My daughter and I recently had a wonderful, relaxing 3-night stay at the Ritz Bacara. My daughter is a college student nearby and needed a relaxing getaway. The Ritz definitely fit the bill. The staff was fantastic, probably the best part of our experience. We felt well taken care of. My daughter had a massage at the spa and said it was incredible. It was a very rainy weekend so we weren't able to enjoy the pool or tennis courts, but I took a long walk around the property and the beach and it is...

We enjoyed our two-night stay here. The hallway fan provided white noise, which helped minimize any outside or hallway sounds. The bathroom was clean and well-stocked, and the bed was comfortable.
The front desk staff was attentive and responsive to our requests, which we appreciated. Breakfast was included - simple but satisfying, with everything well stocked and conveniently available. Parking was easy, and the jacuzzi was a nice bonus during our stay.

We had a great experience at the hotel. Very clean and welcoming. The room was perfect for two adults and our two children. Plenty of space…and the proximity to the Downtown area was quite close. Will definitely return to the hotel the next time we’re in Santa Barbara

This is the second time we have stayed within a year. We had a really great server for lunch at Norman's on 4/28. I forget her name, unfortunately. Will return again!

The staff service was superb, and the grounds, inboarticular the pool and outdoor patio were gorgeous. There were stains on the carpet in the inside of the hotel room, but other than that, the hotel room was nice. The room could have also used more firm pillows.

The value for the price is excellent. The location is great and I love that it is pet friendly, however the only drawback to that is a garage can located near a side entrance door that also supplies the bags for pet dropping made it a bit stinky as you enter. Otherwise it was a wonderful stay. I highly recommend this for the value.

I can't say enough good things about this hotel. My fiance and I stayed overnight because we were attending a wedding at San Ysidro Rancho and for those of you attending a wedding there- this only 7 mins away from the ranch, has ocean views, its clean, charming, rooms come fully equipped with your own patio, fireplace, 4-post bed, complimentary breakfast that can be delivered to your room and so on.
We couldn't have been happier with our stay and did I mention that the staff was incredible....

We stayed here for our wedding and it was so perfect. We walked to the courthouse and so many stores and restaurants nearby we didn’t have to drive anywhere. The hotel was great. Staff is so friendly (Chole was amazing) the room was beautiful, the complimentary wine and coffee was great. The bar was great. All the food and drinks were so delicious. We will be coming back for our anniversary.
