Reviews for The Ritz-Carlton Bacara, Santa Barbara

Excellent (It’s a Ritz)

Reviewed 1 day ago

The Ritz Carlton Bacara is a beautiful resort with friendly customer focused employees. The food was excellent - the breakfast buffet was outstanding! The entire property was clean & very well maintained. We appreciated the complimentary E-bikes.

Can’t say enough wonderful things about our experience. From the start we were greeted by the friendly valet staff. Sam checked us in and he made us feel so welcomed and at home. Everyone was absolutely friendly and warm. We were here celebrating our anniversary and so glad we have been doing this now for the past few years. This lovely resort will remain an annual tradition. Their grounds are beautifully maintained and service is impeccable.

An amazing experience

This year, we decided to celebrate our wedding anniversary with our two sons at the Ritz Santa Barbara. We came at the Ritz last year and our experience was average. Upon arrival I was not given the room type I expected. Mr Dante Gonzalez from the Ritz took care of me….WOW, he over exceeded our expectations. I wish every Ritz had someone like him, professional, polite and making you feel he cares and guess what….he does! Thank you Dante

Not worth the cost. When you check into a Ritz Carlton you expect at least a greeting and politeness. However, at check in all I got was show me your ID by someone who I could barely understand. Since I had 2 rooms I also gave her my husband’s ID but she said she didn’t need it and then 1 minute later asked me for the ID. Incompetence at the hotel check in.
