    I stay at Winner's circle as a mini 24 hour escape mini vaca. I own my home, it's 30 Minutes away. It has become my stress relief gift to myself. I enjoy the quiet, privacy & location to some of my favorite spots in the area. "It's a getaway that resets my energy."Everyone is kind & helpful. I plan to come back once every couple months as my 24 hr reset. The vibe is perfect. Thank you Winners Circle! You are a hidden gem.

    I've stayed here a couple times as it is very conveniently located. Rooms are spacious, grounds are beautiful, plenty of parking, and service has always been wonderful. Each stay was only 1 night, but both times I left saying an extra night to enjoy the amenities would be nice. I see more visits to this hotel are the area in my future. Truly a great nights stay!

    Can I just say WOW! From the room, both floors of our 2 room suite, to the amenities, to the service in the steak house and the drinks and dancing afterwards. What a great experience. My guy and I brought our daughter and son in law to the resort spontaneously and had one of the greatest experiences. We can't wait to bring our other kids back with us. Everyone was so helpful to get us into the steakhouse for late night steak and lobster. (I ended up having a pot pie, that was delicious and reminded me of grandma's home cooking.) Thank you for the recommendations of things to do. Just superb!

    Good afternoon. Where are smoking areas located?

    There was an ash tray on the table on my patio

    What kind of coffee maker do they have in the rooms? Keurig or ground?

    Hello Jenny, We use drip coffee makers and provide complimentary Starbucks. You are welcomed to bring your own ground coffee.

    This is for the Spa…read more.. The spa opens at 7 AM and there I was. I came in through the gates of the gated community and parked in the self parking lot at the spa. Waited in front for five minutes and the doors opened! I felt like putting my face against the window while I waited and say, "open, open, open". I was greeted by a lovely young woman who checked me in and walked me around the grounds to show me around. As I came so early, I had the place to myself for the first two hours. I used the gym, took a swim, went in a couple of Jacuzzis until my girlfriends arrived at 9:30 AM. I'm more of an introvert, so it was perfect. Altogether, we took a yoga class at the beautiful yoga pavilion. We sat by the pool and had a lovely lunch. The food was excellent, including the complementary treats and banana bread. The only negative about the pool was that we were told if we left for more than 20 minutes our belongings would be removed. We couldn't hold our chairs for the day. That was news to us. It was a warm 90° day on a Friday in March and the community and hotel is allowed to use the spa grounds and they all showed up. Every lounge chair was full. Note to self: come Monday through Thursday. The massage: I'm going to say it's one of the best massages I've ever had in my life (and I've been to other five star spas). Pure bliss. Jackie was my masseuse. She listened to me when I asked for stronger pressure and then from there, I went into another world of goodness. She had such love in her eyes when it was all done. This is the most expensive massage I've ever had in my life. Around $400 for a 60 minute massage (with tax and tip) not including lunch. But treating ourselves once in a while is worth it. We felt like we were princesses. Yes, we'll be back. Maybe a while from now to save up our pennies, but we will be back.

    Beautiful Grounds, But Not the Five-Star Experience I Expected…read moreI visited Rancho Valencia on my birthday expecting a true five-star experience, and while there were genuinely lovely moments, the overall visit fell short of what a resort at this level should deliver. A few things worth knowing before you book: they do not offer a day pass. Access to the resort is granted by booking a service through their spa, which is fine in principle. What's not fine is their pricing transparency. The rates listed on their website are not what you'll actually pay. Pricing changes based on demand, time of day, and availability. I received two different booking confirmations for the same treatment at two different prices, neither of which matched what was on their site. When I asked at check-in, they explained their dynamic pricing model casually, as if it were common knowledge. It isn't, and it should be disclosed at the time of scheduling. No one mentioned it when I called to book. The check-in staff was cordial, but the energy made it clear they were sizing me up. It was subtle and perhaps unintentional, but noticeable enough to color the start of my day. The property itself is genuinely beautiful. Lush grounds, a cold plunge, multiple pools, and access to yoga and fitness classes throughout the day. The yoga class I attended was listed as intermediate to moderate, but the instructor, who normally teaches the advanced class, ran it at a moderate to advanced pace. I was the only person in the room at the intermediate level and spent more of the class struggling than unwinding. The food and beverage program is what you'd expect at a resort of this caliber. When I booked my massage, I specifically requested champagne for my birthday. It was noted. It was never offered, not before my treatment, not during, and not after. That kind of detail is exactly what separates a five-star experience from a four-star one, and it was simply forgotten. My massage therapist was outstanding. She was thorough, skilled, and clearly excellent at her craft. She identified tension I didn't even know I was carrying and worked through it with real intention. She was the highlight of the day without question. Rancho Valencia is a stunning property that has the bones of an exceptional experience. But the lack of pricing transparency, the inconsistent service details, and the atmosphere at check-in kept it from living up to its reputation. I'm not sure I'd return.

    Best birthday stay ever!!…read more When I first arrived, I was nervous because I haven't booked a place this fancy before and used Chase Travel to book for the first time. The staff immediately put me at ease and made me feel welcome. Lorenzo greeted me at the front desk and said happy birthday. He also gave me some free drink vouchers to use at the hotel restaurants and upgraded my room! The room was so big and clean and relaxing. My boyfriend has really bad insomnia but he said he actually slept great! I let him sleep in while I explored the hotel cafe and lounged on the balcony. There was a few parties and events going on that day (June 25th) but we couldn't hear a thing, at all. Our suite had a huge soaker tub and a huge shower that came in clutch, they even have complimentary bath salts and all the soaps! If you want more, they sell nice stuff in the gift shop, too. We also went to the cafe for breakfast burritos and coffee and both were a great way to start our day. Highly recommend staying here for a celebration. I felt like royalty and would love to come back. Shout out to Lorenzo and the team!

