I had a lovely stay at Rancho Bernardo Inn. The peaceful grounds and friendly staff made my experience enjoyable. The rooms were spacious, but I did notice they could use some updates and better amenities. While the spa services were fantastic, I found some of the dining options a bit lacking in variety. Overall, it was a relaxing getaway, though you'll want to plan ahead for meals and appointments.

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.
