Practically Perfect!

This hotel is absolutely beautiful. I would recommend staying here without a doubt. The service is second to none, everyone was beyond helpful and accommodating. The only thing that I would suggest is eating elsewhere. We went to the affiliate restaurant, Tydes, and the food was so salty it was almost inedible. Our whole party made the same comment. Other than that, I will definitely plan on returning. I can't tell you how beautiful the peoperty is, the pictures can't begin to do it justice. Stay here!!

Excellent hotel with the most amazing service - the best I’ve ever had!! So so impressed. The hotel is A perfect location, overlooking the water. Restaurant is great, rooms are nice and larger than normal (although if you get two beds they’re only doubles not queens) and the spa was great! Can’t express how pleased I was with our stay!!

My husband and I stayed for 3 nights and 4 days to celebrate our wedding anniversary . We also had reserved a room for our adult daughter , her girlfriend and their 2 dogs . Although the resort is expensive - it is well worth it . The grounds are spectacular . Well maintained and very lush . The rooms were immaculate and they had doggie beds for the puppies with play toys , bowls and treats . They surprised us with complimentary Prosecco and lovely chocolates when we arrived . The food at the restaurants was excellent and the Sunday brunch is incredible . Well worth the price . The staff and concierge could not have been more helpful . They were attendant to every need . I would highly recommend and definitely go back .

So happy and helpful like it’s the best job they have ever had. It’s makes your stay so much more pleasant and enjoyable. The food was out of this world delicious.

one child who was suppose to check in became ill so we did not make the reservation. I’m supremely disappointed in Expedia and Four Seasons for being so unaccomodating, and I purposely did not rebook the trip because the last thing I’m going to do is arbitrarily pick another weekend to go when there is a sick child to care for and vacationing is the last thing on my mind. Shame on Four Seasons and Expedia.

Beware - Food poisoning

I got food poisoning from Bella Vista for lunch which ruined my trip to SB as I couldn’t do anything that we had planned. When I told the hotel about my situation on Sunday morning, they just said sorry and that they had to make a report. That’s it. I couldn’t believe that they didn’t try to make it up to me or anything so on my way out I told the hotel how disappointed I was about my situation and how they could care less that I got food poisoning and then they comped me 1 buffet. You spend $800/900 on a hotel night there, $150 for lunch which gave me food poisoning and I had to tell them to take care of me. What a disappointment. I have never been treated like this at any Four Seasons, let alone any hotel. Never staying here again. Wow.

I do have to say though, the front desk guy Payton and the waiter Ricardo were amazing and very personable and made my birthday weekend enjoyable. If it wasn’t for them, I would be a lot more pissed.

The hotel is quiet and we loved the fact that the property accommodate dogs for free. We’ll come back just for this!
We enjoyed tremendously having breakfast in our room and the massages at the spa were outstanding.
Service at Ty and Coral cafe was very good. We particularly enjoyed the happy hour at Ty, it was delicious. Unfortunately we couldn’t enjoy dinner at Bella vista since it’s close on Monday and Tuesday.
The only downside of our stay was the poor attitude of the spa receptionist. She was not very friendly with my husband when we came to check in. We wanted to use the gym before our treatment but she didn’t want us to access the fitness room because she thought we were not guests at the hotel. It was rude and unpleasant.
Beside we didn’t care much about the interior decoration of the bar. It is disappointing to see such a beautiful hotel without the appropriate decor in the bar area. We expected something less eclectic and more classic to go along with the rest of the hotel.

Beautiful grounds, upon arrival treated like very well but in truth we couldn't wait to get out of there. We could hear the laundry facilities, the train, and every other word that the people in the adjoining room (831) said, including that the security guard told them we had called to complain about the noise twice at 1:15 am and again at 1:45am so then we got to hear ssshhhing on top of the party noise for another 45 minutes or so. Why the hotel didn't invite them to party somewhere away from guest rooms I have no idea. Only a card table in the closet if you got room service, you had to wait while they unfolded table and then regular maid service didn't remove breakfast materials you had to make an extra call to have it removed. We did have a lovely dinner at Buena Vista. But little details were missing to make it seem like a first class resort (They didn't even ask if we had enjoyed our stay when we checked out).

We've been visiting this property every summer for over 10 years - rooms are expensive, but its a family tradition - and a beautiful hotel. A/C not working at all - when you're paying over $800+/night for a hotel room, everything needs to be functioning properly. The hot tub at the Coral Casino was incredibly dirty and cloudy - (actually disgusting). Chair covers at Coral Casino were scarce. Still a favorite place, but things were lacking this trip. I remember bikes being complimentary, but now $15/hour to rent. The ball machine (tennis) seems to always be broken. Improvements can certainly be made. No A/C is unacceptable - and the front desk barely offered an apology.

Fabulously lush, but not ideal for sun worshippers

We adore Four Seasons and stay with them whenever we can. This is a gorgeous looking hotel - fabulously lush and green - but limited sunbathing facilities unless you pay $175 per person to use the private club across the road. Also, although there is beach access, high tides mean that there are no sunbeds there to use either. Restaurant was lovely and the open fires a great touch. Great for a short stay but not for a sunshine vacation.

