The property includes extensive gardens, courtyards, fountains, and walking paths throughout the grounds.
The property has been part of the San Diego community for decades, evolving over time while maintaining its welcoming character and connection to the region's Spanish heritage. The name reflects the area's origins as Rancho Bernardo, a Spanish colonial land grant from the early days of settlement.
The resort reflects early Spanish colonial traditions through its architecture and landscaping, which visitors can observe in the stone buildings and garden designs. This heritage shapes how guests experience the property as a retreat that honors the region's past while serving modern travelers.
