Im a 38 year old female that doesnt leave reviews often, but I wanted to leave a few comments that may help anyone trying to decide whether to book here. Ive been to Miraval in Austin as well so this is the second wellness retreat Ive been to. The classes and services are top-notch. Every instructor and clinician is knowledgeable and passionate about what they do and thats what I appreciated the most compared to Miraval. The food wasnt as good as Miraval, and there were no slippers in the room, but I plan to return in the future just because of the high level of service and the great services they provide.
I am often invited to Canyon Ranch to do contracting repairs, and I never been so impressed with the staff and how they show the clients there, so much respect and grace also thats how they treat their employees. I really recommend this place for the solitude and Serenity. Hats off to executive management for setting the tone.
Canyon Ranch is so wonderful. I had been to the Lenox location as well and they are very different but the level of service, the level of food, and the ambiance are all wonderful. I loved the privacy of the individual buildings that housed the rooms. The lunch and learns with chef Shaun are awesome. I had a watsu massage that was damn near spiritual, and the views cannot be beat. Absolutely worth every penny if you go!
Exception holistic experience. Excellent fare. Endless physical activity. Insightful doctors. Very special place
Great environment, lovely place to stay however it is not a destination for party goers. The ambiance is mellower, for hikers or people who enjoys walks. Staff is fantastic and the head of Housekeeping is such a pleasant personality.
Its a great place to relax the scenery is amazing the food excellent exercise classes invigorating the renovated rooms nice not enough draws however. Attendants in locker rooms not as attentive as they should be And of course this place costs a small fortune
Too many changes from the original Canyon Ranch. Less staff, no shows for lectures (staff or presenters didn’t show up), staff running from class to class, nothing to do most evenings after dinner. Food was the best ever and dining room servers were terrific. Locker room needs more staff as well.
Had family in town and we set them up to stay here. We only stay at the best of the best and this place definitely was perfect for our family in town! Thank you again!
Great place to go to refresh and relax. Awesome food, great fitness classes, heavenly spa and beautiful campus. Love it!
One of the best places in town for vacation and to get your life back in order. I enjoyed my time being a staff here.
Canyon ranch used to be amazing. Ever since the new owners have taken over, however, it’s just been on a downhill spiral. They hired new people mostly everywhere, who seem like they are fresh out of college and don’t have any experience in a top high clientele resort. They’ve hired three star employees while still trying to claim to be a 5 star health resort. Very disappointing. They’ve stopped caring about their older loyal clientele and are focusing on spending their money trying to reel in a younger one. The few employees who are still here after the massive let go and who made the cut just seem miserable. I would like to stay optimistic and say there’s a light at the end of this tunnel, but unfortunately it just does not seem to be possible.
Love this resort!! Weve been on site for some day events and enjoyed the amazing food in the cafe! Highly recommend if you are looking for a retreat at an amazing resort.
Oh my gosh. Whenever I go to Canyon Ranch, its to visit someone whos already staying there. Great casitas, great seclusion and great safety. One of Tucsons best attractions for the health-conscious patron.
The most wonderful place for respite and relaxation, contemplation and self reflection.
Amazing adventure. Enjoyed everything, the classes, the seminars, the food was amazing, the Ranch personal were all wonderful. Would feel comfortable going by myself and plan on going back next year.
The food and service was impeccable. The Santa Catalina Mountains are spectacular.
Canyon Ranch Tuscon consistently provides an incomparable, extraordinary spa experience. My definite oasis from the desert grind of daily life. At The Ranch I enjoy hiking, biking, tennis, massages, and chef prepared healthy, but absolutely delicious dining throughout the day. Spacious, comfortable, quiet rooms are suitable for all manners of relaxation and downtime, TV and wireless internet access. Staff are the friendliest, most knowledgeable professionals that you will ever meet, from sharing workout techniques to discussing historical landmarks., they definitely enhanced the trip experience for me. Canyon Ranch provides my annual time of healing, rejuvenation, and recuperation. I highly recommend Canyon Ranch to anyone seeking a retreat that provides energy, healthy living, and personal care in a warm and engaging environment with like minded friends. I am currently scheduling my fourth trip to Canyon Ranch, this summer!
Extraordinary wellness resort! A week that my sister and I will never forget!
