Wow , I was blown away but this resort. From views, to friendly and helpful staff, to cleanliness of the room. Had massage as well and absolutely loved it. The gourmet meals were so delicious and to my surprise they were all included in your stay, breakfast, lunch and dinner. If you are looking for a quiet romantic getaway this place is a must! I will definitely come back. I don’t usually write reviews but i was so impressed buy this hotel. Every detail was taught through. Loved it ♥️

The property is in an incredible setting. The facility itself is beautiful. It is, however, very expensive. The biggest drawback is the food. Very uneven in quality. Breakfasts are good, other food is mediocre. In spite of that, I had an amazing time.

Much needed: kinks need to be worked out
Check in took FOREVER. Instructions for reception were unclear. Our room wasn’t ready at check in time, and when we received our key cards, they didn’t work! The key cards would deactivate multiple times during our stay as well, and replacements were needed each time. Stay here for the stunning environment and views, but expect some operational/management issues.

Everything was perfect! The only thing my wife and I can think of is:
For the cost of staying at Ventana, plus the Entertainment fee, the food should have been free! No joke!

Amazing property. Needs better device.
The resort is gorgeous. The staff very friendly. But they are short staffed. Calls to room service always got an answering machine. One bartender for full bar waiting on drinks, etc. Service was not at the level you expect for such a top resort.

Check in was complicated as the person operating the gate didn't recognize my name and only after buzzing twice were we allowed in. Property is beautiful but room did not have a fireplace as described and we could hear our neighbors making "noises" (yuck!). The nature walk with Brian is a must! He is a great host and this hike followed by a nice stay in the hot tub was highlight.

So, I don’t like crabby reviewers who nitpick on smaller issues etc. I read the reviews on ventana and they were mixed but I booked anyway. Here’s the deal. The area is expensive. I don’t generally spend 1100 a night on a hotel so when I do, I expect it to be top notch. This was not. I would have paid 500-600 a night no problem and felt like I got my money’s worth. It has beautiful views, nice pools, the room was good. The spa was really a check in place more than a spa. The messages were outdoors and excellent (at 200/piece plus tip).
