Property is well kept. Room was clean and nicely decorated. Towels were soft, they seemed brand new.
Choice of tea and coffee was superb.
Definitely will stay here again.
Oh and the view…breathtaking!
The view was incredible, but the space was like a trailer park.

Very overpriced for this "lodge" which is actually a dated motel complete with traffic noise and paper-thin walls so you can hear everything your neighbors say and do. I've had better "continental breakfast" at Motel 6. The rooms are decently appointed albeit a mini fridge would be amazing as there are zero restaurants nor shops nearby. The wifi was fast. With those bloated prices per night, I would not stay here again.
Bed and pillows were not comfortable. The view from the property was the best part. The housekeeper smoked outside our room so we had to shut our window. There is only spotty WiFi and no TV. Getting breakfast from a plastic shed was very strange.
From the moment I arrived, I was impressed by the exceptional experience. The room was immaculate, beautifully maintained, and provided a comfortable and relaxing atmosphere. The ocean view was truly breathtaking and added an unforgettable touch to the entire stay. There was something special about being able to unwind while taking in the beauty of the ocean right from the room. Overall, this was an exceptional stay from beginning to end. The combination of the beautiful ocean views, pristine accommodations, convenient location, and outstanding service made it feel like a true luxury getaway. I would absolutely return and highly recommend this property to anyone looking for a memorable and relaxing stay.
This is just the sweetest place, nestled into a cliffside, south of Big Sur. Miles from any amenities, and with no one to greet you when you arrive, the owners nevertheless make checking in a breeze and even have the wit to provide an extra key in the lockbox in case you lock yourself out. In the morning, a "breakfast nook" opens at 8:30am so you can have a muffin and fruit and juice with the coffee you've made in the room. Ocean views are spectacular, even if you don't have an ocean view room, since you can walk up the trail to enjoy the sea. A real find. I've passed through Lucia dozens of times and always wondered what it would be like to stay there. Now I know. On this trip, it was the perfect stop.
Awesome property with views to die for. Very quiet and the rooms were nicely appointed. Only thing is food is either 30 mins North or 40 mins south. Luckily, there is a taco truck across the street that is delicious! Definitely 10/10. We would definitely return again! Thank you Lucia Lodge! 😊
This place is really lovely and quiet. The views are amazing! Despite the loss of their restaurant they did provide some fruit, blueberry bread, boiled eggs and some other items for breakfast. It's a long drive in either direction for food so be prepared with snacks as the only way to cook is with a small microwave oven. The staff were very nice and provided us with additional coffee when asked. I can't wait to get back to Lucia Lodge, it is a special place.
The views are perhaps one of the best in the world. Big, mature pines on the side of a cliff with spectacular ocean views. Clean rooms, modern bathroom, and one of the best showers I've ever experienced. Not restricted super spray, but real water volume and endless hot water. When you arrive, your name is on a little white board indicating your room number. Go to your room and get your key from a lock box. Lock box combination is on your paperwork. Enjoy. Below the cabins is an area with a bench and there is one above the cabins as well. Incredible views!
Great stay! Clean room, BEAUTIFUL view, very pleasant staff. The continental breakfast could have been better, but due to a recent fire, it was understandable.
View is beautiful. Very remote. Disappointed at the exterior. No staff. Self check-in. No amenities. The room was clean. Bathroom was very nice. No breakfast. Over priced. Suggest getting food before you get there.
