The Lodge at Ventana Canyon

The staff was outstanding in every area. Room service accommodated my special diet needs. My room was beautiful.. There were a few issues with the heater not working as well as I had hoped. It was repaired quickly. I didn’t use many of the other facilities, but the views of the mountains in golf course courses were magnificent. Overall, it was a wonderful experience and I will return

The property is lovely but could use a fine tuning. It’s not quite up to a five star accommodation. We were very disappointed in the restaurant. The service was great, but it took us 20 minutes to get a drink and another 20 minutes before our appetizers arrived. There were only a few tables occupied at the time. The Lodge had several events and was 100% booked. As a result, our room was not what we paid for. The staff, Samantha and Shania were very helpful in moving us to another room when it became available three days after our original date.

Beautiful setting at the foot of the Santa Catalina Mountains, away from the crowded center of Tucson. We're not golfers, but the greens were lovely and well maintained. Dining for non-member guests is in the Bar & Grill - with superb meals, great outdoor seating with fire pits, and mountain views. Our suite was huge and very comfortable with sliding patio doors opening to the golf course & mountains. Kitchenette offered everything we needed - keurig coffee machine, glassware, refrigerator with small freezer, & a dishwasher. Close to Sabino Canyon and a few miles from local artist Diana Madaras's gallery. Parking was very convenient in the shade of big mesquite trees.

The recreation facilities at this property are very nice. We used the fitness center and locker rooms, which are well appointed as expected for a golf club. Locker rooms include a sauna and whirlpool. There is also a lap pool and a separate recreation pool and whirlpool, all of which were clean and a nice temperature with plenty of seating during the off-season. We enjoyed playing pickleball ($10 fee for equipment) and the grounds are beautiful! The restaurant staff is exceptional and the food and drinks were delicious. The rooms at the lodge are all suites, with a separate bedroom area, updated bathroom, full kitchen, and good sized living/dining area with a desk (if you absolutely HAVE to work...). We didn't get the chance to golf, but the course is beautiful. This property is very close to the Santa Catalina mountains and there is wildlife, so you may get to see some desert animals (and their scat!) here and there. I would definitely return here for another "staycation."

The room was exceptional in cleanliness, amenities and housekeeping staff. We enjoyed the surrounding areas and lucky enough to enjoy Easter Brunch and the Easter festivities for our grandchildren. Everyone from the front desk, Ventana Lodge staff were friendly and helpful. Our room had a beautiful view and had everything needed for a wonderful four-night stay. Thank you, Ventana Canyon Lodge, we will see you again soon!
