This is an absolutely beautiful resort. The grounds, pool & spa, restaurant are all 1st class. On top of all that the staff is wonderful! If you are fortunate to have Brian at the valet stand when you arrive, your stay is off to a fantastic start. He welcomed us like we were his family! He was so friendly, informative and was the icing on the cake to our stay!! There is also car service to take to destinations within the city limits. We were only able to stay 1 night but are planning a return trip to enjoy the spa and wellness center and more of Taos. A true10 all the way around!

The grounds are beautiful and all service was warm and responsive. We loved the text for service feature! We were very satisfied with the value of our room which was tastefully decorated, and had quality finishes. Furniture is getting a bit worn and the room was not thoroughly vacuumed. Thank you for a pleasant and relaxing experience!

The property is a beautiful venue. The grounds are exquisite and well kept. The only disappointment was the restaurant. It seems the focus is on a menu that is more vegan style - e.g., starters such as a Kale Caesar Salad, Hummus and Olives, Maple/Honey Roasted Carrots. Limited entree selection - a beef tenderloin or a sirloin steak frites or a chicken schnitzel. We only had dinner there the first night. In our observations, the restaurant was never more than 30% occupied for dinner.
