Overall Ratings & Reviews Yaamava’ Resort & Casino at San Manuel

We attended an event at the theatre, and ate a delicious dinner at the Pines Steakhouse, so we wanted to stay on property. The rooms are nice, but they’re really overpriced for the quality and size. We would travel there more often if the rooms were reasonably priced, since we also spending $$$$ on entertainment and food.

The surrounding area from this casino is ugly

Very nice facility with wonderful staff

All staffs were very nice and polite. The best experience ever.

I had not been here before and expected a dirty, smoke filled place and instead, it was elegant and the staff is very attentive. The amenities were lovely and the parking was easy. I loved my room.

The staff was friendly and accommodating. Overall a great stay

Loved the customer service

First time visiting. I was impressed

Nice property with lots of different amenities. Friendly staff. Enjoyed our week long stay

Beautiful Property

Everything was very neat and clean. Service was excellent. Employees were very helpful and willing to assist me

Staff are all very well trained. They are all customer service oriented. We came for the Tom Jones concert and stayed one night. The room was comfortable, the pool was spotless, and the casino was smoke free. All the way around, we had a very positive experience.

Very nice hotel/casino. Seems like it is in like new condition. Staff are excellent. Rooms are clean and very nicely appointed. Tiniest complaint with the noise from the A/C but it worked very well. We went to a concert while there and the facility was spotless, sound was excellent and again the staff ws exceptional

Love it

The service was consistently outstanding.

Cannot emphasize that high quality of customer service as well as luxurious place can be.

The hotel is top notch. It is very clean, the beds are extremely comfortable, and the decor is impeccable. They could use more trash cans in the bathrooms however. The casino is above average. It is very loud which we didn’t like. There aren’t a lot of standalone video poker machines which was disappointing. All are on the first floor or at the bars. The variety of games is ok, but not great. It’s great that it’s non-smoking. I will overlook the video poker limitations because of the non-smoking situation. The food court is next to the video poker section so the smell of Asian food is a strong and a little gross. I’d move the video poker section to avoid putting people off from the smell. The Pines Steakhouse is above average but not great. The service is outstanding, the food is above average but the cost is outrageous. $60 for an 8 ounce filet with no sides is overpriced in my book. $14 for a baked potato is a bit much as well. Dinner for four was $500 (with tip). I didn’t think it was worth it. We got upgraded to a suite which was fabulous. However, their website says they tier match but they wouldn’t tier match us. We were Diamond at Barona and they wouldn’t match us. They need to change their website then because it doesn’t list which CA casinos that they tier match and we found this very misleading. That’s the pros and cons of Yaamava in my assessment.

The food was great at both restaurants we dined at. but staff was very inefficient. Its difficult to get in restaurants without a reservation, the casino is on two floors and its very difficult to navigate, and we had a pool view room and they played extremely loud music until 12:00 a.m. at the pool. The front desk staff was very efficient, personable, and even gave us a personal escort to our room. Our room was beautiful, but didnt care for the espresso coffee. But bottom line for Yaamava is $1,000.00 per night for a room is outrageous! We wil not be going back.

Beautiful hotel, clean, comfy, friendly. Great casino, upgraded to a suite……amazing.
