We stayed for 2 nights, and this resort definitely met our expectations. We were travelling with 2 teenagers, and found the room very spacious, tastefully decorated and very clean and modern. The golf course was great, and the scenery breathtaking. It was worth the extra 20 minute drive to San Diego for the peace and quiet and the better value. We only wish we had been able to stay a little longer. We found the staff to be very friendly and helpful. If we travel to the San Diego area again, we would definitely stay at the Sycuan Resort again.

I cannot comment on the Casino, as we did not make our way there.

This is an upscale,quiet golf resort. The casino is located three miles from the casino, which lends to it's quiet atmosphere. The grounds are breathtaking with an overabundance of beautiful flowers, shubs, large trees and well-manicured lawns.
We spent the night in a room with two queen beds. The room was on the top floor at the end of one of the two-story buildings. The room had a large walk-in dressing room that you passed through to get to the toilet/shower room. The dressing room had an L-shaped sink/make-up vanity, two mirrors, two electric outlets. There was also a cabinet that housed a small refrigerator and coffee-maker. This was the best part of the room as I was traveling with two other women. We had no problems showering and primping without getting into each others way!
A sliding glass door that opened to a shared balcony looked out over one of the two pools and putting greens. I spent time in the morning on the balcony reading the free newspaper as the landscapers tended to the gardening on the lawns below me. Very relaxing atmosphere.
I'm not a golfer, so I didn't experience the golfing. The place was hopping with golfers as we left the resort.
Resort visitors are given several coupons for the casino. We used the Free Valet coupon at the casino and had a discounted dinner at the casino buffett. The regular price of a buffet meal would have been $50+ for the three of us, but with the coupon it cost us $33+ (great savings)! Good food choices to top it off (Italian, Chinese, Traditional American, etc).
The casino had a cheesey "disney-land" feel to it and we felt like we were arriving at Aladdin's Palace (from the kid's movie :Alladin"). The casino grounds and buildings are still under construction, but it did not distract from the fun casino experience.
All in all, it was a great experience! I would love to bring my family here in the future.

My husband and I had another fabulous stay at Sycuan Resort. Our first stay was in April 2007 and we enjoyed it so much we went down for another week in July. On both occasions the cafe , housekeeping, and golf staff were very friendly and accomodating. Generous and healthy portions at the Cafe- with lots of good coffee to start off the morning. The rooms ( like the rest of the resort) was immaculate and the beds were very comfortable. The pro shop was well stocked on both occasions. There is a lovely mix of regular members, visitors, and on our last visit World Junior competitiors playing golf on the 3 courses. The courses, including the on course bathrooms, are well maintained. If you have a chance to take a lesson from Johnny Gonzales, the director of golf, go for it. He has a great knack for teaching, instills a positive attitude to learning, and best of all he has a wonderful laugh.

Since I used this site to help me decide where to stay, I felt that it was important to provide my feedback.

PROS:

We are currently staying at the property and I'm using their WI-FI to post my feedback on the property. The grounds are very pretty and the room is a nice size. We have have a total of 5 people and we are comfortable. We haven't had any problems finding restaurants in the area. We went to the SeaWorld and to the ocean and both were within a
30 minute drive. The weather was perfect. It was a nice change from
the 110+ degree weather we have been having in Chandler, AZ

Cons:

The beds are hard and uncomfortable, but the rest of the room was nicely decorated and quiet.

Overall:

I would stay at the property again.
