The most perfect birthday ever!

Review of Alisal Ranch
5.0 of 5 bubblesReviewed Aug 18, 2023via mobile
Had the most fantastic birthday at Alisal! Started with a great bbq the night before, then a hayride to a pancake breakfast in the gorgeous hills, canoeing on the lake, biking, swimming and a fantastic dinner. What a great experience! Thanks to everyone at Alisal Ranch for a memorable and wonderful time!

10/10 all day night food activities you will rebook the 2nd you leave and invite more friends & family 2 join next time

Place is a 10 all day. Food is a 10- Wear a jacket or they may give you one to wear. Ribeye and Salmon are melt in your mouth orgasm. Bartenders are a 10 drinks are so goooood- happy hour with live guitar will make you smile til your face hurts. Grounds are picture perfect. Features of the lake, the horses, the farm animals, the grassy areas to play wiht your family is just so peaceful. Kids stuff is just right- some crafts and games. The staff at the front desk are beyond kind. Brooks Garcia specifically in sales is the shining star at this property. I am not the type to review a property but I found after his exceptional hospitality I had to submit something to show my appreciation. Go - you wont regret it- you will only want rebook...

Room tip: Enjoy it all there is so much to do. Golf, fish. horses, crafts, pool , food....

A slice of paradise!

This dude ranch has tons of unique offerings for the area (horseback, archery/air rifle lessons, electric-mountain bike tour, etc.) and makes it hard to believe you’re only a 40-minute drive from Santa Barbara. Couldn’t have asked for a more pleasurable stay at Alisal. Special thanks to EARL for the guided bike tour around much of Alisal’s 10k+ acres, sharing tons about the property’s history along the way. Thanks also to RON for going above and beyond to make our stay extra special, from greeting us by name when seeing us around property to building a fire in our room to cap off both nights (they only use oak wood from trees grown on property!). And lastly a huge thank you to WILL for his professionalism and thoroughness helping coordinate a truly unforgettable couple of days! Alisal’s team provides a 5-star experience and a must-visit when in the area.

Alisal bummer

Alisal is a beautiful resort, but the management is ugly. We loved the setting and the facility, but the problems started with confusion in getting our reservations. Then, when the torrential rains washed out the golf course, they lied to us about the availability. Finally, they overcharged us on our bill. Great place to visit, but hold onto your wallet and verify everything that they say...get it in writing.

Room tip: Don't trust the desk, verify everything

Best Trip of the Year, Every Year

Old school ranch with western charm and beauty. Jackets required at dinner sets the scene of a time gone by. The food is always excellent, in fact, we've never experienced anything mediocre on the breakfast or dinner menu. And the service is what you would expect. Horseback riding is just the beginning- both daily and after dinner activities help to keep the family having fun all day long without the need for television or devices. Excellent golf course and tennis/pickleball program. Just can't imagine a better way to spend one week of every year.

BBQ Bootcamp!!

This was our second trip to Alisal and once again, we loved it! This time we enjoyed the BBQ Bootcamp, which was fabulous. The chefs were so talented and fun, and the food was so delicious! This trip, my husband and I also enjoyed playing golf at the River course. While I am not a golfer, I enjoyed the beauty of the area. Going back to Alisal next year but this time we are bringing our grandkids to enjoy all that Alisal has to offer!
