The Spa services at Rancho Manana were such a treat. Not a heavy traffic spa...which is just perfect. From the friendly staff, calming meditation room to the wonderful massages and wraps. The prices are very reasonable and the the facilities were very clean. Can't wait to visit again!! Enjoy!

My sister swapped a time share week to come to this property. This was the 3rd year of an Arizona trip for my sisters, my mom and me. At first I though it looked off the beaten path, but when I arrived and saw the mountains, the saguaro, and the clean air, I was SO happy that we were not in downtown Scottsdale. There were plenty of great restaurants and shops around, and I truly loved staying around Rancho Manana. The spa was lovely, and very welcoming to Casitas guests, even if you are not getting an expensive treatment. I used the hot tub and steam and felt welcome each day. The food at Tonto's bar and grill is very good too. The 2-bedroom casistas were roomy, had very good light, and gave a feel of being in the South west. Only oddity was the concierge who couldn't really recommend any restaurants (the person there said she lived far away and didn't know the area). Also, my mom, thought the sidewalks were a bit dark at night and things were too quiet!

I would definitely return and stay here again.

After driving 6 hours in the heat through the desert we ended up in Cave Creek, AZ at Rancho Manana. Cute town and even cuter property. Checked in easily and were given our casita - 2 bedroom, 2 bath. We also had help with our luggage - everyone was very accommodating! The casita is amazing - beautiful - just what you would like your vacation home to be. Awesome kitchen, 2 master suites across the hall from each other for privacy, great view. Deck with table off of the living area near the kitchen, big tub in the master suite. Extremely spacious bathrooms. We are very picky people and this place met all of our needs. The Tonto Grill was delicious, great wine choices and excellent martinis, and the food was made exactly as we requested. The pool was just right after 115 degree day and though we did not play golf, the course was set in a beautiful environment. If you get anywhere near Phoenix, you must eat at the Barrio Cafe - nouvelle SW cuisine, casual, great service, AWESOME food, reasonable prices.

Contacted ILX resorts after seeing a promotion of Rancho Manana. Signed up 9/13/06 for four nights at the resort to take place December 25-29, 2006. It would include a 90 minute promotion of ILX resorts. Arrived 12/25/06 to find our reservations had been cancelled by the ILX resorts and we had not been contacted via email or phone. Rancho Manana appeared to be lovely. We never saw the inside of a unit. We did play the golf course and it was beautiful and challenging. There were three of us traveling and it involved plane flights. Our money was returned but we have never been informed by the person who cancelled our trip why we were not informed.
