The Scene – Understated luxury is the theme of this spa, located in one of several Mission-style buildings that make up this swank resort. Slip into a plush robe in the carpeted locker area, then stroll into an immense, spotless facilities area containing whirlpool, eucalyptus steam room and sauna. Cool off in one several large showers, stocked with shampoo/conditioner, body wash, towels and razors. Wait for your treatment in the quiet, light-filled waiting lounge overlooking the pool, snuggled into a comfy chair by the fireplace. – – The Services – Traditional spa…

poor service, way over rated, too much hype
by reneemmm at Citysearch
I have been to several of the high end resorts in and around Santa Barbara before. compared to the others Bacara was over rated and more of a hype. Although it was beautiful the service was less than motel 6, and the rooms were not maintained well. The spa and resturants were only open at certiain times. personally it was a waist of money.
- Pros: beautiful place
- Cons: poor service, things do'nt work

Bacara is Overrated!
by skimchee at Citysearch
The restaurants could use some improvement as far as service and quality of food. We had some ok to not so good food here at the hotel. Because it is so far from downtown, there is really nowhere else closeby to go eat. We had dinner at their Miro restaurant which was such a bad dining experience.. no atmosphere, unusually quite and the wait for the food painfully long. It took almost four hours for a three course meal, in which half of our party left before the third course. Eight hundred dollars later, I left hungry. The pool is beautiful and the service by the pool I found excellent, but overall a disappointing experience. This was my second stay here and I think my last.
- Pros: the pool, good facial
- Cons: the food!!!

Very Romantic & Relaxing!
by jak3 at Citysearch
I was brought to the Bacara Resort & Spa by my significant other on a surprise weekend getaway for my birthday and it was breathtaking! The service staff was very very attentive and catered to every single little thing we needed....rides around the property, making dinner reservations, spa appointments, hiking appointment, and horseback riding...u name it! This place was truly the perfect place to get away from the noisy, fast-paced city (we are from Los Angeles). The entire weekend, I was so relaxed and catered to, I didn't lift a finger or had a bad thought. Their two restaurants serve great food and drinks! The pool area is gorgeous with the beach yards away. I think the courteous and warm staff makes all the difference in our experience. We have stayed at very nice places before but staff with their high-and-mighty attitudes ruin it for us most of the time...However, this was never the case at Bacara. Their spa was so-so...only because there isn't much more relaxed u can be while being on this property. :o)
- Pros: Beautiful property, beach front, lots of activities offered, wonderful service, caring staff, well worth the money!
- Cons: Parking is automatically charged to the room every night.
