Calamigos Ranch

"Great location but that’s all they have to offer. We stayed there 3 nights and room hasn’t been cleaned once. We even asked multiple staff members for at least fresh towels but nope. The water pressure in the shower is pathetic. And worst of all is food and service at ranch cafe! Takes 40min to get coffee and 20 more min and 5 staff members to get sugar. Food arrives hours later cold and mixed up. Never order chicken there. It’s the whitest chicken ever. It’s like they never heard of spices! Won’t recommend to my worst enemy."

"Bella Vita Events (Event Visionaries led by Deborah James) had the honor of producing events over the last 10 years at the Calamigos Ranch. The venue has been expanding and is always trying to stay up to date, in order to provide the exceptional experiences to our clients. It is a pleasure to work there, and you have the choice in-between several rooms for your event. The Team is flexible and always willing to go the extra mile.

"Our recent stay at Calamigos was very disappointing. We stayed there with high expectations as the place came recommended. The service was consistently poor and severely delayed with staff members appearing inattentive and displaying a noticeable lack of care towards guests. It's disheartening when a basic expectation of attentiveness is not met. Moreover, the amenities in the room were shockingly under-furnished. The lack of essential items or their poor quality detracted significantly from the overall experience. It's regrettable that the hotel falls short in providing the level of comfort and service one anticipates. My stay was far from enjoyable, and I would strongly caution others considering this establishment. A notable exception was the Saloon Cafe. Ari there was awesome! Food at the Ranch Club/M Cafe was very good. But service again was sloppy."

"This is a beautiful magical place to get a break from the city. We arrived for a Friday night wedding and two hours into our stay decided to stay for the weekend. I think everything was amazing but the only reason I took one star off is the service at the pool and the beach were not good. We had to walk up every time to the server to ask for a drink or anything. When you are paying exorbitant prices I think the service needs to reflect that. The restaurant and the valet/drivers staff was excellent. Another note is that they add a flat 20% on top of everything for your stay and since the cheapest room is almost $1000 so this is a significant amount of money. They say it is cashless and tip less property but I would much rather at my own discretion be able to tip people that deserved to be tipped well. We will return as this place was very special. We will just be knowing what to expect this time."
