Room Reservations

It's never too early to make your room reservation. This location is so wonderful the room block will fill quickly.   The room block will only be available until September 25, 2008 and after that time the hotel will not honor our group rate. Don't be left out in the cold, make your reservation today. 

Our special convention room rate is $159.00.

In addition to the specified room rates, there will be an Automatic Daily Resort charge of $10.00, per room, per night, plus applicable taxes, which are currently 10%. A Resort Charge is an automatic $10.00 per room, per night charge that covers a number of Resort services and amenities that would customarily be charged to each guest individually.  The Resort Charge at the Resort includes: toll free, credit card, and local calling, entrance to the fitness center, in-room high-speed Internet access, in-room coffee and tea, and daily newspaper (Sunday upon request).  As a “per room” charge (versus per person), the Resort Charge covers all registered room guests.  In addition to the services listed above, this charge entitles Resort guests to discounted coupons at The River (outdoor shopping and dining area directly across from Rancho Las Palmas).   

Reservation requests should be phoned in to the following number:  (866) 423-1195.  It is important that you contact the Resort   no later than September 25, 2008 and identify yourself as part of  CBA, and provide the Resort with attendee name, home or business address, email address (if any), requested type of room, requested bed type (i.e. king, double/double, queen, twin or suites), check-in and check-out dates, preference for smoking or non-smoking room and VIP status.  Any requests for special room arrangements must be made at the time of this call.  The Resort does not confirm reservations to individual attendees in writing.

When reservations are made, the Resort requires a deposit equal to the room rate and taxes for the first night for each reservation.  An individual’s deposit is refundable to that individual if the Resort receives notice of an individual’s cancellation at least 3 days prior to scheduled arrival. Upon check-in, each attendee will be required to present a valid credit card upon check-in, on which an amount of sufficient pre-authorization can be obtained to cover the room and tax charges, and Automatic Daily Resort Charge and taxes thereon for the length of the attendee’s stay, plus the anticipated use of the Resort’s ancillary services, and Resort requires each attendee’s home/business address and e-mail address. Each attendee must settle his or her account in full upon departure.
