This resort is very clean and relaxing! I highly recommend it for couples looking to get away and relax! The prices are reasonable and room service food was amazing! The mineral spring hot tub made my skin feel really soft and it was very relaxing! We didnt want to leave.

We paid $400 to stay at a suite with a queen bed and private tub. The staff was very friendly, the room was nice I loved the shower, small living room and bedroom. The tub area was small but cozy and relaxing. There were 2 wine fridges, 2 flat screens but no microwave. The towels were cheap rough motel quality, toilet paper was bad, shampoo and soap were literally watered down. The coffe was the worst and the bed was hard. Also I could hear the next door hot tub jets all night long. If they splurged on small things like that the stay would be more pleasant. Ive stayed in $200 rooms far more luxurious than here. Definately too expensive for what they offer. Its good to stay here once in your lifetime but thats it.BTW $100 magically disappeared from my wallet while we where in the room and I have no explanation.

My husband took me here to celebrate our 15 year wedding anniversary. He got us the private cottage located the farthest from everyone with own patio and hot tub. You have your own driveway all I can say is WoW!Had the best time. We ordered room service. Food was delicious. Also had a great dinner at the Garden restaurant there. Must try the scallops rissoto and the fried chicken. Customer service was great all the way around from my very first call to checkout. Definitely going back.

Its pricey but so worth the beautiful room & hot tub! The bed is one of the best Ive ever slept in. This is the kind of place you want when all you want to do is stay in your room because when you get to your room, all you will want to do is stay in it until checkout.

We always visit here when we vacation in SLO. The mineral springs are SO relaxing and the perfect romantic evening. Our family rented the bigger spring, the Oasis pool. It was so much fun and we loved the ambiance. The employees are very friendly. The springs are quiet and very private. I recommend going on a weekday since it is less expensive.

This resort was amazing! The queen suite my fiancé and I stayed in was very clean and relaxing. The mineral springs hot tub on the balcony was perfect, and I will definitely stay again. A beautiful resort with friendly and helpful staff! 100% recommend! A bit pricey, but definitely worth the money for a relaxing and comfortable stay!

While pricey this little gem is definitely worth a visit, I loved having a view and a private hot tub. You really just cant go wrong with that. The staff was amazing and were sure to make sure we had everything we needed. Even if you stay here for one night its completely worth it, I would definitely recommend!

Very nice experience! Get all that stress out of the body. Minedal springs are good for you. Reasonably priced. Great area for a staycation!!!

A cool hiking trail with a over the street foot bridge. Gift shop was beautifully decorated although overly priced. Half of the items made, I could make at half the price.

Super relaxing not crazy about hills up to rooms but all in all a great time

Such a Magical place!!!! Staff was very welcoming and room was very comfortable. Complementary robes to wear during your stay. Our room was a fill-yourself hot tub with lovely mineral rich sulfur water. Amazing grounds to take a walk and immerse yourself in nature. Will be back!!!

A great resort with natural mineral hot tubs. Beautiful bike/walking trails nearby and a great restaurant on the premises! A perfect getaway or hideaway

Its a Great place to relax and rest but furnishings isnt good.

Positive: It was so relaxing. The hot tub was so nice

The king suite was lovely, cool, and remote. Golf carts shuttled us to and fro, had a wonderful meal in nearby SLO. Made an unforgettable anniversary weekend away.

Robbed on Our HoneymoonWe rented a queen size room with a hot tub in April 2020 for our honeymoon, despite this pandemic (we did practice social distancing during our 5 people wedding).My wife’s jewelry was stolen the one time we had our room cleaned, while we were in the hot tub. We noticed that it was stolen when we were packing, which was the night before we left (2 days after the incident). I called the hotel staff & they stated that they couldn’t do anything about it until a manager arrived the following day (we noticed the item was missing at around 12am).We honestly didn’t feel safe staying inside our room & left a few hours later at 5 AM. Upon arriving home, we called the hotel where a manager assured us that they would recover the item. The manager promised to retrieve the item that was stolen & also promised to reach out to us after a few days but he never did call us or send an email with an update on the situation. It was one of those situations where the guy talks a big game but doesn’t follow through. We had to do all of the following up, it was almost a daily task until we got an answer.We then reached out to the hotel a second time, after continuous ducking and dodging from their side, we were told that a resolution would be decided on the 5th of May, 2020. However, we were not contacted & the hotel charged us the total amount of our stay. So, not only did we get robbed on our honeymoon, this hotel is only money hungry.I’ve been more than fair, I’ve given them 12 days to try & resolve this issue before sharing our story with the world. I feel that it is important to share my experience, this should never happen to anyone! If they were truly professional, they would have at least tried to resolve the matter in a civilized manner, however no such actions were taken.Everyone should be aware that if someone steals your stuff, this hotel doesn’t care about you, all they care about is to take as much money as possible from you, legally or illegally.

