DK Eyewitness "Two-story, red-tile-roof adobe buildings and bougainvillea-adorned patios evoke images of early California at this gracious resort."
Gayot "Three things come to mind when thinking of the Rancho Bernardo Inn (or the RBI as locals call it): classic California style, premier golf and an award-winning spa."
