Spa Hotels in Montecito

I was on a pre-Christmas road trip with my dogs and decided to book for Christmas Eve on way back to L.A. from Carmel and best decision. From the valets, to reception, to the porters everyone was so welcoming and helpful. We were upgraded through Amex to a single story one bedroom bungalow and it was just lovely. The dogs were welcomed with toys and beds and bandanas and water dishes. We loved having the beach right there and enjoyed multiple walks/runs on our short visit. Lunch at the beach bar was great and the weather was gorgeous., as was the Prix Fixe dinner at AMA that evening. The delivery of milk and cookies for Santa and carrots for the reindeer was such a cute touch, as were the Xmas chocolates and wreaths on all the doors. The decorations across the entire property and the carolers and snowmen making on Christmas Day were just really charming. Not to mention the bed was the most comfortable of any stay I’ve had and I can’t wait to come back to stay again. Thank you for a really special Xmas Eve for both myself and my pups!
