5 stars all the way. This property is quite lovely, especially if you’re out all day at the San Diego Zoo and/or Safari Park. The grounds are relaxing, pools quite nice, restaurants OK but there are great options in town, rooms are true resort-level rooms. We LOVED it here. Came with our 13yo daughter.

Everyone at the property are extremely nice. When we checked in we were not having a great afternoon and were full of frustrations from a different hotel. The front desk employee was so nice to us and turned our day around. He was accommodating and gave us the best possible room for our budget. The inns vibes were great as well. The grounds are well maintained and has such a classic look. We came during movie night and my kids had a great time watching the movie and swimming at the same time. We will be coming back.

Rancho Bernardo Inn - Little Gem of a Place

What a beautiful resort. We were stoked to find this little gem. The grounds are huge and very well kept. There was lots going on as it was the 4th of July weekend. If you're a golfer, check this place out. It was very kid-friendly. Next time I would ask to not be by the family pool as it was on the louder side. There's an adult pool and a pool specifically for spa clients. The Spa pool was gorgeous. Great but small gym. Will definitely go back.