    I booked a staycation on a Sunday, which happened to fall on Father's Day, using my Amex Platinum…read more Overall it turned into one of my favorite staycations I've had. With the Platinum perks, early check-in and late checkout are often available, but because it was a busy holiday weekend, they couldn't guarantee early check-in. They suggested coming in early and waiting by the pool until a room was available. Parking was easy: self-parking was around $46 per night with valet adding $10 more (roughly $56 total). Self-parking is only a short walk from the entrance so it wasn't inconvenient at all. Check-in itself was quick. The front desk staff provided a property map, and once I got to the room and dropped off my things, the whole resort honestly felt like walking into an oasis. The grounds are beautifully maintained and genuinely stunning. The pool area was enjoyable, but very busy, especially over the weekend. A note for future guests: lounge chairs go fast. I went around 4:30 PM on Sunday and again around 2 PM on Monday and most chairs were already taken. We were able to snag some on Monday, and it helped that the umbrellas can be adjusted for more sun or shade. The pool had a lively feel with families and kids, all well-behaved and enjoying themselves. There's also a nice jacuzzi and a pool bar where you can order food and drinks, plus a solid selection of craft beer. Dinner at Mustangs & Burros was a highlight. The burger was excellent, and the guacamole is a must-order starter. I also used my $100 Amex hotel credit here, which was a plus. The room itself was cute and comfortable, though fairly simple. It had a shower rather than a bathtub. The mattress was on the firmer side for my taste, and I would have appreciated complimentary bottled water in the room, but it was easy enough to have some delivered via Uber Eats. Breakfast at Greenfinch was the most underwhelming part of the stay. The Amex Platinum breakfast benefit covered up to $60 for two, but the quality didn't quite match the rest of the property experience. On the plus side, the resort grounds are incredible. The butterfly sanctuary, botanical garden, and wishing tree add a peaceful, unique touch to the property. I did wish there was a clearer setup for the wishing tree notes, but it was still a charming feature. Overall, the stay was excellent. The service was consistently friendly and efficient, the atmosphere was relaxing, and the property itself is beautiful. Despite a couple of small drawbacks, I would absolutely return. This was an ideal San Diego staycation. One note for future guests: make sure to carefully check your final bill at checkout. I was accidentally double-charged for dinner, charged for valet despite using self-parking, and billed for breakfast. They initially said everything had been adjusted, but I later noticed I had paid for self-parking on my credit card and then again at checkout. One of the restaurant charges also wasn't removed. The staff member I spoke with was very friendly and quick to help resolve it, but it was still a bit frustrating to leave thinking everything was settled, only to have to take additional time afterward to correct the billing issues.

    I'd recommend this resort to absolutely anyone with younger kids! I was a bit hesitant because of…read morereviews I saw online, but my husband asked me to trust his gut and I'm sooooo glad we did. Something big for me when being at a hotel or a resort is feeling comfortable AND welcomed. We went during 4th of July where just for breakfast one morning, they had 600 guests! Although the resort was packed, never once did it feel over crowded. Every place we went, I felt like our presence was appreciated. We also never had to wait to be seated even without reservations. This place really nailed their hospitality. every detail was well thought out! So why would I recommend this for families? For many reasons. Kids are welcomed almost everywhere! They hosted events from morning to sunset during the 4th of July weekend we went. Kids eat FREE all summer for breakfast and lunch (meals before 5) at a few of their restaurants. Then I believe it's half off for dinner! Food was great everywhere we went. Our daughter was too little for most of the events and their bigger kid pools + splash pad, but we did see they have a kids slide! She did love all the places she could run around and their complimentary tote bag! And for the staff- absolutely everyone was so kind, helpful & very welcoming. Most staff members went above and beyond for us. Servers- Jenna was fantastic. Sandra as well! I believe we had an Emma too. We did stay in the Villas by the front entrance. Our rooms were excellent. Clean, spacious and comfortable. Next time, we want to go with friends and family! Lastly- I hear it's near Legoland! We went to the Safari Park and that was a 30 minute, easy drive away. Can't wait to be back. I don't golf so I can't say much about that except for the views being absolutely stunning.

The ac leaked by the doorway, the toilet wouldn't flush properly, and the room had no blankets for the pull out couch. When we asked for more blankets however, a worker brought some so that was nice. The Omni has multiple pools, one with water slides, but I much prefer the smaller pools scattered around the grounds. Everything here is overpriced. Smoothie was 15 dollars. The only reason I got it was because I had a free drink voucher.

    Booked a one-week stay through RCI and got a surprise plot twist on the day of check-in: an email…read more(email only!) saying I was being moved to a "sister resort." No call. No text. I called the next day and was told the resort was overbooked. The solution? Ship me to Sea Wave Resort, which is a downgrade. Apparently, "sister resort" now means lower standards, same disappointment. I asked to be moved to L'Auberge--you know, the place they're affiliated with and even do check-ins for. Suddenly, I'm told they're "not the same company." Interesting, since L'Auberge magically had availability that weekend. Guess problem-solving was sold out too. RCI confirmed that overbooking is not an approved reason to relocate guests. Andrew Faiella, the GM, was about as helpful as the last-minute email. RCI confirmed they were not notified by Villa L'Auberge also on this matter. This mess completely deflated what was supposed to be a special weekend and took about 90 mins of my work morning to figure out. BEWARE if booking this place. You might book one resort and end up at Sea Wave Resort down the street instead--surprise included, consent not required. Hope getting a refund is a breeze. I understand mistakes happen but this is taking too much of my time to deal with and it's THEIR mistake.
