Rancho Bernardo Inn

Rancho Bernardo Inn feels like stepping into a living film set—an elegant blend of old-world Spanish charm and Southern California ease. By day, the architecture is warm and timeless, with courtyards, arches, and details that feel carefully preserved rather than staged. It has the atmosphere of a classic resort that knows exactly what it is. At night, the property becomes genuinely magical. Soft lights woven through trees and along walkways transform the grounds into a glowing landscape, creating the sensation of wandering through a beautifully imagined world—almost cinematic, almost surreal. With California evenings staying comfortably warm, nighttime strolls here feel unhurried and immersive. This is not just a place to stay; it is an experience designed with intention. Thoughtful lighting, cohesive architecture, and a calm, luxurious rhythm make Rancho Bernardo Inn feel timeless, transportive, and memorable long after you leave.

Absolutely wonderful place to stay in the north San Diego area. The service is outstanding. We forgot our dogs bed in the room and didn't realize until later that day. The employees went above and beyond to help us get it back. The food service was also outstanding. The hotel is older, but so well maintained. The grounds are beautiful and lush. We will go back again!!

First time staying at this fabulous property and every family member had an amazing experience! The entire RBI staff was very accommodating and welcoming from the second we checked in until our departing day. Location was in a very quiet neighborhood which was a mile away to amenities if needed. Extremely impressed with the resort, our room was at the Greens building with a beautiful view of the 10th hotel. Room was pristine with all the right luxurious touches.||Husband had an early tee time and said the whole process of checking in for tee time was utterly seamless. He keeps raving about the course he said not a blade in the grass was out of place :)||Visited the cafe/coffee shop excellent latte drinks and pastries. Had breakfast at the Veranda Fireplace sat outside under the gorgeous weather! Food was smashingly delish...extra points for those potatoes! Wasn't able to take advantage of the spa due to our busy schedule which was my only regret but will definitely do it next time.|Wish we could've stayed longer!

Had a good time staying at the hotel! The property is beautiful, room is a little bit dated but had a gorgeous view of the golf course. ||The golf course is beautiful, resort fee covers driving range access as well. ||Special thanks to Jay at the Golf shop! Took a lesson with her it was super helpful and a lot of fun.

Had a wonderful stay the week before Christmas at Rancho Bernardo Inn. We just loved all the beautiful Christmas trees and had a fantastic experience with all the staff. When we first arrived Ashlynn helped us get checked in and actually upgraded us to a room with a fire pit. While we waited my ten-month old and I went to Veranda restaurant and everyone was so kind from the wait staff to the member of the IT team that offered to walk us in the right direction when we got turned around. I also had a facial on the trip, which was excellent! Lastly, my son was a very early riser with the time difference so walking around the gorgeous grounds in early morning walks was a huge plus! Definitely recommend and hope we can come back.

When we arrived we were greeted by Ben Garcia and his team members. They were very welcoming. Ben showed us around the Resort. He was very accommodating. Our stay was very comfortable. The resort is beautiful and the food was good! The service we had was great! My only disappointment was we had to leave too soon. We will definitely be back! Thank you again Ben if I could give more stars I sure would!

Comfortable room with lovely view, nice bath tub separate from shower, great service. Nice breakfasts & golf. Bar so so service and food, but lovely outdoor seating, music and good drinks. We would have loved to have tried the main restaurant.
