We are locals and have often gone to the Bistro for lunch. Made a reservation and was asked if it were a special occasion. I replied, Anniversary and Birthday. Asked for a shaded area near the grass. Upon arrival - couldn't find the reservation. Ten minute wait, even though there were empty tabl...

Very nice grounds, nice rooms, some with great ocean views, great folks work there, but...not the 5 star location expected for the price. Nice venue for the World of Pinot Noir. Issues and concerns included room service not at level it should have been, spa facility not as clean as it should have be...

Amazing resort! This place has incredible views and amazing rooms. The pools are wonderful and it is also in walking distance to the ocean. The spa is enjoyable and a really good place to relax and enjoy yourself. Service at the Ocean House restaurant can be a little slow at times. Overall a really ...

Even before we arrived we were impressed by the service of the staff. The concierge reached out to find out if we were celebrating any special occasion (which we were) and if we had anything in particular we wanted to do while we were visiting the area. Her responses helped guide our planning and h...

When we decided a 90th Birthday should be special for my Mom, we had expectations that were surpassed at every step when we chose the Ritz Bacara near her house in Goleta. Top notch place, people, food, service, amenities, views, and attention to detail. It was as comfortable as being at a friends h...

Location was awesome. The weather is amazing. The rooms were very nice. Had kind of a Tuscan feel. Customer service was always on point. Always friendly, always smiling. I ordered a grapefruit juice at the pool and they ran all the way to the lobby to get it because they didn't serve it at the pool ...

We had a fantastic time at the Bacara! We decided to reserve a room that included the Club Lounge and it turned out to be an amazing benefit! The weather didn t cooperate, so it was nice to have a place we could go to easily grab a drink, a snack or whatever! I highly recommend!!

Very nice hotel above the Pacific with private access to the beach. The beach is but rocky and has little sand not suitable for swimming.
Very nice rooms with minor deficiencies, which probably only disturb Europeans: light switches go only at the 5th press, are crooked on the wall. In the toilet y...

It's a beautiful place! Enjoying the place for 3 days for a company event and I was happy to be able to see the place. I would like to go back for a mini vacation since we live near the area or even for a dining at the restaurant.

We only stay at Ritz Carlton. This one had exceptional grounds. The restaurant was good. Pool was a bit of a disaster. 10 billion people all crammed in. Really you are the Ritz! We need to build a few more family pools. The spa was nice. The staff was amazing!

Amazing resort facilities and great location right on the beach. The service was prompt and friendly. It all comes at a high price tag but it makes for a great experience. The only problem was that the car navigation system actually took us one mile short of the hotel and it required calling the rec...

Now that it s owned by Marriott (with a Ritz Carlton label), that s what the experience feels like. The original Bacara Resort was amazing and a luxurious experience. The grounds are beautiful but that s it. The quality is now that of your standard Marriott type. Not worth the money.

Nobody answers phones, check in was over an hour process at 10:30 at night and we had to wait around for some time before someone came to the front. You have to pay to self park your car which I understand due to covid , but nobody even tells you where to park and had to wait another 10 min.

Easily one of the nicest hotels I've ever stayed in. Super attentive and helpful staff. Rooms are in beautiful villas and each room is spacious and had their own balconies. Pools were clean and provided abundant lounge chairs. They only had valet parking. Rooms are spread out so the hotel offers dri...

The property is very nice, as well as the rooms and architecture. The vibe is more like Las Vegas than Santa Barbara. In the first 24 hrs we ate at Angel Oak; the food was decent not great but we had to leave our table early because of a large rowdy group of very drunk individuals. The next morni...

They got the initiation right for the Ritz - well greeted as I tossed my keys to the handler and said bags in back. Had some champagne on way to room. After that, the problems began- first with no answer to the operator or concierge. Left a message returned 2 hours later-this just doesn't happen ...

My husband and I stayed here on our way out of town. Check in was fine. We got
to our room, and the floors were filthy. My feet were instantly dirty just by walking across the floor. I kindly let the front desk know, and he was extremely rude! I even offered to clean it myself, I just needed a mop....

It was a gorgeous location and the took was very comfortable. The amenities at this location are different than the Half Moon Bay location. Over there if you don't like horseback riding or golf it's boring. Here there are lots of pools, and if course Santa Barbara and beaches are nearby.

Very nice stay but not up to the quality I would expect from an Ritz. Rooms were a bit rundown. Room service took an eternity. Service atbthe Cabanas was abysmal. We had a good time and it was still better than a lot of hotels, but a better trained staff would elevate it.
