Inn At Rancho Santa Fe

“Gorgeous!”

The grounds are completely beautiful and serene. We loved walking around the gardens, a perfect little boutique hotel! Also, the interior design is gorgeous!

“Lovely Setting, But Not Worth the Premium Price”

Beautiful grounds and a pleasant overall atmosphere, but the guest rooms feel dated and do not match the premium price point.

Beautiful grounds and a pleasant overall atmosphere, but the guest rooms feel dated and do not match the premium price point. For a short stay, it is fine, but I would not choose this property again expecting a true luxury resort experience. Our room ran out of hot water one evening. After calling engineering, we were told that the water tank serving our set of rooms has a limited supply, so if multiple guests are showering at the same time, there may not be enough hot water. That was disappointing given the cost of the stay. The pool experience was also not what we expected. This is not an adults-only or particularly relaxing pool environment. There were loud children, a bachelorette group on one side of us, and a one-year-old birthday party on the other. We ultimately left because it was too crowded and not relaxing. The pool also felt too small to comfortably accommodate the number of guests. For a resort charging around $3,000 for a three-night stay, I would expect a more elevated and thoughtfully managed pool experience, ideally with separate areas for guests who want a lively atmosphere and those who want a quiet, relaxing one. The spa itself was fine, but my massage was disappointing. The therapist discussed the death of her dog during the treatment, which felt uncomfortable and not appropriate for a relaxing spa experience. Her nails also hurt during the massage and should have been trimmed. She seemed to lose track of time and asked me when the massage had started. She also asked whether I wanted a scalp and face massage, and I said yes, but she ran out of time. The massage consisted of the same motion repeated on my back for the full hour, and I was never asked to turn over. Overall, the property has charm, but the room condition, hot water issue, pool environment, and spa experience did not justify the luxury pricing.

Menos

“some rooms better than others.”

300 level rooms are more like an upscale motel with cars and parking lot right outside. This is not what I expect of an expensive resort. Some parts of the grounds are nice. Only a single very tiny pool. The main building grounds are nice.
