Rancho Santa Fe Hotel Guide - Family Friendly Hotels in Rancho Santa Fe, California

"There is 5% fee associated when you eat out to make up for wage increases. That’s not really fair- especially with what they charge for rooms and food/beverages. Beds were okay. Service was slow in the firefly but food was good when it got to us. The bartender was great ( shaved head gentleman) and quick. Beware of park view rooms. The park is very busy/active with people outside your door till late in the night. Paid extra for park view- will skip that next time and pay for Bayview. Also- they no longer have buffet for purchase like the pictures suggest. "

"The location is great! There is a farmers market on weekends just outside the hotel. The parking is not convenient. They charge but they don’t have control over it and it gets full"

"Loved every bit of our stay here. "

"We had a great start. The rooms are spacious, nicely decorated and the beds are comfortable. My kids loved the water slides. My only gripe is the service in the restaurant; the waiters didn’t come around often but the staff was friendly. "

"Beds were super comfortable. Some things were a little out dated. The staff was amazing, they let us check in way early which helped ease the stress of our day for a wedding we had to go to. Overall great stay!"

"Great family vacation destination. Lots of things to do at the resort and everything is within a 10 minute walk. The junior suite was very nice- modern, clean and 2 minutes to the beach. Highly recommended."

"I think it was a good experience. Rooms were decent, the service is excellent. I will be coming back!"

"This is a great property. Convenient to the zoo and Sea World. Room was super spacious. Bonus was a discount to Panera adjacent to the property. "

"Very clean, close to all the beaches, less than 30mins drive, yes this place has FREE dinner monday to wed, people should not complain about not much selection in dinner because it is FREE. Did I mention also FREE breakfast. Some people mention about free lunch there is no lunch, just free dinner mon-wed. We stayed one of corner room and it was huge with a sofa, big kitchen Cons: parking lot is small and parking space is very tight good we rented Nissan rogue. Cannot checkin early. Our ceiling fan did not work no biggie we just used hanger and gave it good spin and it worked whenever we needed. upstairs neighbors were noisy dragging chair and running 2am in the morning. Not hotel fault"
