    High Value venue in Taos in a beautiful setting
    • Leisure trip

    • Stayed 1 night

    Not my issue but if one cares, small TV screens. Otherwise no worries...Recommended.

    Large two bedroom-two baths is as good as it gets for value in Taos. Excellent bar and dinner dining in a relaxing setting. Beautiful grounds, hot tub and fitness facility. A bit of a walk into town, ~ 10 minutes. Helpful, friendly staff.

    Rooms need a deap clean, found a lot of dust everywhere specialty under the beds.Heater was not working.Back patio needed cleaning, patio furniture is old and filty. Sidewalks are worn out. Parking is not organized well. The entire resort needs renovation. I guess my expectations were very high.

    Like the photos on the website.

    They must have satellite tv and it went out one of the nights because of weather. They comped us a breakfast.

    Elegant furnishings in rooms- comfy beds, in town and close to everything. Beautiful grounds! Unique, beautiful hotel with southwestern furnishings. we went with our two teens (15,17) on ski trip. They had their own separate room and they loved the place as well!!!

    a bar in the toilet area would have helped when getting up from toilet...I was in a walking boot and it was difficult standing without some support I realize this is not always the case with people, but with bad knees etc. I can see a problem with getting up from toilet... since they are lower than most toilets now days.

    lovely grounds, rooms very nice, breakfast was very good.... quiet in the room we did not eat dinner there, the bar was a pleasant area

    Comfortable resort conveniently located in Taos
    • Leisure trip
    • Group
    • Standard Queen Room
    • Stayed 3 nights

    Room was a litte worn (tiles scuffed, walls dirty, light fixtures dusty, etc) and the bathroom sink splashed water everywhere when used. We did not get any robes provided in our room which made it tricky to get to the pool comfortably. Parking lot is terribly configured but there seemed to be enough parking for guests. Overall, it was a little pricey for what it is (over $700 for three nights) but pretty comfortable.

    Comfy beds and pillows and the fireplace in the room was really nice. Food was pretty good, especially the cornbread, but no room service, we had to go pick up any orders ourselves. Housekeeping staff was quick and did a great job daily. Hot tub was nice but too small (there were probably 10-12 people trying to use it). Free yoga class was really good! Location is convenient and close to downtown. In general, the facilities are nice and the staff were friendly.

    1. Housekeeping did not appear following the first night and when I called at 3:30 pm I was told they were still working. Housekeeping did not come and we found a supervisor at 4:10 pm to request that trash be removed. This was a poor response by management and failure to follow up. 2. We were on the ground floor and the only curtains offered for privacy were blackout. A walkway was next to the glass door so the curtain had to be pulled for privacy, leaving the room too dark.

    The setting was lovely - beautiful gardens, pool and public spaces for guests. It was close enough to the center of town to walk.

    Rooms are dark - western Gothic. The mountain room we were initially given was in obvious disrepair. Torn curtains (holes) that don’t close, missing picture over the fireplace - hook and shadow of the picture still evident. Clearly sends a message that there is an element of leadership and caring that is missing from management. Spent the initial two hours of our stay moving around rooms till we were finally installed in a lovely room. The place was far from full so these shenanigans were wholly unnecessary and diminished our stay

    Beautiful grounds around the main area, pond, tree-lined. Very peaceful and serene. Yoga with Alana was awesome. She is the kindest, sweetest person! The valet team were all amazing and helpful!

    Saw allot of spiders, not kept up in the patios. Didn’t like that I mentioned to the front desk to remove a crib out of the room and they completely forgot. The room was a little dark needed extra lighting. Did find a spider in the restroom.

    Very minor issues - no microwave but a fridge in the room, couch in living area has definitely seen better days and needs replacing. Restaurant on site is a bit pricey but has great food!

    Relaxing in the mountains of the high desert starts here! Our favorite thing about this resort is the property itself and the Spa. One of the top spas in the US, it is boutique meaning it does not book a lot of people at once and therefore you have a personal experience. We had incredible treatments two days of the 4 we stayed. The saltwater indoor pool is a dream - space is We stayed in the two bedroom suite “China” which had that theme. It was comfortable with two king beds, giant bathtubs and a living/dining area. As two friends traveling together it was great having our own space. Room was quiet and clean. Plenty of pillows and towels, complementary slippers too! Highly recommend staying during the week if looking for peace and quiet as weddings and wedding parties can happen over the weekends. Staff are extremely friendly, helpful and responsive!
