Would visit again. Gorgeous location, amazing staff. Nestled in the foothills of the Santa Catalina Mountains on 34 acres of natural desert landscape, the setting is truly breathtaking Tripadvisor — there's nowhere quite like it. The resort has been offering timeless elegance and warm hospitality since 1929 Haciendadelsol, and you can feel that history woven into every corner. The authentic adobe structures, hand-carved wood-beamed ceilings, and botanical gardens surrounding the casitas Tripadvisor make the whole property feel special and unlike any modern hotel. The staff went above and beyond to make our stay memorable, and the dining was exceptional. We'll absolutely be back next time we're in Tucson.

The Hacienda del Sol is a truly magical place! Loved its historic charm, its beautiful landscaping, its three pools with tremendous mountain views. Enjoyed breakfast every morning looking out the wide picture windows, had a fantastic facial at the spa, and sipped several tasty margaritas. Thoughtful touches like activities and well-curated gift shop add to the luxurious but relaxed desert vibe. Can't wait to return!

I rarely leave negative reviews, but our experience at La Hacienda del Sol Grill was so unacceptable it needs to be shared. We were in Tucson staying at the Westin La Paloma Resort & Spa for a large company event and chose this restaurant for a special birthday dinner, even canceling our reservation at Sullivan’s Steakhouse because of the view and past positive experiences. We made a 5:30 PM reservation well in advance and were told that would be early enough to secure a table with a view. We arrived early, were still made to wait, and then were seated in the back with no view—despite clearly requesting one for a special occasion. When I politely asked about it, the hostess was dismissive and openly hostile, acting as if we were inconveniencing her. Only after pushing the issue were we reluctantly moved. Unfortunately, that’s when things got worse. From that point on, we were essentially ignored. Service was unbelievably slow—to the point of being unacceptable. It took nearly TWO HOURS just to get appetizers and drinks. Meanwhile, multiple tables seated after us were fully served and finished their meals. At that point, it no longer felt like poor service—it felt intentional. What should have been a special family celebration turned into an embarrassing and frustrating experience. We ended up asking for the check early and leaving without even finishing dinner, then had to go elsewhere just to salvage the night. There is no excuse for this level of disorganization, poor attitude, and neglect—especially at a restaurant with this reputation. Between the unprofessional hostess and the complete lack of service, this was easily one of the worst dining experiences we’ve had. Would not recommend, and we will not be returning.

This is the sort of historic inn I love going to. It has loads of story - and is thoughtfully run with amenities galore. From the games and puzzles on the lawn and in the library, to the three pools and hot tubs, to the cheeky drink menu at the restaurant with themed drinks, this place has all the right touches. The staff was ready to address any minor problem when brought to their attention promptly and with grace. The Mountain View from the balcony of our place in the D building was a stunner and put a smile on our face every day of our stay! The whimsical sculpture and artwork throughout the property made strolling around the place a pleasure.
