Everything was great!

Loved everything about our stay. The staff is outstanding - they go above and beyond to accommodate their guests and they are beyond friendly and engaged. The spa was outstanding. Treatments and fitness classes were thoroughly enjoyable. The food was delicious. Our accommodations were lovely.

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.

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.

Stay was perfect in all regards staff phenomenal in the spa the spa pool bar the restaurant

Great resort, enjoyed the spa and restaurants on property. Great service and relaxing stay.

The delightful staff going above and beyond makes an already exceptional stay truly extraordinary. Cannot wait until my next stay. :-)

Best Spa Hotel. Cozy. Private Spa in the olive grove casitas is wonderful, quiet place to be alone. Spa is friendly, classy, well equipped, and has amazing exercise classes with great instructors. well equipped gym. staff is super friendly and mostly accommodating. we went for our anniversary. they did promise to do "something" for our occasion but somehow forgot. we asked for slightly later checkout but most we could get was 1 hr. still....best destination hotel spa in So. Cal.

Amazing!! Perfect service and the rooms are beautiful!

Quiet. Great accommodations. Great SPA. The restaurants are excellent. Tennis is also excellent.

Impeccable service, stunning property, excellent ammeneties.

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.

Wonderful vacation. The service sometimes overbearing but otherwise paradise!

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.

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

We booked a 3 night stay at Rancho Valencia to play some tennis, since it is one of the highest rated tennis resorts in America. This place is really over the top from a luxury standpoint and overall experience. The villas are really perfect, the staff is great, attention to details (includes fresh squeezed orange juice each morning), restaurants, bar and room service amazing, and the tennis program was really impressive as well. We will want to come back here again.

A delightful place to get away for a few days. Enjoyed the sunset from The Pony Room deck. Attention to details sets this hotel apart. Also enjoyed the shop, Sheridan at Rancho Valencia.

Please do something with the matress and the pillows smell bad; need to get new ones

This is the best resort that I have ever been. Quiet, comfortable, wonderful services, awful sheets, and shampoos. My wife also enjoyed the massage, although the spa had not been completed.

When I built my most recent trip, Expedia listed this resort as the only 5-start resort that popped up in my search results, so I booked it. Needless to say, it didn't disappointed. There are no 'rooms' persay, just 800sq ft and bigger cottages all over the 45 arce grounds that you rent. The room was clean and bed was extremely comforatable (Pillow-top mattress and down comforter). Full cable minus the movie channels and prompt/delicious room services caters to the people that would rather stay in and its location in Del Mar caters to the high-class folks that want to go out and really live it up in La Jolla. We visited Seaworld and San Diego Zoo, both were about 30min drive with semi heavy traffic.