Amazing experience in physical, spiritual and psychological improvement
Canyon Ranch is an outstanding wellness location equipped with the latest technologies and staff Buy well trained professionals in exercise physiology gait analysis medicine and other health approaches. It boasts a very comprehensive approach to wellness including exercise, nutrition, outdoor sports, personal transformation, yoga and other amenities. The staff is outstanding, people of all backgrounds are welcome, and the entire campus is gorgeous.
An awesome getaway to rejuvenate yourself
Canyon Ranch was an absolute dream. As a first timer, I had read a few of these reviews and was a little bit worried. But literally not one concern that had been expressed here was an issue. I am a seasoned, discerning traveler who has stayed at many high-end resorts, and everything from the shuttle service to and from the airport to the rooms (both renovated and not renovated) to the service to the classes and the spa was perfect. Every staff member our group of three women came into contact with bent over backwards to help make our stay the wonderful getaway that it was (I’m looking at you, Kayley from the Grill!).The Rooms/Grounds: I had an unrenovated executive king. It was secluded, had a stunning mountain view, was huge, clean, and the bed was very comfortable. It really didn’t feel dated to me (and I’m a 30-something who is very picky about this). Instead, it just felt “western” and went with the whole vibe of the ranch. Now, one of my friends I went with had a renovated executive king, and she was the envy of all of us. The renovated rooms are GORGEOUS with huge soaking tubs, a washer and dryer.The grounds were stunning. Mountain views abound, tiny lizards scurry about, the landscaping was all well done and in good shape, and I thoroughly enjoyed the walk from my room to the main buildings each morning. DO NOT MISS the meditation gardens!The Food: We were a little bit worried about being starving the entire time we were here or eating rabbit food, but this could not have been further from the truth. Everything is “unlimited” and delicious while remaining very health conscious. You can order multiple portions at either restaurant, half portions, etc. The main restaurant has a great salad bar and a made-to-order pasta bar that rotates its offerings nightly. In the morning, it’s an omelet bar and there is a small continental breakfast bar with fresh fruits, yogurt, nuts, etc. that you can have in addition to the meals. Every bite of food we had was awesome. ALSO… there is dessert, and it’s all fairly healthy and all so, so good. We thought we were going to have to keep a secret stash of chocolate somewhere, but we were well satisfied. We also appreciated that the food came out quickly at both dining establishments, since we always had something coming up on our schedule!The Classes/Activities: We took advantage of so many of the classes, and all were wonderful. One thing that I noticed was that all of the instructors quickly became familiar faces. I loved Juan in particular, and we took multiple classes with him (desert drumming, drum circle, Bosu 3D Extreme, and World Dance) and had a BLAST every single time. His energy was infectious. The TRX classes were another favorite. We also partook in meditation, yoga, tabata, spin (AMAZING playlist and awesome challenge, even for a very seasoned spinner), and core classes, all of which were well done, challenging, and the instructors were fabulous.We zip lined at night and ABSOLUTELY LOVED our guides (Randy and Adria, if we recall their names correctly) and the experience itself was super fun and different than many zip lines we have experiences in the past. We would highly recommend it.Bingo and Canvas Painting were great fun and the perfect way to spend our evenings.The Spa: I had many services at the spa, and everything was divine. The spa facilities themselves were great, everyone working in them was lovely and helpful, and the service providers were very talented. (Hey Sandy… I’ll be dreaming of your massages!)Customer Service: We really weren’t a needy bunch, but there were several times we had requests here and there, and we were never, ever told no. Ever. We didn’t encounter one unfriendly staff member, and if someone didnt know an answer to a question (which was rare), they found someone who did.I cant stress enough what a beautiful stay we had at this resort, and the only downside was leaving.
This was a lovely place to both relax and learn new ways to exercise and eat. The people could not be more helpful or willing to lend a hand. The food is outrageously delicious and is served all day. I would recommend this as a vacation for couples or a friend get away.
Truly amazing! Canyon Ranch is an incredible Wellness Resort that allows one to pursue optimal health and wellness for mind, body, and spirit. It offers so much and there is no comparison to any other place in the world. At Canyon Ranch in Tucson is their Life Enhancement Center, which houses week long in-depth programs focused on healthy lifestyle and optimal living. At the Life Enhancement Center, guests have transformative wellness experiences that are truly life changing!
An incredibly magnificent place that is second to none. If you want to be pampered, eat fantastically healthy meals that excite your every tastebud, walk in the most naturally beautiful landscape the Sonora desert can offer that is manicured daily, or create a new healthy you, then Canyon Ranch Health Resort will exceed those desires on a scale that will mesmerize you. If you go once, youll go again, and again, and ... well, you get my drift!