Very relaxing environment an no smell of sulphur in the hot tub we had.

So serene and relaxing, clean and fun place to get some relaxation.

Staff at check in was very rude. Standard rooms are disgusting and although the queen suite was renovated it was not clean. Good hiking nearby.

All the rooms have hot tubs, whats not to love! Nice staff and nicely put together rooms. They have a Keurig and mini fridge. Comfy beds and good amount of privacy :)

Great place, location and resturaunts. Needs updated mattresses

Front desk staff misled us at check in that the happy hour in the Secret Garden was included as part of the amenities of the room. It is a fully separate establishment open to the public with high priced drinks and with none of the snacks promised.

Very nice room. Bed was broken but the maintenance guys came promptly and did what they could for a temporary fix. Loved the freedom of having a private balcony with tub. Suite was spacious and comfortable. The girl at the front desk helping with our massage appointment had us confused about where to go, even though she was informed wed never been to that particular area before. With all the frustration we ended up walking out before the massages, but still got charged for them. This hotel is very expensive and although it was nice, I dont think I would pay what they charge again. Id probably go back on a day they had cheaper rates.

Stayed in the west Meadow Tranquillity beautiful and totally exceeded our expectations looking forward to our return. Only complaint was u can hear plumbing/pipes rattle under the flooring.

Wouldve gone here but theyre still shut down due to covid wanted to spend a day here w my hunny for his bday:(

Service was not that great. There were two young men who were not professional at all. So, the front guy for morning breakfast was not helpful or nice. The location is great but Im more into service therefore I will rethink of revisiting again or recommending.

Loved it.Nice rooms, great Service, . Booked the king suite. Definitely going back it was our second stay.

My sister was in town from Minnesota and is a freeze baby, always cold, so we took off for Sycamore Springs and are so glad we did. Soaking on the hillside in tubs was so relaxing and the views stunning. Staff was very nice! Happy to help and explain to us first time visitors. We will return.

Its Serene and just am over all content happy place. Everything is all natural

Tried resort for first time and left early....covid restrictions & they cancelled massage appt on us last minute. Not worth the time and.the expense. Got to say Avila Beach was another one we couldve just kept on driving by...

The restaurant is ok. The chef is new and much worse than the last one. The pork chop I ordered was not tender and huge. Very expensive. One main course is $30

Great views, $25 dollars an hour for 2 people on the weekend. Clean tubs, and you can hike up their trail head and overlook avila, Pismo, and shell beach at sunset, try it!!

The staff here are the friendliest and nicest staff I have ever experienced. The suite we got with a private jacuzzi was very clean and comfortable. The restaurant has a nice menu and everything we ordered was 5 star. Room service was fast too. I highly recommend Sycamore and we will return for more unwinding.

4/5I had a really nice time at Sycamore Springs Resort & Spa with my wife and baby daughter. The property is very unique and one of a kind. We did not have enough time to take full advantage of the facilities, so it is good to spend more then one night. The restaurant is of high quality yet on the high price side. A very nice place to visit while traveling through California.

The mountain side hot tubs were closed at the time, stay in a room with a private hot tub . It wS awesome

This is another place We, wife and I, stay often. Seen it go through a few ownership changes and management. Still a good place to go. Relaxing, tranquil atmosphere. Comfortable rooms and beds. We have been a customer for Past 25+ years. This is a picture of the restaurant’s garden on the property.

Unprofessional and rude staff including front desk to cleaning staff. Awaken by loud cleaning crews chit chatting at 6 am. Way to enjoy vacation

Friendly staff. Clean. Beautiful woodsy feel yet so close to beaches

Best place in the world to relax with your significant other.

Natural spring that spa hotel should not have fake plants in their lobby

My favorite escape close to home! So thankful for this hidden gem!

