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."
BlackBook "Tranquility-seekers, beeline it to RBI. This historic property is a secret garden of peaceful luxury in the midst of the cookie-cutter suburbia that has grown up in its environs."
Condé Nast Traveler "It's a sprawling property with Spanish Colonial-style buildings and gardens throughout." Full review
Time Out "Hidden in the quiet neighborhood of Rancho Bernardo, the Inn makes guests feel worlds away from the busy city." Full review
