Fodor's Review:

Surrounded by lush, perfectly manicured gardens and across from the beach, Santa Barbara's grande dame has long been a favorite for quiet, California-style luxury. The sumptuous 10,000-square-foot spa, which includes 10 treatment rooms, a pool, and gardens, is an oasis for rejuvenation. Dining is upscale casual at the ocean-view Bella Vista Restaurant ($$-$$$$), where the seasonal California-contemporary menu changes monthly. Pros: First-class resort, historic Santa Barbara character, personal service, steps from the beach. Cons: Back rooms are close to train tracks, expensive.
