We stayed at Alila Ventana Big Sur Resort from 12/30/23 to 1/2/24 (a 4-day, 3-night stay). The resort exceeded our expectations in all aspects. Bryan greeted us during check-in, and we were pleasantly surprised to be upgraded to a suite even on New Year’s weekend. We arrived at 5:30 pm, and despite the darkness, Bryan patiently explained everything about the resort, walking us to our room and touring the area along the way. At 6:00 pm, we took a shuttle to Sur House for dinner, where we ordered grilled octopus, grilled *****ed bass, and a pork chop. For dessert, we enjoyed tiramisu and pumpkin cheesecake. The service and food quality were top-notch. The next morning, we joined a complimentary 2-hour Coast Ridge Hike with Katty, covering about 5 miles. The hike had a steep incline at the beginning lasting about 10-15 minutes, but it became smooth and easy afterward, leading us to the top of the mountain and back. Despite the cloudy weather, the experience was refreshing and relaxed, with Katty being an excellent guide, sharing interesting insights along the path. Before dinner, we visited the Japanese Hot Spring, an unmissable and wonderful experience. The following morning, the weather was beautiful, allowing us to enjoy breakfast outdoors with a stunning view at Sur House. Once again, the breakfast was exceptional. The staff at this resort are the treasures and reasons to stay, elevating the importance of our visit through their hospitality. We will definitely return in the future.
