Rooms: 95 spacious guest rooms and casitas

Dining: Cielo, serving breakfast and dinner

Wellness: On-site spa offering various treatments

“This desert sanctuary immediately strikes one with its beautifully cultivated grounds and authentic Southwest character, creating a genuinely peaceful atmosphere. The rooms, particularly the casitas, offer a comfortable and spacious retreat, often enhanced by charming details like fireplaces, and the pool area provides a particularly serene spot for unwinding. While the restaurant serves well-prepared meals, my exploration suggested a certain inconsistency in how room types are represented, which is worth noting.”
