The property is a secluded oasis set well off the main road. You are greeted at the entrance by a well trained and friendly staff, which is a prelude to the attention and warmth that you will experience throughout your stay. From the front desk, to the bell staff to the concierge to the staff in the restaurants, all are... more

My husband and I just got back from a 3 night stay at Bacara. We had a wonderful time but didn't love it. Honestly, I think that was mostly due to the fact that, at the end of the day, it's a large resort and that's not totally our style. I think most helpful to other potential guests would be... more

My boyfriend and I decided to spend Thanksgiving as a couple, away from our respective families. When Napa seemed to daunting to pull over with the travel traffic, we opted for Santa Barbara. I had heard that this resort was beautiful but the website pictures do not do it justice. We arrived on Wednesday and were instantly upgraded to an... more

Went to Bacara 3 years ago and it was a little snooty at the time, the credit crises has been a great thing for this hotel as it's humbled the employees & management. Got a deal through american express $249 per night 3rd night was free, included breakfast daily, upgrade to ocean view for free, plus a free $75 dollar... more

If you're looking for a place that gives you lots of privacy and comfort then stay here! It's a bit pricey but definitely worth the splurge if you can afford it. If not, plan for it and make it a place you can go for an occasion. The room was beautiful with a huge perfectly manicured bed, our own private... more

My friends were staying at the resort for a romantic anniversary. I called to have a bottle of wine delivered to their room as a surprise. The concierge could not be bothererd with such a mundane request, that was to be handled by the in-room dining staff. Uh, ok. Now, what in-room dining staff have you ever known to be... more

We just completed our first stay at the Bacara. It is really a lovely resort in many ways including the layout, the general service, etc. However, I do not recommend that you go to the MIro restaurant. This restaurant is way overpriced. For example, I ordered the Bibs lettuce salad for $18 as part of my meal. The plate came... more

My husband and I have stayed at many 5 and 4 star resorts, but Bacara is a hidden jem we didnt know about! Besides the fact that the resort is super clean, classy, and luxurious with all the amenities and services that are provided, the customer service was superb. We had no prior reservations and were offered an upgrade right... more

Whilst the hotel is lovely, our trip was ruined by the taking of diamond earrings from our bedroom. It was not something we would have expected to have happened at such an exclusive resort. When we contacted the police, they suggested that this had happened before at this resort, yet at no point were we warned by the hotel to... more
