We reserved an expensive room with a specific type of tub. We did not get what we reserved, and management refused any compensation. The manager also did not call me back after he promised to do so. Sycamore Hot Springs has a problems with honesty, credibility, and is not a value for the money. More

In the past, our family has stayed in one of the Mythical Suites at this resort. This time we stayed in the Adventure Building because the place was really full. As always, the staff was lovely, the mineral water awesome and the views beautiful. However, this time, the room was dark, dingy and old and the climate control basically nonexistent.... More

This review is only for the spas and massage, since we did not stay at the hotel. We had the couples massage (tranquility for two) in the evening. When we arrived the explained where everything was, we changed in to our bath robes and flip flops (the hotel provided) and went to our complimentary soak in the mineral hot tub.... More

We enjoyed this place a lot: rooms are dated and in need of repair. But clean, bed was confortable, grrat hot tub outside, secluded location, feels like you are in the middle of the forest. Restaurant was excellent, great dinner and breakfast, fresh ingredients shine through. Can take nice walks in the grounds, free yoga and play in the labeeynth.... More

Spent one night on a Standard room with a mineral hot tub. The view from the balcony is not as nice as the view from the hourly rental tubs, wherein you feel as if you"re in the middle of a forest. The room was not luxurious, just average but clean. There are plenty of hiking trails nearby. It's also close... More

We stayed in one of the newer suites. It was spacious, comfortable and quiet, under the trees, with a conventional hot tub on the deck (not mineral water). We enjoyed hiking the trail behind the property up to the ridge with spectacular views of the ocean, and took the hiking/bicycle trail right outside our door to Avila Beach. The hotel... More

This review is for the spa at Sycamore Springs. (I haven't stayed in the rooms.) Even if you're not staying here, book a massage and soak in the mineral springs. You will be so happy you did! First you change into a robe and flip flops, soak in the hot tubs and get nice and relaxed before your massage. The... More

I noticed the somewhat poor reviews, but those are mostly unfounded. We stayed in a queen suite called quest it was large, clean and comfortable. Now the bed can be a challenge it is quite high so if your short watch out. The food in the restaurant is very good plus the staff seem very polite and cordial. They offer... More
