Alila Ventana Big Sur
"We really loved our stay with one exception. A woodpecker would wake us up daily between 6am-6:30am pecking loudly on the outside of our suite (#58). We asked if anything could be done but there wasn’t and it was a common occurrence. We would love to go back if we can be sure we could sleep in."

"This is an amazing home with spectacular views. Host was very communicative when I had trouble checking in. Home is right in the heart of Big Sur and was easy to access state parks, trailheads and restaurants. If we ever come back to the area we will be sure to check this property out again."
