Entire facility is in desperate need of updating/cleaning/repair. Have been coming to Boulders annually. Wow, they are really letting the place 'go'. I checked in late in the evening. No offer of a ride to my casita. I was left wandering around in the dark until one of the golf carts appeared while taking others to their room snd gave me a ride. Room had bugs...hot and cold water faucets reversed...threshold to room is a fall hazard. Gal at desk kindly fielded my complaints. Seems Hilton no longer runs this property leaving it in the 'care' of local investors. This is such a special place. Too bad it is falling into disrepair.

this was the best place I ever stayed in in my life, beautiful scenery, lovely restaurants nearby. Maria the manager was super friendly and helpful. 10/10 recommend booking a trip here!!!

Time and ownership changes have not been kind to this once beautiful spot. It still looks beautiful on the outside and is most likely a sufficient spot for a group of guys away for a golf trip who aren’t really there for any real amenities but the course. The Hotel was overwhelmed by multiple large events and staff was very attentive despite delays at checkin. Stayed in a “villa” that was terribly dated with old bedding, frayed towels, smelled of mildew and disinfectant, cracked doors, paint, scratched and broken furniture. Failed to tell us about closures and private party takeovers of pools, restaurant etc. dining was limited but decent. Sadly this property also appears to have a large rodent issue, as evidenced by the rat traps that littered the grounds, exterior of villas, pools, and Spa. Im not sure Hilton knows the full extent of how run down this resort is because if they did, they would certainly consider pulling their brand from the property.

I stayed here once before as a speaker at a conference. This time I came back with my best friend and we just wanted to relax and catch up and be treated like queens which we were! The golf cart service is the greatest for anyone who has a little bit of disability like I do. They are there at every whim.The food in the restaurants is excellent. The landscaping and the Casitas are gorgeous and well appointed. I will stay there again in a heartbeat.

I do have to say that this resort made you feel special as soon as you went through the gate. They had our names on our parking pass, which makes me feel safe that they aren't letting whomever in to just drive around. The views were spectacular. And you park near the lobby. No use of your car the entire stay unless you want to go off property. You can either walk, or take the golf carts literally anywhere. They ran 24 hours a day, and the lobby pool was also 24 hours. Which is nice because most places close their pools by 10. Our Casita was just gorgeous! We just loved that whole decor. And the view of the golf course was amazing. We were upstairs, and i don't believe the downstairs casita was occupied. We enjoyed every morning in peace and quite till the Sat of our stay. Our neighboring casita had a drunk shouting at the golfers, singing horrible Karaoke and was belching and vomiting. I called security and I believe so did a few other casitas in our area. Security quickly had it taken care of. I just loved the whole vibe of the resort. Lobby pool served food till 5pm. It was just so nice. I did want to walk around to the different trails but alas i didn't get to on this trip. Definitely recommend a stay at this resort. I'll attempt to get in here again next summer.
