La Casa del Zorro Resort and Spa

This was initially a pleasant stay (March 11 - 13, 2026) as we found the resort welcoming, clean, and well appointed with a nice pool and hot tub outside our large room. The staff was helpful and kind. Things changed the next day when we went on a hike Friday morning and returned hungry and hot around 3 pm. We discovered there was absolutely no food available anywhere at the resort at that time. The cafe and restaurant were closed, and the bar was only serving drinks. There wasn't even a vending machine or grab-and-go counter to get something to eat. We had to drive back into town to get a couple of sandwiches. That night we wanted to work out or play tennis as it was finally cool enough to do so. We were bummed to discover a chain and padlock around the gate to the workout room and tennis courts. It seems these should be available to use well into the evening when the weather is so hot, as it is most of the year in Borrego Springs. The kicker occurred when we discovered we were charged $465 a night for our stay -- a complete shock. When I purchased the tickets, I was confident the rate on the online booking calendar said something like $250. I could be wrong about that, but I unfortunately did not take a screenshot to prove it. This is a nice resort, but absolutely not worth $465 a night -- especially if there are times when you can't purchase any food at the resort or use the workout gym at 9 pm on hot days. When I made these complaints known to the operations manager, she simply offered $75 off my next stay. Unacceptable given our experience at this way overpriced resort.

We rented a 2 bedroom casita with a hot tub and it was perfect. The staff was so quick to refill the coffee and bring water and even paper plates in minutes of a phone call.

If you don't love Casa del Zorro You're just full of caca de toro. It's a wonderful spot We liked it a lot. If we could, we would go back tomorrow.

Clean and large room. Friendly staff. But a resort ?? NO room housekeeping; COLD water Jacuzzi; Advertised as Garden View Room, but no garden and no view?; Unusual electrical outlets; NO broadcast TV; And VALUE ?? All the above for $400 a night. As for the restaurant: We do not know. We opted not to use the hotel restaurant because of the above.

This hotel has the opportunity to be a really great hotel, and we learned upon arrival that it is under new management which is a good thing because there are some opportunities for improvement. On the positive side we had a lovely room and a very spacious one which was extremely clean and on the high end in terms of luxury and accommodations. On the opportunities for improvement side, here is what we observed: first, we had a garden view room, but there was no garden only a few bedraggled plants outside our room and a wall of a condenser unit about 25 to 30 feet away. Second there was no housekeeping during our three nights stay because as the hotel reports, they are short on staffing and three, we .went to the pool one day and learned that the Jacuzzi is luke warm and has been that way a long time. Because of these shortcomings, we opted not to use the restaurant which the hotel was pushing us to do because we just felt that we couldn’t trust the quality of the food would be there, especially because of the staffing issues which probably extend to the restaurant as well. So message to New Management: there’s a lot of opportunity for improvement and hopefully with those done this will be a really special place to visit in the future.
