Lovely people, food and stay. The location is out of this world and take the time to visit the hot tubs on property. Side note: if you’re not staying in one of the ocean front rooms, I probably wouldn’t pay the price.

Pictures do not live up to the reality - the staff/team willingness and genuine intent to make every guest experience memorable is what makes this a truly world-class hotel! The cost is worth it.

Magical Experience

The view was magical from our coastal view room. We had incredible service from start to finish, excellent food, and we had the most serene and relaxing time for my husband and I for our Anniversary and Babylon. Worth every penny!

This is not a hotel, it is an experience. A true slice of heaven

I went here with my boyfriend in April. The place was absolutely breathtaking. I had read about this place is travel magazines for years and had extremely high expectations, yet the hotel managed to surpass all of them. Not one detail was spared. When you arrive, you're offered champagne and driven to your room in a lexus. Your tourguide shows you around the beautiful property and gives you room details. You're wanting to jump out of the car in the first minute because you want to enjoy all the property has to offer. I live a very busy, hectic, NYC partying lifestyle and this is the one place where I was actually able to sit back and relax and take in the natural beauty. A heavenly retreat for the mind, body and soul.

Just what the doctor ordered

The Unique hotel is situated on the crest of a mountain with fabulous views of the mountains and ocean. The hotel staff completely accommodating yet not in your face. We attended a quality yoga class with a very informed instructor. After yoga we attended an extensive brunch with one the tastiest French toast I have had the pleasure of eating. The only regret is not staying longer . It's a great space to unwind.

This hotel is very expensive by anyones standards. It is some, but not an impossible distance from other towms. That being said, it is located with a view of the most beautiful scenery along California`s coast. Each room is well designed and the refrigerator is stocked with wine, cheese, crackers,cookies,etc. Great for a picnic. The restaurant is beautifully done and the food is fancy and well done. The complimentary breakfast is just lovely with something for everyone. The staff is the best we have ever encountered. They are respectful,good natured, friendly and helpful. We enjoyed them so much. Yoga, hiking and other diversions are available. You definitly can be taken away from the real world. An elegant way to excape!
