The Lodge at Ventana Canyon Review

Beautiful place. Staff is amazing, very friendly and professional.

Attended a wedding here. The staff were very professional and attentive. The food was all delicious! The rooms were all quiet large and comfortable.

The Lodge at Ventana Canyon is a great destination if you're older, and more relaxed. It's used heavily for golfers. While I certainly like golf, I'm not a player, so I feel a little out of place here because of that. The staff is great, and the food is good also. If you're younger, I would just stay at Loews Ventana Resort next door.

What a place! Nicest staff, beyond confortable rooms... The whole package! Highly recommended!

Rooms were very nice, luxurious and spacious. The view was fantastic. Unfortunate that they don't have complimentary breakfast, but brekfast at the hotel was very nice. Reception was very welcoming. Worth the money.

This hotel sucks and the people who stay here do too

Excellent service! But room carpet smell bad!

The staff here were very accommodating but then again money talks. Since I have been spending more time with my rich friend lately I have noticed when it comes to customer service that seems to be the case. I wish I could find more places at the bottom of the hill that treated us working stiffs with more consideration.

This is a hidden gem in Tucson. Amazing rooms that are basically apartments with a small kitchen. The views if the mountains are great. There are walking trails, the golf course is great and the staff is attentive without being a bother. We spent time at the pools during our stay. There is a large lap pool and then a fun pool for the kids that is surrounded by ping pong, a giant connect 4 game, shuffle board, basketball and corn hole games. We are planning to come back for another staycation!

Our company had a event here, and the staff were out of this world. Very happy with their service!

I work here and enjoy it very much. A great place for couples and families to get away and enjoy.

Super friendly staff. The views are mind boggling. It is a very quiet resort with phenomenal amenities. While it has the outward appearance of being family friendly, it's only family friendly if you have very well behaved children. There are no children running around unsupervised or screaming. The kitchens are nice. And domino's delivers up here.

Super nice! Great rooms and fantastic food. Me and my wife especially enjoyed the king size bed. Really cheep price for what you get. However it is a timeshare type set up so there is a lot older people that are regulars. If you dont golf the large golfing community can be a little intimidating. The Spa is not very big. High quality masseuses and super friendly staff but not very many services. Still overall a great experience a the view on our back patio was killer.

Great place, for a various activities, or to just socialize

For third year in a row, our expectations were exceeded during a 4 day group golf outing. Staff was great in the hotel, at the bar and on the golf course. We are going back!

We love how spacious the rooms are with private balconies or patios. The mountain views are incredible. Our pup loved being on the parking lot side because of the many flyballs that came from the tennis court.
Due to COVID the staff is in masks, you must get pool towels from the front desk, there are X's on appropriate distancing and more. They're doing a great job.

I can't wait for golfing.

Beautiful resort! The staff was nice and professional

Best service, awesome view, huge rooms, exceptional and private balcony, can't go wrong with this place

Overall a nice hotel. At the pool there is a large family pool with basketball hoop and volleyball net. There is also a laned lap pool and a small 1.5 ft deep kiddie pool. Also, a Jacuzzi for the colder months. They served frozen grapes and cold towels at the pool as well. The rooms are nice and comfortable.

Great golf and tennis resort. Several large pools, hiking trails and great location. Only minor complaint is they don t provide for recycling paper, cans glass etc. Need to smarten up

Great service, great amenities, and delicious options for food and drinks. 10/10 would recommend to anybody

We attended an amazing ceremony followed by the reception and was amazing. They served these little beef wellingtons that my husband loved!

Everything was great. Relaxed at the pool. Had a facial done. Staff is great.

excellent size for price. nice view from room and big balcony. useful shuttle and fast WiFi

Very nice people with a good working service. You must wear a collared shirt and no denim to play gold however. Other the. That very enjoyable.

Staff was amazing, but that's where it ends... we went for a mini honeymoon and was left disappointed. Furniture was dated, lumpy and the bed sank to the middle. Mountain view means, walk out on your patio, lean out and look left... not worth the extra money... Lost out on the daily resort credit because it wasn't explained that it needed to be used daily or lost we waited for day two to enjoy breakfast and the spa, so not having that credit we spent more than expected. Lodge is a great way to describe the decor. I expected more from all the photos I had found online

Nice big room, good pool, tennis and golf. Great place for a staycation or vacation. Not fancy but has everything you need.

Great greeting and check in, giant and well appointed rooms, and a great little rdstaraunt with great food and a very good wine list and priced fairly too!

First of all, the welcome that you get from each and every member of the staff is unique and how they're constantly opening doors for us, asking what they can do etc... all this is an example of their great service. The place is really nice and the views all around are spectacular! We paid a little more to have the mountain view and it was well worth it!

Personalized greeting. Fabulous suite accommodations with stunning mountain view. Great swimming pools. Food and beverage service outstanding.

Amazing place. Beautiful relaxing. Staff is so friendly and accommodating. Would highly recommend this place.

Love this place!, has a great room with a kitchen, desk, living room. Amazing bathroom with a cute bath tube and huge shower with a bench. Great balcony view!

Friendly staff and I have a great experience in my stay here.

Quality was lacking in the rooms for the price we paid.

Service and grounds perfect. Golf course tough but in wonderful shape.

