The Post Ranch Inn is a fantastic resort in the centre of Big Sur, an area in California. The place is just 1,200 feet above the Pacific Ocean. It is a 26 mile drive south of Carmel and the road shows you amazing cliffs, fabulous beaches and all the time overlooks on the Pacific.
Each room has satellite music system, a fireplace, a refrigerator stocked with Sonoma goat cheese and wine. There are also acres and acres of land and arguably the coolest hot tub in the universe: the Jade Pool, an infinity pool heated to 102 degrees is perched on a cliff.
