My wife and I will be going to San Diego in mid November on business and would like to go somewhere for a week before or after. Ideally a nice beach with good weather or a health Spa place where you give them a lot of money and they help you get fit and lose weight. All suggestions would be appreciated. Budget: looking for something good as we don't take many vacations.
Thanks.

Google for:

La Costa ( real pricey)
Rancho La Puerta

Been to both La Costa Resort and Spa and Rancho la Puerto and both are somewhat expensive but super great properties..
I live in SD and get e-mail specials for La Costa and the latest for November was $399 for a lovely room and 2 spa treatments..
They just did a major renovations and the property is beautiful.
Budget and spa usually don't go together..
Glen Ivy Springs north of Temecula has a budget style spa and that has wonderful mud baths but its not on the beach.
Hotel Del Coronado has a lovely beach and limited spa..maybe you can get a deal on Expedia.
What is your budget?

TT, alan implies that he has no budget.

Thanks for the advice. Yes my budget is flexible, but I also know that more expensive doesn't always mean better. Has anyone heard of Cal-a-Vie and also Golder Door spas near San Diego? I will look into the other ones you have suggested. Thanks again.

Hey frank and beans..
I threw in the Glen Ivy Springs for the budget spa but I see that alan is looking at Golden Door..that is HUGE $$..but wonderful!
Rancho la Puerta is owned by the same people..
Cal-a Vie is pricey too and that is where Oprah goes..
