Hi Ambar100, Thank you for your interest in Rancho La Puerta. There are Short Stays and half week specials available. It's best to contact an Experience Planner in the reservations office for the latest specials and offers. You link through our info on our profile.

I have been there more than 20 times and I have never heard of anyone getting travelers diarrhea. It is my understanding that the water all comes from the Colorado River--the "ranch" is very close to the border with the U.S. There is a spigot with filtered water adjacent to the hot and cold water in every room as well as water fountains with filtered water throughout the property. They also always have a nurse or a doctor on site for any health issues. I am going there again this coming January. It is a wonderful place to re-generate after the holidays.

You should ask at the sales office in San Diego. they have an 800 number. I had a guest once for a day and paid for his lunch. I was staying there and made the arrangements when I was there. Not sure why you want a tour. Part of the fun of arriving for the first time is being wowed by the grounds and ambience. It is gorgeous.

Dear Roger C., Below are the requirements we must consider regarding a service dog: Pre-Arrival • The reason you need to travel with a Service Dog must be disclosed in advance of your arrival, and ideally at the time of making a reservation. • A doctor’s letter stating the need to have a Service Dog and the Service Dog certification must be sent it advance to our First Aid staff. • Vaccination records are necessary for ease of transport across the border. • We will inform all employees and other guests that a Service Dog will be on property. An announcement will be included in each guest’s Welcome Packet, and we’d love to address your Service Dog by name. While at the Ranch • The Service Dog must wear the Service Dog Vest at all times and remain on a leash when outside of the room. • Service Dogs are not allowed in the common areas where other guests will be gathered (i.e. gyms, hikes, dining hall, etc.). • You are responsible for cleaning up after your Service Dog. There is a $250 cleaning fee and additional fees may be applied if there are any damages. We trust this information is helpful and provides you with the information necessary for planning. Please contact our Reservations Office for specifics and further questions. With all good wishes.

I’m not sure but you can ask directly via their website
