In current times I was curious how a hotel/resort would truly be able to follow health guidelines; Hacienda Del Sol exceeded my expectations and set the bar for any other resort. The staff were vigilant in mask use, cleaning and keeping guests and themselves safe. Guest services could be reached anytime via text for anything; room service, pool side drinks and checkout to list a few. The staff was welcoming, professional and knowledgeable. Special kudos to Ethan, the bartender at the Catalina pool for making a variety of great drinks including one of the best mojitos I’ve had. He also made sure everyone had water anytime they needed it in the heat. This is hands down my new favorite place to stay in Tucson.

Beautiful grounds but I still cant believe I paid over $350 for what was a converted dormitory Room from when this resort was a girls finishing school. The fitness center is a total joke. See picture.

Amazing. The view from our room was breathtaking. There is a saguaro right outside of the balcony of #73 with a backdrop of the Catalinas. We watched a pair of Gila Woodpeckers feed their young.During the evening there were dozens of Nighthawks putting on an aerial show. I loved the night sounds of the coyotes, crickets and birds.The grounds are amazing. Cool sculptures and loads of beautiful gardens. A photo opt at every turn. The pools were inviting. The families at the pool were loud with sounds of fun.We chose not to dine here this time. We will next time, the food smelled good.

Classic Tucson old southwest style. Still has older library area from guest ranch days. Love the vintage photos!Wonderful views of Catalina Mountains and sunset from older dining room area. Great food and service!

The place is nice and well cared for. Unfortunately the room we stayed was at the older part of the resort and the room smelled like mildew. The bathroom has no ventilation. We could hear everything outside our room.. Probably due to poor insulation since it is an old building.The staff was great. We had a great dinner at the Tarazza restaurant. Food was fast and tasted great. Breakfast was a different experience. It took awhile before we got our drinks and even more before we got our food. I would recommend staying at the new part of the hotel. I think it would’ve been a much better experience.

Beautiful place, but missing a star because they didnt have a microwave in the room. When I called in the morning to get one, it took half an hour for one to arrive.

Wonderful ambiance.While we did not stay at this cool boutique hotel, we enjoyed sunset cocktails from super friendly bartenders and then had a great dinner. We ate on the covered back patio and had a great and attentive server. The gnocchi was amazing. My linguini with lobster was a bit dry and the noodles needed a few more minutes in the pot for my taste, but the flavor was excellent. Prices were on the higher side, but you are paying for the ambiance, which is worth it if it’s a special night out.VictorB

We were very happy about the location, ambiance, pool, Ian, server at the pool, an amazing dinner at the terrace and all of the other employees at the hacienda. My only complaint is I killed 4 various bugs in room 3 and one of the beds is quite old, saggy and squeaky. Every time I changed positions the bed squeaked. I did not have a good nights sleep. Update the mattresses and do your best at pest control and I would definitely return.

This place is so beautiful! Such a great resort to disconnect. I cant say enough about this location. They also have a text messaging service that I suggest using. The pools are both amazing. The view of the mountain took my breath away. The staff was incredibly kind. I also suggest walking the grounds and visiting the shop. I really enjoyed my time at Hacienda. Also the jazz band was incredible!!

We visited the Hacienda Del Sol Guest Ranch over the Thanksgiving holiday and what a wonderful experience it was. Coming from the cold rainy Northwest we thought that maybe we would have a little bit of warmth and sunshine, but that was not to be the case. However, the rain, cold, and wind did not ruin our good time, and the Hacienda provided mini warm cozy areas to hang out in. The grounds are Immaculate and well-maintained and just beautiful to walk around. The staff is excellent and at the ready with any requests you may have. The surrounding area is just a wonderful place to be and a visual gift for the eyes. Our room, a beautiful Suite was not lacking of anything at all and just perfect. I guess the only thing that I would say is that the food was not quite up to the standard that I would have wanted. It wasnt horrible or anything like that, it just wasnt excellent. The Thanksgiving brunch was quite expensive and we thought the food would be extraordinary and instead it was just really an ordinary quality Buffet nothing special. In spite of that, we hope to be able to visit again one day. Thank you Hacienda Del Sol Guest Ranch!

The facility and rooms are absolutely beautiful. The views are beautiful as well. The staff are extremely accommodating and friendly. We especially love all the on site art and landscape. The cocktails were excellent as well. We ate very light but it was very good. Overall a pleasant surprise we will return to.

