JC Resorts offers getaway options in three counties; classic beach, golf and wine country resorts ideal for leisure and meetings.

The three properties in JC Resorts' portfolio provide an array of options for getaways, meetings and events throughout Southern California. Each of the resorts, Rancho Bernardo Inn in San Diego, Surf & Sand Resort in Laguna Beach and Temecula Creek Inn at Temecula, offers guests a distinctive ambiance and dedicated personal service.

Rancho Bernardo Inn

Rancho Bernardo Inn offers a complete resort getaway featuring luxurious accommodations, world-class recreation, exceptional dining and AAA four-diamond service. Like all of the JC Resorts properties, the Inn has all of the amenities required for a great vacation, as well as the facilities necessary for productive meetings and events.

Guestrooms are secluded throughout the property, with buildings connected by pathways through lush, manicured gardens. Each room is a spacious retreat featuring custom furnishings and artwork, and a patio or balcony overlooking the golf course or gardens.

Guests may spend their days at play on the Inn's 18-hole championship Resort Course, a traditional layout enhanced by the noted design team of Schmidt & Curley to provide a modern challenge.

Tennis players will feel right at home at the Inn's 12-court tennis complex, while those looking for relaxation will enjoy the array of massages and body treatments at the Spa.

Finally, two swimming pools--including one reserved just for adults--and seven hydro-spas are perfect for lounging the afternoon away.

In the evening, the Inn offers two outstanding restaurants. In an elegant dining room, El Bizcocho serves contemporary French cuisine that has earned the Zagat Survey's highest ratings in San Diego. Complemented by an extensive wine list and impeccable service, it should not be missed.

For more casual dining, the Veranda offers a menu inspired by the fresh flavors of Southern Europe. Dine indoors or on the sunny, expanded patio overlooking the golf course. In the evening, an outdoor fireplace sets the perfect mood.

When it comes to meetings, Rancho Bernardo Inn has earned a distinguished place in the Meetings & Conventions magazine Hall of Fame, based on the Inn's continued recognition from the publication's readers. With 15,000 square feet of indoor space complemented by an additional 15,000 square feet of outdoor areas, the resort can accommodate groups from 10 to 500.

Off-site meetings are effective ways to increase productivity, as attendees are able to focus on the task at hand when not distracted by their typical daily tasks. At the Inn, small groups will find several executive boardrooms to suit them, while large groups and conferences may choose from expansive ballrooms.

As at all of the JC Resorts properties, meeting planners benefit from having a single contact on the property; a professional who is as involved in your meeting's success as the planner is. Additionally, the resortw all offer in-house support for everything from audio-visual services to florals.

Surf & Sand Resort

Where the waves of the Pacific meet 500 feet of pristine white sand on California's Laguna Beach shoreline, lies the Surf& Sand Resort. Here, a magnificent oceanfront location combines with luxurious accommodations, dedicated personal service, distinctive dining, and a soothing spa to create a relaxing, romantic getaway.

Every guestroom at the Surf & Sand includes a private balcony with a breathtaking view of the waves crashing on the beach below. Guestrooms themselves are elegant retreats with plantation shutters covering expansive windows, custom furnishings, spacious baths and all the amenities you need to really get away.

Adding to the relaxing ambiance is the Aquaterra Spa, offering an array of treatments enhanced by the healing, therapeutic properties of ocean and earth. These natural essences are combined with aromatic botanicals in a range of massages, skincare and body treatments to provide each guest with a spa experience artistically designed just for them by experienced practitioners.

Throughout the resort, guests are never far from the soothing waves and stunning views of the Pacific, as even the airy Splashes dining room features windows opening to the sea. Guests may also choose to dine alfresco on palm-shaded patios, or to enjoy the romance of dinner served on their room's balcony, accompanied only by a spectacular sunset.

Surf & Sand's location, just minutes from Orange County's John Wayne Airport and within an hour's drive of both Los Angeles and San Diego, affords a wealth of recreational activities.

At the resort itself, guests may pass the day lounging by the oceanfront pool and on the beach itself, or take advantage of the fitness and yoga studios for an invigorating workout. Beyond the resort, options range from strolling through the galleries and boutiques of Laguna Beach to shopping at South Coast Plaza to championship golf.

The resort's dedicated conference center makes Surf & Sand an ideal selection for distinctive meetings and events. More than 10,000 square feet of meeting space is offered, including the 2,000-square-foot Pelican Ballroom with its adjoining pre-function foyer and sun-splashed terrace. Perched just above the beach, the Ocean Terrace and Pool Deck are perfect venues for social gatherings, meals and a variety of group events.

Temecula Creek Inn

In the rolling hills of the Temecula Valley wine country, Temecula Creek Inn offers 27 holes of championship golf, spacious guestrooms and excellent regional cuisine. The Inn is perfect for travelers in search of a simple getaway, where everything from wine tasting to hot air ballooning and charming antique shops is nearby. It feels secluded in a tranquil world of its own, and is a great starting point for exploring all that the region has to offer.

The Inn's 130 spacious guestrooms and suites are designed for relaxation. Plush bedding, comfortable lounge chairs and inviting entryways are subtly touched with a Native American influence. Imported personal care items, a stocked honor bar and gourmet coffee and teas are just a few of the amenities.

When there's business to attend to, guestrooms offer an attractive workspace with high-speed Internet access and voice mail. During down time, a patio or balcony are great spots to relax, with exceptional views of the golf course and mountains.

The resort's centerpiece is its 27-hole championship golf course. Awarded a four star rating from Golf Digest's 'Places to Play,' the course offers the variety and challenge of three distinctive nines. With the dramatic elevation changes and rock outcroppings of the Stonehouse nine, precision and accuracy are at a premium. The more traditional adjoining fairways of the Creek course offer increased length, while the well bunkered Oaks is known for its tree-lined beauty and playability.

When it comes time to dine, guests will find that the Inn's Temet Grill takes full advantage of the region's proximity to over a dozen nearby wineries; presenting diners with cuisine inspired and enhanced by these local vineyards. The restaurant serves a variety of dishes, ranging from traditional favorites like prime rib to lighter, California cuisine like pastas and fresh seafood. Whether dining at the grill or enjoying a cocktail by the fire in the adjoining lounge, expansive views of the golf course and San Jacinto Mountains abound.

Fresh air to clear the mind and plenty of surrounding beauty: Temecula Creek Inn is an inspired choice for meetings, conferences and corporate retreats. Two ballrooms gracefully accommodate sizeable group events or divide for breakout sessions. A variety of smaller meeting spaces are available throughout the property, all with natural lighting and adjoining outdoor space to connect you with the pleasant surroundings.

For more intimate occasions, discover the romance of our 19th century Stone House. Once a rest for quarry men as they worked in the surrounding hills, the quaint granite and stone building is graced with an antique bar and furnishings reminiscent of a bygone era.