Great getaway, food is delicious. The only thing is the hot tubs in the rooms are not mineral hot springs. And the hot tubs in the room could be updated. But besides that the room is beautiful.

Love this place. What a gem. Making a point to stay every time we come to town.

We decided to take our kids here for a night of fun to kick off the summer. Our room was ready early, which was nice. However, the maids obviously didn’t take time to kill spiders because they were in every corner of our room. 5 in the queen room, 2 in the shower and two in the bathroom that I could see right off hand. As a person that’s creeped out by them it bothered me. I had to have my husband go around and do spider patrol. It kind of made me wonder how clean the room really was. Plus, we couldn’t really watch tv because our remote didn’t work. Overall it was a fun experience with the kids though. Room service was good. I called down for some rubber ducks for the tub and they brought them up right away. I just feel that with how much money this place brings in they could do a little better. When you pay $299 plus tax for a room you expect it will be very clean and that you’re tv will work properly at least. The place definitely has the potential to be a 5 star resort as the rooms have a lot of nice features. One thing that should really be done is new hot tubs should be put in. The ones they have look like they’re from the 80’s.

It was Nice. A bit OverPriced but Nice. Restraunt was Good

This place is very very good.people kind and good service. and good water and clear air.nice jacuzzi~!!

Great spot!! Loveeeee the hottubs they are nestled in the hillside, sooo relaxing! Friendly staff, call to make reservations ahead. Love their windchimes and giftshop.

Fantastic hot tub experience. Great service. I will be back!!

This was a very magical and enchanting experience for me. They were busy the day I went and I was only able to reserve a 10pm slot. Yolo, I figured... so I arrived and it was raining outside. I was in the terrace which is a beautiful private deck with an ethereal tub...I was under a tree in nature just one with mother earth... it was heavenly. With the hardships of life right now I was literally in my own oasis l... I didnt want to leave. I felt so calm and peaceful upon leaving. Definitely worth every moment ♡

I love the thermal hot tubs up in the forest. Very private and great for couples or a self-care vacation. The spa day pass is an excellent value. Great food and classes too. They garden and grounds are very pretty and peaceful. Hike down to the beach and visit the farm nearby.

My sister & I had a spa day together here & it was the most fantastic experience! After our mineeal soak, my pregnant sister enjoyed a prenatal massage while I indulged in a deep tissue. A small break allowed us to enjoy a snack up at the restaurant that we pre-ordered to have ready for our break. COMPLETELY accommodating! No problems whatsoever. Then back to the spa for facials. Sincerely looking forward to the next time.

Its heaven here. You feel rejuvenated after spending time in the hot springs.

Absolutely incredible experience. Each person who works here is so on, so present, so full of life. You guys have a stellar thing going! I will be back as soon as I can!

The mineral water makes you relax and the atmosphere of the resort makes you comfort. Also the dishes and drinks in the resort was great. I enjoyed free yoga and taichi lessons, too.

Great experience. Amazing time with my wife. Pretty sure we didnt have actual meneral water, nonetheless it was a spectacular weekend. Massages were wonderful, food was great (AM and PM). Trials were right on campus and Avila and Pismo beaches practically down the street. Cant wait for our next visit

We originally booked a cheaper room, expecting something better than a Motel 6 type of room. We were ready to cut our 3-night stay down to 1 night but the front desk was ready to make some accommodations to ensure we didn’t leave displeased. They upgraded us to a better room for no extra charge. We also got a couples massage which was super nice, but also super overpriced. And no smoking anywhere on the property can be a bit of a hassle for smoking guests. Overall it was an okay experience.

We went here for a couple massage. The setting was georgios, tucked into a forest like atmosphere you felt like you were away from it all. They offered a 45 minute soak in their hot tub which was private and very relaxing. The couples massage was perfect, the ladies who did the work did a really good job. The only down side was the slightly small dressing room for the men. It was perfect for myself but another gentleman came in for a few minutes and it was tight.

My girl took me here for my birthday great experience feels like your sleeping on clouds. And the mineral hot tub is great. Think shes a keeper

Amazing everytime I go. Reasonable priced for the time your given. Privacy which is great and the gift shop is soo cute

It used to be much better.The bath robe is cheap material, and there is only one bathtub without even any chaise. The hotel runs like expensive room price and low maintenance for customers. Heaters very very cheap heaters too. I have been several rooms, and most of rooms filled with cheap stuffs. This hotel is getting worse.

