Check in took over 30 minutes. The line was wrapped around the lobby and people kept cutting the line. Once I finally got to the desk, the gal that helped me was quick. The room was like a cabin. It was cute but outdated and there was no television. I wonder if the other rooms are like that too. The pillows were very flat. The grounds were pretty. I was suprised at how large it was. Housekeeping left huge bags of trash just laying around and an animal got into it and spread trash everywhere. That was gross. Overall expensive for the experience but I’m sure it’s because I stayed in the summer.

Property and rooms are very outdated and not clean at all. Bugs on the towels and very limited amenities. Parking was weird and entering into the property and finding our room was confusing. Would not recommend.

We stayed at the "Whitecaps North" building. Beautiful dunes and beach easily walkable from the rooms. No TVs in the rooms and wifi turned off at night. It's a great place to retreat for peace and quiet without screen time. Check out the social hall for activities like playing pool and reading a kindle next to the fireplace.

We loved staying at Asilomar and are already making plans to return! The location on the coast is stunning and we love the rustic summer camp vibes of the facilities. We were especially thrilled by the complementary fire kit that allowed us to start a cozy fire in our room, and that we could easily get extra pillows delivered as I'm a bit of a princess and the pea sleeper. The cafe and park store had everything we needed to pick up for our stay and we had an amazing (and affordable!) dinner at Fishwife just down the road. This place is truly a gem that my partner and I will be coming back to again and again.

Perfect little cabin get away with tons of wild life and a beautiful beach! It’s more retreat style, as there’s no a/c and no tv’s in the room, but with so much going on in and around the property, you don’t miss the TV at all. I can’t speak to whether or not the a/c is necessary, as it was 50° outside during our stay, so we used the heat! I think it stays pretty cool year round in NorCal, But if that’s a necessity for you, just take this into account. Also note, cleaning lady and mini fridge are only available upon request. I learned that this retreat was designed by the first female architect and you can tell with how su soaked the rooms are!!

Staying here my experience was pretty bad. Starting with my check-in. The guy working the front desk had a tone and attitude that kinda set the miserable tone from the beginning. He was somewhat argumentative and just all around unhelpful. I later found out there was a public 4th of July event that nobody even told me about or made me aware of. Would have been nice to know about ahead of time. After checking in, there were two bottles of water with a $6 price tag. One of them was already open. So I took it to the front desk and asked for a new one so that I would not be charged. I also think it’s disgusting to have an unsealed food item in my room that I could have mistakenly consumed and potentially get sick. I took this to the front desk and was literally told “just put it back, you probably won’t get charged” by the same guy and a young lady. They refused to replace it. There was also broken glass on the floor in front of my room, I notified the front desk, and over the duration of my stay, 3 days, it was never cleaned. Considering this is a family oriented place, it absolutely shocks me they didn’t clean it right away especially considering kids run around with no shoes on.

The property is clean, well preserved, and is a historic California Land Mark. It is walkable to the ocean and 17 mile drive. The natural landscape entices native animals like dear to wonder on the property. The vegetation natives to the area gives a warm and natural landscape. The walk paths are easy for any level of hiker.
