Returning to Calamigos for another stay was a bit like coming home. As soon as I was driving there I knew the way and check in was a breeze just like before. I did have some issues when booking my room initially and ended up with an estate room, but when I checked in, I discovered I had been upgraded to a double bungalow. The ranch had undergone a few changes since my last visit and most of the staff was new. There were a few familiar faces which was good to see. The staff took excellent care of me, especially Kurt, the concierge, Connor, the resort manager, and Daniel, the assistant front desk manager. Also all the valets were great, greeting me warmly when I returned and offering me water before I left. The double bungalow I got was spacious with two bedrooms and a massive bathroom. I did have a couple of issues with my room, but the staff was quick to address them or explain the issue (my bed stand somehow broke, not by me, which they fixed the next day after I did a temporary fix and the phones in my bungalow were out due to wildlife). I was able to get in touch with the staff whenever I needed through text and they always responded within a few minutes. I did use the spa again (see separate review) and finally took advantage of the hiking trail they have on the grounds (did make a suggestion about signage). I also used the pool area and was pleased with the prompt and constant service the staff provided. However, I also had a private patio where I could get a little sun in the afternoon just stepping outside. It was another amazing stay and I know if/when I return to Malibu, Calamigos is where I’ll be staying.
Stinning hotel with great service in beautiful location. Stayed in an estate room for one night in August - staff at beach club and ranch could not have been more helpful. Had nice lunch at beach club - facilities on beach itself not great but the pools, restaurant, and room at ranch itself were amazing and would highly recommend
