Mary
Expected more updated rooms (beds and bedding could have been taken up a notch) with less glitches (TVs weren’t working properly, WiFi was a challenge) for the price. The all inclusive mini bar, champagne at check in were all nice touches but a bit outdated for the cost, especially as it’s not on the ocean.
Candice
Very nice property and customer service. Spa is wonderful and accessible even without a service which is a huge plus. Fresh squeezed OJ every morning is a nice touch!

Everything was perfect. From the welcome at the gate, a quick and informative check in process, the spa with the best deep tissue massages, dinner, breakfast, drinks, it was a perfect place for a quick getaway.
Rachel
Tennis courts and staff are top notch. Rooms are very large and luxurious. Staff is super accomodating and make you feel special. All in all, we felt like royalty.
Silvana Da
Everything - it's a fantastic property with great service.
Meghan
Gorgeous with meh food and spotty service.
Casitas and property is stunning! Rooms are clean and comfortable. We went with kids age 10 and 8 and they loved the pool and our room. Only areas for improvement are: 1) staffing the family pool during the week, not just the weekend. It's a SPENDY place to not have somebody taking lunch and drink orders at the pool. We had to dial in the order and wait a fairly long time to get it. 2) Food is VERY mediocre, and of course incredibly over-priced for what it is. 3) The amount of plastic water bottles used is a little embarrassing; seems they could get with the eco-program and find a better way to do this without all the waste. Hoping that the ramp-up after COVID may bring the service and food program up a notch. I'd need that to return at this price tag!

The Best-Rancho Valencia!
Rancho Valencia is one of the best high end hotels I’ve stayed in. Rooms come with fireplace and are comfortable, close to dining options. Also a very nice gym and spa. Five Stars!

Everything from the welcoming reception, the friendly staff, the room and amenities was phenomenal. We also loved the Velladora restaurant and the Pony Room bar.

Champagne sabering with Dan was the perfect welcome to our arrival.

Our new favorite indulgence
Where to begin ... our first introduction to the Resort was at the guard gate. The gentleman greeted us with a Happy Birthday Mr .... - I had informed them it was my husband’s bday weeks ago when I made the reservation for his birthday dinner. After we were escorted to our beautiful villa (with Bday surprises throughout), I realized I had forgotten to pack a round brush to style my hair. I contacted the front desk and after searching the spa, gift shops, etc they concluded (with my help) that they did not have a brush that would satisfy my style needs :) ... but low and behold ... a round brush appeared in my room. They had sent someone to the local CVS (?) to buy one for me. This attention to detail and constant pampering continued throughout our stay: ice pops made with fresh fruit AND chilled watermelon delivered poolside, fresh squeezed OJ with newspaper of your choice delivered each morning, fabulous food and service at both onsite restaurants, outstanding pool service and well- equipped gym, a massage that began with a luxurious down comforter and ended with a wellness-shot of green goodness, spa robes that felt like the a billowy cotton cloud... the ONLY thing that would have improved our stay was a makeup mirror for my old, failing eyes... but I’m sure if I had asked, it would have appeared on the counter in our villas’ palatial bathroom.

Hotel not staffed for full occupancy
The hotel was understaffed in the restaurant and did not have have enough servers. The servers were doing their best but were overwhelmed at breakfast and lunch. In fact we only saw 2 servers and people were complaining. Hotel is definitely not 5 star caliber. The breakfast table for continental breakfast needs significant upgrade and is not what we find at other 5 star hotels. The food in the veladora was very dissappointing, and in fact was not good at all. Food was served cold and tasteless.
Verified traveler
Wonderful vacation. The service sometimes overbearing but otherwise paradise!

Service still need improvement.Overall was a great weekend. The spa was great.
Doug
Always a special \"treat\" to stay here as one can truly relax. Excellent service and amenities, plus privacy and beautiful scenery make it our favorite hotel in the San Diego area. Not cheap, but well worth the money if you want to get away and relax.

Exceptional Property
This is a spectacular property from the grounds to the service. We were met with champagne, and given an overview of the property. Efraim showed us to our room and was extremely helpful and professional. The grounds are beautiful and we were fortunate enough to stay in the Olive Garden Suite which was very private with a waterfall not too far away. The next morning started with fresh squeezed orange juice! If you have an opportunity to stay here, take advantage of it!
Deb
Like Shangri-la!
This will be one of our new favorite places to go! The staff were friendly and greeted us by name consistently; and they were always helpful with whatever we needed. The spa is amazing and so relaxing. And the entire atmosphere
and area was not only beautiful but tranquil and idyllic!

This stay excited my marriage!
From start to finish this place had me hooked! I should probably preface this review with the fact that I work in hospitality and am especially critical of the entire foreplay of the guest experience. It began with a call from the resort the day of our arrival about 11am. The associate went over my reservation details and made sure I knew all of the amenities they offered as well as asking which if any I would be interested in. When we arrived, although we requested early check in and they weren't able to accommodate that, we were extended the utmost hospitality with offerings of champagne or tea during our check in. I will note that the website does state check in is at 3pm and our room wasn't ready until after 4. We went to the Pony Room for a bite to eat, a bit to drink and some good conversation. The only remark I would have for this restaurant is that our waiter, though not the slightest would the place be considered \"busy\", was nearly like a ghost. I ended up asking other staff for things like when we wanted to order and when we were ready to leave we needed the tab. And then again when I needed him to collect the tab Chad again was no where to be found.
I called the front desk to ask if our room was ready though they told us they would call, but even these minute issues didn't at all affect our experience or my vibe about the place.

Best Resort & Spa in Southern California
We have a 5 Star experience every time we visit Rancho Valencia; hands down, the best resort and spa in Southern California. The visit can be expensive, but worth every penny of it if you want to vacation in style or like a \"celebrity\".

Luxury hotel
Studio Suite was wonderful. Large with seating area and open fire. Bathroom was enormous with jacuzzi bath and large shower cubicle. Resort lovely and quiet, lots of trees and plants, outdoor pool very well heated.
Food in the casual restaurant was very good, didn't use the other one.
All staff friendly, turndown service and room cleaning was always when we were out so not intrusive
Nice touch is fresh orange juice left by your front door early morning.
Mini bar and snacks included
Will definitely return

beware the thermostat
excellent facility and staff in general, except housekeeper who adjusts the thermostat to the tundra range and forgets to put it back to a more comfortable range. In the middle of the night the thermostat is impossible to figure out or turn off

First of all, this resort is not cheap, however, you definitely get treated like royalty here and for me, worth the price.
I have visited this resort 10+ times and have always had A+ experience, ALWAYS! The staff is friendly and professional; the rooms (houses) are in great condition and always clean; you have your own space and privacy, the restaurant has excellent food and service, valet is fast and friendly, the grounds are well kept, beautiful, and organized. If you want some privacy and a place to relax with 5+ Star service, this should be your selection. HIGHLY recommend!!

Wonderful resort!
Great resort, nice amenities. Loved the fresh squeezed orange juice every morning with the paper. Great tennis lessons. Nice spa and fitness center with a variety of Pilates, yoga and spin classes. Good proximity to Del Mar and La Jolla for beach and restaurants. Really enjoyed the week we spent here. It was a shame to leave for the day to visit the San Diego Zoo or other attractions.
