The resort is very dated.The photos posted of the lobby, and the rooms are deceiving. When we checked into our room, the toilet was running, so we had to change rooms. We paid for a room with outdoor access, they didn’t have any of those rooms available, and we weren’t offered a partial refund. They moved us directly upstairs from our other room and we could hear the toilet from below running all night long. They also began replacing door locks in the morning which made a loud, vibrating sound. On a positive note, the view from the restaurant is very pretty. Unfortunately we didn’t enjoy our stay.

Not worth the price

We were overall disappointed by our stay at the Chaminade. We hoped for a luxury romantic weekend getaway, and thinking that at that price-point, we couldn't go wrong... What we got were a tiny room, dirty hot tub and drunk college kids all night long. While the Chaminade is beautifully located and secluded, we were surprised to find very small rooms (maybe even smaller than a regular motel) - with not even a real closing bathroom door (not great as a romantic couple thing), the TV was not working (couldn't load Netflix, couldn't turn off so we had to unplugged), the shower was flowing all over with badly located soap so you can't avoid getting your hair wet. I'm also very surprised that at that price point, we still had to pay for our own parking, when there is actually no way of getting there since it is located inside a park. Finally we got there during a UC conference, so the whole resort got really loud with drinking college kids all night long. Our next door room had about 15 of them doing drinking games and being very loud. We felt like spending a night in a college campus, but paid over $500 for it...

So sweet and comfortable, starting from the drive up through the eucalyptus grove to the soft, cozy robe to the yummy bath products... everything was what I needed for a great night's rest. And on the way out the door at 6am I was greeted by the hoot of an owl! Amazing!
