I went with a group of about 80 people from Feb 28 to March 3th and we all stayed at Tamarron Resort. First I will say that the rooms are big and have a nice view. The rooms come with a kitchenet, microwave and frige. The water is very hard and makes it difficult to wash when taking a shower. I had the room next to the hot water heater and did not have a problem with hot water, but I did hear of others having no hot water durning there shower.

As for the resort itself, major renovation going on. Extention cords running down the wallways powering tools and lights. People were staining the wood in the halls. It was not a major problem just annoing.

The staff was friendly and nice. My wife and I took a trip into Durango from Tamarron using the hotel transportation and It cost us $40 for two people roundtrip. It would be very wise to rent a car if you plan on going anywhere. The free shuttle runs every hour starting at 8:00am and stop at 4:00pm, but it only runs to the ski village and back.

As I mentioned in the header you should stop in town and bring your own food to the resort. The only place to eat around the resort is the Chop House Resturant. Very expensive menu and the food was not that great. They open around 5p and close about 10p. If you do go I would suggest that you call and make reservations. There is also a cafe next to the lobby that opens at 7:30a and closes at 2:30p. It also was OK.

This was our first time to Durango and it was OK, I would go back if the price was right. I now know what to expect for the next time.

We stayed at Tamarron with a group of 6 in a logge room from Jan. 1 -Jan. 6, 2007. The room was great, the view was awesome, and the staff was was very accomodating. Everything we needed was attended to quickly. The pool and hot tub facilities were terrific, Access to ski facilities was 10 min. away, and the town was about 20 minutes. We drove to town to eat twice, and cooked in the room twice. We ate one night at the hotel restaurant- excellent ,but expensive. Overall, our experience was terrific. There are alot of negative reviews about Tamarron. Not enough people bother to comment on a positive experience.
We will definitely come back again.

One of our stops during our vacation was Durango. We were in Durango, Co. on July 20 & 21, 2006. Twenty years ago(Dec. 15, 1986, my wife and I spent our honeymoon at Tamarron Resort. The facility was outstanding especially during the skiing season. Prior to 1986 I had stayed at Tamarron to go skiing at Purgatory. It was the place to stay and enjoy the skiing season. You could not ask for more when you stayed at Tamarron during that time of the 1980's. When I was planning our vacation this month(July, 2006), I read several negative comments in your reviews of Tamarron. I still did not believe what the negative comments were saying. I had to physically go to the Tamarron Resort facilty. I was very sad to see that Tamarron Resort was not the facility I had enjoyed for so many years of skiing and our honeymoon. I was fortunate enough to get to talk to the front desk employee who answered my many questions about the resort. I would not pay $139.00 per night to stay at Tamarron. Your website is doing a dis-service to travelers in posting positive indications about Tamarron. I wish it wasn't so of what I saw of Tamarron. I loved the area and the resort so much during all those years. I am heart broken. I hope this helps you in promoting or not promoting the resort.

Thanks

I wrote a review a couple of days ago and I still stand by it. It was awful at this resort. We didn't get the correct room, no hot water, air conditioner broke in the middle of the night, we were there for 3 days and did not receive house keeping for any of our duration. We complained and complained and was told by the staff --when I tell my manager how bad it was, you will get your money back. Since we have been home--the same said staff member informed us that we were not getting our money back. We still pursued it because I feel they owe us money for having to put up with the place for 3 days and nights instead of us having to pay for it. Finally we did reach the top brass of the resort and I have to tell everyone he was professional, nice, helpful and YES he did refund all of our money.
So everyone has the correct information of this place--I still would not go back there again but if you have problems --persevere and see the manager.
