Wits End Guest Ranch Resort & Spa

We stayed in two Sonoran rooms for a week with our 5-year-old and his grandmother. The grounds are genuinely beautiful and well-kept while still feeling true to the ecosystem roots. We ate breakfast and dinner at Terraza nearly every day and it was consistently good food and friendly service in a lovely setting. The Rincon pool was a highlight for our kid, who is still learning to swim. There's a nice shallow section that let him play independently while we relaxed nearby. For the birders: there are no feeders on the property, but the less-landscaped edges of the grounds had plenty of Sonoran Desert birds. We had Gambel's Quail, Gila Woodpecker, Black-throated Sparrow, Abert's Towhee, Black-tailed Gnatcatcher, Phainopepla, multiple hummingbird species, and a Greater Roadrunner on the grounds, among others. Morning walks before the family woke up were a personal highlight of the trip for me. A wonderful home base for a multigenerational Tucson visit. We'd come back.

Beautiful historic resort surrounded by stunning landscapes. It was like stepping back in time. Staff was wonderful. Small touches like golf cart rides to where we needed to go and bottled water on demand were much appreciated.

I brought my daughters to Tucson for a girls Spring getaway with a little hiking and some Spa time. We checked in to the charming and historic 2 Bedroom Casita Grande, with a living room and kitchen and a beautiful view of the mountains. The next day we came back from our day excursion and were preparing to head over to the spa, when we noticed water pouring into one of the bedrooms, apparently through the baseboards. This is a stand-alone casita, so I ran outside and noticed a hose left on watering a tree in a pot. The water was cascading over the pot down the hill and formed a huge puddle right next to our room. I rushed to turn off the hose and contacted management. To their credit, they came immediately and brought industrial vacuums to mediate the water that was pouring in. The tile floors were easily cleaned, but I don't understand why they insisted on leaving the sodden rug in the room. Even though they vacuumed and put dryers on it for 2 days, it still smelled like mildew. They did offer to move us to another room, but we had already unpacked the day before, had groceries in the fridge and pantry, and had activities booked for the rest of the day and for dinner. They eventually gave us a credit for the trouble, but the experience and the sound of the dryers for 2 days was not restful to say the least. The staff was apologetic and tried to be helpful. Bottom line: the Hacienda is a quaint historic hotel with very lovely grounds, but don't expect the level of quality or service of a top notch resort.

Beautiful surroundings, convenient location, very friendly staff. You'll need to make a stop at the grocery store for snacks/drinks to have on hand in your room. Note: There is not a microwave in the room.

Stunning resort with unforgettable landscaping and views. We stayed in the John Wayne Room. Love learning the history of the resort and all of the amenities. Food was beyond excellent. Thank you for the vegan/vegetarian options. It was an outstanding experience.
