We arrived late, no bellman at all, no valet service, housekeepers sitting with their carts at the entrance of the hotel, no what you expect on a 5 star property. Stayed in the Rancho section, grounds look old, need to work on their gardening, rooms small, nicely decorated, but still look old. Breakfast was basic. Not a good selection in... More

My husband and I were there recently for our anniversary. The grounds are amazing, the staff is exceptional. I did a day in the spa with massage and then hanging out at the kid free pool. The husband did a round of golf. He was in heaven. Everything about this place is perfect. Quiet and beautiful. We will definitely be... More

Our trip was to visit family in the local area and we wanted to treat ourselves to a nice hotel stay. We had asked for a quiet room. Ours was in the Veranda and overlooked the gardens. I opted for a balcony rather than the patio, which was a good choice. More privacy. The room was spacious and comfortable. Despite... More

This resort was built in the 1960's and still has that feel of enough land to build low buildings and beautiful landscaping. The decor everywhere was charming and varied, the lobbies almost seemed under used because they were so welcoming but fairly empty. The rooms were very nice, large and we really liked our little patio that looked over many... More

We stayed here on business. While the hotel suited our purpose it is mainly a hotel for business and for golfers. Breakfast buffet was good and a nice assortment. I felt the room were a bit dated, and new mattress are in order.

Shortly after booking my hotel I called to set up chocolate covered strawberries and champagne to be set up I'm the room to surprise. I was assured that they would be placed in our room after check in as we were going to drop off our bags and head out with the plan of returning to the surprise. When we... More

It's really interesting how so many people gave this place top reviews. We just got back from our trip there and what a disappointment! Here's my review: First of all, we weren't informed at booking that the place is going under construction. So the first impression is a bad one, as you have to enter the hotel through the back...

Stayed here for a stay-cation after finding a great deal on TravelZoo. We were disappointed, especially after hearing great things and won't be back and definitely don't recommend this place. I will say the property is gorgeous and ambiance is nice. But lots of little things went wrong and they just added up. We found an old buffalo chicken wing... More

I had business meetings at the Rancho Bernardo Inn for 3 days and found the overall experience outstanding. The ambience that felt like old California, coupled with wonderful and friendly service made the stay memorable. Rooms were nice sized, although I did move to a second floor location to enjoy more privacy. The only drawback was the construction that was... More