Invited for dinner. Lovely selection of food. Wide variety of well portioned entrees. Best way to approach is to go in waves. Only small note, some of the staff really didnt look like they wanted to be in the restaurant.
Prokope LLC LIMO SERVICE. Drove a client down from the Phoenician. The place looked really nice.
My mom works there and the environment there is like no other, very peaceful and happy
The atmosphere is very relaxing and Zen like; plus the activities such as hiking, running and unlimited exercise sessions are wonderful. Add in the spa treatments, food selections, the staff to help you prepare your flexible agenda prior to your stay are awesome. I can’t wait to go back!
I love the ranch but this year our driver who did the airport pick-up didnt speak to me or my friend. He seemed aggravated that our luggage hadnt come out of the baggage claim fast enough and he barely spoke a word on the trip over. Other than that this year the food seems to be fantastic we plan on getting into some activities the rest of the week that were here and its just as beautiful as I remember it from last time but what happened to the giraffe?
Canyon Ranch is my happy place. A terrific health and wellness vacation that I look forward to year after year.
We had a wonderful trip. Beautiful hotel and wonderful, unique surroundings. After an afternoon on mountain bikes, the spa was perfect for after the ride recovery. Very helpful, friendly staff. Pedro, in the cafe could not have been more accommodating. We will definitely return
Was going to spend a great deal of money there for my 30th birthday. Called to ask questions. Receptionist was rude and when I called back, she hung up on me. Too bad.
Good service. Clean room. AC didnt keep up with humidity very well. Bar was pretty dead. Grounds looked especially nice due to all the rain.
This is my second experience at Canyon ranch, and although I just did a day spa this time instead of staying for multiple days, its SO worth it. Absolutely wonderful staff, grounds, and experience as a whole. Life changing, honestly. Theres so much to do and to learn and everything you do makes you feel healthier in mind and body. If you can afford it, do it.
Very disappointing not value for money.Tired.The one thing they are very good at is apologizing, they are terrific at it. I thing they have had lots of experience. Nothing changes the things that are wrong stay wrong, but the apologies are great ! After 25 years will not be coming back.
A total bust. Instead of the room we reserved, we were placed in an outdated, tired casita off of the main property that hadn’t been updated since the 80’s (the room music system was a CD, analog “boom box” as an example). The staff was unresponsive, and explained that they were undergoing renovations and it would be better a year from now. The customer service was poor with an entitled attitude, and the food only a shadow of what we experienced at Miraval. I would recommend the Miraval or any Auberge property over this hands down. Way over hyped.
I work and play here. Spectacular!
Beautiful and classic.
This is a wonderful place to recalibrate. Ample opportunities for as much or as little activity as you desire. Many different classes, physical activities, body-mind classes, wonderful staff, great food.
Its heaven on earth
Im currently working and renovating there right now. Beautiful view
I loved it. Amazing grounds, food, staff, and activities. Very friendly and knowledgeable staff. I did classes, ropes course, hiking, running, biking, hot tubs, and spa. The day is loaded with potential activities to chose from.
My husband and I enjoyed 4 very full and refreshing days. Its great to be immersed in physically challenging and healthy space. It allowed us to refocus on our workout goals, and recalibrate our palates. As others have noted, the rooms are getting tired and need refreshing. We had droopy curtains that were difficult to close (and even then didnt close completely) and electrical outlets are lacking. While there were sufficient outlets, the placement was awkward. In a resort like this, I now expect ample outlets incorporated into the decor and places so we dont have wires all over the place.
Nice place super expensive.
Was an invited guest. Nice place.
Very beautiful! Staff is amazing and the views are gorgeous!
Incredibly high end location for anyone looking for a sublime retreat. Although expensive, the all inclusive plans for food and athletics feel natural and just give an amazing experience. Not to mention the completely competent staff and amazing guest services.
Under a remodel construction workers are speeding all through the neighborhood,So watch out!
The original integrative wellness resort, Canyon Ranch is the best place to reset your life on a course for health and happiness.
High end resort with every amentity
Best WiFi mesh network of any resort Ive visited. The mountain hiking, food, people, spa, and scenery were also amazing. Id rate 5 stars if they manage to update the horrible mattresses in the guest rooms.
Beautiful accommodations, such serene surroundings. Life changing experience!
