Whose name will my reservation be under when I arrive at the venue?

It can be under your name or a name you choose! Some reservation offers already include the AppointmentTrader Transfer Service which will transfer the reservation in to your name. If its not included you can add it on after buying the reservation for a small fee. One thing on that though: As many reservations become available at last minute, taking a reservation in someone else name is quick and great for privacy. Most reservations on AT are listed with a virtual phone number, so all you need to do is present the phone number at the hostess stand and you are good to go!

We came to the spa for massages and decided to splurge

1/5 by Rachel C. on 02/19/2023

We came to the spa for massages and decided to splurge because a website said that we would have access to the facilities. When we got there we realized there is no shower, no steam room or anything. Just a room with chairs and a fireplace to wait for the masseuse. We were also informed that we were not allowed access to the pool or facilities. The woman working at the desk was very nice and this was certainly not her fault but we were obviously really disappointed and never would have spent that much money for a massage only with no other services or facilities. Additionally, the massage was terrible. It seemed like the masseuse had never done this before and was simply rubbing my body rather than massaging. My friend had a different masseuse and really enjoyed her treatment, so it's probably just hit or miss depending on who you get. Would not recommend as a spa, it's over priced and pretty simple. We were told that the manager would call us to compensate us in some way for the misunderstanding but we haven't received a call.

We went to the restaurant and the ambiance was amazing but

3/5 by Aalia S. on 02/11/2023

We went to the restaurant and the ambiance was amazing but the food was so boring. Everything was overpriced and bland. The service was also just ok. I think this is a place to come for dessert and drinks.

Magical Place!

5/5 by Zfiore on 02/07/2023

What a magical place this is! From the moment you enter this property you feel like you found yourself in a fairytale. The beautiful garden, the birds, the lemon trees, the view of the mountains. Just beautiful. All the cottages are one of a kind and decorated with amazing attention to detail. The restaurants in property serve delicious food and their wine list is very impressive. Customer service is top notch!

This is such a lovely resort! When I visit Montecito this

5/5 by Megan O. on 01/18/2023

This is such a lovely resort! When I visit Montecito this will be where I stay. The cottages are all romantic, the food in the restaurants are delicious, and the grounds are very special. I even found the front desk staff to be friendly and efficient. I can't wait to go back!

One of the best places I've ever dined!!!! It's so

5/5 by Nina V. on 12/30/2022

One of the best places I've ever dined!!!! It's so beautiful, so majestic, so intimate. We were there in the evening hours, so the lighting and the atmosphere blew our minds. And the food is to die for! I've never seen such an eloquent waiter in my life. The check was a little up there, but the whole thing worth every penny!!!

Stonehouse Restaurant

5/5 by Kimber E on 11/22/2022

Our experience could not have been better. Thinking we would arrive early, walk the grounds, then have a pre-dinner cocktail we arrived vastly early, not reading that the restaurant did not open until 5pm! No problem. We walked the simply impeccable grounds but still had an hour to kill. Our parking valet saw our predicament and guided us to a wonderful eatery called the Honor Bar to kill time. Back at the Stonehouse we had a wonderful table overlooking the Pacific. Life is good. We are greeted by our Liverpudlian Richard who was our attendant for the evening, who was simply wonderful in both timing and conversation. He even pointed out pictures outlining the history of San Ysidro Ranch, which was amazing in its own right..but the fact that he took the time to show us this demonstrated his passion for this wonderful place. Do yourself a favor. Save up for a really big splurge. Have dinner at Stonehouse and ask for Richard. It'll be a great night. Our first experience with Steak Diane was wonderful. A game changer.

Best Staff

5/5 by Molly M. on 11/03/2022

We attended a wedding at SYR and could not have been more impressed by the welcome and helpfulness of Lisa! She was working the front desk and was an absolute treat to us and all of the members of the wedding party! Truly the day couldn’t have gone as smoothly without her hospitality. She deserves a raise!

