Canyon Ranch Wellness Resort Tucson

Came in for a few days to have a little reset and Canyon Ranch did not disappoint. The shuttle service to and from the airport make transportation a breeze. The food was excellent and I especially enjoyed the ease and convenience of the Double U Cafe for popping in and getting snack whenever you need. I'm looking forward to a longer return visit.

The resort is a disappointment! Very dated buildings and old furnishings. The food is a big disappointment. The several chicken dishes we tried were dry as the dessert. Desserts were awful. The focus is on “fancy health food” but they forgot about food needing to be flavorful. The waitstaff take your order, deliver your food and don’t come back. There is an outdoor bar, the Cantina”, where margaritas are $19 and barely contain alcohol. We ordered an $80 bottle of wine at dinner and were given a bill for $97 because there was a $17 gratuity for the waiter to merely bring us the bottle! Of the four spa services we have had so far, two were terrible, one was mediocre and one was great however all cost twice as much as the same service off property. Very disappointing when we are spending $1,500 per person!

My husband and I enjoyed a wonderfully relaxing and intentional weekend away from our kids. It was the perfect reset with nutritious and tasty food, kind genuine service, positive energy ask around and amazing services and experiences to choose from. This resort has more to offer than we were able to fit in to 4 days and we cannot wait to come back! We thoroughly enjoyed everything from massages and facials to yoga and sound healing, reading by the pool and even bing night. Also, very much appreciated every teammate who was more than accommodating and truly proud to be there.

We loved Canyon Ranch. The people working in the spa and leading classes were especially great. Overall Miraval is a better value for money but we loved both resorts.

I enjoyed my first 6 day stay at Canyon Ranch Tucson in January 2025 despite the dire need of many obvious upgrades and brought my son the following Dec not realizing how far the resort backslid in the short time since my last visit. After travelling 1776 miles to get there and paying thousands of dollars, the window view being a wall was shocking. They exchanged that room for a room by the entrance gate, during a time with many empty rooms. Making them aware I have a serious medical heat intolerance and being a very large resort, it made getting to activities interesting. I spent a lot of time checking my heart and BP. My sons room had prescription pills on the floor and plenty of hair in the shower which is scary if you're bringing children or pets. We went for dinner and the salad bar I loved was non existent. That night a real salad wasn't even available on the menu(at a wellness resort!!). Reservations are required for the main restaurant but that doesn't mean you wont be waiting for your table. The menu shrank and changed and not for the better. The tea selection was cut in half, the cauli-mash was chunky, even the coconut bar in my massage had been reduced by half. A multitude of things I told my son about that I loved was downgraded or had completely disappeared. A branch sticking out in the walkway scratched my sons eye. They did have an optometrist examine it and give him drops. His arm was injured during a 1 on 1, extra $ activity with a fitness trainer that left him unable to work out his arms for over a month upon return home. We had a 2 hr drive to the airport for an international flight and requested our luggage be brought to the lobby so we could leave immediately after breakfast. Our luggage was not there and waited long enough that we started out to retrieve it ourselves when it arrived. They say no tipping but bell service waits for tips. Lunch to go like the last visit also went by the wayside. The manager offered my son one free service for his bad experiences, but it did not reflect on the bill nor was credited back. Despite texts with the manager that she would get to it when she could get to the resort, it NEVER happened. Value of managements word proved to mean nothing. The $ offered back was a drop in the bucket, it was the principle. Positives - medical office, massage and the cook at the action station. The male nurse who took my blood the first time for labs said he was taking as much as when you donate blood. He filled all of the glass tubes to the top and when my arm stopped dispensing blood, he began milking my arm for the rest - is also no longer employed there. I like to enjoy spending hard earned money and this place rapidly became a very FAR cry from worth it.
