Location

Big Sur is 150 miles south of San Francisco. Luckily, there are airports closer than SFO. We recommend flying into Monterey Regional Airport (MRY), as it’s just 36 miles from Ventana Big Sur. We suggest renting a car from Avis, our club partner, if you want to explore beyond the property.

Amazing Place

Extremely relaxing, wonderful place to unwind and spend quality time with your spouse.

Beautiful resort/suspect service

The resort was amazing. Incredible views, comfortable, well appointed rooms and great amenities. Unfortunately all of this was lost because of the poor service. From check-in to pool service everything felt self-serv, often not being able to find someone to assist. Even other guests were discussing how disappointed they were in the staff. I hope the resort management reviews their staff and service because it is truly a beautiful location at a five star asset
