My wife and I drove past this place 5 years ago, we never thought we would be able to stay here but here we are 5 years later staying in the beautiful Peace room. To say this property is breathtaking is an understatement, having a room right on the ocean front is so so amazing. The staff is also so amazing, especially our driver taking us to our room, you could tell he truly loved working here and knew a ton about the property. Everything about this property is beyond luxurious. Even had some Lexus cars to drive around. Highly recommend this place for a weekend getaway. Worth every penny

I honestly expected a world-class experience at Post Ranch Inn, but my stay was far from it. For the extremely high price, the overall quality felt shockingly low.

The room was not properly prepared, with cleanliness issues that should never happen at a luxury resort. Basic amenities felt outdated, and several small details—like worn furniture and malfunctioning switches—made the room feel neglected.

Service was another major disappointment. Staff responses were slow, and at times it felt like no one really cared about resolving issues. When you’re paying premium rates, you expect quick, attentive, and genuinely warm service. Unfortunately, that wasn’t the case.

Dining also fell short. The food was beautifully presented but lacked flavor, and portions were surprisingly small for the price. To make it worse, the wait time between courses felt excessive.

The location and views are stunning, but that alone doesn’t justify the cost when everything else feels below standard.

Overall, my experience did not match the luxury reputation or price tag. I left feeling frustrated and deeply disappointed. I will not be returning, and I cannot recommend Post Ranch Inn based on this visit.

I recently completed a two-night stay at the Post Ranch Inn, and I must express my profound disappointment. Considering the resort's premium price and renowned reputation, the experience was shockingly far below what is expected of a luxury property.

From the moment of arrival, the hospitality felt cold and unwelcoming. The staff seemed entirely disinterested, unhelpful, and frankly, unbothered about ensuring a positive guest experience. For a hotel positioned as a world-class luxury getaway, this level of service is simply unacceptable.

Throughout my stay, I was met with poor communication, slow service, and a distinct lack of attention to basic guest needs. Every request felt like an inconvenience to the staff. Instead of fostering a comfortable and relaxing environment, the overall atmosphere was dismissive and careless.

Post Ranch Inn markets itself as a peaceful, premium retreat. What I experienced was the exact opposite. For the high price paid, the value was drastically low, and the service did not come close to matching the advertised luxury claim.

I rarely write negative feedback, but this stay was so disappointing that I felt compelled to share. I sincerely hope management takes these critical issues seriously. As it stands, I cannot recommend this hotel to anyone seeking genuine hospitality, quality service, or comfort that justifies the astronomical cost.

The ultimate luxurious getaway. We came for a long weekend, you just can’t beat the views here, it’s so majestic and the smell is so amazing too, I wish they could make a candle of woods and sea.
The service is as 5 star as it gets, they really make you feel like you are their most special guest. Food is amazing! Wine, incredible and chosen for each course.
We slept so well too, can’t wait to go back!

The Post Ranch Inn property is as lovely as you imagine. However, if you feel that something a hotel should provide is a quiet place to sleep, then avoid the Coast House rooms. The rooms themselves are beautiful, but they are built like Holiday Inns from the 1970s - there is NO sound deadening between the rooms. My wife and I were woken up late at night and early in the morning on each night of our stay, and not because our neighbors were rowdy. We may as well have shared a room with them. Guests should expect near perfection at Post Ranch prices. This is far from it.
