It is owned and operated by the Barona Group of Capitan Grande Band of Mission Indians. Visit and let me hear your opinion.Barona Group of Capitan Grande Band of Mission Indiansīarona Resort and Casino is an Indian casino on the Barona Indian Reservation located in Lakeside, in San Diego County in California. I have traveled to several Harrah's properties, pechanga, pala, valley view, Tropicana, viejas, syquan, Caesars, flamingo, Reno casinos, Florida casinos, new orlean and others but none compare to barona casino in customer appreciation and service. They will even provide u with cold bottle water on your departure. The best valet service you will ever experience.

Customers, receive, the absolute best service. Good thing is that, alcohol is limited.😅 Casino is located on absolutely beautiful grounds. Employees walk through the casino passing out ice cream. They also provide free ice cream in the casino. Provide free snacks at the machines and extra snacks in the evening. Rooms are comfortable, wifi is available, free bottled water in the rooms daily and rooms always smell fresh and inviting. Majority of staff is extremely helpful and knowledgeable about everything pertaining to the casino and surrounding area.

Always greets u with a smile and often name recognition. The best, friendly staff ever encountered. And no, I don't have any association with this casino. Good communication with casino hostesses both named Jessica. Good tasting coffee at the hotel desk area. From time to time, they gave out cash to slot players at random. Dealers, pit boss, valet, and bell desk all called me by first name. I did not do it, but they will bring your food into the casino on a little table. The food court/grill area Mexican food was outstanding. The steak house and Italian was good to very good. Their cafe food was above average and service was good. They provide electric carts free of charge which gave me access to the entire casino. I was comped for all three plus some food.

Why? This was a three day stay for the first time. Barona is the best casino I have ever stayed at. I do not like the big properties on the Vegas strip as my walking is limited. I am not a big money player but do enjoy slots and card games. I use a casino as entertainment and vacation destination.
