I've lived in San Diego's east county all my life and I've been to Borrego Springs hundreds of times for work and play. And La Casa de Zorro blows me away. Not at all what you expect from a small desert community. The rooms are very large and very nice. Ours was a double queen in the Primrose building first floor. Fireplace (wood burning), larger shower separate tub and a patio leading to the pool and Jacuzzi. We're here in January so temps are 70's Joe a high and 40's at night. Beautiful for walking the immaculately landscaped grounds on this 42 acres. 26 pools, most heated, three dining venues including a rose garden terrace that's very romantic. Excellent bar and a very friendly bartender, Joaney.
In town there are now upscale eateries like Red Ocotillo and Keslings Kitchen as well as the old stand by bars and grilles of the biker days. And Chef Jeremy from Jeremy's On The Hill in Wynola has taken over the kitchen at the Rams Hill Golf Club.
It's not the old Borrego and it deserves another look from everyone.
