A Room with a View
This morning I am sitting outside on the patio overlooking a perfectly manicured champion golf course and the birds are all a twitter and a bubbling fountain works its charm nearby. It's still fairly earl in the morning and a group of golfers, making the sweet sound as their club makes contact with the golf ball.
A Girl Who Loves Amenities!
My room is lovely, spacious and comfortable with lots of great amenities like a 42” Flat Screen, TV, luxury bath amenities, waffle robe, quality linens, coffee maker and wireless internet and an wireless internet with a huge, well designed and inviting workspace. A huge king bed sits at an angle with a oversized, extended custom made headboard with bult-in modern sconces and night stands. Above the headboard sits a 5 or six foot sculpture for dramatic effect and below the base is wired with light which not only adds estheticlly but also functionally - when the lights are out - no hitting your feet on the wooden custom built bedframe. I love the warm and inviting color scheme of white, tan and green. and the artwork in keeping with the Resort’s Southern California/Spanish style. Very natural, rich and relaxing. This is great room to hang out in. However, I have been so busy enjoying the rest of the property yesterday that I am now just able to fully take in the ambiance and fully enjoy.

he Manager's Poolside Reception
Yesterday I attended a "Manager's Reception" replete with warm and gracious hospitality, cocktails, appetizers and live calypso music poolside. I learned from the Maureen, the Assistant General Manager, the reception takes place every Friday for selected guests and members of the Rancho Bernardo Inn (executive membership is available to local residents). I had the pleasure of meeting Spa Director, Golf Directors, the Director of Golf Tournaments, the Concierge and a couple who were eager to share their recommendations at El Bizcocho Restaurant. I can truly say - this was a fun and casual event - not a sales pitch - and a great opportunity to mix and mingle.
El Bizchoco - A Spectacular Dining for Foodies
I wish my brother could join me - he would have loved this elegant, incredible dining exeperience. The couple highly recommended the tasting menu. Oh my gosh - this was so wonderful that I am posting a seperate entry on my blog. (see above)
The Spa -aaahhhhh
I am pitching my spa experience to several magazine so ...readers...watch for a future article with more details! But here is the quick low down! I was running late from LA and was concerned I would unravel the full afternoon of services that Spa Director, Michelle S. had carefully planned for me.
It took me a bit of time to decompress - and I realized I was too keyed up when I declined an eye pillow and stared at the beautiful wooden beams in my treatment room. My first treatment was a orange peel body scrub. The body scrub exfoliates and I was told the vitamin C in the orange is an antioxidant and helps with anti-aging. I was finally able to relax during the shea butter wrap. Enveloped in a cocoon of warm sheets and an wonderful scalp massage was the moment I was able to take a deep breath and "get into the moment." My third service was a full body massage in which I was expertly rubbed the right way from head to toe. My tired muscles were soothed and drank plenty of water afterwards to help remove toxins. My last service of the day was a Margarita pedicure in which Margarita's are served while your tootsies are pampered. I was also fortunate to enjoy a couple slices of Margarita pizza which was a great combo. After all the attention - I enjoyed an hour or so lounging by the pool and jacuzzi, admiring the lavender in the garden, watching the bunny t nibble on grass, and taking a big ahhhh.
