What guests think

At Ragged Point Inn and Resort, reviewers celebrate breathtaking ocean views, peaceful grounds, and generally comfortable, clean rooms, while noting a rustic feel, dated touches, and an unplugged setting with unreliable Wi‑Fi and little to no cell service.

Many praise the on-site restaurant and coffee shop, though hours, staffing, and service speed vary, and some find prices high or quality uneven. Staff feedback trends positive overall, with multiple mentions of kind, helpful teams alongside occasional brusque interactions or slow responses. Rooms often include fireplaces and feel spacious, but recurring drawbacks include dated furnishings, small maintenance quirks, noise from nearby guests, no AC leading to warm rooms, and very spotty Wi‑Fi. Expect a scenic, remote retreat best for relaxing, hiking, and disconnecting.

Ragged Point Inn and Resort Was Awesome. Very Nice Room. Me and My Fiancee Always Try and Get Kingsize Bed. Amenities, Refrigerator and Microwave are a Must Have. Which They Had. Amazing Ocean View From Our Room. Beautiful Scenery on Property. Had a Restaurant and Coffee Shop on Property as Well. We Ate a Few Times at The Restaurant. Food Was Delicious.

The views from this resort are phenomenal! We had a balcony from our room with a jaw dropping ocean view. Our room was lovely, clean, and very comfortable. The grounds of the property were beautiful with much opportunity to photograph nature. It also has conveniences of a restaurant, small store, gift shop, coffee & bakery, gas station, and walk up snack bar. Staff was very friendly as well. Another perk is a trail directly from the resort down to a black sand beach with a waterfall (although closed in February, probably due to rain & mud). We previously hiked this in the summer, so be aware it is very steep and not for beginners. We would definitely stay here again. Truly a gem!

The property is serene and gorgeous. There’s a coffee spot, restaurant, gas and gift shop. There’s the famous sculpture of the portal and the lights at night are a nice touch. I think people should have some reverence for the property. It’s not a park. There were children playing soccer and one on an e-bike zooming through visitors walking on the grounds.

Our stay was great. The location is awesome and there are plenty of hikes and beaches to explore a short drive or bike ride from the grounds. Businesses out there in Big Sur have been in for a ride with all those Hwy 1 closures and the little issues they have stem from that - uncontrollable situation; They still do a good job. If you are snack addicts, go to the small convenience store by the gas station and be prepared to spend a lot of money. Top #3 key lime pie I have ever had is located here... Don't miss it!

You don’t have to go anywhere to enjoy this place.. At Ragged Point Inn you have the convenience of having a restaurant which offers great food, indoor and outdoor seating. The outside is serene and relaxing. The views are breathtaking. They have a cute gift shop, gas station & convenient store. There are stairs that go down but I’m not sure if they go all the way to the bottom where the ocean is at. Drive up North a few miles and you’ll find Salmon Creek Falls. The hike to the waterfall is worth it. Definitely going back.

At check-in we were met by two clowns acting as hotel check-in clerks. It was chaotic and confusing at best. Neither clerk was professional nor inviting. Not a good way to begin. Our room was ready and indeed, spacious. However, this dated resort is need of a make-over to command the rate it is charging. Of note, the food in the restaurant was excellent, as was the service. Unfortunately, it too is in need of a good scrubbing. Oh yes, the restaurant bathroom was FILTHY!

This property is unique and has a wonderful setting. There was a live band playing when we arrived on a Saturday afternoon and we enjoyed listening to them. The restaurant had very good food and selection of entrees. Our check in process was disappointing. The gentleman who checked us in was very friendly but flippant with his remarks and responses to questions. Our room did not have a screen door on the sliding glass Arcadia door which would have been helpful to get air in the room and keep flies out. The chairs in the room looked like all of the bonded leather had come off of the chairs. The bed was comfortable and the room was quiet. The shower head was great, but the hot water was scalding hot. You really should provide a warning. We did like the coffee drinks and food from the coffee shop. Overall this is a special place.

Only 2 small windows were opened. We stayed there for 2 nights and my husband and I kept waking up in the middle of the night due to being uncomfortably hot. Otherwise the place is 3/5

The location is amazing, with a beautiful view out over the ocean. The restaurant has a wall of windows as well as outdoor seating around a firepit, and is a wonderful place to enjoy the view of the Pacific. However the buildings are a bit outdated and could use a refresh. The fireplace in the room didn't work and needed maintenance. This seemed to be a known problem because there were 3 space heaters provided in our room. The restaurant is uneven quality. The breakfast was quite nice, but the dinner entrees were uneven, and the desserts were surprisingly bad. This was a shame because this would really be a wonderful place for a special dinner (date, anniversary) if it were just a little bit higher quality. The person at the checkin desk was extremely responsive when we had questions and a problem with our keys, so that was wonderful. The restaurant staff were also very nice and helpful.

Walked in the lobby to ask where the restaurant was to have lunch. A younger gentlemen greeted me with “Rooms won’t be ready for another 20, is there anything else I can help you with?” I turned around and walked out of the lobby and located the restaurant myself. Excellent. Waitstaff, excellent. View/ambiance, excellent. After lunch went to check in and luckily the younger gentleman was no longer at the desk. Praise be. Easy check in, went to room and it was a nice, clean room but it also overlooks the Pacific Ocean. It’s truly a 10/10 location, and if that younger gentleman wasn’t employed there as a customer facing person that has to use their mouth to communicate. Highly recommend this hotel to anyone traveling up Highway 1

The views are incredible and lots of fresh air. The walk down to the beach is worth it, if a little sketchy. Would recommend proper shoes. I experienced very poor communication with the staff after booking the hotel. They simply would not respond to my messages. Upon arrival, our check in was extremely rushed and we didn’t feel welcomed at all. It was as if we were wasting their time and they wanted us done as soon as possible.

We had a wonderful 3 nights at Ragged Point. We explored hikes up the coast, loved our dinners at the on-site restaurant and relished in the serenity and sunsets. We will definitely make another trip out at some pint. (We are from the east coast and drove up from San Diego while visiting our daughter in college). We have always wanted to visit Big Sur and although the road is still closed at the landslide we really enjoyed all this area had to offer and the staff and setting at Ragged Point. And the ocean view was outstanding. Ocean for miles!

No internet except for in the lobby at 1 chair. Unacceptable in 2025. It would be impossible to stay connected to the office or with family at this property Had dinner at the property restaurant because the closest restaurant was 30 min away. We were told the bar/restaurant closed at 8 pm so put your drink order in now Rib eye steak skewers were tough and fatty and undercooked. Mushroom soup was tepid. Service not great inexperienced perhaps. Homemade bread excellent Morning baked goods at their bakery raspberry/cheese danish dry and definitely not worth the calories. When we checked in Chris was abrupt and somewhat rude explaining the lack of WiFi but quickly changed and became more pleasant. Rooms very comfortable and great view.
