    The room was brand-new, with comfortable bed and a roll in shower, a hairdryer, and bath robes in the bathroom. The breakfast was delicious and there was lots of outstanding food.

    Ideal small hotel, gorgeous views of the ocean. Favourable location in an urban city center. Also - adjacent to a sandy beach, which was fun, even in late Fall, and a hillside. Outstanding meal and excellent service. Outdoor bar and great pool.

    We were impressed by the grand and relaxing reception area, adorned with beautiful flowers and welcoming staff. The spacious and comfortable rooms with a touch of Spanish colonial style provided a peaceful night's sleep. The well-maintained grounds and friendly staff ensured a flawless stay. Our issue with cleanliness was promptly resolved, and the extra accommodations made us feel truly appreciated. The location and service were exceptional, from the valet to the front desk to the manager.

    We stayed here for our 19th wedding anniversary and we enjoyed it very much. A friend of mine referred the place and let us know about how great location was and great views. Definitely didn’t disappoint. We had a great time and all the amenities were great. Service there was the best we’ve ever had and would like to return and stay a little longer next time.

    The immediate service was great and being attended as Mr Arellano was great. Everyone there seemed to appreciate working there even though it was pretty busy when we arrived.

    There was some fruit that had spoiled in the spa area. A couple oranges were gray and needed to be replaced

    We were on our way to San Francisco for a stopover here and would have liked to spend more time here. We'd love to come back.

    The room assigned to us first did not correspond to the booking (one double bed with sofa instead of two double beds). But it was quickly corrected.

    The location of this hotel is absolutely amazing, as it is right near the coast. It's so nice to be able to walk to the beach and enjoy the beautiful scenery. Additionally, there are plenty of great restaurants in Santa Barbara that are just a short drive away, giving you the opportunity to try some delicious local cuisine.

    There was one negative aspect of our stay. The service at the hotel was not up to par.

    The Ritz-Carlton was a lovely and expansive resort with beautiful Mediterranean plants and ocean access. Our suite was spacious with two balconies and a wet bar. The Club Lounge was cozy with gluten-free options and the pools were well-heated. we enjoyed our stay.
