Alila Ventana Big Sur

Beautiful

Friendly staff, clean pool/hot tub areas, amazing views!

Great hot tubs

Big Sur and Ventana are just gorgeous. The staff and service were outstanding. Loved the pool, hot tub, chairs, lunch, massage. Thankfully the weather in Jan was suitable to spend the day wrapped in robe and towels by the pool. There is no real indoor spa or changing room facility. There is a small room with 4 chairs inside. I think the facillities are truly designed for hotel guests as there were no luxurious amentiies resport pass people like me as far as bathroom, changing facillitiies, place to get showered and self pamper. 

Amazing location

My husband and I had a beautiful time at Alila Ventana Big Sur. The infinity hot tub was divine, and the Japanese bath house was unique & tranquil. The property is immaculate. Lunch was fresh & light — great mocktails, friendly service! The property is set at about 1000’ above the ocean, so the views are heavenly. 

We were fortunate to have a lovely sunny day - about 60F in December. It would have been wonderful if they provided Day Pass guests with a robe as it was cold getting out of the hot tubs. I would highly recommend the property consider this given the usual cooler temperatures to provide the best experience for all guests.

A gem in Big Sur

Impeccable service, definitely my favorite property.  Would love to go back again soon!

Great Property

Food is almost as bad as a Chucky Cheese, no options, very juvenile and amateur. Really not adequate for the vibes of the resort and especially not fitting for the price tag even of a day pass.

Great location+vibes, nice staff, horrible food

Beautiful views and sunshine. Pool
Was perfect and the scenery. Pilsner be better.

Amazing property 

I’ve heard great things about Ventana so I wanted to try the resort pass to experience the property without the high hotel room fees. You check in at the spa and have access to the meadow pool (ocean view) area, mountain pool area (more secluded in the property) & japanese baths. There were some bees and flies around the pool which were kind of persistent and annoying but overall the view and pool area were great. Went right at open at 10am and got a perfect spot, other guests came around 11am when it got busier. You don’t get access to the spa lockers so you have to change in the outdoor bathroom. The lunch included is only the poolside menu which is your burger,tacos,salad options— so know it is NOT the sur house restaurant. Had a great time, but curious if it’s worth it to have a spa service instead with pool access vs the pass which is about the same price. Worth it to try once!

Big Sur without the $1k/night pricetag

We thoroughly enjoyed our Resort Day pass. Beautiful grounds, lovely pool and hot tub, and the food was perfect. Great bartender and the service was excellent at the pool as well as check in / checkout. No complaints only good reviews. 

Beautiful spot to relax

Our day at Ventana was wonderful! Amazing service, beautiful location, great food, awesome pool and hot tub. It was great to be able to get a small taste of the experience of staying there. Would love to go back!
