Great resort with kids
Posted by kristi from dana point, CA on January 28, 2009
Ciao bambino thought this was a great hotel with kids. the resort was lovely and exceeded our expectations. we all loved it, and in particular the grandchildren ages 3, 5 and 6 years of age. it is set on 240 acres in the desert, centrally located at the foot of mount san jacinto. the resort has undergone a multi-million dollar makeover, and has many things to offer: three pools, a jacuzzi, a 27 hole golf course, 25 tennis courts, a spa with its own pool, children's camp, a water fantasy land called splashtopia - a neat aquatic playground including a lazy river, two 100 foot water slides, and a small sand beach. the property also has two nice boutiques. there are umbrellas, but renting a cabana during very hot summer days guarantees shade and also privacy for relaxing and having lunch or snacks. www.ciaobambino.com

Summer fun

My family and i had a great time in rancho las palmas. a great place for the kids in splashtopia. my 4 kids really enjoyed playing in the water. the service was great, the room was nice (with a great view)and we really enjoyed it! it is a great place for the family or just a little time alone. the family could play in splashtopia and you could get a massage or go in the adult only pool, which is very nice! we would definatly go back there again. everyone did a great job in rancho las palmas!
