We spent an amazing week at the Santa Barbara Eco-Lodge! We were a group of 4 women (mom and 3 adult daughters). We had a beautiful suite overlooking the gardens and pond with ducks. The staff was amazing attending to every question we had. The resort is high on a cliff overlooking the ocean and beach with stunning views and beautiful sunsets. We enjoyed our daily breakfast with fresh juices, fruits and a wonderful selection of eggs, omelettes, and yogurt bowls. We also enjoyed a few dinners at the restaurant and nightcaps from the bar. The cute beach bar is an added bonus and was so fun to grab a cocktail and watch the sunset. Thank you for a wonderful time and we hope to be back.
