I had an absolutely terrible experience. I called to ask about the price of the buffet problem to going to the resort. I was told that with my players club card, the price would be $23.99. When I got to the cashier, she told me that in order to get the discount I must go back into the casino and earn 500 player points just to get the discount. I then asked to speak to the manager, who proceeded to tell me that I was wrong and that the gaming commission sets that and he can't do anything about it. This is of course completely false because California does not have a gaming commission. It is their own management driving ridiculous policies like this. Barona has lost a long time customer due to not only their ridiculous policies but their absolutely horrific customer service. Truly terrible experience.

Barona has a warm and friendly staff. There is a good selection of slots and table games. The restaurants are delicious including having probably the best buffet in San Diego. The hotel is also very nicely appointed. Although Barona is small compared to the large Vegas casinos, it offers a more intimate and just as high-quality of an experience.

Yesterday was my birthday.My Son took me to Borona, give me a hundred bucks to gamble with and luckily for me I turn that into 300.00 😃 .The people at Barona were fantastic, they came up to me and announce my birthday to everyone! The young man came up to me and wished me a happy birthday in front of everyone!!! And I mean the whole Casino, they presented me with a cake and a card ,very ,very thoughtful outstanding and classy on their part .About 20 minutes later we played "Party Table",or something like that, a fun game where one side of the area hollered as loud as they could and then the other side did the same thing, the loudest team won a hundred bucks and that was our side!!!, that's just made my evening that much better! Barona be proud you have a great staff professional classy and thoughtful you made a 62 year old man very very happy and for that I say thank you very much.

The grounds and scenery around in the hotel side of the casino was beautiful. They have a pond and a beautifully landscaped surrounding. At night the trees light up to give it a romantic feel. I did not like that the TV in our room was small and outdated and that there were no wall sockets to charge our cell phones in close to the nightstand. The service from the hotel staff was amazing and by far the greatest customer service I have experienced in a while.

Very friendly people. You walk past them and there wasn't one that didn't greet you hello. The fiance and I just walked around and checked everything out. Hotel looks nice had a haunted mansion feel but clean and cool. Lot of people gambling and it sounded like a lot of people were winning a good amount of money compared to another casino that we recently went to. The tornado box filled with cash seemed fun but no one was in it. The food court area looked good. Went there during father's day but didn't seem too busy. It's been years since I went to the buffet but I can't believe the price of the buffet nowadays. $50 for father's day but normally $42. I'm not a club member or anything so not sure if it's "discounted" if you're a member.. but the thing is buffets are around $30 -35 in the evening so.. technically it's not a discount if they do offer it to the members.

Gorgeous location and super nice casino. The pool is so small and more looks like it belongs at a cheap Best Western. It's a resort without a resort compared to other casinos around here. Oh they bribe you to vote them the luckiest casino.. Its very tight machines. Don't let the fake polls sway you!!!! They literally reward you and have booths set up to vote them all these best of most lucky etc.. they catch you on the way in because if people played first they certainly wouldn't vote luckiest lol they maybe the roughest tightest Casino in San Diego. Very pretty but save your money don't buy the hype! Oh you got to go see the pool with funny compared to the other casinos. That's worth the drive alone get a good laugh!

Very nice hotel and casino. The people are friendly and helpful. They do offer some services like hand car wash that were unexpected but wonderful to receive. The grounds are beautiful and well kept. An unexpected find. Well worth it.

Didn't stay in the hotel this trip, but the wife I stopped by to play and grab a bite to eat. The layout inside and out was beautiful. Every worker I interacted with was friendly and helpful. Will possibly stay there the next time we're in town from Arizona. I loved being in the mountains and feeling the nice breeze... So different from the beach(and desert), and very relaxing and refreshing.

Awesome buffer and nice casino. First time we've been here and we wondered why we haven't been before. When we first arrived and parked we had a shuttle pick us up right away and take us up to the front. They seem to run continually 24 hours a day. The buffet was outstanding. If your a 🦀 lover this is the place to go. Endless mountains of 🦀 for you to enjoy and they even crack it for you so it's easy to open. They have all the usual high end buffet items like prime rib, seafood as well as specialty stations like the BBQ, asain and desserts. I really liked the warm chocolate chip cookies with ice cold milk. Yeah it isn't cheap at 90 bucks for two but you really do get your money's worth. Definitely going back again.
