Rancho Valencia Review

Went for lunch. Service was great and the food was delicious.

Nice resort hotel. You have to go through the gate to get in. The bar has a nice view

The spa at Rancho Valencia is serene and peaceful. They always take great care of you.

This is a major asset to Hampton Inn because you can load up on protein in the morning to keep you going for the rest of the day. The staff was very friendly. The beds were extremely comfortable and the room was clean. From my view out of my window I could see the Hollywood sign in the distance, so that was cool. This Hampton Inn is in a great location, within walking distance of Hollywood Blvd and the major attractions like the Dolby and Chinese theaters, Amoeba Music, and the Walk Of Fame. I would most definitely stay at this Hampton Inn location again on my next trip to Los Angeles.

The best place and impeccable service as well as the super luxurious rooms and the best location to go exploring

We had our wedding here and spent 3 nights at the hacienda house on property. Everything was top notch, the service was great, the property and accommodations are definitely 5 stars, the food at the wedding and at the restaurants was amazing, every single person was friendly and helpful. All of our family that stayed here was beyond happy. Thank you so much to Nikki and the rest of the staff.

Took my Wife for Valentines Day and Kristi made sure we had a good visit. Beautiful spa and great customer service.

Relaxed Luxury and top-tier service make this one of the best resort/spas in the nation. To be pampered completely. This place is yours!

The ambience is Rancho Santa Fe. Casual upscale. They used to have the best happy hour but got to popular and prices jumped. Staff A+!

Outstanding resort nestled into the crest of the hills of Rancho Santa Fe. Comfortable and the amenities are wonderful.

Fantastic bar with live music and amazing patio view, great restaurant. Very romantic.

I attended a birthday party in the terrace room. From the minute I pulled up to the valet, the service was a 10/10. The grounds are beautiful and the staff is friendly and welcoming.

Unbelievable spa. They even arrange a tennis match for me.

Visited rancho Valencia to see the in-laws. It is the most beautiful resort I have ever been too. Truly a luxurious place to be in San Diego. They were very accommodating to us by bringing us a space heater for the backyard. We had room service from the pony club including the sliders, lobster tacos, and more. The calamari was the only dish that was a let down. Overall this is a wonderful place to be!

One of the best places for Sunday brunch in North County. Outdoor patio seating offers great views. Kids have a great field to explore and play on which are overlooked from your seating. If you like tennis, it s got the the best courts in San Diego.

Met some friends here for dinner/drinks. The food was fantastic along with the specialty cocktails. Well worth the visit, and will be back here more often.

Beautiful place. We were told that it felt like going into heaven, and that turned out to be true. One of the lost beautiful and relaxing places i've gone to. There's fireplaces, pools, a gym, a yoga and meditation designated areas, tennis courts, free snacks and coffee, you name it. A living dream.

very nice setting, for well-furnished wallets. Quality service

Wonderful property. Staff was very attentive. Food was great. Can't wait to come back.

The Pony Room is a hidden secret - hopefully it remains that way. Great food and drinks, as well as a great ambiance.

It's a shame that the customer service is subpar, at best. I booked a few treatments for my wife and myself. The treatments were good but I called to provide feedback about the amenities and I spoke with Jennifer who was rude and not friendly. I asked to speak to her manager and was told that Lauren was in a meeting but I could leave her a voicemail. Before I was transferred Jennifer told me that her manager Lauren let her know the results and that I would not need to leave a voicemail. The answer did not make sense to me so I asked to speak with Lauren directly. I was told no, that she already told me the answer and that Lauren was busy. When I asked again Jennifer got very hostile and stated that the issue was my fault. I ended up finally speaking to Lauren who did not seem concerned in the least but trued to push the blame over to the food services vs. spa. Overall, not worth my time and energy to try and help improve the customer experience when they clearly do not care.

It's a top rated beautiful resorts & spa

Awesome

Beautiful resort with fantastic amenities including an amazing spa and gym, top tier tennis courts, basketball courts, restaurants and way more. Overall, the best hotel you could ask for.

Top notch dining and service. Beautiful location. I have dined here many times and helped manage an event for 130 people. The evening was spectacular and the staff very accommodating.

I haven't stayed but I take a lot of clients there. I love the property and they love the stay

Great hotel, great location. It is a beautiful place.

Possibly one of the most beautiful San Diego wedding venues I've ever photographed! If you are looking for a European/Mediterranean destination wedding vibe while staying home in San Diego, I highly recommend using this space for your big day :D As a wedding photographer... it is a DREAM to work at. Here are a few photos to showcase the space (taken by Alexandria Monette Photography).

Excellence beyond measure. Service is fabulous, the property is beautiful, peaceful and hidden away. Gorgeous suites that are so beautiful- the comfort and aesthetic is beyond perfect and makes you feel so pampered.
The fresh orange juice in the morning is simply addictive!! The food is delicious as well.
I am such a big fan of this resort! Highly highly recommend.

Rooms were amazing. Staff was very friendly and attentive. Facilities were well maintained.

I went to a wedding at Rancho Valencia and it was a beautiful venue. We got lucky with the weather, but the fire place and patio were perfect for our small group.

What's not to love at Rancho Valencia? Polo bar is favorite for food and drinks any time of the day. Service is exceptional. Take in a spa treatment or play a game or croquet before of after. Lovely setting.

Amazing hospitality and amazing location. They allow to rent Porsche cars for few hours which are well maintained. The things to do are limited for multiple day stay.

