I stayed at Calamigos Guest Ranch and Beach Club with my husband and my dog—and we had the best time! The property is located in a quiet, remote area of Malibu—the Ranch itself is very well maintained! We loved our premium private cottage that included an outdoor shower. We also loved the breakfast/brunch and lunch offered at the main restaurant—the black truffle croque monsieur and clam chowder pot pie were seriously incredible. The best part about Calamigos is that it’s pet friendly. They had a goodie bag for our dog upon check in that included dog treats, toys, bath items, and a doggy bandana! They also had a dog bed and dog bowls already set up in our room. And how can I forget to mention the dog room service!? Yes! You are provided a dog menu and can order room service, all day long, for your furry loved one—for free! During our stay, we also visited the Beach Club. What a gorgeous place that includes a full bar, restaurant, pool, showers, beach chairs, beach towels, and private beach access. The only reason I did not give 5 stars is because we did not receive good service (or any service for that matter) at the main pool. Aside from one other couple, we were the only people there and the server had a bad attitude and completely ignored us. We sat there for 30 minutes and she never came over to ask if we wanted something to eat or drink so my husband had to go get drinks and food himself. Even after getting our own drinks, she still never came over to check in on us.
