An unforgettable treat for a 60th birthday. Loved everything about it from the views, to the room, to the pools, to the quiet and rustically elegant ambiance. The massages were amazing as was the yoga and the high quality amenities. The food was healthy and fresh. Yes it was expensive but a treat to savor.

Quality of the food was very disappointing. The mushroom & steak main meals were particularly uninteresting , bordering on bad. The waiter made several mistakes on the order, including an incorrect drink & proceeded to charge for it. The beer can had a puncture in it & did not offer to change it. One of our mains served was incorrect. The hamburgers were the star of the show. The view is truly exceptional. The valet charged the car for us without asking & was a lovely touch - thank you. Overall very disappointing lunch & really not worth the price.

Sono appena stato al Post Ranch Inn e devo dire che la struttura è davvero bellissima. La camera era stupenda e il personale alla reception estremamente cordiale e disponibile. In particolare, voglio ringraziare il ragazzo che ci ha gentilmente avvisati della pressione bassa di una ruota dell’auto e si è premurato di sistemarla subito. Un gesto molto apprezzato! Purtroppo, devo segnalare alcune note negative, soprattutto per quanto riguarda il ristorante. Pur non essendo un esperto di cucina, ho trovato i piatti poco curati e per nulla raffinati. Ho ordinato dei gamberi come antipasto e delle falafel come secondo: nulla di eccezionale. Inoltre, ho chiesto dell’olio che mi è stato portato solo dopo 15 minuti. La colazione è stata un’altra esperienza deludente. La ragazza che ci ha serviti sembrava del tutto svogliata, con un atteggiamento poco professionale. Abbiamo chiesto del pane tostato, ma si è dimenticata di portarci i piattini. Continuava inoltre a farci fretta dicendo che la colazione stava per terminare e che la cucina stava chiudendo. Senza che lo chiedessimo, ci ha portato subito il conto, facendoci sentire ospiti indesiderati. Vorrei anche segnalare un’area sotto al ristorante da cui si può godere di una vista splendida sul panorama e sul tramonto. Tuttavia, proprio lì sono visibili dei macchinari per la depurazione e vari tubi a vista, che rovinano l’atmosfera. A mio avviso, non sarebbe opportuno far accedere le persone in quella zona, oppure bisognerebbe almeno mascherare visivamente quelle strutture tecniche. Soprattutto considerando i prezzi elevati, ci si aspetterebbe un livello di servizio e qualità decisamente superiore. Peccato, perché il posto ha un grande potenziale, ma alcuni dettagli – in particolare la ristorazione e la gestione dell’esperienza complessiva – hanno deluso le mie aspettative. Non credo che ci tornerò.

The highlight of our trip up the coast. It was every and even more than what we expected. From the minute we got there we felt special. The bell service showed us around the property so we felt comfortable walking around. In the morning I took a hike then yoga, then breakfast. I felt refreshed. Thank you post ranch for such wonderful service

It's an amazing place like no other. Well worth the effort to get there from CO. We will certainly be returning. My wife was literally crying sitting on the patio overcome with happiness. No way to compare this place with any others we've stayed at - jaw droppingly beautiful and excellent staff and service.
