    THIS is for the Spa and the Spa only. DO BETTER!! Every single time I try to book an appointment I get either (a) put on hold forever or (b) eventually sent to your voicemail. YOU ARE A 5 STAR PROPERTY and you can't answer the phone for your $$ spa treatments?? How is this possible? I have never ever had an issue booking a spa service at a 5-star property except here. While I have stayed here a year ago (and the property is nice and rooms are nice), the SERVICE getting anything from the Spa is HORRIBLE!! DO BETTER!!

    My wife and I accidentally booked a spa treatment here on our honeymoon, but we’re staying 3 hours away. We called within a couple hours after booking once we realized our mistake. They refused to budge on their cancellation policy at all and charged us the full amount. We understand that it was totally our mistake but I can’t imagine that anyone else would have booked the same appointment within that hour time window and they had no empathy for the situation. I’m sure the spa is great, but charging the full amount to a couple on their honeymoon with no option to get there is a real annoying move

    Amazing all around. You feel transported to the Mediterranean the moment you walk in beautiful, intentional luxury that feels soulful, welcoming, and never finicky.

    Rancho Valencia is full-stop, the best resort we've visited on the planet - this includes dozens of all-inclusive resorts, cruise lines, and 5-star hotels across the globe. They obsess over providing incredible service. You will not be disappointed with a stay here!

    Room, service, location, all deserving a 5 star review! Everything is amazing, from the restaurant to the rooms, the Spa, the pool, and especially the suites with your own jacuzzi! Maybe a bit expensive but sometimes you have to pay the price for excellence. Ideal for a relationship ing weekend.
