It was our first time staying at Post Ranch Inn, and it was truly an amazing experience! The resort is stunning, and the staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming, making us feel right at home. I would definitely recommend visiting this beautiful place. One highlight was that everything in the minibar was complimentary, which was a wonderful touch and made our stay even more enjoyable. The only reason I’m giving 4 out of 5 stars is that we couldn’t enjoy breakfast in the main restaurant due to renovations. At this premium price point, I believe they should have arranged an alternative breakfast option that offered an equally amazing experience. Overall, it was a fantastic stay, and we look forward to returning once the renovations are complete!

Heavenly experience! Beautiful location, so peaceful and serene. All the staff are top notch, including the spa staff, and so very good at what they do. The food at Sierra Mar for all meals was outstanding! Post Ranch Inn is our favorite place, our happy place! Keep up the awesome job!

This review is LONG overdue, as I am now here on my 3rd stay over Christmas Eve at the Post Ranch Inn; and, each time I just can't wait to return again. This is an exceptionally special place that I dreamed of visiting for 10 years before finally making it here - and it more than exceeded my expectations. The Ocean House I stayed in my 1st time was so beautiful that I was moved to tears (that happened again today, when I entered the Cliff House!). My 2nd stay was in the Pacific Suite which was also stunning. Here, there is unmatched ambience: the property itself claims some of the most spectacular Big Sur coastline, and they incorporate thoughtful and elegant architecture that cohesively embraces its natural surroundings. The rooms are designed and positioned to perfectly showcase jaw-dropping views. I love coming here for solo getaways to celebrate milestones or take much needed time for myself to recharge. I can gaze endlessly at the horizon and watch "nature's color show" as the sea and sky change throughout the day. It's breathtakingly beautiful. I came for Christmas last year and there is nothing like waking up to a sunrise view of the expansion Pacific Ocean. It was so memorable that I have made it a tradition that I hope to continue for years to come. A big warm thank you to DJ, Chin, Cindy, and the entire team at PR who each play a part in creating a wonderful experience every time I come. PR has come to feel like a home away from home, with heavenly views that celebrate the unique beauty and magic of Big Sur. A special shoutout in particular to DJ who I met on my 1st stay and is the absolute best! He always goes above and beyond to help me pick the perfect room and set me up for a memorable stay, from extra little touches to personalized recommendations on how to spend my time, and checking in on me in a truly authentic and caring manner. His dedication to his guests and his team is amazing, and I can't thank him enough for all he's done!

Post Ranch Inn is an amazing place! Everywhere you go, you are surrounded by beauty, comfort, and peace. It is the perfect place to detach from the rat race! We especially loved hiking through the redwood forest on the property. We also couldn't get enough of the view from the restaurant, Sierra Mar. We appreciated that the staff kept our room stocked with firewood - and we kept the fire going each evening. I love the sustainability efforts at Post Ranch, too. It was a beautiful, relaxing vacation. Just what we needed - in a place of unimaginable beauty!

Top notch experience from start to finish. The staff were incredible, the property impeccable, and the views are beyond description. Our beautiful room was perched on the edge of a cliff overlooking the Pacific. No details were overlooked including a wood burning fireplace all inclusive snacks and drinks and incredible privacy. The bed was very comfortable and the hot tub was great. The restaurant (Sierra Mar) was a highlight as well. Great views, superb food, and excellent signature cocktails. Homemade breakfast pastries were another highlight. A special shout out to Tim Lee (GM). He and his team were incredible. Super friendly and fully committed to making sure we had an unforgettable trip. Definitely a “next level”customer service experience. Looking forward to returning soon. JM

The Post Ranch Inn hits all the marks: beautiful location, phenomenal staff, impeccable service, delicious food. The rooms compete with each other on how luxurious they are. Each room creates a private escape that allows you to feel detached from the stresses of the world. The staff makes you feel like you are their only priority, a rare talent in today’s hectic world. We left relaxed and looking forward to our next opportunity to return.

We stayed at Post Ranch Inn for my wife's birthday. It offers a truly unparalleled experience, combining breathtaking views of the Big Sur coastline with luxurious, eco-friendly accommodations. With amenities like infinity pools, a lap pool, spa treatments, yoga classes, nature walks, sound baths, and even falconry, Post Ranch Inn offers a deeply relaxing and tranquil atmosphere. The entire staff was incredibly welcoming and attentive, especially at reception and Lexus driver service, which made our stay all the more enjoyable. Our dinners/breakfasts at Sierra Mar were a fantastic experience (food, wine, service, views), and we appreciated the unhurried pace, allowing us to savor both the food and the incredible views. With pools open 24 hours, we could enjoy sunrise, sunset, or stargazing whenever we wanted. We’ll definitely be back!
