Summary: Stayed here four years ago and loved it. Came back this time for our anniversary, let the front desk know the occasion upon arrival. Resort didn’t make any gestures to make the occasion special the entire stay. I let the front desk know that the glass divider for the shower had a large crack running through it. There was a stain on the bench at the in room dining table and the outdoor fireplace wasn’t working. The resort was not busy. The only offer provided was to move us into a room with a less desirable view. I declined, they completely ignored the inoperable outdoor fireplace for three days. Calling room service often took 2-3 calls to get someone to answer the phone. The stay was underwhelming. For this price I’ve had better experiences and service. We also traveled with our kids. At times it felt like we were at a 60+ resort, did not feel family friendly.

Summary: Perfect is only way to describe this place.

Summary: The hotel was quite nice and our room was quite large at 625 ft.². The entire place seems a little bit dated even though they just remodeled it. It’s very clean and it was really comfortable. It just seemed overall to be a bit dated. Overall, we had great interactions with the staff. Only one night was the turn down service a little ridiculous coming around 9 PM. The grounds were peaceful and beautiful and well kept. Our dinner at the restaurant was delicious but quite expensive for what it was. The spa was nice, and what they offered was extensive. We have stayed at places like Ojai Valley Inn and this reminded me of a much smaller less fancy version. We loved the location, however where this resort was we felt it was quite easy to get into town and we really loved the little bakery there. It was also quite easy to get to Carmel by the sea, Monterey and offered grocery stores and shopping nearby. Overall, I would stay here again, although I do think it might be a little overpriced for what it is.
