"The room is great given the price range. It was big, clean and comfortable except blankets could be more cleaner. Also it would perfect if they were one or two bottles of water in the fridge. Other than that, the pool looked clean, outdoor areas were very organized, clean and welcoming. My wife and I enjoyed staying there except the small issues mentioned above. Thank you!"

Loews Ventana Canyon Resort

10/10 Excellent
"Lovely stay! Memorable features of personal importance (perhaps not important to all): well-maintained room, gorgeous views, Ventana waterfall, EXTREMELY comfortable bedding, massive soaking bathtub/shower, cozy & luxurious bathrobes, dark sky community (able to spot many constellations with a mobile phone app), warm and friendly staff, room service accommodations of specific dining requests (and a gracious special occasion treat), and fabulous onsite restaurants. There are many more amazing amenities for a variety of visitors. Small items I would have loved: a bedside alarm clock; a requested microwave; a welcoming note or gesture acknowledging a special occasion; a little better quality of K-Cup coffee pods; a large, buttery, French-style breakfast croissant vs. a couple of mini American-style ones; a stronger WiFi signal (the mountainous region may not allow for it, though.) All in all, a very pleasant experience. I would definitely recommend Loews Ventana Canyon Resort. Thank you!"

"Mostly good for an old building. I love the view from the patio. Carpet in room had a large wet spot. Hope it was from cleaning. Soap dispenser at sink was head high on the wall, not very convenient. Hot water in sink instantly way too hot, almost burned my hand. Food at the attached restaurant used to be better. Very limited menu."
