My husband surprised my daughter and me with a post-graduation (college) celebratory dinner at the Miro restaurant. The setting is gorgeous with fresh flowers everywhere. The courtyard entrance with huge fountain is overwhelming. Every employee from the complimentary parking valet to the Miro waitstaff was courteous, warm, and helpful. We had the Prix Fixe 4-course meal which included fresh salmon... More

What a great resort. Service is outstanding. Rooms are outstanding. Pools are outstanding. Coastline is outstanding. Everything was outstanding during our stay (even the complimentary smores at the campfire on Friday night)! I can't recommend highly enough.

I had the opportunity to stay at the Bacara with my sister for a Mother’s day/Birthday weekend celebration and had the most wonderful experience. Once you walk into the lobby, you know you are somewhere special. The property and location are stunning and the employees were accommodating, attentive, and provided excellent service. Everywhere I went, I was greeted warmly by... More

My company recently awarded top performers with an all-expenses-paid trip to Santa Barbara and all 200+ of us stayed at Bacara. I love tropical plants and I was thrilled with the beauty of the gardens and grounds. As I walked around it really felt like I had been transported to some exotic locale. We will not soon forget standing outside... More

All of the employees were warm and welcoming to us and very helpful. We dined at the... More

Although we only live an hour away we find Bacara very relaxing and a great get away. Our children love the pools and beach. Personally I love the spa. I had a great workout then a nice massage before crawling back to the room for movie nite and room service for dinner. Heaven!!! http://youtu.be/QP8ji70WFT0

Beautiful grounds, nice rooms, but horrible service. And don't get a basement room, smells of mildew. Spa was ok

As a long time Santa Barbara resident and local professional, I can honestly say that the Bacara offers the best accommodations and overall experience hands down. The tranquil atmosphere, impeccable service, and beautiful grounds truly makes this resort a 5-star location. I congratulate management and employees on their successful transformation and business plan for this amazing hotel!!! -JS

The hotel is gorgeous and the grounds are outstanding. I was thoroughly excited for my weekend. Unfortunately, I was dissapointed in the service and food. I ate at the bar, Spa Cafe and room service. Each time I left my plates untouched and ended up in my room eating chips. This is the only resort I've ever visited in which... More
