Post Ranch Inn

We enjoyed such an amazing stay at the Post Ranch Inn this past weekend. On top of being an incredible setting with breathtaking views, the service we experienced was extraordinary. Everyone we encountered—Krystal who checked us in at reception, Sergio who drove us to our accommodation (the stunning L&B Post room), Reylon who presides over your remarkable kitchen and who led our garden tour, Antonio and his fascinating falconry experience, and Phil, with whom we chatted in the Mercantile—was smiling, kind, and accommodating. A special shoutout to the outstanding restaurant/wine staff, including Germaine, Todd, Eric, Hector, (and another server whose name I can’t recall), who all radiated gracious, friendly vibes and served up some of the most exquisite food and wine I’ve ever had. Additional elements that made our stay extra-special: the impeccable housekeeping, the serenity of the Med and Jade Pools, the beautifully maintained trails…I can’t say enough!

We had the best elopement experience at The Post Ranch Inn. From the planning to the actual day everything was just was we wanted! Derek made our day run so smoothly and made it a day we will never forget! We couldn’t ask for a more beautiful place to say “I Do!” 10/10 recommend for any special occasion or just a relaxing getaway from everyday life.

The tranquil Beauty of Post Ranch Inn, showcases the heart of Big Sur. The Natural and well maintained property feels welcoming and safe. It is a very nurturing place to be for a retreat, special occasion or celebration. Staff is very welcoming and highly professional.

It was our first time staying at Post Ranch Inn, and it was truly an amazing experience! The resort is stunning, and the staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming, making us feel right at home. I would definitely recommend visiting this beautiful place. One highlight was that everything in the minibar was complimentary, which was a wonderful touch and made our stay even more enjoyable. The only reason I’m giving 4 out of 5 stars is that we couldn’t enjoy breakfast in the main restaurant due to renovations. At this premium price point, I believe they should have arranged an alternative breakfast option that offered an equally amazing experience. Overall, it was a fantastic stay, and we look forward to returning once the renovations are complete!

This review is LONG overdue, as I am now here on my 3rd stay over Christmas Eve at the Post Ranch Inn; and, each time I just can't wait to return again. This is an exceptionally special place that I dreamed of visiting for 10 years before finally making it here - and it more than exceeded my expectations. The Ocean House I stayed in my 1st time was so beautiful that I was moved to tears (that happened again today, when I entered the Cliff House!). My 2nd stay was in the Pacific Suite which was also stunning. Here, there is unmatched ambience: the property itself claims some of the most spectacular Big Sur coastline, and they incorporate thoughtful and elegant architecture that cohesively embraces its natural surroundings. The rooms are designed and positioned to perfectly showcase jaw-dropping views. I love coming here for solo getaways to celebrate milestones or take much needed time for myself to recharge. I can gaze endlessly at the horizon and watch "nature's color show" as the sea and sky change throughout the day. It's breathtakingly beautiful. I came for Christmas last year and there is nothing like waking up to a sunrise view of the expansion Pacific Ocean. It was so memorable that I have made it a tradition that I hope to continue for years to come. A big warm thank you to DJ, Chin, Cindy, and the entire team at PR who each play a part in creating a wonderful experience every time I come. PR has come to feel like a home away from home, with heavenly views that celebrate the unique beauty and magic of Big Sur. A special shoutout in particular to DJ who I met on my 1st stay and is the absolute best! He always goes above and beyond to help me pick the perfect room and set me up for a memorable stay, from extra little touches to personalized recommendations on how to spend my time, and checking in on me in a truly authentic and caring manner. His dedication to his guests and his team is amazing, and I can't thank him enough for all he's done!

Post Ranch Inn is an amazing place! Everywhere you go, you are surrounded by beauty, comfort, and peace. It is the perfect place to detach from the rat race! We especially loved hiking through the redwood forest on the property. We also couldn't get enough of the view from the restaurant, Sierra Mar. We appreciated that the staff kept our room stocked with firewood - and we kept the fire going each evening. I love the sustainability efforts at Post Ranch, too. It was a beautiful, relaxing vacation. Just what we needed - in a place of unimaginable beauty!
