What is the bed setup, and how many guests does the room sleep?

What is the bathroom like?

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

Is the minibar really complimentary, and what else is included with the room?

Yes. The stocked in-room minibar is free, as is bottled water. Rates also include complimentary daily breakfast at Sierra Mar for overnight guests, resort activities such as daily yoga, guided nature walks and garden tours, valet or self-parking, WiFi, and use of the pools, the fitness center and the inn's Lexus vehicles. There is no separate resort fee.

Does the room have a television or other in-room entertainment?

Guestrooms at Post Ranch Inn do not have televisions or alarm clocks; the inn is designed for switching off. The Lower Mountain House offers an iPod dock and a tablet computer instead. It also has a fireplace, a coffee/tea maker with electric kettle, and free WiFi. Room service runs during limited hours.

Is the Lower Mountain House suitable for families or a longer stay?

It is made for couples. Post Ranch Inn is an adults-focused retreat with a minimum check-in age of 18, and each room is limited to two people. A two-night minimum stay applies, which suits the unhurried pace. Pets are not allowed, though trained service animals are welcome.

What are the pools and spa options for guests in this room?

Access to the pools and fitness center is included. The inn has two cliffside heated basking pools kept at about 104°F and a separate lap pool, with pool access around the clock. The Post Ranch Spa is open 10:00am to 6:00pm, and in-room massage can be arranged for the Lower Mountain House. Call (831) 667-2200 to book.

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

The inn is at 47900 Highway 1, Big Sur. A car is essential, because there is no meaningful public transit and Uber and Lyft are unreliable south of Carmel. Monterey Regional Airport is the nearest airport, about an hour's drive. Check Highway 1 conditions before you travel, since landslides occasionally close sections. Parking is complimentary.

What are check-in times and dining options during my stay?

Check-in is 4:00 p.m. and check-out is 12:00 noon. Breakfast at Sierra Mar is served daily from 7:30 to 10:30 AM for overnight guests. The restaurant also serves lunch from 12:00 to 3:00 pm and dinner from 5:30 to 9:00 pm. Dinner reservations are required, and the dress code is upscale casual.

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. Our price may include a service fee and may differ from the rate offered directly by the Supplier. Currency conversions, where shown, are estimates. Certain taxes or resort fees may be collected by the Supplier at the property.

7. Cancellations, changes & refunds

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. Failure to check in (“no-show”) may result in forfeiture of the amount paid, per the rate rules.

8. Your responsibilities

You are responsible for having valid identification and any required travel documents (such as a passport or visa), and for complying with the Supplier’s policies, including minimum check-in age, occupancy limits, deposits, and identification requirements.

15. Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, BookResorts will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, punitive, or consequential damages arising out of or connected with your use of the site or any booking.

If we are unable to resolve it, any dispute will be handled by the state or federal courts located in California, as set out in Section 17 (either party may still bring qualifying claims in small claims court).

17. Governing law & venue

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of California, USA, without regard to conflict-of-laws rules. Any permitted court action will be brought exclusively in the state or federal courts located in Los Angeles County, California, and you consent to their jurisdiction.

18. Changes to these terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. The version in effect at the time of your booking applies to that booking. Your continued use of the site after changes take effect means you accept the updated Terms.

19. Force majeure

We are not responsible for any failure or delay caused by events beyond our reasonable control, including severe weather, natural disasters, pandemics, strikes, government actions, or Supplier closures.

20. Miscellaneous

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.