Dirty, outdated, seems like a spot people go to for hourly rates?? First of all, they didnt have my reservation on file at 1am. Took until 2am to sort that out. This place was not represented by our friends as it is.The room hadnt been updated since the late 80s mid 90s. It was so shockingly bad, I took photos. The hot spring is a tub with plumbed hot spring water ... No hot springs on site apparently, just hot water in tubs.Let the photos speak for themselves. Oh the TV in the bedroom didnt work and the bed made more noise than a duck on PCP. Turned out it had fix it supports under it to help from replacing the dated bed.

Great romantic get away spot.But bed and furniture is a little dated and in need of updates.

Great relaxing time. Private hot tubs and awesome views. Good restaurant too.

I love this place! i come here often, and its still not enough

Very nice cottage with its own tub! I slept like baby! My skin is nice and smooth! Front desk was very helpful and kind! Very private wanted to stay a week or even a month!

We loved it here! Easy to get to from LA with minimal traffic. The room was huge with its own hot tub on the deck & the message was great! Perfect for a relaxing, healing your soul birthday weekend!

The room smell bad and the out said were the jacuzzi was it was dirty with rat poop

The best place on the central coast to relax. Weve been coming here since it opened back in the 80s.

Bad service in the nice hotel. On my husband’s birthday morning we ordered a breakfast. A guy at the phone checked my last name to put the check on the room. 1 h and 21 min later when I called to ask when the food will arrive I was told “you gave us the wrong room number so we gave your breakfast to someone else, I can take your order now” WHAT!??? My husband heard me placing the order and the room number was correct. So instead of chilling in a hot tub and enjoying his birthday morning. we have to rush to eat and leave our room and check out early. It’s so many things you guys can do to make it right for us but you didn’t bother!

Loved going here when I was a kid and the tubs were really made of redwood....but alas the bacteria it holds wasnt great! But it is even more beautiful today! And the guest rooms are lovely....definitely a must when visiting the Central Coast!

Amazing! Wonderful dining experience! Great spa and beautiful grounds. Yoga class was best ever! We loved our instructor!

I bathed in mineral water to the point where I almost passed out from heat exhaustion. I loved it. Super clean and beautiful location. A stay includes access to the Avila Hot Springs too!

Room was a bit dated and no air conditioner. Walls are a bit thin. But jacuzzi on balcony was worth the negative. Very relaxing, strong sulfer smell, but still very relaxing

While relaxing in a private hot tub outside my beautiful room this large blue heron landed 20 feet away! The 100 acre hotel has trails, streams and is close to the beach. The rooms are beautiful with fireplaces and lovely stain glass lamps. The on site restaurant is 4 stars! A must go and stay! Relaxing at its best.

Beautiful, relaxing location. Rooms are nicely updated. The natural spring hot tub on the patio is very nice. The room service took a long time but the food was delicious.

Always enjoy quite time n inside jacuzzi!Will visit soon.

Time well spent!!

The room and hot springs are great. The food at the restaurant was not good. The steak was under done and grisly. While the $8 bread plate was a joke. So come have a good time. It is beautiful, but eat somewhere else.

Wonderful getaway during our honeymoon. Secluded, clean, and enjoyable.

Love this spot! Local favorite for sure! Nothing feels better than a good soak!

Looked scary at night. How comes the 5.0 score? It was so hard to get an appointment and took 1.5 hour on the waiting list. However, I was arranged in a super creepy room faced to mountain, (it might look great in the day).And the mineral water stinged my face.

They have done lots of work on it since we started going 10 years ago, the accommodations are truly worth the price and trip to the resort.All the staff was friendly, and the atmosphere is very serene.

Never eaten nor slept here, but the rentable by the hour mineral spring tubs are the best!!!! You can get special scented baths and some have pretty colored lights in the tubs too. Each one is different and very secluded but some are far down pathways so be careful it’s grts way slippery up/down the stairs that are literally up a mountain side lol. The view and privacy is amazing. Tubs are wonderful. Gift store sells cute stuff and wine and snacks you can bring to your tub! Very worth a quick renal for a nice soak!!

Staff was super friendly and helpful, the grounds were very nice and we relaxed walking around, and we enjoyed the mineral water spa. The facility was rustic and lacked the feel and touches we expected from a facility of this type.

