Frequently asked questions

Castro Room FAQs

See all FAQs →
What does the Castro Room at Post Ranch Inn look out on?

The Castro Room is an ocean-view room at a resort set on cliffs about 1,200 feet above the Pacific along Highway 1 in Big Sur. Guests at the inn are encouraged to watch for California condors from their rooms, and whales pass offshore at different times of year.

How big is the Castro Room and how is it laid out?

The room measures 1,350 sq. ft. A bedroom area flows into a private bathroom, and a private fireplace gives the room a calm, restorative feel.

What are the beds, and how many guests can stay in the Castro Room?

The room has 1 king bed with a pillowtop mattress and premium bedding. It sleeps 2 guests, and every room at Post Ranch Inn is limited to two people because each has a single king bed.

What is the bathroom like in the Castro Room?

The private bathroom has a deep soaking bathtub and a shower/bathtub combination. It is stocked with designer toiletries, bathrobes and slippers, and also has a hair dryer, towels and soap.

What is included with a stay in the Castro Room?

The rate includes daily breakfast (for overnight guests only), resort activities such as yoga, guided nature walks and garden tours, a stocked in-room minibar, valet or self-parking, access to the pools and fitness center, and use of the inn's Lexus vehicles. Post Ranch Inn charges no separate resort fee. Occupancy and tourism taxes are added to the rate.

What in-room comforts should I expect, and what is missing?

Expect free WiFi, a coffee and tea maker with an electric kettle, free bottled water, champagne service, an iPod dock, a tablet computer, electrical adapters, turndown service and limited-hours room service. In-room massage can also be arranged. Guestrooms at Post Ranch Inn have no televisions or alarm clocks, which suits the unplugged setting.

Is the Castro Room suitable for families or only for couples?

Post Ranch Inn is an adults-only retreat created for relaxing and nurturing relationships. The minimum age to check in is 18, and a two-night minimum stay applies. The Castro Room sleeps two on one king bed, so it suits couples and solo travelers best.

How do I get to Post Ranch Inn, and do I need a car?

The nearest airport is Monterey Peninsula Airport (MRY), about an hour's drive away. A rental car is considered essential in Big Sur, since rideshare apps are unreliable past Carmel and there is no meaningful public transport. Highway 1 can occasionally close because of landslides, so check road conditions before you drive.

What is there to do near the Castro Room without leaving the property?

On site you have Sierra Mar, the inn's Michelin Green Star restaurant, plus two heated cliffside basking pools and a lap pool. Pool and fitness center access is available around the clock. The Post Ranch Spa is open 10:00 am to 6:00 pm, and many treatments can be given in your suite. Pfeiffer Beach is about a 10-minute drive away.

6. Prices, fees, taxes & currency

Prices are shown in the currency indicated and include applicable taxes and fees unless stated otherwise; the total is displayed before you confirm.

Each rate carries its own cancellation policy, shown before you book (for example, non-refundable, or refundable up to a stated deadline). Refund eligibility and timing follow the policy attached to the rate you select. Service fees may be non-refundable.

If any provision is found unenforceable, the remaining provisions stay in effect. Our failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver. These Terms are the entire agreement between you and us regarding the site.
