Pool
The Ojai Valley Inn offers guests multiple pool options, although families with teenagers may find the family pool less than ideal. However, poolside service is available at all the pools, including the Indigo pool, which guests found to be fantastic and relaxing. Unfortunately, some guests reported delays in receiving drinks due to understaffing. The Pixie pool, while convenient, sometimes had used towels and trash left behind. Guests warned that the pool may be too cold for some during the winter months with one 70-degree pool not meeting the expectations of a 5-star resort. Overall, the pool area at Ojai Valley Inn is a great place to relax and enjoy the California sunshine.
Luxury
