I recently had the pleasure of staying at Rancho Valencia on a few special occasions and it was truly delightful! Everything was perfectly on point and I am already looking forward to returning.

My sister and I have just returned from 6 nights at RV. It was my 3rd visit and first visit since the renovation. Honestly, I did not think it needed renovation. It was wonderful before. The rooms are extremely large with large bathrooms with soaking tubs and glass showers and fresh potted orchids and succulents on the side of the... More

I have stayed at Rancho Valencia Spa & Resort three times prior to my last stay and their recent renovation in 2012. They are now under new ownership and management. This is a very beautiful, somewhat secluded resort with quiet, spacious bungalows. My visits have always been in January staying in the Agave King Suites. The suites are very spacious... More

What an ethereal place ! I came for the weekend and did not want to leave. The enormous rooms are decorated to the highest standard, offering an inviting fireplace, a private plunge pool and all the comforts that you would wish for. The bathroom is equally impressive with acres of space and a huge sunken bath. What really makes this... More

We were at Rancho Valencia two years ago before the remodel. The resort is still spectacular and the refreshes are all beautiful. RV has excellent service at every level and gorgeous, spacious suites. The "free snacks" policy is an extra that almost no resort has and is a small but appreciated perk. We were upgraded to a suite with a... More

Spent the night at this wonderful hotel as part of a site visit (looking for a resort to host a physician retreat) on 3/5. This resort was not heavily marketed and I stumbled across it last year. However, they were in the process of a huge makeover ($35million) which was completed November 2012. All of the work really comes out... More

I did not have the most amazing time here, but mostly because I was here on business by myself. I think it would be ideal for a couple wanting a romantic weekend away.