Good service, brought what we asked. Pool has weird algee that staines by ehite swim trunks green. Surrounded by golf courses. Food is pricy and takes forever but it tastes good.

What a classy resort with swimming and tennis tucked away in the foothills. Great rest and scenery all around.

The front gate is controlled by a guard. Upon walking up to the doors, there is someone there to open the doors. Guest check in are very friendly and professional. Felt at home. The king guest suite is very nice and huge. We didn't expect a kitchenette, but, there it is. It has a microwave, small fridge, oven with stove top, dishwasher, pots and pans, plates and silverware. Also available is a kuereg machine.

Awesome service Garrett really took care of us when we got here and everybody is so nice and helpful it makes your stay pleasent! Also great place for pups with a lot of good walking areas and green grass! Really good room service food as well! I enjoyed the pizza and wings very much!

I've stayed here before. The rooms are great. The staff is great. I haven't done any of the resort things. We did go here for a company Christmas party and that worked very well

The grounds are nice but the rooms have mold all over the bathroom's and the pool is old thisvplace could be great with a little money put into it

This is the second time our triathlete friends have come here as a group from Wisconsin to train and relax during the winter. The heated lap pool is a wonderful way to start the day, and the lounge pool a perfect place to end it. The rooms with kitchens are spacious and The Lodge is located in a breathtaking venue that could not be more suitable for swimming, biking, hiking and running. The service here is unmatched. We will be back.

Big rooms and lots of space to move around! Only bad quality is the loudness of the a.c./heater unit.

Very nice view. The food was excellent and the venue was lovely.

The staff was extremely friendly and welcoming. Always professional and going out of their way to make your experience phenomenal. Particularly the bartenders and servers.

Couple large spiders in our room. Other than that, everything really was awesome.

I was blown away by the resort. Very quiet and calming. The walking paths are beautiful. The pool was huge. I will be going back.

Fantastic huge rooms with kitchenette and living room. Will definitely return and recommend.

New menu! Yey!!! :) love the food, the staff is always so nice

Absolutely beautiful place to stay inside & out. We were locked out of our room for almost an hour bc no one told us that if we went out our sliding glass door that it would lock. The engineer had to eventually break in through the slider bc not even the master key would get us in our luxurious room. We will definitely go back!

If you love Tom Fazio Courses then you are going to love Ventana Canyon. 2 Beautiful courses with a backdrop of the Catalina Mountains. I gem in Tucson and a must play. The Lodge is nestled within the courses and if you stay then you can play.

Speaking as a previous employee, this place is good for a low key country club. The staff is great and the food is good too.

Went using a groupon but will go back and happy to pay full price.

Great getaway location. Staff is spot on and welcoming. The golf course looks great and the pool area is relaxing.

Great anniversary experience for the golfing family!! Rooms, hospitality, proshop, dining. well definitelycome again.

Absolutely love this place I don't think I've ever had a bad time

Stayed at the Lodge for 1 night.
The drive to the city takes 20~30 minutes.
Good place for thosevwho travel in groups, my room was 2 stores hight with apiral staircase.
The breakfast was good.
The view of the mountain nearby is fantastic.

I've stayed in this hotel multiple times. Some have been better than others. Hopefully, I can help you maximize your experience.

First, call ahead and find out if there are any conventions or parties being held at the hotel. If so, make sure you beat the crowds, parking can be inconvenient.

If available, try and book a two bedroom. Each time I booked this option access to the room was through the air conditioned lobby and had a patio with a beautiful view of the golf course. It also had faster access to the other accommodations.

The restaurant is often booked for corporate events, so don't count on a peaceful dinner there. However, I would recommend giving the lunch service a try, they have nice cocktails and a beautiful view.

The rooms are large and spacious, the kitchenette is nice but doesn't have everything needed to make use of it.

The bathroom is gigantic and takes up 1/4 of the total floor plan. However, it is everything you could ever want for relaxation. It has an oversized mission tub and two rainfall shower heads.

Staff was wonderful and accommodating, and the venue and views of the mountains were gorgeous for the wedding reception.

Very nice. Would stay there again. Would recommend their steak house.

Great staff, service, grounds. Could be opened later for a younger crowd.

Rooms are awesome and spacious like an apartment. Food was good too.

The best place i have ever stayed at hands down! I will definitely be staying again and again!

Thank you Lodge for terrific rooms and service. And thank you for the Christmas Gift of a tin of cookies at our door this morning!

Had a great time at this place! Our church had a banquet here and the food was delicious and the service was amazing.

Amazing place to spend a night at. It is sparkling clean, the bed is super comfy and the view to wake up to is simply gorgeous! The service is outstanding, they also have heated pool, tennis and golf courses. If I happen to be in Tucson again, I would definitely try to stay there.

I called The Lodge , to speak with a manager to address my concerns. Something I do if I don t give 5 stars (most get 4-5). I was told the district manager was at lunch. But, he would call me ASAP. I also left him a voicemail. NO CALLBACK. So, I took photos of the issues I addressed In this review.

Check in was slow and not very courteous. Rooms were amazing. We did not stay long enough to use the facilities. Rooms are not ready until 4pm, so if you are an early arrival, you are out of luck and they really don't care. I wouldn't stay here again personally.
