Post Ranch Inn

Amazing get away

It was our first time staying at Post Ranch Inn, and it was truly an amazing experience! The resort is stunning, and the staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming, making us feel right at home. I would definitely recommend visiting this beautiful place. One highlight was that everything in the minibar was complimentary, which was a wonderful touch and made our stay even more enjoyable. The only reason I’m giving 4 out of 5 stars is that we couldn’t enjoy breakfast in the main restaurant due to renovations. At this premium price point, I believe they should have arranged an alternative breakfast option that offered an equally amazing experience. Overall, it was a fantastic stay, and we look forward to returning once the renovations are complete!

This review is LONG overdue, as I am now here on my 3rd stay over Christmas Eve at the Post Ranch Inn; and, each time I just can't wait to return again. This is an exceptionally special place that I dreamed of visiting for 10 years before finally making it here - and it more than exceeded my expectations. The Ocean House I stayed in my 1st time was so beautiful that I was moved to tears (that happened again today, when I entered the Cliff House!). My 2nd stay was in the Pacific Suite which was also stunning. Here, there is unmatched ambience: the property itself claims some of the most spectacular Big Sur coastline, and they incorporate thoughtful and elegant architecture that cohesively embraces its natural surroundings. The rooms are designed and positioned to perfectly showcase jaw-dropping views. I love coming here for solo getaways to celebrate milestones or take much needed time for myself to recharge. I can gaze endlessly at the horizon and watch "nature's color show" as the sea and sky change throughout the day. It's breathtakingly beautiful. I came for Christmas last year and there is nothing like waking up to a sunrise view of the expansion Pacific Ocean. It was so memorable that I have made it a tradition that I hope to continue for years to come. A big warm thank you to DJ, Chin, Cindy, and the entire team at PR who each play a part in creating a wonderful experience every time I come. PR has come to feel like a home away from home, with heavenly views that celebrate the unique beauty and magic of Big Sur. A special shoutout in particular to DJ who I met on my 1st stay and is the absolute best! He always goes above and beyond to help me pick the perfect room and set me up for a memorable stay, from extra little touches to personalized recommendations on how to spend my time, and checking in on me in a truly authentic and caring manner. His dedication to his guests and his team is amazing, and I can't thank him enough for all he's done!