The Amazing Biltmore

Great service and comfort at The Biltmore. It's a bit off the beaten path (relative to \"downtown\" Santa Barbara, but that is a mere quibble. It's a beautiful property with amazing views. The rooms are spacious and luxurious. The restaurants were quite good, albeit very expensive. Another amazing thing about the Santa Barbara area was how extensive their bike paths were. We rode for miles and miles around the area and rarely had to encounter traffic; even when we did, the drivers were remarkably respectful for bikers.

nickle and dime - not worth the $

the hotel is nice, beds nice, big screen tv in room is nice. For the money, I just felt the hotel seemed to nickle and dime me from the $20 for self parking, which was not close to our room, to having to tip every body for everything from ice to anything needed in the room. The staff was friendly and professional and the place is nice but it's not within walking distance of anything but the beach so it's quiet and a bit secluded. the restaurant was good but tough to pay the prices at the bar. All in all, the place is nice but not worth the money for me. Oh, and you better like hearing dogs and children because they are everywhere.

Lastly, express checkout was a joke. As long as you don't care what your bill is, I guess it could work ok. But I had to call the front desk 4 times before I finally could get an answer. I took over 45 minutes trying to get that done -- hope checking out at the front desk was slower?

My Family of Seven Had an Amazing Weekend!

We had the Jungle Junior Suite w/a pool view (Rm448). Great room location to the self parking and tennis courts. Also, simple walk to the Olympic pool/club & beach across the street. We felt like we were in Maui. These huge estate was so lush and green. The Ty Lounge was a cool place to eat/drink inside or out. We would have cocktails and apps here, then we'd hit State St restaurants in town for dinner and walking.
We had a great experience and would definitely come back for another relaxing weekender. The staff was great, too; from parking valet, front desk to everyone else. The bungalows looked really cool as an alternative room type. It was worth the money, and I didn't experience any of the negative comments listed by other guests (keep in mind they're a select few anyways). So, treat yourself to a nice weekend getaway!

Utterly overpriced

Even at half the price, it would be overpriced. Additionally they claim that the club across the street is part of the offering - turns out it isn't, it's a private club, that charges extra for entrance. When you're already paying +USD 1,000, you don't expect to be charged for WiFi - and a very poor connection as well.

First class all the way...except....

We had a nice upgrade for our honeymoon and wanted to stay one extra night. The room was open, but they would not be able to give me the rate I paid for the room I booked, but would have to pay the rate for the room we were in which was over $200 more. I told them forget about it and that it sounded a little little like a gimmick...upgrade you then sock it to you. So they decided to lose $550 because they wanted $750...poor business! Other then that, the place was great!!!!

Very beautiful hotel close to the beach.

Great service and staff that were there to accommodate anything that we needed. The spa service was amazing and the valets helped us with planning several outings.

The Location / Rooms / Staff / the best!

The staff is simply amazing and they worked very hard to help in any way. From the Valet to Concierge to the Front Desk.Whatever I need they jumped on it right away. They get a 100 out of 100

The Rooms super well maintained, The Beds and Pillows were amazing.

The Grounds are so beautiful that a simple walk to front desk was relaxing and peaceful.

Impeccable service, food. The 1927 built hotel Spanish Mediterranean style just feels so right. And the lush grounds with palms everywhere were love at first sight. The pool staff deserve an honorable mention.

The Four Seasons Biltmore is magnificent!

I couldn't have been happier about our post wedding stay at this landmark hotel. From the moment we arrived, the staff was fabulously friendly and charming. We were treated with tremendous kindness at every step of our two day stay. The facility is exquisite, every detail attended to. Nothing here is inexpensive, but if you're going to splurge, do it here! It's beyond beautiful, and the staff treats you like you're royalty. My only hope is that their food improves a bit. Being from the Northern Cal food Mecca of Berkeley, my dining standards were not met. Nothing was horrible, but nothing was amazing like everything else here.

Family Trip along the coast of CA

Delightful stay at a terrific hotel. Dining was so good on the patio, we ate at the facility for ALL three nights of our visit. Fire pits and heaters and a view of the ocean, stars and moon, made the outdoor dining a special treat!

Best place to stay in SB

Amazing....Beautiful property, location. Staff was superior. Room was so clean and gorgeous and I am a germaphobe. You eased my mind.

Plus we got to take our dog, who was well behaved. That was awesome. I will be back later this year. I am also telling everyone to stay here.

This hotel was amazingly beautiful! The terrace is a beautiful place for breakfast or dinner to watch the sunset with an amazing Pacific Ocean view. Friendly, efficient staff. There is also a walking/biking trail right out front that you can take all the way in to Santa Barbara! The train tracks run close to the property, but we kind of liked hearing the rumble and whistle and it was never too early or too late. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay!
I even accidentally left a pair of diamond earrings that they located and sent to me! Would definitely recommend!

A Four Seasons Classic

I have stayed here 3 times over the past 25 years. The property continues to be outstanding. Had some service challenges however. Room and breakfast dishes were not cleaned until my second request at 4 pm. Not what I would expect at this price or traditionally from the Four Seasons. Room was not ready until after 4 pm on check-in. I worry that the Four Seasons is very focused on revenue while skimping on staff. That is not how the brand was built. This was the 2nd Four Seasons property we stayed at on this trip.
