to get started.

What a special time we spent at Ventana. The grounds and accommodations were beautiful and serene. Wish we could have been there longer but won't hesitate to come back if we are in the area. The heaters and blankets at dinner on the deck were a really appreciated touch. That made it so sitting on deck for dinner and admiring that spectacular view so much more enjoyable.

Keep in mind that you’re not guaranteed to be able to dine in the resort restaurant, you have to make reservations in advance if you like to dine between 6pm and 9pm.
Simply the best place in California to recharge your batteries

That the breakfast was not included and was charged even for coffee and tea, especially given the hotel night was already quite expensive.
The location was amazing with a fantastic view. It was a boutique hotel with very few people which made it feel more exclusive. The room was beautiful and there were several pools / jacuzzis we could use. The gym was great with 2 peloton bikes

“OK stay, but Visit Marred with Inconsiderate Guests and Inoperable Gym Equipment”
- • Leisure trip

Gym is way too small for a hotel of that quality and size. Treadmill was not working one day of my stay. Our entire stay was plagued by a wedding party that took over the pool and the restaurant for most of the weekend. If you book this hotel, make sure there isn't a wedding during your stay. It was very noisy at night and at the pool the next day. Not very relaxing.
Beautiful hotel and setting. There were lots of nice touches like the daily wine and cheese hour from 4-5pm. I liked that per my request the room and sheets/towels were serviced daily.
