Rancho Bernardo Inn

Our stay at Rancho Bernardo Inn was absolutely exceptional. From the moment we arrived, everyone we encountered was genuinely so kind, welcoming, and eager to make our experience special. The level of care and attentiveness really sets this property apart. The staff were incredible, the property was stunning. The grounds were beautifully maintained the and the atmosphere was lively. There are so many amenities and activities offered that it truly feels like its own destination. We were about to relax, golf, dine, and explore. There was always something to enjoy! The RB Inn is the most wonderful combination of luxury, comfort, and hospitality. We left planning our return trip already and cannot recommend this property or its amazing team highly enough.

My wife and I have been coming to Rancho Bernardo Inn since 2011, when we stayed here at the start of our honeymoon. Ever since, we’ve made it a tradition to return nearly every year to celebrate our birthdays or our anniversary—and it never disappoints. Over the years, the property has continued to evolve, with thoughtful updates and improvements that enhance the experience while preserving the charm and character that made us fall in love with it in the first place. The staff consistently goes out of their way to make each visit feel special and personal, which is a big reason we keep coming back. The on-site dining is excellent—both The Veranda and AVANT offer outstanding food, and we’ve never had a bad meal. Adding meals ahead of time is a great value and makes the stay even more relaxing. The spa is also amazing and a true highlight of the property—peaceful, luxurious, and the perfect way to unwind. The only area for potential improvement would be the comfort of the beds, which could be updated to better match the otherwise exceptional experience. Rancho Bernardo Inn holds a special place for us, and we look forward to returning for many years to come.

Stayed here for work and the place was great. Beautiful hotel and so nice to walk around. The food at the restaurant was sooooo good!

Nadia, hostess at the Veranda, is wonderful Jen and Dylan at the Cafe are helpful, kind, and personable.

We are giving this 2 stars because it does not in any way live up to the prices that they charge for a room. Yes, the inn itself is beautiful, but once inside the room, we found that things were pretty bare-bones. One small bar of soap (for 2 sinks and a shower), one robe (for 2 people), zero complimentary bottles of water ($11 bottles were available). These are the kinds of things we expected for a room (not a suite) that cost $450 for one night, so we were surprised to see the hotel be stingy with little things like that. On top of that, they charged us $40 to park when there was a huge open parking lot. Why charge hotel guests for parking when there is plenty of space? One more way to rip us off. There are few other options available in the area, which is probably how they get away with their ridiculous charges. We would not stay here again. Not worth it at all.
