We just returned from an unforgettable week at Rancho Valencia Resort and Spa. The luxurious accommodations were a dream, especially with our spacious villa featuring a private patio and hot tub. The dining experience, particularly at The Pony Room, was simply outstanding, making every meal a pleasure. However, a mix-up with a surprise dinner left us feeling disappointed, especially given the resort's otherwise stellar service. Overall, it's a beautiful place but be cautious with special arrangements.
