Rancho Cerro Colorado Vacation Rentals

"We stayed at the Rose for a week during spring break. Check in was fast and simple. Our room was outdated but clean. We had a view of the pool and could see a sliver of the ocean. The beds were so hard and the pillows were too big. The AC was fine and we had hot water. The pool was oddly warm and after a few hours got murky. I saw them cleaning it every morning but too many kids and sunscreen would dirty it up. It would make more sense to have an outdoor shower by the pool than in the sand on the beach. We love this location because of the beach and walking distance to town. The service on the beach was hit or miss. We would tip every server but noticed a lot of other people not. The food at the resort was disappointing. The guacamole had no flavor. The tacos, pizza, burritos were nothing to write home about. The drinks were also nothing special. The last AI resoet we stayed at had fresh squeezed margs and these ones just taste like sugar and mixer. Luckily we could walk down to Uno Mas. We tried getting into the sushi spot but it was almost a 2 hour wait so we went to Texican across the street. We finally got into the sushi spot a couple days later and was super disappointed. It didnt take long to seat us but then it took forever to be acknowledged and another 30 min to order. The sashimi was ok. The rolls and fried rice were not good. Paloma also had no flavor, then the waiter expected us to tip off of the calculated bill (I would never pay $125 for). It was very rude."

"The rooms were decent. Bathroom not very clean. Allot of walking and no elevator. No room service. Bars mediocre "

"This was our first time staying at the Hard Rock. This resort is about a 45 min drive from the SJD airport, quick and safe road. The entertainment at this resort was fantastic. From the live music/bands throughout the day to the nightly shows. We traveled with our 8yr old daughter and she loved the entertainment and the slides at the pool. There are several family friendly pools to choose from and all provided plenty of pool chairs. The buffet (breakfast and dinner) food was ok, but not great. For dinner we had dinner at Toro (the steakhouse) 3/10: service was grea, food took way too long to come out (almost an hour), and steak was pretty flavorless; Zen 10/10: food and service were EXCELLENT; Umo 10/10: food and service were also great, highly recommend! Food at the pool was also ok (5/10). A few of the downfalls for this resort: 1) the pacific side is much windier during this time of year (we traveled in April), so it gets pretty windy at the pools and they are not able to open the umbrellas because of this. 2) For the resort only being about 7 yrs old, the rooms are pretty weathered. We stayed in a Jr. Suite, the grout in the bathroom is extremely dirty and it just gave that not so clean feeling. 3) the property is pretty big and they do offer a variety of entertainment throughout the day. We stayed for 5 days and every day there was inconsistency with their entertainment schedule provided via tablet in-room. Overall it was a good stay (6/10)"

"Way too much of a party scene to get any relaxation. They let people come to pool from Cruise ships making it busier. Couldn’t sleep due to loud party (white party) right out our balcony. Food was not great and not many à la cart options meaning everything had been sitting out for a while. Maid knocked once and came right in before we could come to the door which made for some awkwardness."

"Needs a remodel and check in staff needs training"

"We enjoyed everything about our stay. The room was spacious , clean and comfortable. The staff were friendly and accommodating. The grounds and pool were beautifully maintained and food was so fresh and delicious. Looking forward to staying here again. "

"Exception staff, very attentive, 2 very large pools and one party pool. Food wasn’t the greatest but ok. They do not have much entertainment."

"Husband enjoyed the breakfast during our stay, the room was spacious and clean. Pool area is as pictured, very relaxing view. "

"Amazing everything!"
