I had a mixed experience at the hotel. While I was really looking forward to my stay, I was taken aback by all the unexpected fees that came with my booking. The rooms were decent, and the dining at the restaurant was a highlight, but the service could really use some improvement, as it felt unwelcoming. Overall, it was a decent place but definitely not the escape I had hoped for, especially considering the extra charges.

I had the most incredible experience at this resort! The staff was truly exceptional, going out of their way to ensure every detail was perfect, and the overall beauty and tranquility of the place made for a dream getaway. While there were a few minor details that could improve, the overall ambiance and service far outweighed any downsides. I can't wait to return!

I enjoyed my stay at the Rancho Bernardo Inn, which is a beautiful property with great outdoor landscaping and amenities like a spa and golf course. However, my experience was marred by inconsistent service and some linked dining disappointments. While the rooms were spacious and comfortable, the dining options didn't quite meet expectations for a resort of this caliber, and the service could definitely use more attention to detail.

Rooms
7.0
The rooms were spacious and comfortable, featuring a mini-fridge stocked with water. However, there was a dripping ceiling from what seemed to be a roof leak on a rainy day, which was a bit concerning.
Service
6.0
Service was hit or miss. While some staff were friendly and attentive, there seemed to be a lack of overall coordination and training among the staff, particularly at the dining venues.
Location
8.0
The location is peaceful and beautifully landscaped, which adds to the pleasant atmosphere and gives a resort feel, even if it does feel a bit like a members-only club at times.
Dining
5.0
Dining was challenging. The food was overpriced for the quality, with average flavor profiles, and the service took too long. Some items stood out, but overall it was disappointing for a high-end resort.
Facilities

The facilities, particularly the spa and grounds, were lovely and well-maintained, making them enjoyable places to spend time.

My partner and I were excited to celebrate a significant milestone at this hotel, but the check-in process really left a sour taste in our mouths. Although the later part of our stay was enjoyable, the troubles we faced during check-in and some room issues were very frustrating. Overall, the hotel has its charm and pleasant areas, but the management needs to step up their game.

The hotel has a stunning view, but the disruptive noise from maintenance activities ruined the experience for me. Although the property is beautiful and well-kept, the early morning leaf blower made it impossible to enjoy a good night's sleep. The staff was apologetic, but it didn't make up for the discomfort. Overall, I expected more from a hotel at this price point.
