Hours, reservations and practical booking tips

- Spa hours: 10:00 a.m. – 6:00 p.m. daily
- Reserve early—appointments can be made before arrival
- Confirm in-suite or deck treatments and any setup needs

Spa etiquette, accessibility and what to bring
Bring swimwear if you plan to use the pools before or after a treatment. The spa provides linens and basic amenities; if you have any medical conditions, injuries, allergies, or pregnancy, disclose them at booking so therapists can adapt treatments.
Post Ranch Inn is wheelchair accessible in many public areas including the spa, but the property has no elevators. If you need accessible facilities or have mobility questions, contact reservations to confirm specific room and spa access prior to arrival.

Combining spa time with dining and activities

In-room and suite options for spa lovers
Many treatments can be delivered in-suite or on private decks—this works well if you’re staying in a room with a private outdoor area or soaking tub. Rooms and suites at Post Ranch Inn are limited to two guests and each is arranged around one king bed, so in-room treatments are geared toward adult couples or solo adults.
If you want a room with notable outdoor space for private treatments, consider suites and cottage-style rooms with terraces or soaking tubs. If you have a specific room in mind, request it early when you book—the property is small and rooms are in high demand.
- All rooms limited to two persons and one king bed
- In-room treatments can be arranged—ask when booking
- Consider suites or Ocean House/Upper Pacific Suite for larger terraces
| Room name | Why spa guests may like it |
|---|---|
| Upper Pacific Suite | Private terrace and expansive ocean views that suit in-room or deck treatments |
| Lower Pacific Suite | Ocean-facing spaces with private outdoor seating |
| Ocean House Northern | Cottage-style ocean views and private decks |
