Patrick Wiscombe: (Get Away Today - Internet Marketing Manager)
This is the Get Away Today Travel Show podcast. Thank you for tuning in and taking us along. My name is Patrick Wiscombe. Coming up in the next 5 minutes, were going to take you on an audio tour of the Rancho Bernardo Inn in San Diego. Julie Chavarria the Sales Director for the Rancho Bernardo Inn is in studio with me right now. Let’s talk about the resort.
Julie Chavarria: (Rancho Bernardo Inn – Sales Director)
The Rancho Bernardo Inn is a four diamond Golf and Spa Resort located in the north part of San Diego. We are 25 minutes northeast of downtown San Diego and one exit away from the San Diego Zoo’s Wild Animal Park. We are definitely a destination resort. We have 18 holes of golf onsite. We also have a fabulous spa that just underwent a full renovation. We have added six outdoor treatment cabanas that are temperature controlled. You can have a spa treatment outside during the height of summer or during winter. It doesn’t matter what time of year it is because you’ll always be nice and comfortable. We also added an outdoor garden, a water feature, and an exclusive spa pool. We also renovated all of our rooms in May. The rooms are absolutely gorgeous. They are very upscale and have a classic feel. Each room also has the plantation shutters. We also have a king bed that comes from the corner of the room which is a signature for J. C. Resorts. It has banquet style headboards which is very cool. The granite nightstands are built into the wall.
Patrick Wiscombe: Are the night stands on both sides of the bed?
Julie Chavarria: Yes.
Patrick Wiscombe: Is that an iPod stereo?
Julie Chavarria: Yes. The Rancho Bernardo Inn is very high tech. We have plasma televisions, DVD players, the iPod stereo units. It’s just absolutely amazing. In our new rooms which we just renovated this year, we offer two views; an interior courtyard view looking over lush tropical gardens or you can have our golf course view. Because we’re a golf resort, we get a lot of golfers that want to overlook the course while they stay with us.
Patrick Wiscombe: I always like hearing the little ‘tink’ as the golf ball hits the club.
Julie Chavarria: Oh yes. Golfers love that as well! Are you a golfer?
Patrick Wiscombe: [laughter] No!
Julie Chavarria: Well, if you want to learn, we also have several pros onsite that will teach lessons to men, women, and children. That’s something nice for the family to do as well. We have two restaurants onsite. El Bizcocho is our fine dining restaurant. It is absolutely amazing. Zagat voted it the number one resort restaurant in San Diego for many years in a row. Our chef, Gavin Kaysen, was voted one of the top 10 young chefs by Food and Wine magazine. Gavin is 28 years old. He is very excited to receive this award. This is great for El Bizcocho, the Rancho Bernardo Inn, and of course, Gavin. We are really excited to have him on our team.
Patrick Wiscombe: Just in case you subscribe to this magazine, it’s the May 2007 edition of Food and Wine magazine. He is the guy in the bottom left corner without the glasses.
Julie Chavarria: Yes, that’s correct. El Bizcocho serves dinner nightly and Sunday brunch. It’s extremely upscale so we do have a dress code. No jeans. Jackets are recommended but ties are not required. We also have another dining option called the Veranda. The Veranda is our resort casual breakfast, lunch, and dinner restaurant. So, you can cruise in wearing your flip-flops and short or you can come right from the golf course to have lunch. It is absolutely family friendly as well. The third dining option is our sports bar which has a pool table and big screen TVs for all the big sporting events. The sports bar serves a light fare like burgers, salads, and other things like that.
Patrick Wiscombe: Let’s talk about the stay and play package for the Rancho Bernardo Inn?
Julie Chavarria: Our stay and play package is phenomenal because it really allows the customer to build their own vacation. With our stay and play package you can book through Get Away Today, we offer the one play option per adult, per room, per night. Our play options are golf, spa treatment, or an adult theme park ticket to the San Diego Zoo’s Wild Animal Park, San Diego Zoo, SeaWorld, or Legoland. Say you have a family member staying in San Diego for five days. What they can do with our stay and play package is basically customize it how they want. For example, your dad wants to golf on the first day and your mom does spa. The next day they both do spa. The third day they take the whole family to Legoland. The fourth day they take the whole family to Seaworld. You can really customize the package for what you want to experience in San Diego and the Rancho Bernardo Inn.
Patrick Wiscombe: How many rooms do you have?
Julie Chavarria: The Rancho Bernardo Inn has 287 guest rooms and suites.
Patrick Wiscombe: So, it’s a big place.
Julie Chavarria: It is. There are eight separate buildings ranging from two floors to five floors. We have seven jacuzzi’s which is really cool. So, lots of jacuzzi’s and we have three swimming pools. There are two wineries nearby. The north part of San Diego also offers good shopping.

Paradise Point Resort & Spa is literally an island unto itself. There are five swimming pools, so they never feel over crowded. During the summer months, the resort shows movies at the main pool at dusk. Simply call the front desk to find out what movie and which night it is playing. You can rent tandem bikes or “putter” around on the 18-hole putting golf course. The Kemps also had fun climbing the lookout tower where they could see for miles and enjoyed the view of Mission Bay and the surrounding area.
