Service, service, service

Was here over 30 years ago and don't remember it being this beautiful! Grounds are immaculate and constantly being groomed. Peace and absolute quiet. Understated elegance, (rustic), quiet, absolutely professional staff all around---from the front gatehouse to the car valet. Friendly staff always wanting to make sure you enjoy the day and the sunset---without being intrusive. Food is outstanding ---quality beyond 5 stars. Went to two other restaurants because of recommendations; would have been happier just dining here. An absolute jewel of a destination. You can't get any better than this......

Magical getaway

The San Ysidro Ranch has a chill garden of eden in paradise feeling; from the private outdoor shower and jacuzzi for every cottage to the exquisite peaceful mountain view from the very private pool with lush overplanted gardens. And, as a special bonus, the spectacular San Ysidro hiking trail is out the front door! We went there for our birthdays and were treated royally. Both world class restaurants were fantastic. We can’t wait to go back!

Overpriced for the quality of the facility.

Beautiful grounds w/blooming flowers and trimmed bushes everywhere, and a gracious reception area. Cottage OK, but not five star (one sink in bathroom, queen bed); spider web in bathroom, at ceiling.

Very nice room, but not worth the price.

This is an extremely expensive hotel. It did not live up to our expectations. For my husband's 40th birthday, we were the first people at the restaurant with a 6 pm reservation. We were seated directly in the sun. We asked to have the blinds lowered twice, but spent our time squinting with the sun in our eyes. The second couple at dinner that evening was seated right next to us. With no one else in the entire restaurant, we were a little crammed together and could hear every word of their conversation. Aside from this, the room was very nice, but did not warrant the price. The hiking trails were not impressive. There was no spa, only spa treatments in your room. The grounds were very nice, but there was very little to do.

Perfect get-a-way

Every little detail was covered. Perfect get-a-way. Quiet, peaceful, nice pool, food everywhere (we weren't nickel and dimed). The two days of hikes up the San Ysidro Trail were fantastic. The pool was at the right temperature...service great. The Stonehouse restaurant was the best place we ate on our 8 night trip up the California coast.

Amazing retreat in the hills above Montecito

We had a wonderful 4 night stay here. The hotel is so beautiful and the service is excellent and friendly. The restaurants and room service are excellent. The rooms are very unique. They range from small private luxury cabins to full homes. Very safe area. Sun and stars were amazing. Night time lighting is very low and romantic. Highly recommended, this hotel beckons you back when out sight-seeing and for a future visit! One of the the best hotels I have ever stayed at. Expensive, but worth it. We looked at several other options in the area and were so happy with our choice to stay here despite the extra cost.

We'll pass next time.

We stayed during the long Thanksgiving weekend. The hotel itself and people working there were wonderful BUT the extra charges for the pool and advertising was above and beyond the very expensive price we were already paying for the room. The Thanksgiving meal we had was also way over priced and not worth it considering the quality of the food.