Set on 45 acres of gardens and olive groves, this lavish resort is 6 miles from the Del Mar Racetrack and 10 miles from Torrey Pines State Natural Reserve.

Absolutely beautiful with excellent service and food.

Beautiful resort. A Conpletely worth while weekend getaway.
The staff here are really amazing. Very polite and always helpful.

I had dinner here for a work event with about 10 people, and was fortunate to taste quite a lot of the menu. Everything was pretty excellent all around, including several apps, entrees, and desserts. I don't think I'll ever forget that iberico pork tenderloin. One of the best things I've ever tasted! The staff was also very friendly, fun, and knowledgeable about the food. This place is pricey but well worth it for a special occasion. I will definitely return for another meal someday, hopefully sooner rather than later!

Spend the $$ it's worth it!! Great accommodations, friendly staff, amazing stay!

An excellent luxurious and beautiful place to relax and unwind super well

Rancho Valencia is a hidden jewel. The relaxed setting, the luxurious amenities, the highly professional and caring staff, make Rancho Valencia an excellent location to enjoy their delicious food and drink at the restaurants.

So proud to be part of the Wellness Collective for Rancho Valencia!

Rancho Valencia Resort & Spa was one of the finest properties that I have ever visited. I made our reservation for a spring break trip months ago but soon after making it, I received a call from the resort staff confirming and thanking me for booking; this was a well appreciated touch.

From the moment that we gave our name at the gate, our cares drifted away. The bellman greeted us by name and escorted us to check in (which was seamless). Complimentary beverages were offered. The bellman then escorted us to our room (a beautiful Valencia Suite). The room was outstanding. Since we were traveling with our two children the staff readily accommodated our request to make up the (very comfortable) sofa bed as well as an extra bed which fit easily in the large living room. The decor and comfort of the room stood out. The very private outdoor patio was one of the highlights of the accommodations; the whirlpool spa and outdoor fireplace added to the intimacy and fun of the experience.

The food was outstanding. We ate breakfast (in-room dining) on the patio every day and it was delightful. We had a lovely sunset dinner at The Pony Room; although the food was outstanding, the service that evening was unusually slow.

The pool was especially fun for our family. All needs appeared to have been thought of ahead of time. We forgot googles...they were there...we forgot a flotation device for our toddler ...it was there. Poolside sunscreen, abundant towels and ready access to poolside lunch made for an unexpectedly long relaxing pool day for our family.

The resort and staff went well beyond my expectations and left our family feeling relaxed and connected. We look forward to another visit.

Gathering for a Ladies event Christmas luncheon & Fashion show. Excellent dishes and wonderful service. This is a yearly event.

Beautiful resort. Pony room had good drinks and food. It little too fancy for me.

Spectacular. A special oasis for those who need an escape, some pampering and/or some luxury. You will find it all here. We stayed in a brilliantly appointed, ultra - private Casitas that felt like home, if your home has the most amazing bed, linens & pillows, a jacuzzi, a steam shower and a robot toilet!
As for the property, it is lush, immaculate and inviting. The Pony Bar is a place you MUST go to multiple times, trust me.
I cannot wait to return (especially because I heard they are building pickleball courts!

Nice place for a fairly expensive meal! A little bit in the middle of nowhere, but the service was very good, as was the skirt steak salad I had. The cookie dessert we had was also good. Would go back.

This is heaven on earth. Paying close to a grand a day, I reckon, will have people paying attention to you, as they have to us. We have visited the spa- a breath taker for sure and have enjoyed a quiet night eating at the resort's restaurant, Veladora- an amazing experience like no other! My wife and I have already decided we want to come back, as often and as much as possible! This is truly heavenly!

Was there for a wedding. Great venue. Attentive staff and excellent food.

Best Breakfast in SanDiego! friendly staff. ultra courteous and luxurious. will be frequenting this hidden gem.

Beautiful resort with excellent restaurants, spa, pools, and fitness classes. Also offers tennis. Suites are spacious, comfortable, and clean. You can borrow (for free) one of two Porsches for a few hours! The service is exceptional. The vacation packages can be a great deal during off peak times. Highly recommended.

This is one of the most beautiful resorts I've seen. I used to live nearby and we frequently went to eat at their restaurant. Lovely Spanish Colonial architecture, it has the feel of a very large Hacienda , from the mosaic tiles all over the place, the courtyard with a fountain in the middle, the impecable restrooms, I remember I loved the painting of a blue door in the area of the reception. The grounds are impecable, the food at the restaurant is delicious.

The best of the best !!! I look forward to returning over and over again !!!

Pony Express is a great margarita! Sliders, ceviche, all good.

Very peaceful, relaxing environment with beautiful landscaping and an amazing restaurant.

We enjoyed lunch here. It was fabulous in all respects

Rancho Valencia Resort & Spa is a multi-award winning luxury relaxation and lodging location for overnight, recreation, spa & wellness and romantic getaways. The bungalows are very comfortable and there are visually invigorating pathways traversing the grounds, Veladora and the Pony Room both source from some of the most notable farms in the country to insure only the best and freshest ingredients to create visually interesting and exceptional menu items.

Gorgeous resort. We had a function for Ronald McDonald House San Diego here and the food was fantastic, the ambiance beautiful and the staff superb!

We at at the restaurant as part of a non profit event. The food and service was absolutely incredible.

Had lunch at Veladora. Food was great. Service could have been better. Waiter was nice but we had to wait a long time to get water. Overall good experience.

Casually elegant chef top of the line. Never disappointed in the spa services.

One of the most exclusive and safe places in San Diego .. !!
