Quiet and serene property. I loved being located in the trees. We could see a sliver of the ocean in the distance from our patio, and the property is right next to the ocean.

We love staying at Asilomar and hope it continues to be maintained. The grounds are tranquil and we love the quiet and peace. One negative review is the breakfast. We’ve been going to Asilomar for thirty plus years and the food use to be much better.

Property was beautiful. Most of the staff were friendly and very helpful. Except for one man at the front desk. Was not friendly at all and he wasn’t even the one helping me. He just stared at me and the other staff I was speaking to. Than I sent my sons to ask for towels and they said a man was very rude to them. Later in the day while in the lobby they pointed him out and it was the same man.
