Four Seasons Resort The Biltmore Santa Barbara

My husband and I stayed over a week in the Odell Bungalow. Used the gas fp in February and had service al fresco on our private patio. It was so quiet I didn’t ever see the main building. Alternative gated routes in/out were great for our stay. Lovely gardens. Food was great at the restaurant and viewing the ocean was nice. The staff was nice when I checked out and asked if I could purchase the French matelassé when leaving and they obliged. I’d recommend anyone wanting vip away from the hotel to ask for the Odell villa.

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!

I was looking for a great hotel for future stays

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.

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.
