Really good Restaurant Experience

I had an very nice experience dining at the Avant restaurant. The atmosphere was exceptionally spacious and added to the comfort. The food was immaculate and bursting with flavor; I could have eaten there every day! Dining here truly made my stay special.

Relaxing Spa Day

The spa at Rancho Bernardo Inn was a good experience! Even though I didn't try every treatment, the hydrating facial I had was extremely relaxing. The spa pool was a wonderful addition, providing a tranquil atmosphere that was perfect for unwinding.

Spacious and Comfortable Room

My room was spacious and had all the features I could want for a comfortable stay. The bed was huge and luxurious, making it easy to get a great night's sleep. I also appreciated the plush robes and slippers which added an extra touch of comfort.

Impressive Golf Course

The golf course at Rancho Bernardo Inn was a highlight of my stay. It offered a beautiful setting with lush landscapes. While I enjoyed the serene experience of playing golf, I heard from friends who played that the course was well-maintained and enjoyable.

The hotel boasts beautiful grounds and a fantastic pool, but the overall experience felt a bit lacking, particularly with dining and certain amenities falling short of expectations. While the rooms were nicely decorated, they didn't quite hit the mark in terms of modern comfort, and some facilities need maintenance. Great staff made up for some shortcomings, but I felt the overall value for money wasn't quite there.
