Amazing romantic vacation stay

10.0

I recently stayed at Quiet Mind resort for the first time for a couple of days for a vacation in San Diego. I absolutely loved the resort – it is quiet and remote, located in between beautiful mountains and a lake. You get breathtaking views from the rooms. If you are looking for a quite place to disconnect from hectic city life, this is the place to be. Adam, Sarah, and Bhushan are very attentive and take good care of you. They made my stay pleasant and I felt well taken care of. The same goes for the rest of the staff. The complimentary continental breakfast is a nice touch, and all the prepared meals are also quite good. There’s a lot of activities to do like hiking, biking, lake activities like kayaking etc. or you can just spend time in the resort itself to unwind with meditation or the jacuzzi. The aesthetics of the place is also beautiful, with a lot of wooden furniture, making it feel like a true hill station. I highly recommend staying here, and will definitely be visiting again.

Peaceful and relaxing stay

This place was perfect to stay at. Right away I felt very relaxed and comfortable here. the best part is going to the hot tub at night and looking at all the stars. it was such a peaceful time. Will for sure be returning.

hermoso retiro de relajacion y comodidad con vistas al lago

el entorno y la vista fantasticos, el motivo 'indio oriental meditativo' del alojamiento es muy bello

− como la cocina está en medio del alojamiento, olía mucho a comida (fuera de los cuartos) el servicio de alimientos terminaba muy pronto (creo que 8 pm)

Stunning view, not so clean room

6.0

Overall the view is stunning and amenities that they offer (in theory) are nice. Everyone was pleasant, but unfortunately the pleasantry did not make up for issues. I booked a 2 night stay in the "Peaceful Lake" room at $250/night with a massage $145 and sauna $45. Room: was not clean and felt unsanitary, I couldn't fully relax. -Bed backboard had an excessive amount of fingerprints and some sort of splatter. I ended up sleeping towards the foot of the bed instead. -Robes provided in the room had hair in it, so I didn’t bother touching it. -I understand it’s near nature but there was an excessive amount of spiders and ants throughout the room. While drifting off to sleep around 1am, two large spiders were above my head on the ceiling so I stayed awake till 3am when they finally moved across the room. I couldn’t set food or drinks down on any table without ants getting in it. -Main room door had excessive dirty fingerprints. -Fridge had a thick layer of dust/grime/prints. -Bedroom table had a pile of unknown white crumbs. -Shower smelled musty like mold. -Porch seating was broken or coming apart. Definitely a safety hazard. -With all that, you start thinking about how the shower carpet has probably never been cleaned, how maybe the sheets have not been changed out (especially that there were stains), and all the ways you're about to get sick. Amenities: I pre-booked a halotherapy sauna and chakra massage. I also tried to order breakfast on my last day (which was my birthday). -Halotherapy is where they turn on a couple salt rock lamps in front of the infrared room, it was not worth the cost. Also, they charged me $45, when online it was $40 and $35 pre booked. When pre-booking over the phone, they didn't explain why it was $45, when I asked Sarah on site, she tried to explain but thankfully she agreed to remove the charge. -Chakra massage did not use any crystals at all. Amy was very lovely though and utilized other massage methods. The table and setup was pretty uncomfortable, not her fault. -Breakfast ordered was described as runny eggs, crispy potatoes and fresh avocado. The eggs were overdone, potatoes soggy and the avocado was brown. I notified them, they said they'd fix it... when the woman came, it was a small plate of just more brown avocado. Apparently they misunderstood. By that time I just wanted to leave, so I gave them back everything. There were only 3 items and 2 things to actually cook, I'm not paying $25+20% service fee for that. The chai latte was good and they didn't charge me for it which I appreciated! Booking: I tried to reach out through their phone number provided and email portal, with no response. I finally had to email their INFO address to get a hold of someone. Sadly my birthday stay was very disappointing. If the room was actually clean, I would consider returning for the view alone. I appreciated the staff's efforts, but it wasn't enough.

Great stay
