The pool area was lovely, but kids splashing around was disruptive.

my stay in santa barbara was made even better by the belmond hotel's stunning views of the hills and ocean. the staff went above and beyond, making me feel welcome and valued during my visit. the spacious room and serene atmosphere truly exceeded my expectations after my last stay in the area.

the pool heater was broken.

belmond hotel is stunning! we got an upgrade to a premier king room with a balcony view, and the amenities for our pup were amazing. the staff was super friendly and always paid attention to our needs. plus, the pool was relaxing and the surrounding area is immaculate, perfect for unwinding.

A Peaceful Retreat with Unforgettable Flavors

Our stay in the Premier King Room was marked by tranquil afternoons among lemon trees and a delightful turtle pond. The saltwater pool was refreshing, and the 'Goleta Lemon' dessert is a must-try. Be sure to enjoy the garden atmosphere for a serene experience.

Stunning view, delightful experience, complemented by the breathtaking scenery from the saltwater pool and the convenience of e-bikes available to explore the area.

N/A

Staying here with my adult kids was a treat! We loved the spacious bungalows that felt like a home away from home. One afternoon, we enjoyed a leisurely networking event on the terrace, soaking in the Pacific views while discussing our favorite books. It was a perfect blend of relaxation and inspiration.

In my wife’s opinion, more family-friendly activities would be great.

Birthday vibes all around!

Had a fab time celebrating my hubby's bday here! The room was super comfy, and the views were to die for. The heated pool? Not so much—totally freezing, which was a bummer. But dinner at the restaurant was delicious, even if the service was a bit slow. Overall, perfect for a special occasion!

My stay was enjoyable, with great views of the gardens from my room and attentive staff creating a welcoming atmosphere. However, the pool area was limited in space, with some noise from guests using their phones nearby. Overall, I found the experience relaxing, though service at dinner was a bit slow at times.

The views from the terrace during the networking event were breathtaking, and the kids enjoyed exploring the lush grounds. Our room was like a cozy retreat, with lovely decor and super comfy beds. It was a great family getaway in such a stunning place.

My kids wished there were more options for kid-friendly activities onsite.

the service and food exceeded my expectations during my stay. we loved the breathtaking views of the hills, especially from the pool area. the staff made us feel welcome with their attentive hospitality and charming demeanor.
