Lock in a great price for Ventana Big Sur, An Alila Resort – Adult Only – rated 9.2 by recent guests!

to get started.

Great ocean and mountain view, two pools and feeling of absolute relaxation.

Andrey, United States of America

This is a lovely hotel in a phenomenal location and the rooms are very nice indeed. Great restaurant too with a lovely vibe. Staff are lovely. We would def revisit.

Amanda, United Kingdom

Great place with relax and quiet atmosphere. You can really forget about everything except your time. Add breathtaking ocean and mountain views. But to get full balance you should try to catch special prices as original ones are not so friendly.

Andrey, United States of America

The atmosphere in the common areas, the board games and pool, fire place in the room, the location of the hotel couldn’t be better, outdoors jacuzzi with mountain views ,amazing surroundings and the activities organized by the hotel.

Maria, Qatar

Terrific location. Wonderful swimming pools and spas. Comfortable beds. Charming, helpful staff. Free shuttle to locations within a 4 mile radius--you may want to use it because the food at Ventana is very expensive. Great walks on the property and close-by.

Mary, United States of America

the setting was outstanding. staff very friendly, but did not actively communicate all the benefits and activities available for us.

Anthony, United States of America

Rooms were lovely, setting is incomparable, restaurant has great food

United States of America

“The location is beautiful and romantic. Rooms are cozy. Drivers will take you to and from local restaurants. On-site naturalist will give you a tour of property and can recommend other places to visit/hike. Two words - No Kids!”

Caitlin

United States of America

“This is my favorite hotel in the world! Rooms are spacious, pure luxury yet cozy. Wonderful views of the hills. Favorite feature: the spectacular one mile walk through the forest, part of which is the path to the restaurant. We love the pools, great for lap swimming. The property is clean, the staff are genuine and delightful!! Two nights felt like a week's vacation, given the tranquility and peacefulness. Wish we booked more nights, one could stay here a very long time!!”

“Phenomenal location - lovely hotel”
- • Leisure trip
- • Couple
- • Fireplace Room
- • Stayed 2 nights
눉There are no tea and coffee and milk facilities in the room which for a hotel of this standard. To be fair its true in a lot of American hotels and standard in even the most basic UK hotel. Adding insult a little is at breakfast (where breakfast is pretty expensive), free filter coffee is available but if you want a cup of tea you're charged $6 for a tea bag and $7 for a latte. However this is an incredible hotel but they need to change this tiny thing so you feel that you get value for money. I don't mind expensive hotels at all which are good but they don't need to get ever last cent out of you and I don't want to feel if I come here again that I need to bring my own kettle and tea bag. But other than that it was amazing
눇This is a lovely hotel in a phenomenal location and the rooms are very nice indeed. Great restaurant too with a lovely vibe. Staff are lovely. We would def revisit.

“Priceless location”
- • Leisure trip
- • Couple
- • Guest Room
- • Stayed 2 nights
눉The HVAC system, at least in the 2 rooms that we stayed in, was sub-par for a facility in this price range. It's an old Amana through-the-wall system that you'd expect to see in a mid-range motel, and it's VERY loud, like wake-up-in-the-night loud. The first room that we were assigned--room 5--had an additional noise problem--it's located right above a walk-in refrigerator with a loud fan that cannot be turned off at night. This is very disappointing in a location where you want to enjoy the priceless quiet and darkness. The staff kindly moved us to another room.
눇Terrific location. Wonderful swimming pools and spas. Comfortable beds. Charming, helpful staff. Free shuttle to locations within a 4 mile radius--you may want to use it because the food at Ventana is very expensive. Great walks on the property and close-by.

눉There was a fire alarm that went off in the middle of the night that jolted us wide awake. Front desk said that they'd been working on the spa and that the alarm system was malfunctioning. I got no sleep due to adrenaline flooding my system! Staff was polite but offered no reduction in price or anything else (I didn't ask, that said, one would think that at $750 a night for no sleep, one would be offered.) We won't return. This was my second time there.
