Rancho Valencia Resort and Spa

This place is great. Wonderful tennis facility, good food and beautiful gardens. Also pet friendly! We had a great family get away.

Rancho Valencia is the epitome of a well designed and thoughtful resort replete with beautiful guest rooms (casitas), common amenities like a culinary garden, chicken coop, and waterfall you can visit, tennis on site, an excellent spa (offering delicious bone broth complimentary) with daily access to the wet areas, and on site dining options. The property is beautiful and the staff is excellent. We very much enjoyed our stay and will return.

An outstanding property. Service and food was terrific. The spa and pool area were great. Our room is one of the best we ever have stayed in.

Beautiful property, luxurious, excellent housekeeping, fitness center and spa. Pluses—Pony Dining room, especially outdoor seating was lovely, dinner delicious, though they often run out of the daily specials early (7:30PM). Complimentary mini-bar with snacks, large beautifully appointed rooms, great staff. Fresh orange juice delivered to our room each morning is a lovely addition. Room service was excellent. Excellent personal trainer (Ricky), massages and other spa services. Misses—too many outdoor events, weddings, children’s parties etc that are noisy and distracting in the set up. The area is adjacent to guest rooms and the dining room, so noise and assembling and disassembling was distracting and noisy for a luxury property. Breakfast service was slow, so slow we were comped one breakfast, we had to leave before it was fully served.

i am a very experinced traveler. this hotel in the best i have seen in terms of staff services, food, housekeeping - they really go out of their way very wiilingly to help guests. they do not act like you are imposing on them even when you are actullay imposing on them.
