Rancho Valencia Resort and Spa

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!

Heavenly!!!!! Everything was exceptional!!!!

The most relaxing property in San Diego. The staff are excellent, friendly and always ready to assist. The room was superb. This is our go to happy place in San Diego.

So relaxing. Perfect place to unwind.

It was a perfect get away for our anniversary!

Thank you for making our Father’s Day weekend unforgettable. We’ll definitely be coming back!

Nice place, a little noisy as we were near the pool

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.

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.

Fresh orange juice delivered to your door daily. AMAZING tennis courts and coaches for the tennis enthusiast. Beautiful setting and lovely restaurant. Communication between staff members were not great - we had to call three times to get the sofa bed made up for our child and by the time housekeeping arrived it was very late at night.

pretty much everything. great staff. wonderful food. it was quite pricey. If I have to stretch the parking spaces are small, but it wasn’t at capacity so that wasn’t a problem.

Everything - it's a fantastic property with great 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!

No fine dining , very average dining options , better to go off property , great local restaurant Mille Fleur

The casitas are very well appointed. Possibly the best bathroom I’ve ever had, the Japanese toilet and steam shower are winners! The patio with hot tub and the sunsets and hot air balloons. The fresh orange juice delivered to your door, and all of the food from the restaurant that we tried was amazing. The lemon ricotta pancakes for breakfast and the lobster tacos for lunch were stand outs. The spa/spa pool area is under construction. There is a fully serviced other pool which was lovely, but you should check where your appointments are if you are having treatments.

Very well maintained property. Quiet and peaceful. Very attentive to details in the decor, staff and amenities. The spa wasn't available because it was being renovated.

Absolutely gorgeous place. Top notch all the way. Very happy with the full experience.

Incredible stay! The staff made this a world class stay, so pleased! Beautiful property!

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!

I only wish I had more time to stay there! We arrived at 8 pm and stayed one night only, but the staff made sure we made the most of it.

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

They really did think of everything and service was subtle, but excellent. Was sorry mine was such a short stay. Can’t wait to go back for a longer stay and explore and enjoy more.

It was absolutely amazing!!!! The best customer service and hospitality!!

Impeccable service, stunning property, excellent ammeneties.

Wonderful property. Would go back. Family vacation with two young children.

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!

Service still need improvement.Overall was a great weekend. The spa was great.

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.

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!

and area was not only beautiful but tranquil and idyllic!

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.

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".

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

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

Loved everything about our stay at Rancho Valencia and would highly recommend this resort to anyone.

The weather was great & the resort was wonderful!!

Always a treat to stay here. The staff and property is outstanding. Take time to enjoy it all and for sure, you will want to come back.

Amazing! Totally worth it.

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!!

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.

Is great I highly recommend it . Much nicer than the grand Del mar

Fantastic serene ambience

Nice

I have no words to explain how this place is. We originally planned to stay there one night then we left to check into another hotel.. Well we waked into the room and checkout immediately and run back to the rancho...this is how peacefull amazing it is. Service top

Seclusion, privacy, luxury, spaciousness, fine dining, attention to details: Everything is perfect about this property. Everything.
