RBI is truly beautiful. Everywhere I turn is beauty; Greenery, fountains, gardens, running water sounds so comforting and relaxing. I can not wait to come again. The food is delish, the staff is amazing - so nice and professional.

Hotel's Favorite
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!…

Changed rooms two times!! Booked king size bed however upon check in, was given two queen beds!!! I feel like they did that on purpose so we have to pay more if I wanted an upgrade! Plus they really need to renovate the whole place. Cleaning lady came and forgot to take the trash and dirty towels. Luckily her cart was still there and I was able to ask her if she’s done. She even left a broom! I did asked her if she’s done and she said oh I forgot to grab those! (Dirty towels, trash and broom!). Makes me wonder if she really cleaned my room! Underneath the bed had lots of dust! Plus their AC always acting up! Not going back!

Wonderful old school resort with mature trees, shady green areas, and excellent service. The patio restaurant is a wonderful setting. Note, the property is not flat, which certainly adds to it's beauty, but it has lots of steps and stairs and hills between the different buildings. If you're over a certain age, make sure you get a room to accomodate.

I had an overall great experience. The service was FAR above expectations. The meals offered food that was fresh, healthy AND really delicious. I wish I could have used some of the amenities, but work filled the whole visit 😞

From the check in with Paulina, to the service at the spa, we had an incredible time! I can’t tell you how important that first impression is, I believe our Bell man was Weiland? He was wonderful and our experience at check in was a 10/10 with Paulina! I would absolutely recommended this property to my family and friends. Love the cabanas at the adult pool and pool side service as well!

My wife and I went to Rancho Bernardo Inn in early August 2023, as part of our honeymoon. We had a lovely time enjoying the golf course, pools, and restaurants. One highlight was our couples massage with Gouya and Angus. Make sure to book them during your visit! We also enjoyed a wonderful dinner and on a separate occasion drinks at AVANT. The food and experience was AMAZING. Josh was our server; he was knowledgeable about the menu and provided us with 5 star service.

I booked a birthday getaway at RBI for my girlfriend. The spa grounds are beautiful but the facilities are not in great shape. One of our massage therapists was absolutely terrible. The spa pool is lovely, though understaffed. We are at veranda and our server forgot to put in our appetizer order- we waited for about 40 minutes and when we inquired about what had happened we got no explanation or apology. One of the items was inedible so that was taken off our bill but the other item was not. Our entrees were not badly prepared like one of our apps was, but also were just not good. Front desk staff was super slow and inefficient. There is a 26% service charge for in room dining which I thought was laughable especially considering the poor service in the restaurant itself.

This was our family’s first time at the Rancho Bernardo Inn. We stayed in a Studio Suite with a fire pit, and there was plenty of space for 2 kids and 2 parents to spread out. We enjoyed s’mores by the fire pit and dining al fresco on the patio that looked out onto a lush golf course. We were thoroughly impressed with quick and courteous service from the valet / bell services staff. Also, Josie at the front desk was beyond service oriented - always greeting us by name and providing us with the VIP experience. The spa services were excellent and staff were extremely friendly - which was a nice break from the kids for the weekend. The location was both family-friendly and had plenty of kid-free areas (like a separate pool and the spa). Also both restaurants - Veranda and Avant - were outstanding. We dined with our family on the patio of the Veranda with beautiful live music, and they even provided our Boston terrier great service with a grilled chicken in a dog bowl on the Veranda. Avant was magnificent!…

This was our family’s first time at the Rancho Bernardo Inn. When we planned our trip to the SD Zoo Safari Park it was a recommended hotel, and it did not disappoint!
