First of all, I have to give a special mention to Nadia and Rebecca at Veranda, Bel at the Granary Cafe and Claudia on the cleaning team. You all went above and beyond to make our stay as comfortable and welcoming as possible - thank you and big hugs from The Turner Family! Whoever oversees the hiring of staff knows exactly how to recruit just the right people and has trained them in providing truly excellent customer service. It is rare to find a hotel that is not only set within a stunningly romantic landscape and offering delicious food and wine but that is also equipped with the most personable and attentive staff you could imagine who take the time to get to know you and your family. We'll definitely be back for a very special birthday soon! ❤️

Such a lovely property! Felt like I was in Tuscany, beautiful landscaping , old world charm to the buildings , it has it all. It even smells delicious here with all the blooming foliage. After checking in, which was simple and quick, we were shown to our beautiful room. It was spacious and well appointed, a big cozy bed ,super soft linens and a sitting room with a lovely fireplace.Didn’t take long to get down to the beautiful spa and pool area, again incredibly gorgeous. The pool is the perfect temperature with such soft lovely salt water. We enjoyed a delicious lunch alfresco in or cabana. Yummy Brussel sprouts and a fresh delicious salad from the chefs garden! Also did a little shopping in the super cute boutique. We finished out the evening with an amazing dinner at Avant. The service was impeccable ,the food delicious and incredibly pretty! Lovely wine choices and super fun cocktails too. Oops, forgot to mention a quick game of golf between pool and dinner! Had a really good time riding around the beautiful grounds, seeing some wildlife down by the pond and having a cocktail in the golf cart! Only regret was that we couldn’t stay longer!…

We were presented with three delicious, complimentary appetizers to start. Then ordered salad for starter and even our daughter loved it she ate almost all of it. The salmon dinner was impeccable. The service was so prompt and polite. Blaine was truly amazing. I am so happy he was our waiter and the jasmine green tea was my favorite at the end. Thank you, will be back.

Professional, warm and knowledgeable Evey the Concierge, made my stay at the Inn. Much appreciation for welcoming me. And restaurant staff, as well as the Spa staff were overwhelmingly kind. Concierge Evey calmed me and offered her expert input about the hotel and neighboring areas.

We had a wonderful stay for our anniversary. The front desk staff were so accomodating and pleasant. We received a much appreciated room upgrade and we were so surprised to find a lovely amenity in our room to celebrate. We also loved our meals at the Veranda Restaurant. We would like to acknowledge Veranda hostess Sydney. She arranged for us to have a special table for dinner in front of the outside fireplace and musician and accomodate our request for a nice table for breakfast. Thank you Sydney.

This weekend, we went to a lovely wedding at the Rancho Bernardo Inn. It was held outside in the North Lawn at 5:30pm. The grounds were pretty and it felt like it was an intimate venue even though the hotel rooms were a few buildings away. There was a covered area where we all enjoyed appetizers & drinks following the wedding. Once the cocktails hour was over, we entered the beautiful ballroom in an adjoining building. The room was perfect with plenty of room to accommodate 150+ and a large dance floor. Prior to the wedding, there’s a nice pool area that serves food, an onsite restaurant, an onsite bar with TVs and a small cafe that serves Starbucks & grab & go food. I highly recommend this place.

Beautiful property and friendly staff! All contacts with staff were friendly and helpful. Even by text they were super responsive. The restaurants were also top notch. The servers also made it a great experience. The bed was very comfortable and the although room is not ultra brand new and fresh, it’s definitely very clean and kept well.

Cheyenne at fireside bar gave above and beyond service. She surprised me with a birthday flourless cake on my bday dinner. The next night I wanted the same one- I thought I ordered it but turns out I ordered the wrong cake. I didn’t love the cake (pb cake had a paste like gummy vibe) Michelle was nice enough to take it off the bill. I went back later craving the cake from my bday… they said they couldn’t make it bc it was celebratory specialty.. I understood so I was about to leave - Cheyenne saw me and made it happen. 5 mins later she handed me the dang cake! It made me happy! Even her trying meant a lot, and offering something else if the chefs said no- Cheyenne you were super empathetic and caring. Your skills multitasking while maintaining quality and communication w me was rare. I appreciate you making my day. Walked back to my room w the cake she gave me all happppy :) I love when staff try to make customer happy and if they cannot do it, they still offer something else. It’s not about the customer getting their way and shrug if we can’t do it- but more about treating the customer like they are your best friend.. or Beyoncé. Cheyenne made me feel like Beyoncé. She didn’t just shrug and say sorry she can’t- even if she couldn’t, she would have offered up another dessert item.. The flatbread mozarella pizza was so amazing. The cafe girls were so nice too in morning. They gave me a free snack on my bday. I think the spa was amazing- I’d say the spa staff at the pool needed a little more organization; like when a new guest sits down by pool, they could go over and hand menu and say you will be back in 5 mins to check in. They need a better routine and awareness when someone is sitting down- and to not talk in a group by register bc people can here- I kind of sat there for 10 mins- they were talking a group of 5 employees behind bar shooting the breeze- I went up to bar and then they said they would be right w me- sat back down- then waited longer..same thing happened when I was ready to pay- I had another appointment and had to get going- and they are trying to close many checks on one machine that my waitress had to wait her turn- I think they need another close out machine and improved communication with people who sit down ;) I think every lounge chair should have a number so they can assign a waitress to each chair and keep track of which number chairs they have taken care of- I think it could be easy to forget who you have given a menu to and what not bc there are so many chairs lined up - I was kind of in limbo and they knew it was my bday and didn’t do anything- just like needing a better plan would improve things. …

Room, facilities and grounds were extremely outdated. Bathroom was very poor. Paint and caulking were a hot mess. Wallpaper was from the 70s. Only thing new was a huge TV. Staff was very pleasant. Came here 15 years ago and again in May 2023. Won’t be coming back.
