The ranch is not at all like it appears in social media sites. It is unkept on the grounds as well as the rooms. The service from staff is poor and unreliable. The food is not at all as presented on the social media websites. Hospitality is lacking in efficiency. Manager was called and did not return our calls to our cell phone.

Our three-generation family group of eleven spent five nights at Tanque Verde Ranch. Our entire experience--lodging, food and activities--was excellent. The two youngest kids participated in the kids program and loved it. There were also plenty of activities for teens and adults. One of the kids in our group has serious food allergies; the food service staff did an OUTSTANDING job of accommodating his needs and choices. We are already signed up to come back next year!

Friendly staff, beautiful grounds, delicious (and ample) food. Tanque Verde is all about the experience…whether it’s horseback riding, hiking, pickleball or axe throwing there is a way to have fun and an exceptional experience. It’s definitely a place for family…at least over the holidays. We (as many other guests) have returned because of the memories created and the fun and laughter shared.

The sunset ride with Mike was excellent. Would do it again! The food was average, yet pricey. The ranch is a beautiful property. The horses were tame and friendly. And the Saguaro National forest is within walking distance. The staff nice and helpful. In all fun, but pricey!

Highly recommend! We travel a lot, and it's hard to come by a place that has such consistently friendly and competent staff, from the front desk to the activity guides to the food and beverage team, everyone was great. We had a wonderful experience and would definitely go back.

Tanque Verde Ranch was our first experience with a guest ranch. We arrived in Arizona not knowing what to expect. When we finally arrived we were both amazed by the place. Our room was upgraded to a fireplace suite and it was lovely and spacious with a back patio that opened onto the wide desert. The horseback rides out into the Sonoran desert were both beautiful and exciting. The food was fabulous. It was the best vacation we'd ever had!
