When is the best time to go to Rancho Del Rey?

The best time to go to Rancho Del Rey for optimal weather and outdoor activities is generally from late spring (May) through early autumn (October). During these months, you'll experience warm, sunny days with minimal rainfall, which is superb for enjoying the area's beaches, hiking trails, and outdoor dining. The ocean temperatures are also at their most pleasant for swimming and water sports. For those looking to avoid the peak summer crowds and potentially higher prices, May, early June, September, and October are excellent choices. The weather remains very agreeable, but the popular attractions and restaurants are typically less busy.

Can I cancel my hotel reservation on Expedia?

Many Expedia hotel reservations are refundable, provided that you cancel before the hotel’s cancellation deadline – this is often within 24-48 hours of your scheduled arrival. If you have a non-refundable booking, it might still be possible to receive a refund if you cancel it within 24 hours of booking. Be sure to check your booking confirmation for the exact cancellation policy. For maximum flexibility, use our "Fully refundable property" filter during your search to find the right Rancho del Rey hotel for you.

How much is the nightly rate at a Rancho del Rey hotel?

To find the best deals for your stay, be flexible with your dates, and sort search results by "Price: low to high" for our cheapest rates.

Bahia Resort Hotel

8/10 Good

"It was great! Would def stay here again!"

Paradise Point Resort & Spa

10/10 Excellent

"We stayed at an inside bungalow which was fine on this beautifully landscaped property. We were on a small lake with a fountain that was relaxing. Also, there was plenty of things to do including climbing the tower, feeding the ducks and fish, and walking around the grounds. The Barefoot Bar is one of my favorite places to eat and drink with a great view and delicious food."
