The property was well maintained. The view from our room was amazing. We really enjoyed our two-day stay. The only downside was parking. The nearest parking lot to our room was a decent walk up a steep hill. If you have mobility issues, please check on the parking arrangements for your specific room you book.

We had a “sunset suite “. First, the positive: the views were amazing. The room itself seemed to be a long storage facility right under the lounge that was converted to a guest room. It was oddly long with a very VERY low ceiling. At night and morning, you could hear them moving the chairs and tables above our bed around closing time. The staff was apathetic with big smiles and no interest in actually helping.

The resort is in the best location with breathtaking 180 degree views of the dramatic pacific coast. The room was clean and very comfortable with a cozy fireplace. The onsite restaurant and lounge are excellent choices for dining breakfast, lunch, or dinner while gazing at the incredible ocean views along Big Sur. I loved my stay here!

While our room had a fantastic coastal view it was strangely missing a bedside table and light on one side - there is nowhere to buy any snacks or sundries - no little store at all on the property - which staff said they are asked about all the time. The property is tricky to get around -it’s steep - lots of stairs and not very conducive to exploring. The sunsets are spectacular:)
