Due to an outpatient surgery taking place at Balboa, we needed a place to stay the night before and following the procedure. Using a third party reduced rate site, we found The Inn at Rancho Santa Fe and absolutely fell in love with it and the customer service provided. The Inn definitely following pandemic guidelines, and I felt as if the entire facility, including our rooms, was safe for our two-night stay. Many facilities were open at the resort, and although skeptical at first, I was pleased that we had the option to enjoy the pool with an appointment time period to avoid too many people there at the same time. Our room was absolutely opulent from the linens to the private balcony to the incredible shower and even toiletries provided. We felt pampered, and that was especially important as my Marine daughter prepared for and recovered from an injury sustained while serving her country. My only concern was a lack of ice available because we needed to ice her shoulder. When I called the front desk, I was instructed to visit the restaurant's host desk, where someone would be more than happy to help. And, they were. A host and a hostess both went above my expectations when they returned with an ice bucket and plastic bags (that I did not request) to make the ice packs. They were very kind. Hopefully, my next visit to California will be for recreation and not a medical procedure, but if I'm traveling anywhere near this Inn, I will definitely book a room.

I have stayed at this place frequently over the years but hadn't been back in the past 12 months. I was lucky enough to visit for a few nights over the holiday and just had a great stay. The Bar and restaurant are only doing take-out but you can get their full menu and they are happy to make you a cocktail. The staff fall all over themselves to make sure you are taken care of. The place is perfect for social distancing since it is like cottages scattered around landscaped grounds so minimal interior common areas to navigate. I think all the rooms have nice patios and it is a great spot to chill with a book and forget your problems. Oh and they do real deal room service. I ordered and a guy in a suit rode up in a golf cart with our full meal on a nice tray on real dishes with real silverware WOW! In most hotels nowadays they put your food in a paper bag, throw it at your door and run for the hills. Kudos to Nate at the bar and all the friendly staff at this fine place. Can't wait to come back.

This resort has numerous private bungalows spread out over about 15 acres. Built in 1923, it is quaint and historic. Because of Covid 19, we dined inside our room and the food though a bit pricey was delicious. The grounds were beautiful and the staff was gracious. I highly recommend this hotel.
