We had a very disappointing experience at Chateau Escondido during our 4-day stay for our wedding guests. The property photographs well and the location is beautiful, but the manag...
ement and responsiveness were extremely poor when basic issues came up.
Several expected items and essentials were missing or not functioning. A toaster that was supposed to be available could not be found. I texted, emailed, and called multiple times over half a day before someone finally answered and said it “should be there,” and that if it was not there, then “someone must have taken it.” The bridal suite was missing sheets and pillowcases, there were no trash cans in the bridal suite bathrooms, and the AC in the bridal suite was not working. The AC issue was not communicated to us ahead of time.
We were told someone would get back to us, but no one did. On Day 3, a manager said they would stop by to look at the issues. I clearly told them no one would be there after 2:30 pm because we had to leave for an event. After I insisted that a toaster be delivered, it was eventually left outside the door after that time, but the other issues still were not addressed.
Throughout the 4-day stay, they were very difficult to reach. Despite multiple calls, texts, and emails, the issues were never properly resolved. What was most upsetting was that instead of apologizing or taking responsibility, they accused me of being disrespectful when I was frustrated after repeatedly trying to get basic problems addressed. I was also told that I was not their only client and that they had others to attend to.
For a wedding-related stay, this added unnecessary stress at a time when families need reliable communication and support. I would strongly advise future couples and families to confirm every amenity in writing, inspect the property immediately, and document all communication. Based on our experience, I would not recommend Chateau Escondido for an event-related stay.
My and my Fiancé had booked this Venue back in January 0f 2023 for a wedding in April of 2024. We were super excited with the venue, the view, and the ability to bring out our vend...
ors to the site. The site ended up being everything and more on our day. As of leading up to our day, was definitely very difficult process. We were first dealing with the property manager Jessica and we loved her in the beginning. She also gave me a wedding coordinator recommendation. About 3 months later in April of 2023, we were passed off to 2 other ladies that were also part of the property management team, that we have never met before. After April of 2023, we never heard from Jessica again. In addition, the wedding coordinator she recommended, ended up going AWOL and not being very communicative with me. This wedding coordinator had every excuse under the sun on why she AWOL and had not reached out to me via my cell phone, but had no problem contacting the venue immediately when I sent in a compliant about their preferred vendor. I had to find a new wedding coordinator and throw away 1500 dollars. Then, the site yet again, had another person running the property management and told us that Jessica no longer worked there, which ended up not being the case as her husband reached out the week of the wedding, stating that I still owed half the money, that I had already paid and sent in receipts to the guy I was talking to since January. The communication between everyone who works for this venue was poor and completely unorganized. The reason for 3 stars is that our wedding turned out amazing, due to the new wedding coordinator working in the background with this venue, and how we were able to have this venue for 4 days. I suggest that they become more organized around staff and their wedding couples so they can continue to grow as a wedding venue in the future.
Professional fun staff, very flexible with vendors, my team has planned several events now at this property as it’s the most flexible with allowing outside vendors. Property is als...
o extremely well priced considering the other venues make my clients use their “preferred vendors” which cost an arm and a leg. Has quickly become my go to for brides and corporate events and conferences! I love that we always have comfortable great spacious rooms that all have their own bathrooms and the staff is responsive to any requests any of my clients have had, even unusual or unreasonable ones! I never feel like we are micromanaged during our event and they have a great rain plan :)
