My stay at San Ysidro Ranch was a mix of amazing beauty and some service hiccups. The grounds were stunning, filled with lush Mediterranean plants. but the service didn't quite match the high expectations set by the price. While I found the spa absolutely divine, my dining experience fell short due to slow service. All in all, it's a dreamy spot, though it did leave me craving a bit more attention to detail.