Very cute little place. Great alternative to a big chain hotel. Pools are a bit small. Staff was very accommodating. They lost a star due to cleanliness. We spilled something on the wood floor and used a towel to wipe it up. The towel came back very dirty. Floors clearly are not cleaned thoroughly. Our feet got dirty walking barefoot around the room. Best guess is the area rug in the room has never been cleaned either.

This is an amazing resort but trust me a lot will depend on what room you get. We ended up upgrading to a Catalina room/suite because I was not happy with my original room. Trust me you want to be in one of the 60-100 buildings. Outstanding service, nice Infinity pool and overall great location.

The restaurant part is really upscale. The service is impeccable, the food is great. The bar area is more low key. Still, really good drinks and amazing service. You should stop there at least once for sure. If you dont want to try the food, come at least to see the venue.

Excellent facility for vacation / work/ conference. Beautiful and scenic surroundings., with modern rooms. Friendly staff and great food. Away from the usual rush. Uber services available ., but I recommend your own car while at the facility and to drive around in the town. You might be able to see some wildlife around the walking trails and a bit of caution is urged on the part of hikers.

Wouldve gave it 5 but the restaurant was plain and bland in taste with a very little menu to choose from. Other than that everything else was excellent and the cherry on top for me was the ability to go mountain biking. Beautiful views. Awesome stay

My family and I had a nice time here. Their was a few issues which really didnt bother us much but in all it was a nice and well needed break from home! With their wonderful restaurant, two swimming pools and beautiful landscapes we are sure we will return some day soon! Except for an employee by the name of Brian, we would like to thank the rest of the staff here for being so helpful and courteous!

OCT 2020 - Thoroughly experienced joy over EVERY. SINGLE. ASPECT. of our 4 night stay.There was a little anxiety, before booking, simply because of COVID and how that could potentially spoil our little 10 year Anniversary holiday. This was our absolute first time traveling, ever, in 2020, and we love love love to travel and so have missed it very much.By every single protocol we saw in place, during our 5 day stay, you could see that HDL was clearly super-duper uber committed to ensuring the health and safety of their Guests, and staff, all the while making sure that each Guest felt as if they’d stepped into another world of peace, serenity, and calm. An escape from all worries and cares of the world.Special shout out to all the staff that could not have made our stay any more peace filled, even if they tried! Bartenders David, Ethan and Matt. Server Jacinth (The Grill; we were blessed to have Jacinth serve our table, 2 nights in a row.) Front Desk Associate Martin. Guest Services Greta and Richard. Events Mgr. JerrieLynne. Reservation Specialist Laura MarshallI’m “old school” and believe praise should be given where it’s deserved and y’all were all wonderful to us!My Mr. is an Elementary grade School Teacher. We’re 1000% certain that we’ll be ready to return, to HDS, come Spring Break 2021. Be there sooner if we could, for sure.

We love attending Mister Bings Supper Club at Hacienda del Sol, so we decided to make a weekend of it. Dinner at the Grill, Sunday brunch (if you arent still full!) and a fantastic show with dinner and dancing Sunday evening. A great way to get into the Christmas spirit! Oh, and a bobcat kitten visited just outside our window, too!

Review №37

Easily one of the most cosy and cost effective resorts to stay in the best location in all of Tucson. Its so charming that i dare say it would be one of the first places i would like to secure as a compound if the world were to go into marshall law and the apocalypse were to happen. But until the world comes to a shattering halt and we are warming our hands over the flame of the dumpster-fire that Trump has rendered America into, I just love hacienda and honestly couldnt say a bad thing about it. Old pueblo style with just the right amount of modern touch and amenities. I honestly feel nostalgic and full of glee just stepping foot onto the property, To me Hacienda is a must go if youre in Tucson. I insist.

Review №38

Very nice, authentic, resort in Tucson. It was once a school for girls so it has an interesting layout. The restaurant is fantastic for both breakfast and dinner and breakfast is a great deal as most dishes are in the $10-15 range. There are two heated pools and hot tubs. Excellent venue for a wedding. There is a daily two complimentary drink program at the pub as well. Consider staying here on your visit to Tucson!

This place was perfect to take maternity pictures! We got numerous shots right before a monsoon rolled in. Staff walked around giving smiles even though we werent eating there.But we did spend our anniversary here so it holds a special place in our hearts. Beautiful grounds if youre wanting a colorful environment to spend a couple hours at! Food was out of this world!!! Cant wait to go back again! Definitely reccomend making a reservation, there are numerous rooms where you can request special viewing.

