Rancho Pacifico exceeded our expectations in every way imaginable. Garrison and Silvia (the owners) along with the entire staff anticipated our every need.

I visited Rancho Pacifico last week with my husband and another couple for my 50th birthday. While getting there from San Jose by car is not easy, it certainly was worth it.
