Sublime. An experience not to be missed

Dinner at Post Ranch. Perfection. Warm greetings all around. Casually elegant. Effortless service, gracious. Food spectacular. Pre fixe. Do not miss the shortribs. Everything we had was great. Chocolate dessert a nice surprise (secret ingredient). Cheese plate best I have ever had.

I've read the negative reviews for this hotel and have to laugh. Yes depending on which room you are in the bed could be high...big deal. We were booked in the Ocean House for 3 nights and after only a few hours knew that we wanted one more night. Unfortunately the Ocean House was booked for the extra night but we did opt to move for the one night to the F post. The only thing i would say is that the view from the F post is not as nice as you have trees blocking the view. As for the accommodation though it was just as nice. The staff here are so amazing and so accommodating. We had one mishap...I have allergies and unfortunately the pastries are not named. My husband thankfully took a muffin that I am actually allergic to. If it had been me it would not have ended well. On our way out of breakfast we mentioned this to the girl up front. A few hours later we did get a call from a manager apologizing, surprised himself that it was not clearly marked and assured us that that would be changing. The care and attention here is amazing and i have felt very safe. Yes,at times internet sucks...oh well...this is truly a place that you come to chill a d unplug. We leave tomorrow and I am sad and grateful for the amazing experience!!! Thank you to all of you at Post Ranch In.

From the delicious gourmet snacks left for your enjoyment, to the awesome outdoor soaking tubs, every detail is lovingly tended to. We have had the pleasure of staying in the Pacific Suites twice now, and I can not possibly describe the beauty of these rooms. First of all, they are huge- spacious in every aspect. The fireplaces are super cool and easy to light with a glass door to keep the smell of the smoke out of the room. Giant bathtub and shower, with a full glass window to one of the most beautiful ocean views you will ever see. Deer, coyotes, bunnies, turkeys, quail and bobcats may roam the field below your room and we were treated to several condors gliding through the view while we took a morning soak outside. The little wet bar has amazing coffee and cookies in addition to house made hummus and crackers among other delicious snacks. Several selections of wine and beer are also all top notch. Dinner at Sierra Mar is the ultimate treat with seasonal produce amd meats highlighted in gorgeous combination with a wine list that will knock your socks off. That said, always breakfast in our room, wrapped in our cozy robes by the fire, and are never disappointed in what the staff concocts to start our day. Hiking around the property is easy and beautiful, a sampling of most of the major ecologic zones in Big Sur- a bit of redwood forest, some nice oak chaparral and everything that lies in between. If you are there during whale season, you'll see a great show from either of the two hot tub/soaking pools perched on the edge of the cliff. We got to see whales breaching on our last trip- worth the price of admission any day! Lastly, the staff of Post Ranch is truly dedicated to your enjoyment of the environment and many are local to the Big Sur Valley. Some have worked at the property since the day the doors first opened, and their knowledge of service and of the surroundings enhances every interaction. You can tell how much they love their jobs and the amazing environment they work in. Can you tell that I enjoyed my 50th birthday stay?
