Relaxing and Refreshing

I had the most relaxing experience in the indoor heated saltwater pool and hot tub nestled inside a beautiful greenhouse. It was like a serene retreat, perfect for unwinding after a long day. The pool area had a lovely atmosphere that made it easy to forget the outside world and just focus on refreshing my mind and body. I will definitely return to enjoy this rejuvenating facility again!

Delicious Vegan Dining

I was blown away by the creative cuisine offered at Ravens, the on-site restaurant. The meals were not only delightful but featured many ingredients grown right on the property. I particularly loved the florentine benedict breakfast with vegan hollandaise—absolutely delicious! It was refreshing to see plant-based options that didn't compromise on flavor.

Cozy and Comfortable

Our room was incredibly cozy and featured a wood-burning stove that created a lovely ambiance on chilly evenings. The private balcony had stunning views of the surrounding gardens and ocean, and it was a perfect spot to enjoy morning coffee and the tranquil atmosphere. I appreciated the attention to comfort and detail provided in the room.

The resort is nestled in a beautiful area with serene grounds and views. The rooms are cozy, featuring wood-burning fireplaces, but the dining experience left much to be desired and the service was inconsistent. While the property and amenities are lovely, the overall impression was tainted by subpar food and service issues, especially considering the high price point.

Our stay at the Stanford Inn was absolutely magical. Nestled on a hillside, the views of the Pacific Ocean are stunning, and the gardens are a true labor of love. The rooms were comfortable with nice amenities, but I found them slightly dated in decor. Dining at the Ravens restaurant was an exceptional experience, particularly for someone with a plant-based lifestyle, although anyone can appreciate the delicious offerings. Overall, a delightful escape where we felt incredibly relaxed.