A Uniquely Magical Stay in Montecito

5/5 by Lily S on 10/24/2022

My husband and I stayed at SYR in October 2022 for the first time as a romantic escape from NYC. We were blown away by the property. Every detail is incredible. Each of the cottages are unique with layered decor pieces from around the world. The design of the common areas is incredible. The property landscaping is lush and beautiful and smells of jasmine and fresh burning wood from the onsite fireplaces. The service is absolutely incredible and the food is not to be missed. The property is private and intimate feeling with a limited number of guests at any one point. We felt we had the place to ourselves at many points during our stay. We could not recommend this hotel more and are already planning our trip back next year

🤢

Overrated in nearly every way

2/5 by Steve06831 on 10/09/2022

OVERRATED seems like the perfect word to describe this absolutely gorgeous property that fails on literally every other level. The property looks spectacular but for $4000/night it’s almost as if they don’t understand that service and “the details” will ultimately determine its value to those of us who only want the best and don’t really care about the price. Anything and everything you ask for is a chore for them to provide. Even simple things like coffee in your room is too complicated for them with basic items continuously missing despite asking for them. Housekeeping comes in when they please regardless whether you have a sign on your door asking for privacy or not. Breakfast means continuously asking for items over and over again and brunch is basically a lesser breakfast at a much higher cost. It is unfathomable to me at $4000/night how difficult it was to get coffee, juice, butter, etc. I’m literally talking 3-4 times asking for each item and in an area with almost no guests at tables. I’m not sure if this has anything to do with it but apparently the owner is the Beanie Baby founder, Ty Warner who also owns the Four Seasons in NYC and Santa Barbara which are both in a nasty dispute with Four Seasons and remain unopened since Covid. Is he purposely trying to run this property down too? Seems unlikely but they now are offering complimentary meals to lure people in. I assure you all the meals they give you and it’s still not worth it. All in all a very underwhelming experience that leaves you feeling ripped off. Hopefully they will train their staff better and maybe take lessons from Twin Farms or Blackberry Farm so they can understand how to run this properly. Unfortunately probably the worst part is that I don’t think they really care and this is what it is. Be smart and save your money and go somewhere else. If you decide otherwise don’t say I didn’t warn you.

A special place

5/5 by Jennifer G on 10/08/2022

We absolutely loved our stay at San Ysidro Ranch. The grounds of this hotel are stunning. The vibe is definitely quiet luxury and I would probably only go as a couple. We stayed in Eucalyptus, which is a really special cottage. The large backyard space is incredibly relaxing, with its own hot tub and hammock. We thoroughly enjoyed all of our meals. The breakfast bread basket was a naughty treat each morning! It is great to be able to walk to good hiking trails. This hotel is really expensive. For us, it was definitely worth it.

😍

The atmosphere is magical at San Ysidro Ranch.

5/5 by Kelsey L. on 09/16/2022

We come here for dinner whenever we are in Montecito and it's truly like being transported to another world, filled with twinkle lights and beautiful flowers. The staff are all so kind and the food and drinks are amazing. I would love to stay here some day as a guest and cannot even imagine how beautiful it would be to get married onthe property. Staying there is pricey but going for dinner is a great way to experience the ranch without breaking the bank. It's definitely a perfect place for your next special occasion meal or celebration.

😍

The food.

5/5 by Elyse R. on 08/17/2022

The setting. The service. Extradinaire . Definitely expensive. Wish I could dine there all the time! A definite hidden jewel in the heart of Montecito.

American Riviera - Reminds me of Italy

5/5 by Esther B on 08/09/2022

I stayed here with my adult children in 2021. It was a wonderful time with good memories. I do recommend this place for a quiet luxury getaway! I hope to return again soon. When we stayed the dining was included in the price. It reminds me of Italy.

Experience doesn't match price

3/5 by llf415 on 07/28/2022

For $4,000/night one expects an excellent experience. SYR is coasting on its location and past glory but isn't currently delivering an experience that matches the price. It has been a long time since they had unique decor and brought freshly popped popcorn to the rooms! Let's start with the exceptional: the location is amazing and having mostly stand-alone cottages provides one with privacy and a real get-away feel. Every room has an EV charger, which is very thoughtful, and the pool area has been re-done, has small gym, a mini golf course, and a bocce pitch. Then there are the rooms and the dining, which are not exceptional. Everything is fine in the rooms, but fine and adequate don't match the price: the decor is very ordinary, towels are small and scratchy rather than luxurious. The turn-down service is below average--shades/drapes were not drawn, lights were not dimmed, no little "goodnight" amenity was provided. We had our child with us and requested a roll-away, which was in the room folded up; we had to move furniture and set it up ourselves, and, unlike other high-end hotels in SB, there was nothing special for our child. In contrast, El Encanto provides children's slippers, robes, gives children feed for the turtles in their pond, and always gives them some kind of gift. SYR used to serve breakfast anywhere on the property, and it was so lovely to dine in the gardens; now it is in-room or at the restaurant. However, on Sundays breakfast ends at 8:30 (yes, in the morning), which was not explained to us at check-in. When we went down at 8:45, the restaurant staff was quite rude and said it was "in the letter" the front desk gave us. When we asked if we could return for brunch when the restaurant re-opened at 11:00, we were told they were booked and didn't have a place for us. The pool restaurant is nice and the staff there was super friendly, but it does not open until 11:00. Our impression was that the whole dining experienced is designed for outsiders and guests are treated as second to their local customers. SYR was our second choice, as out first choice, El Encanto, was fully booked. It will remain a second-, or even third-choice for us after our recent experience.

