Ty Warner (owner) has closed this property and refused to pay any of his 250+ employees severance of any kind! Know before you go! While I love this property I refuse to spend my hard earned money ever again at a site where a man worth 2 billion cares more about his obscene wealth than the basic needs of his workers. Updated: Warner is now facing a civil suit brought by his entire former staff of 450 employees for $6 million in unpaid severance.

If you want to go somewhere to be seen or people watch this place is great. The views of the ocean are terrific. However if you are interested in good food and service, take a pass. After we ordered our first course we finally had to catch a passing waiter as ours hadn't returned in over 25 minutes. The drink pours are incredibly small! When I asked, the server announced loudly that they were 1 ounce pours! The salad was way over dressed when I asked for very light dressing. Lastly I can recognize an 8oz steak and this was not even close! We won't be back!

Still closed since 2020. Nothing is open. Obviously there are some fake reviews on here. They did just announce that they will re-open fall of 2024.

I have stayed here few times since 2014.. The valet service is top notch and please be prepared to walk ...and this property to find your suite.. The grounds are very lush with plants,bushes,hedges and trees. The rooms are lovely and the beds are comfortable to sleep in. The bathrooms are very worldly ..tiles and plenty of towels. The property is near the beach..and it gets cold at night... I most certainly recommend this location should you visit the area on business or personal ..

This place is absolutely incredible. The resort and rooms are beautiful! The staff were wonderful and paid attention to every detail. We felt very taken care of here. We also ordered the pasta via room service and man who brought it to us set up the whole meal on the table in our room. We had the tomato and basil pasta for this meal and it was one of the best pasta dishes I have had. We also tried the restaurant which had amazing food and service as well. Santa Barbara is a beautiful place as well. This is definitely one of the best places to stay along the coast.

Great all around . .rooms, dining, spa, restaurant and awesome service!! I highly recommend the Four Seasons Resort - The Biltmore in Monticito. AND the ocean/beach is just steps away. The grounds are Gorgeous!

Took my beanie boo there it had a time of its lifetime even went for a swim in the pool and a nice gin and tonic loved the experience even gave it some caviar

I have not visited a place more beautiful than Santa Barbara. We enjoyed our time at the Four seasons very much. The view behind the resort is the mountains and the ocean is right across the street. We stayed in one of the bungalows. Very cute and comfortable. Beds are a big thing for me. This one was extremely comfortable. The bathroom was extremely large and there was a dressing room. The staff was so friendly. We were greeted by everyone. The maid service was detailed, my shoes were lined up, the sweater on the chair was folded, our chargers were untangled. The food was amazing, although the cost was a shock for those of us coming from the Midwest. We did not utilize the Tydes restaurant /club across the street but those with us said it was beautiful. The only thing I would caution is to bring your own shampoo and body wash. We didn't because we were flying in and I regretted it. I strongly disliked the scent of the toiletries at the resort.

I've been wanting to go there for quite some time, so we finally went for a very special occasion. My pasta was bland. Didn't taste like anything. Had to add salt to it. Even my son had a bite. He didn't care for it. My guests liked their dishes. My dessert was great.

This is a beautiful resort that I didn't get to spend nearly enough time in. I spent the day/night of my 35th birthday here on a solo gal's road trip up the PCH from San Diego to San Francisco. I was pampered from arrival - my room wasn't ready so I had snacks and a salad at the bar outside on the patio where I was given a birthday cake at the end of the meal. The room still wasn't ready so I was upgraded to a suite for my birthday (complimentary upgrade) and was shown to a beautiful large room with a large bedroom, huge bathroom with a steam shower and a living room on the ground flood that had glass windows and doors opening to the inner garden. The resort is stunning and well-kept and right on the beach. There is a beautiful club with a pool and other amenities. The valet are all friendly and suggested a few hikes I should try (Lizard's Mouth for one) and always spoiled me with bottled water and even a small flashlight for a nighttime walk to the beach so I didn't trip! When I returned to my room, another birthday cake and a card wishing me a happy birthday from the hotel manager and my travel agent. How nice. I had breakfast the following morning in the main dining area from their well appointed buffet and whisked off to my next destination. Short and sweet but a beautiful hotel I hope to visit again. It's located on a one lane street right off the 101 across from the Pacific Ocean and is very quiet. It's a short drive to shopping and into the city of Santa Barbara, or you can choose to take a scenic drive up into the mountains only about 20-30 minutes away.

Wonderful place to stay. Standard setting for a great hotel experience. Staff charming and service attentive but relaxed. Rooms pin perfect with lovely details and touches. Loved the story of the buildings and resort. Expensive but didn't resent a dollar of it (although we were very lucky to get a room upgrade to a bungalow). If you can make it part of your trip.

Great Stay! Miles in reservations was the best, he took interest in getting me into the best most affordable accommodations for my family and even called me back twice to ensure that it was all ready for us. The grounds, food, rooms and service were all top notch. Jorge in the spa was so warm and attentive and eager to make sure that our short visit there was perfect. Truly an amazing experience!

Book a private villa, I loved the Odel suite, 2 rooms with fireplace and a private garden patio. They can give you garden room service also a plus.

I listened to puttin on the ritz by taco and did a fast spin move. I fell to the floor and broke my nose in front of Todd Zellerman!!! My High School Bully from 54 years ago!!!
