Top Santa Barbara Beach Hotel Reviews

Mar Monte Hotel, in The Unbound Collection by Hyatt

Mar Monte Hotel, in The Unbound Collection by Hyatt

10/10 Excellent
"This is such an amazing property in Santa Barbara right across from the beach. The property itself is so easy to walk to and from as you are exploring. They have two restaurants onsite that are amazing! One is a bar with Mexican food and the other Mediterranean food the staff is all top notch from the cleaners, to the front desk, to the bartenders. The only minor thing I would say is that I wish they had umbrellas for the beach. We were there on especially warm days and fly light and no one wants to pack umbrellas. Make sure to get a room that has a balcony facing the ocean. The pink skies are beautiful!!"
