Riviera Bliss What a gorgeous place. Amazing service and the setting is spectacular. The included food is decadent and delicious. Caviar and seafood towers at every meal if you want it. The pool feels like St. Tropez. The cottage is beautifully decorated and very private. You pay dearly for this experience but if you can do it for a very special occasion, it’s memorable.

Outstanding Hideaway in the beautiful Monetico Hills. 100% Outstanding. The grounds, the cottages, the food, the very fine staff and service... all 100%. Simply "heaven on earth" Yes indeed! Sounds like I own the place but not the case, just a traveler that respects what hard work and great management and staff are capable of.

The best hotel in California. Period. Our 3rd stay at SYR and, as usual, we have no absolutely no complaints. Everything was perfect. Along with a beautiful cottage and stunning grounds, they have the best hotel restaurant we've ever dined at. The staff were all very friendly, competent and completely professional.

Very bad experience We have stayed at the San Ysidro Ranch many times and have always had an excellent experience. But our last stay was ruined. While in the Citrus Cottage (which is charming), the bathroom toilet handle fell off. Upon calling the desk we were told no maintenance was available and the only recourse was to use the front desk public restroom until the next morning when maintenance would arrive. After escorting my wife to the reception desk (in the middle of the night) and camping out in the library in the early hours of the morning, we were given the option to use the restroom facility at any adjacent unoccupied cottage. We then returned to our cottage for what was left of the night. We checked out the next morning. We were never offered an apology for our inconvenience, never discounted the full price for our stay, and never heard from management after documenting the customer satisfaction survey on our experience. This is unacceptable for a hotel that represents itself as a premium managed hotel. What a shame.

EXCELLENT AFTERNOON TEA Tucked away in the hills above Montecito, SYR is a magical place for a special occasion. When the gentlemen who appeared at a guardhouse along the lane and ask our business we knew we were entering a different world. We were directed to our stunning seats overlooking a beautiful rose garden and began our birthday afternoon tea. We chose to begin with oysters and champagne then proceeded to order our choice of tea from a menu. A three tiered serving dish was later presented with finger sandwiches on one tier then two levels of sweet morsels. Pasquel and Luis were busy continuously bringing top up pots of hot water and checking on us. With an Australian as the birthday lady, the only suggestion for improving could be proper English scones with fresh whipped cream and raspberry preserves. The chef here has their own version of scones with a lemon curd. Very good but not authentic. Further the servers could really enhance the experience with a brief history of the property which we later researched. Grand story. A day to remember.
