Beautiful grounds and one of the friendliest staffs I have ever encountered. no one was too busy to answer questions or respond to the simplest of requests. The front desk staff on Fri. when we checked in and Mon. morning when we checked out were pleasant, courteous and patient. In the restaurant, Roy waited on us fro three meals and...

Our arrival was hassle free, and top notch service. Pogo was right there helping with the luggage. Ate in the bar the first night. Food was very good and friendly service. Had our 25% off coupon, and used it every morning for breakfast, and every evening for dinner. The food was so good, we found it unnecessary to go any...

Older resort with lots of rustic charm. Excellent getaway for peaceful a quite vacation. The dining area is a must do. The views are magnificent in the evening and the warmth and charm of the dining area are romantic. The perfect deck to enjoy a beverage and kick back and relax. Staff is more than accomodating

We returned to Esplendor to play the wonderful RTJ golf course and enjoy the fabulous Easter Brunch, and both were fab once again. First let me say the staff are great, very willing to help. We love the decor in the rooms too. I would suggest the Mission King suite, which is furthest away from the main building for quiet...

Like most reviewers indicate, this is a lovely older hotel with great views. Upon checking in, we confirmed our agreed upon rate made at the time of reservation. However, when we got home, our bank statement indicated an extra $10 charge. When I called the hotel, they said it was a "resort fee". When I asked where on earth this...

While traveling on business in the Nogales area, I usually stay here, as it is a great location for the local area with a good restaurant, scenic views, good rooms, and other amenities like a large pool and exercise room. Also, the layout is unique, with the resort located on the top of a hill. The buildings are spread out...

Thank you for your time in commenting on your stay. This really is a great place here in the southwest and we are truly glad you enjoyed your time here. Make sure and mention the third floor option on check-in next time, either when you make your reservation or upon arrival. I'm sure we can make that happen. Thank you... more

Lots of character, comfortable but a bit dated. Maintenance is not as rigorous as at higher end properties. Staff were helpful and friendly. Nice pool and adequate exercise room with newish equipment. Wifi was free but service was intermittent.

Recently visited this resort for a two-day golf tournament. The hotel was clean and updated, although it could use a little more remodeling/updating. Had an adequate exercise facility -- one of my main complaints about many places when they advertise it and it consists of only one machine. The golf course is well maintained and challenging. It is my understanding...
