The Ritz-Carlton Bacara, Santa Barbara
8301 Holllister Avenue, Goleta, Santa Barbara, 93117, United States of America – Great location - show map
Beautiful location, excellent staff, just a beautiful property. Dinner at the restaurant angel oak was amazing!

I absolutely love the architecture, setting along the coastline-the hotel is lush with trees, plants, colorful flowers -making it feel dreamlike-the perfect getaway

been coming here for years. not sure I like the Ritz taking over but it’s close enough to what it was.

Room needs renewal, food was very good, service was excellent

The room and view were great! loved the chill vibe and not to old and stogy.

Location and the activities provided, went to yoga every day of the week and road the electrical bike along the coast was amazing. The manager stepped up his game when we had a horrible service at the restaurant on site.

The room was spacious and clean. The balcony was great and the site terrific. The service was fantastic.

The property is beautiful. The pools, access to the beach and rooms are all wonderful and convenient. The staff was amazing. We didn't find one staff person who wasn't courteous and helpful.

Beautiful property and very nice room with fireplace inside and fire pit on the outdoor patio

Property was beautiful! However all of the restaurants were such a disappointment. From in room dining to the restaurants unfortunately from all the the meals we had the hummus plate was the best.