Mandy or Amanda was extremely rude and unprofessional.
What a disappointmnet For 25 years a great great experience built on a great concept... The new owners care about one thing Return on investment and it showsin everything they do or dont do.. They have changed many policies I guess the CEO did great at GM but this is not her calling card .. I have been a member for 10 years in both Lenox and Tucson and to stay i am disappointed with the new management team is an understatement
Love it. 5th time going. New management and owners. They are upping the game
I delivered there with work. Everyone was super busy but still made time to make sure I knew where to put my delivery and get me on my way in an efficient manner
Was very spread out and was not nearly as high-end as expected
Its an amazingly refreshing and relaxing place, to take at your own pace, and be fully accepted as you work to better yourself. Highly recommended!!
Fantastic every time. A true jewel for peace.
Beautiful property with amazing services. Staff is kind and attentive. Food is healthy and delicious with a variety of options available for guests. Spa services are fantastic and plentiful.
Great food and great place to stay. Bad management...
This was my second visit after visiting a year ago. The difference was like night and day. The facilities were in need of maintenance and very much in need of repair. The dining options at the main dining room were very limited compared to a year ago. I do not intend to return.
Great for health and unwind ! Great walking trails
It is a great place they focus entirely in you body, mind and soul. They need a little work with their management system.
Clean rooms, friendly staff, beautiful location.
Oh boy, talk about VIP treatment! Such an amazing place! Be it a spa day or a week of treatment, Canyon Ranch is the best!
Amazing local resort that is all inclusive with lots of activities and amazing food. Quite the restorative trip!
When I first arrived I was greeted by a very friendly attendant that explained to me where to go to meet a friend for dinner. Dinner was some of the best food I have ever had, salad bar and the chicken stir fry. Afterwards I had an amazing dessert of cheese cake and lemon gelato. Over all a wonderful experience and I would recommend it to anyone.
Canyon ranch is a 5 star health and wellness resort, it is by reservation only! Cant be on property without permission.
Struggling with their identity after new ownership took over, but have made some positive changes, as well. Mixed reviews by loyal long -time members.
Beautiful location. Good company maybe 30 years ago before money and greed took over. This is a place supposed to be about health and wellness but it couldnt be further from the truth. $1000 a night just to stay there.. 3 night minimum may i add. And that only includes food. The rest you better bring some hefty cash! The employees are treated terribly. They have to fight for minimum wage and equal coverage. Everyone is overworked and under appreciated. The guests can feel the employees angst and often times leads to unsatisfactory experiences. If Canyon Ranch could stop being so greedy and invest its money where it matters, Id say it would be as magical as it tries to advertise. But until then, view this as yet another money hungry ceo that genuinely doesnt care about your well being but rather how many zeros are in your bank account.
I stayed here a couple of weeks ago and had a good experience. Excellent service and the rooms are clean.
Love this place, so much to do great staff, beautiful resort.
Great people friendly make you feel like family.
Friendly employees. Beautiful landmark. Lots of wildlife.
This place is awesome!
Simply indescribable. You have to go to know.
1st class.
I went to reboot and to shape new habits to get rid of some of the lbs I had added. But I left completely refreshed and rejuvenated. It was like a 3 for 1 special!! I learned new simplified cooking methods, experienced some really terrific exercise options, learned all sorts of odd things I never considered such as sleeping posture and how to effectively use your pillow. Not to mention the staff is authentically kind and helpful. I went alone and enjoyed the entire experience and hope to do it again next year. It was money well spent, it has changed several of my relationships. (Perhaps I needed to chill out and be in the moment a bit more often.) Do it for yourself and the ones you love!
Fabulous! Such a great experience and very happy with their team, treatments, services and food
I emceed this most recent New Years Eve event at Canyon Ranch. An amazing resort with an amazing staff.
Upscale holistic resort.
The most remarkable combination of natural beauty and extraordinary services.
A beautiful place to unwind and recharge body and spirit!
Gorgeous location, huge room with every accommodation that you want and top notch service.
Beyond my expectations, the classes and services were excellent, the food was great, and the facility itself is extremely impressive
Because I work there
AMazing. Have been here 4 times. Cant wait to return again.
Outstanding. This was a vacation and the facility provided a multitude of activities, phenomenal meals and exclusive location.
Beautiful campus.
One of the finest Fitness resorts in the world
Nice to stay, great food and immersive healing place.
