Wits End Guest Ranch Resort & Spa

The resort grounds, the room, and service at the restaurant were all great. Unfortunately, they fell short in two areas, the hostess stand was in total disarray and had great difficulty sorting things out on more than one occasion. The second is the popularity of this resort for special events. Each night we were there, a wedding or some other event was taking place which detracted from our stay. Pool areas were closed off, parking was a nightmare, walking through the center area of the resort was difficult and when later in the evening the some of the event guests were drunk and loud when heading past our room on their way out. Beautiful grounds, but the peace and tranquility which should have accompanied it was ruined by these events.

This resort was fantastic! As soon as we arrived I felt like I was home. All the staff are dedicated to your comfort. The complimentary valet service and ride to the spa on the golf cart was so appreciated. Sunrise and sunset views are breathtaking, but truthfully there are no bad times to take in the Catalina Mountain vistas from this historic hotel. The desert gardens are beautifully maintained and include countless pieces of art to admire at every turn. Each day of your stay, each turn into a new room, or each path you discover in the gardens, will have you feeling as if you’ve opened a new gift. Everywhere you look there was a quirky new surprise. Our room was beautifully decorated and spacious with a private furnished veranda. The beds were very comfortable. The bathroom with two separate sinks and vanities was lovely. The extra touches of daily complimentary bottles of water, coffee, fridge, bath robes, slippers and beautiful smelling bath products showed great attention to detail. Our day at the spa for a massage and facial was sublime. Special shout out to Ida and Monica. We spent the entire day after our service lounging in the hot tub and private garden listening to the birds in our own private oasis. We ordered a charcuterie board and some drinks delivered for lunch from the restaurant. I was sad to leave. Special shout out to Chef Mateo and his staff at the Grill. The grilled halibut dish he prepared for us was one of the best meals we’ve ever eaten. A shout out to Nick and all the other friendly servers who remembered our names and provided impeccable service for all our meals also. We cannot wait to return!

My wife and I have been to many 4 & 5-star resorts, but this one was the best overall, due to its rustic charm, great views, and EXEMPLARY staff!! The staff is VERY friendly, respectful, polite, and ALWAYS looking to help in any way! TOP NOTCH!!

Absolutely beautiful campus. Super-friendly and helpful staff. Convenient food offerings on site and very close to food and shopping options nearby. The rooms are quite nice but very noisy, you can easily hear neighbor conversations and TV 🙉

Chose Hacienda Del Sol for Birthday, Anniversary, And St Patrick's day and didn't go wrong. We choose a Sonoran Room King with a view. Our view was to the southeast was beautiful at sunrise and city view at night was great. Room was very nice, very clean and well maintained. all was great there. Our stay was fantastic!!! Mona, Britney, Briana at guest services made sure anything we asked for was taken care of from room service ( we recommend for sunrise on patio) to dinner reservation just a outstanding job. Steven was very helpful guiding us around for dinning, drinks and other activities. The Terraza Garden Patio & Lounge has inside and out side dinning food was very good and service was great. We dined three time at The Grill and Nick, Grayson and Anglo took great care of us. Sunday we tried the St Patrick's brunch at the Grill and were not disappointed. Selection of traditional food was available but, the St Patrick's day selections were all there with fantastic flavors. Anniversary dinner on Monday was all we could ask for beautiful table over looking the valley at sunset, excellent service, drinks, and food. The chief special that night was Chapino we were not disappointed. Thank you all for the fine foods. Hacienda Del Sol Resort is great for special stays or just to relax the history, service, and dinning make it very special. Resort is pet friendly but there is a fee. Beside the resorts great amenities there are great places to visit close by, Degrazia Gallery in the Sun is just up the road, and The Mini Time Machine Museum Of Miniatures ( great see the craftmanship of vintage Doll houses and miniatures) and Reed Park Zoo( Great Zoo) or if your really adventurous drive to the top of Mount Lemon( Summer Haven). We are looking forward to our next stay