What a treat this place is! We are local Tucsonans, but have been sheltering in place since late March, and needed 4 new walls to look at. SO HAPPY we chose Hacienda del Sol! We stayed in a Catalina King Suite with the outdoor shower. The shower is over-rated, and honestly gave us the creeps listening to our neighbor shower during our AM coffee...but the room was SPECTACULAR! Bartender David was the best surprise of our stay - working on sommelier cert, he is AMAZING! Let him make you a drink! And the grounds are gorgeous. Just the best!!

Hacienda dek Sol is a wonderful place. Visiting during the time of COVID, I really felt for the staff. The place is really slow right now. Everyone was so friendly, helpful. The food was great, as you come to expect at a place like HDS. The pool we visited was EMPTY, so for the first time in my 20 years of visiting this resort, I felt like I was at a (very wealthy) friends house, swimming in the twilight.I want to commend the ownership and management for their continued employment during this very difficult time. Service was excellent. Here is a sixth star, one for valor.

This is the nicest place i have ever stayed- the room was very large with great amenities- my husband and i each had our own sink area in bathroom- the large deck had a postcard view- it was clean spacious and luxurious - the staff was fantastic- everyone was so helpful and you could tell they also loved the place- the furnishing were comfortable and beautiful- there was fantastic sculpture everywhere- my favorite is a gigantic big man with a huge red glass heart and i wanted to take him home . the restaurant was first class with service and food. the only issue was i did not want to leave. by far the best experience at a resort i have ever had ! highly recommend.

After my grandmothers graveside service, we had her celebration of life at the restaurant. It was a last minute affair, as these things the to be, and the staff was absolutely spectacular!! When we went in to ask for a room we met with Brad their coordinator and he helped us with everything from room to menu to wine selection for a toast. Waitstaff was busy with us, but always polite and friendly. It absolutely felt like everyone went out of the way to make things perfect!! Lunch did take a little longer than expected to come out, but thats what happens when you order from a menu at event with 25+. I cannot recommend Hacienda Del Sol enough!!

The location and views are beautiful; the rooms are large and comfortable, some with patios and great views. Beds comfortable, bathrooms well laid out.Restaurant (we did not eat in the Grill) is poor. Amateurish service, food quality mediocre, long waits when there arent many guests. Upon arrival no one offered to help with our luggage; we were directed to the parking lot near our rooms and then left to our own devices. This wasvery odd, given the extremely high prices at this resort.

We went to Hacienda del Sol for Happy Hour today. Sat at the bar. The bartenders were attentive and engaging. We ordered a appetizer that was seriously under cooked when delivered. The bartenders replaced it immediately and bought the final round of drinks. Could not have done better with a marginal situation. Lemons to lemonade.

#ScarlettSuggests… If you are in Tucson stop by Hacienda Del Sol Guest Ranch Resort. Take some time to wander around the beautiful property then have a bite to eat in the restaurant. If you’re going to be in town for a few days the hotel is top notch. Views from many of the rooms are outstanding. Added bonus: horses!

Martin at the front desk was extremely nice and professional. Unfortunately I did not complete my stay. The 2 bed room I booked was actually unavailable when I checked in. Martin tried to offer me a room with a king bed and a sofa bed, but One of my daughters was too frightened to sleep in a separate room than me. The rooms do have an extremely old western feel, which I was ok with, but the kiddos weren’t used to, which added to the discomfort in sleeping in a different room than mama. There was a bit of a dusty, mold smell when we walked into the room as well, but it was probably because the AC was off in 100 degree weather. Again, Martin did what he can to try to resolve the situation, but the accommodations were unavailable. The appearance and views on the property were beautiful though, so it is unfortunate we could not stay.

Review №87

The ranch history is amazing. The casita we stayed in was nice but, for the price we paid, I was surprised that there was so much in need of repair. The hot water in one shower didnt work. Half the light switches didnt work.The casita had a fireplace but the flue hadnt been cleaned in so long, a fire wouldnt stay lit in it. The stable where horseback riding is offered was in poor repair: The deck where you wait had a huge hole in it and the canopy overhead was moldy and half ripped off.I could keep going but I think you get the idea.The saving grace of the place was the staff, who were very friendly and helpful. My only issue there was how hard it was to get anyone at the front desk and in the kitchen to pick up the phone.Each time I had to call the front, I got the answering machine and had to call back two and three times before someone picked up. The kitchen never did answer when we wanted room service. The front desk had to help us with that.
