What guests say
9.1 / 10 · Wonderful on Booking.com, from 503 guest reviews
Chumash Casino Resort earns overwhelmingly positive sentiment for its clean, comfortable rooms, attentive and courteous staff, and impressive spa and pool facilities set against scenic vineyard views. The most consistent frustration is limited dining variety — particularly the absence of a breakfast café — and recurring complaints about casino smoke permeating the property. Guests seeking a relaxing, well-appointed resort near Solvang will largely be satisfied, provided they plan around the food and air-quality shortcomings.
