I had a mix of experiences during my stay. The spa was absolutely amazing and a highlight. However, the service at the Pony Room left much to be desired, especially from one bartender who seemed uninterested. Overall, the rooms were luxurious and spacious, making for a comfortable getaway. I appreciated the attentive service at dinner but endured a frustrating check-in process that clouded the start of my stay.

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.
