Calamigos Guest Ranch and Beach Club

Khalid

My wife and I have done Calamigos twice now (once for New Year's & once for my birthday) and we absolutely love it. The price is up there, but it's one of the few high end stays that I've been to and actually felt like I got what I paid for. The service was great both times from the main property staff to the team at their private beach club. The property is fun to explore and we even took part in a complimentary sound bath during one of our stays. I love that they have bungalow style lodging with enclosed patios for added privacy. It was especially great for a getaway during the thick of COVID. It's a great location with great proximity to other great restaurants and activities. I really can't say enough about this place. It was so enjoyable that my wife and I recommended it to my mother for one of her birthday trips with her boyfriend and they loved their weekend getaway. As Arnold Schwarzenegger said, "I'll be back". Ambiance: 5/5 Rooms: 4.5/5 Food: 4.5/5 Drinks: 5/5 Price: 4/5 Service: 6/5 *They definitely exceeded here Overall: 4.8/5

Our stay was beyond delightful, starting from the valet to the staff at the pool everything is well prepared for guests, the hospitality is top notch. It’s my new favorite spot in Malibu, it’s a destination on its own. Thank you for this wonderful stay

Calamigos is a most exquisite place to stay! Well appointed cottages, immense grounds, fragrant bushes scenting the air wherever you go. Weddings venues immersed in natural surroundings. Service above and beyond and breakfast this morning was fabulous. Oh, and the bunnies hopping around are so cute!

The amenities and services were superb here. They have four pools, a spa, a gym, tennis courts, multiple bars and restaurants, a cafe, and more. It’s a short drive to the beach, yet perfectly secluded within a forested part of Malibu. However, I’m knocking off three stars for the following reasons. We were never informed of various reservations from private parties and film sets, which interfered with our experience of the entire property. My wife and I were unable to hike some of the trails on the property due to film crews having all types of equipment throughout the area. Also we were unable to eat and enjoy the beach club due to a private party renting out the venue. It seems beautiful, sadly we were unable to experience the atmosphere. Above all, the mattresses in the cottages were incredibly firm. Both my wife and I are side sleepers and we didn’t sleep comfortably our entire stay. We’re in our thirties and exercise regularly, so It isn’t a matter of us having worn-out bodies. Overall, this is a majestic property to reserve for private events such as a wedding, however the hotel experience was unfortunately lacking. I wouldn’t stay overnight again, especially considering their prices.
