I've currently got a four night points stay booked in late-March. Any thoughts on whether four nights is too long here? Really just looking to relax and do some hiking. I'm considering moving the fourth night to somewhere in Monterey, but would appreciate the thoughts of those who've actually stayed here. Thanks.

We did 2+2 at Ventana and Carmel Valley Ranch. That was a nice combination.

Looks like a big chunk of HWY 1 has fallen into the ocean due to the heavy rainstorms. Any idea how this will impact the hotel opening on 2/5? The missing section is near Rat Creek (36.0922820,-121.6185350). Obviously access from points South will be impossible, but it looks like the route from Carmel / Monterey will still be open.

We did four nights and it was probably the max I would recommend. We had the same thoughts as you regarding a night or two in Monterey initially and ended up doing all 4 at Ventana, however if we had to do it over again we would have done 3 nights at Ventana and 1-2 in Monterey (depending on when you arrive / leave).
