Rancho Valencia Resort and Spa

Rancho Valencia is one of the best high end hotels I’ve stayed in. Rooms come with fireplace and are comfortable, close to dining options. Also a very nice gym and spa. Five Stars!

Everything from the welcoming reception, the friendly staff, the room and amenities was phenomenal. We also loved the Velladora restaurant and the Pony Room bar.

Champagne sabering with Dan was the perfect welcome to our arrival.

Where to begin ... our first introduction to the Resort was at the guard gate. The gentleman greeted us with a Happy Birthday Mr .... - I had informed them it was my husband’s bday weeks ago when I made the reservation for his birthday dinner. After we were escorted to our beautiful villa (with Bday surprises throughout), I realized I had forgotten to pack a round brush to style my hair. I contacted the front desk and after searching the spa, gift shops, etc they concluded (with my help) that they did not have a brush that would satisfy my style needs :) ... but low and behold ... a round brush appeared in my room. They had sent someone to the local CVS (?) to buy one for me. This attention to detail and constant pampering continued throughout our stay: ice pops made with fresh fruit AND chilled watermelon delivered poolside, fresh squeezed OJ with newspaper of your choice delivered each morning, fabulous food and service at both onsite restaurants, outstanding pool service and well- equipped gym, a massage that began with a luxurious down comforter and ended with a wellness-shot of green goodness, spa robes that felt like the a billowy cotton cloud... the ONLY thing that would have improved our stay was a makeup mirror for my old, failing eyes... but I’m sure if I had asked, it would have appeared on the counter in our villas’ palatial bathroom.

Stay was perfect in all regards staff phenomenal in the spa the spa pool bar the restaurant

Great resort, enjoyed the spa and restaurants on property. Great service and relaxing stay.

The delightful staff going above and beyond makes an already exceptional stay truly extraordinary. Cannot wait until my next stay. :-)

Best Spa Hotel. Cozy. Private Spa in the olive grove casitas is wonderful, quiet place to be alone. Spa is friendly, classy, well equipped, and has amazing exercise classes with great instructors. well equipped gym. staff is super friendly and mostly accommodating. we went for our anniversary. they did promise to do "something" for our occasion but somehow forgot. we asked for slightly later checkout but most we could get was 1 hr. still....best destination hotel spa in So. Cal.

Amazing!! Perfect service and the rooms are beautiful!

I only wish I had more time to stay there! We arrived at 8 pm and stayed one night only, but the staff made sure we made the most of it.
