Condé Nast Traveler
Fodor's "Public areas have a distinctive Spanish theme with furnishings hand creafted in Mexico, and there are mature gardens, walking trails, an expanded spa with an adjecent fitness center, two pools, yoga pavilion, and Pilates studio"
Jetsetter "And kids will definitely be coaxed out of the pool with promises of trips to Legoland, the San Diego Zoo, or Sea World San Diego"
Mr & Mrs Smith "I was sitting by my blissful lonesome at the near-isolated lap pool of Rancho Valencia, a luxury resort in Rancho Santa Fe, where the glamour arrives discreetly packaged, and the colour-scheme was of an edifying tangerine and a Moorish blue"
Condé Nast Traveler "Our sources tell us the sunken living rooms and pool-party sized bathrooms are equally inviting, and the beds are the best they've ever slept in"
