Canyon Ranch Wellness Resort Tucson

Fantastic experience ! The team is amazing . The place is so peaceful and the food is to die for . There are plenty of activities and the schedule is very well organized . Also felt very safe and amazing communication with the online portal . I will be back for sure

My wife and I had another visit to Canyon Ranch in Tucson that we have come to expect: a uniquely beautiful setting in the Sonoran Desert, at the foot of four mountain ranges, with an array of wellness classes, lectures and spiritual experiences that nourish the soul. The food was better than ever, and it is now discretely augmented by fine wines, too. But, it is the staff that is the core of satisfaction for guests, a staff who, by their nature and training, consistently impart fun, excitement and learning throughout our stay, program after program. They will even customize activities to suit the most unusual client preferences. Did I mention that the weather is reliably perfect for outdoor activities?

I first visited Canyon Ranch when it opened, i think Dec. 1979, (not Nov. 2024 but had to chose a date for this review.) A Houston friend called who was there and excitedly said come and see CR, there is nothing like it in the world! So I arrived from Houston the next day. We all became friends with Enid and Mel Zuckerman and were returning regularly for the next 6-7 years. Our lives were completely changed. I was the model on the CR brochure and I recommended CR to my friends.Our health and lives benefited beyond what we ever could have imagined. Canyon Ranch and the Sonoran Desert are with me all my life now even after forty five years. I am sad to read negative reviews here about CR. I just recommended CR to my primary care doctor and I hope the negative reviews are not true. Mel called me Miss Canyon Ranch. To this day I live up to that name and I hope CR is still the life changing, even life saving, place that is was and was meant always to be. It was an opportunity to make our lives the best they can be and you get out of the experience what you put into it....participate in all the Ranch has to offer.

I took this trip for some me time from my busy life and splurged to treat myself. From the moment I arrived I have been disappointed. Let’s start with after 7hrs traveling to get here, there is no-one at the front to help with luggage or bags or to great you warmly upon arrival. My room was positioned in the back of the property, I asked for it to be moved closer to everything, they couldn’t do so. Ok fine. I was starving, it’s an all inclusive resort… restaurant told me in 15minutes too late to order anything.. go to the cafe… I go to the cafe… they are sold out of sandwiches. ‘Sir - where can I get something to eat… we are in the middle of nowhere and this resort is supposed to be all inclusive? Oh, they serve dinner at 5”. (In 2 1/2hrs). Great. I go to the room to decompress, no water or any beverages in the fridge in the room, no snacks or food. I go to the bathroom, I cut my hand on sharp chipped porcelain sink they never fixed… the faucet is dirty… I head to dinner, they have one restaurant and I am ONE person, sorry mam, we can’t accommodate you until later… unreal. This place costs a fortune, what a disappointing day. Service horrible, food availability horrible, facilities are super run down, room is unclean - I’m really disappointed and I’m staying here another three days. I highly recommend Mirival over this, I won’t make that mistake again.

10/10 this was the best experience I have had. It was absolutely beautiful, relaxing, fun, and restorative. From the campus, to the classes, the gym, the spa, the food, the services I genuinely loved it all. All of the staff from the pick up all the way to drop off were welcoming, friendly, and helpful. My partner and I chose the spa renewal package and got to tailor the services to what we each wanted - head neck shoulders massage, acupuncture, private yoga, a collagen facial, along with many others. All of the service providers were kind, welcoming, helpful, and knowledgable. Between those, the classes, and presentations I actually learned a ton about health and wellness (and Im a therapist). We started our mornings with walks which was nice to see the area. Then we would do the yogas, meditations, and health related classes, go to the gym which had everything we needed, and then used the spa for hot tub/sauna/cold plunge which was all amazing and relaxing. As a vegetarian that eats whole foods, the food was fantastic. I really liked all of the options and felt nourished and was able to get enough protein. They also had wellness shots, smoothies, salad bars - it was just so so nice. We chose the Tuscon location to get to see a new area, coming from NYC and it was beautiful. Also the buildings were really pretty, we thought it was such a cool aesthetic and the people were quite chill and easy going. It was a nice ambiance, I never felt judged or like anyone was rude, plus we got to be casual and comfortable. It was a chilled out vibe. We stayed for 4 nights which was enough to hit a ton of services and classes, but I wish I could've done more! I actually teared up leaving and have been sad since lol the sign of a good and needed trip!!! Would absolutely recommend.
