    peaceful retreat
    amazing view
    disconnected dining experience
    overpriced portions
    limited food selection

    Staying in a fireplace guest room with a fine canyon view offered the perfect blend of privacy and beauty. The luxurious bedding and intimate firelight created a magical atmosphere. Exploring the serene paths and enjoying the infinity hot tub were highlights. The dining options felt disconnected from the overall charm, with lackluster portion sizes that didn't reflect the prices. It would benefit from a broader, more appealing menu to match the serene ambiance of the resort.

    We absolutely loved our stay there and will definitely return for future romantic getaways. The pathways that surround the property are beautiful and although it is optional, we took the 15 minute walk to the restaurant for dinner on a beautiful lighted pathway blanketed in stars.

    The logs they give you for the fire burn out too quickly and we had to call repeatedly for them to bring more.

    wine hour
    loud neighbors
    slow service

    Alila Ventana feels like a hidden gem where relaxation meets luxury-imagine lounging in a hammock while watching the sun dip behind the redwoods, all accompanied by a complimentary cheese and wine hour that would make even Dionysus jealous. The staff was as attentive as a golden retriever waiting for a treat, ensuring every request was met with a smile.

    Very friendly and service oriented staff. I.E. We got a glass of local (good) wine to sweeten check in, very good quality and complementary breakfast, rooms are in small wooden houses that fit neatly into the magnificent landscape/garden. Hotel displays great attention to detail. Very quiet roomes. Great place to relax. Nice partial view on the ocean.

    dreamy hot tub
    helpful staff

    would like to stay longer

    The king suite with a hot tub was dreamy! It had air conditioning, a minibar, and a tv. Loved soaking in the hot tub while surrounded by redwoods. Spa facilities included yoga classes and massages which were devine. The staff was super nice and helpful.

    wine
    cheese hour

    The king suite with a hot tub was an absolute dream! I loved glamping under redwoods, soaking in a sunset-lit jacuzzi, and relaxing by the cozy fire pit. After a long hike, the wine and cheese hour was the perfect treat!