The room looked and smelled nasty I had to change rooms the resort fee is a rip off they took away using the hot tubs at the spa & diverted use to the sister spring 1/4 up the road; now they charge a tub rental fee of 22.50 and they made a 1 hr., massage a 50 min. NOT IMPRESSED AT ALL! At least the food is still good.

Stayed here for my engagement proposal weekend in the amazing queen suite. We were complementary upgraded to the nicer queen suite which was awesome and unexpected (I reached out months before stating I was coming for my proposal and asking for a room with a nice view, but didnt anticipate a comp upgrade). Room and amenities were better than expected! Would highly recommend staying here even only once as the resort experience is great and perfect to take the Bob Jones trail down to Avila Beach! Free yoga the next morning was a nice plus as well.

Not the experience we were expecting. Five minutes into sitting in our private tub both my husband and I started to experience burning eyes and the strong scent of chlorine. We tried rinsing our eyes in the cold water spigot, hoping it was something weird and was short term, but it wasnt. After another five minutes of pain, we gave up and got out. After splashing cold water from the spigot we put our clothes back on and headed back to the check-in area. There it was pointed out to us that we should have called the number on the little piece of paper (maybe the paper should state Have problems with your tub? Call this number.) so someone could have come and checked the tub. Not sure how that would have helped as the water was poisonous and we didnt have bathing suits with us, so we would have needed to get dressed anyway. The woman asked us to wait for the manager to refund our money, which was fine, but not really our main concern. We were more concerned with the affects of the chlorine. I was so dizzy I sat down while waiting but got up when the manager came in. She refunded our money, but just like the other employee did not ask if we were ok or needed anything, which seemed bizarre. We left, sitting in our vehicle for a bit to get our wits about us. Im thankful we both woke up this morning mainly back to normal, but the rest of our evening was ruined. We continued to experience burning pain in our eyes and noses, I was nauseous, and my husband was coughing and weezing. We would have called to let Sycamore to let them know, but the way they dismissed us so quickly it seemed like this wasnt the first time and they werent very concerned. Please note we were pretty clean when we arrived so there was no reason for the self regulator to dump so much chlorine in our pool. This is just a heads up, hope this doesnt happen to others.

Beautiful area very friendly staff. A little bit of paradise tucked into the hillside

So beautiful the dog park in avila beach is every dogs dream lovely always lovely

I love this hidden emerald wrap around the coast of Avila beach. Best kept secret. I been coming here for 20 years . When I was younger we would come here on the weekends. Bring some buddah sticks and good beer and chill under the stars. Fun to bring friends and if you want you can stay at the hotel. The movie stars come here and hide out.

We always have a great time at the hot tubs. Very relaxing on a nice day or evening, nestled into the hillside and trees. If you are ok with stairs, go for one higher up if they ask.Bring your own drinks and towels. They have limited wine and beer for sale, and the towel costs extra. Its kinda pricey for the hourly rental.

Rude and unprofessional. Their customer service is poor and they clearly dont care about your experience. After all, there are enough unsuspecting tourists who would keep coming.

Private mineral spring fed jacuzzi on EVERY BALCONY... LUSH UNIQUE GROUNDS... AWESOME GETAWAY!

I liked the service not to mention the rooms. They were very clean and was very impressed that they had their own spa. Thank you i needed some very much down time and time to be with my wife(Kelli)

My sisters and I celebrated a birthday with a three day getaway. We can say enough about the wonderful time we had. Every single employee we encountered was so helpful and friendly. We loved everything about our stay and we cant wait to come back

Positive: The grounds are very lovely. The restuarant is very good - good service,good entrees. Room patio is nice. Nice patio furniture -I enjoyed the rocking chairs. Room closet very large, room coffee maker is good. Negative: Bathroom very small, no counter space, room lighting is terrible,noise level between rooms high, rooms a bit musty smelling

Hot tub was Luke warm after 5-10min of having it open cool lay out beautiful area was a nice place was expecting more for the money

I wish the tubs would be cleaned after ever use. But still relaxing. I like the privacy

Your own private hot tub in the wilderness. You can pick up snacks and wine and beer in the gift shop. Towels are provided for a $3 fee and the hourly rate is reasonable. You should call to make a reservation first.

The only sulfur mineral hotspot that I can find in California. If you happen to come to San Luis Obispo, you should try to stay at this resort. If you plan to come during holidays, you have to plan a least 6 month in advance.