😍

What a difference!

5/5 by lowhedgerow on 07/18/2022

I reviewed this hotel with three stars back in 2020. I'm delighted to say that they've made great changes and that SYR is now well worth the cost. The complimentary dining is a fantastic change and puts this place on par with the best Aman resorts. Also the food is wildly improved. We had some incredible dishes there and we loved trying different items on the menu. Service was warm and attentive. Staff truly went out of their way. We booked several rooms for friends and they also raved about the experience. Yes, this place is expensive, but it's the right kind of splurge. Peaceful, private, indulgent. Bravo, SYR!

Few wedding venues are anywhere near as beautiful as San

5/5 by Emily P. on 07/06/2022

Few wedding venues are anywhere near as beautiful as San Ysidro Ranch, and they exist I imagine in faraway places. As a Southern Californian bride I was searching in vain for somewhere lovely to say I do when I finally found San Ysidro. I scheduled a tour with my fiancé and mom, and once we got there among the flowers and hummingbirds I felt instantly at peace. All three of us knew we had found what we had been looking for. My wedding at San Ysidro was the most beautiful, momentous day of my life. I completely understand why people have been entranced by the magic of the place for hundreds of years. San Ysidro Ranch is true luxury, and I couldn't be more grateful that I got to experience it with all of my loved ones at my side.

Beautiful place

5/5 by yassou on 06/04/2022

Beautiful place , very romantic… The rooms look lovely it’s a piece of heaven. We went there on a honeymoon and we really enjoyed the ranch. The staff was friendly and the food was good . Would love to go back again soon. I forgot to mention the beauty of their garden ❤️

🙂 4/5 Review by ChattyPeace47 (09/04/2022 2:30 pm)

Ok at this point I've attended a reservation purchased on AT by a friend and sold a reservation personally. Both worked pretty smoothly, nothing sketchy about it. A few areas for improvement including a way to more directly communicate between buyers and sellers, but the app always seems to be in development. AT customer support is really(!) responsive and helpful too if you have questions!

Working on your bid?

Question by DemurePain59 (10/01/2021 1:24 pm)

Best Answer Your bid has been “matched” with a reservation. From the time a reservation has been located, the seller of the reservation must connect with moderator to give transfer information for reservation. If the seller;however, does NOT respond to reservation transfer, then your bid is reprocessed and returns to the first step, which is connecting your request to a reservation.

Process after bid is accepted.

Question by EvocativeFold67 (09/17/2021 8:11 pm)

Best Answer Hey @EvocativeFold67, welcome to appointmenttrader! Once the reservation is in your portfolio, you definitely own the timeslot, the review team would not have approved the trade if the reservation wasn't confirmed - so you are going :-) Judging from your post you bid today and are going tomorrow - don't worry as long as you initiated the name transfer, you are good - the transfer service has to work with the opening hours of the reservation team of the respective venue. You will likely see the transfer confirmation a couple hours before your reservation time.

Where do the Reservations on AppointmentTrader come from?

Question by ColorfulRod45 (07/13/2021 3:55 pm)

Best Answer Mostly from people who don't need their reservations or appointments any longer. AT has no relationship with places listed and acts as a platform connecting buyers and sellers making sure that listed reservations are real and that privacy is not compromised when transacting.

What happens if my bid expires unanswered?

Question by FluffyStar64 (07/08/2021 5:55 pm)

Best Answer Hey @FluffyStar64, thanks for the question! When you place your bid the amount gets transferred in a deposit account, the second you either cancel your bid or a few minutes after the bid expires the funds are moved back into your main account from where you can refund it to your payment method or use for other transactions.
