Alila Ventana Big Sur
"We really loved our stay with one exception. A woodpecker would wake us up daily between 6am-6:30am pecking loudly on the outside of our suite (#58). We asked if anything could be done but there wasn’t and it was a common occurrence. We would love to go back if we can be sure we could sleep in."

"View is beautiful. Very remote. Disappointed at the exterior. No staff. Self check-in. No amenities. The room was clean. Bathroom was very nice. No breakfast. Over priced. Suggest getting food before you get there."

We did not receive house cleaning during our stay due to only staying 3 days. Very expensive parking fee on top ..."
