Thoughts on doing anniversary weekend at the Ritz in Santa Barbara? I did Ritz in Dana Point and wasn’t too impressed - felt old and outdated without many amenities. We’re looking to relax and chill.

If you’re set on Santa Barbara, stay at Kimpton Canary. Nicer than the Ritz for sure. The rooftop pool is incredible. Couples massage at Float Luxury Spa. All the food of downtown SB and Funk Zone in walking distance.

SB ritz is even worse than the Dana point one. It’s very antiquated. Beautiful grounds but rooms are so-so. Also food options are just okay

Terranea or Montage?

Bacarra is super nice but Montage or Terranea (posted above) would be great choices.

I went to a wedding at Bacarra which was awesome but honestly I’d recommend something closer/easier to everything in SB. Bacarra would be good if you just want to chill at the pool and/or if you have kids and they want to run around. Someone else mentioned it but the food, like most resort resorts, is overpriced and average at best
