“Enchanting”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed December 22, 2012

As an attorney I give modest weight to rave reviews however,Hacienda Del Sol more than met our quest the for a romantic get away. we celebrated our 21st wedding anniversary there. The staff is superb, our suite was charming and the food was special both at the outdoor grill as well as the indoor "Grill".HDC is a great value. It is a "can't miss" for Romance.

Room Tip: Defintely get a suite if it is your first visit. Ask for a room on the side away from the outdoor gr...

“Interesting "resort"”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed December 20, 2012 via mobile

We originally reserved a "best rate" non- refundable room for 3 nights. The day before we left, my husband was having severe pain in his back & wasn't feeling up to the travel. I called to see if there was something they could do for us like either cancel or postpone the reservation. After a bit of back and forth, the gentleman that answered the phone stated that if we could fax a doctor's note by the next morning, he would LOOK INTO canceling our reservation. We didn't up end up getting a note and decided to go on our trip. We arrived at the resort to find our room cancelled. We were not even notified they did this. Luckily, the room was still available & they gave us the same rate. It was nice they still honored the price but it would have been great had they notified us of the cancellation.

Room was small but clean and quiet. Not sure why a Cisco phone is needed in the rooms but they are there. Hot tub and pool are somewhat segregated from resort & we had to walk through reception to get to it. Nice views though of the mountains from there. Staff was friendly.

All in all not a bad place to stay. I'm just not sure I would call it luxury or if it's worth the price that is typically charged for a room.

Thank you for your visit and for taking the time to write a review. I sincerely apologize for the confusion. I should have been more clear about the fact that given your husbands severe back pain, your non-refundable room reservation would have been refunded. Given the description you gave me regarding his inability to travel, along with the promise of a doctors note to be faxed, I honestly thought that you were cancelling your visit. I am happy that you were able to make the trip to Tucson and that we had availability to accommodate you. Hopefully, the relaxing atmosphere and historic charm of the hacienda was just the thing to make him feel better! We are proud of our tradition of spirited southwestern hospitality and I should have done a better job of communicating that to you. As a side note, the Cisco phones allow the hotel to provide complimentary local and long distance calls for our guests. I am sorry that you had to walk through the lobby to get to the pool, I hope the views and privacy were worth it! Please contact me directly if you will be returning to the Tucson area in the future so that I can personally handle the details of your reservation.

“Enchanting, relaxing, historic”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed December 14, 2012

Very unique historic lodging with high marks for character! I stayed in one of the "Historic" rooms overlooking the beautiful courtyard. Booking early, I was able to secure a rate of $101. The room is very basic yet charming. Entry into the room is directly from the exterior with an actual key (no card keys at this historic hotel). There are blinds on the door. Hardwood floor; no rug. TV is inside a beautiful armoire. Queen size bed; comfortable mattress. Bathroom is small, yet functional. Nice tile work around tub/shower. Heated towel rack is a nice feature. Shower water temperature was nice and warm; good pressure. Being an old building, there are some "nicks and imperfections". But don't let this bother you. The room is well cleaned and nicely taken care of. Apparently each room is unique and there are different sized and decorated rooms to suit any taste and budget. Other rooms are more modern. The grounds of the property are truly well landscaped with desert vegetation, flowers, fountains, and character! Front desk personnel are very nice and helpful. Restaurant is connected to part of the main building. A definite Tucson desination which I hope to return to.

Thank you for deciding to come stay with us this winter, I hope you enjoyed unseasonably warm weather this early December. I am a big fan of the old style "real" keys myself, they always work and we love to decorate them each year to add some of the character you speak of. All of our room types are unique and within the Historic type you stayed each room has its own character with varying furnishings, color schemes and bathroom tiling. The armoire you mention is original to the 1940's and matches the headboards and desks in those rooms. I appreciate that these rooms may not suit all guests but great to hear you enjoyed the charming and comfortable qualities these endear. Thank you for mentioning the quality of our landscaping, the owner and our two gentleman crew work hard at maintaining and accentuating the natural gifts we were given. I hope to see you in the future and maybe next time you can try one of our other unique room options. Regards

“A Must Go for Dining”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed December 13, 2012

The Hacienda is a must go place for dining. The atmosphere is great, the whole resort setting is a site to see in itself from lush gardens, the pool area, restaurant, outside grill, inner courtyard and resort rooms themselves. A romantic wedding location as well we would say. Staff is among the best in Tucson as are the meals.

Thank you for joining us for dining and taking some time to soak in our grounds. We appreciate taking the time to also craft a review of your experience. We are blessed with so much natural beauty and scenery but without a dedicated staff it is only half an experience, thank you for mentioning the high quality you recieved which we all strive for. Your preception of being a romantic destination is quite astute, we are the # 1 ranked romantic hotel on Trip Advisor. This creates lofty expectations which I am glad to hear from your review we have met. Hopefully in the future you can come experience the hotel side of Hacienda. Safe travels back to the Inland Empire. Regards

“A special place”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed December 4, 2012

We stayed here for two nights last weekend and are only sorry we couldn't stay longer. The staff were so polite and friendly. They chatted with customers freely and seemed happy to be working there. Our room was lovely with beautiful wooden beams in the ceiling and a large comfy bed. We ate in Terraza on Friday evening. It was very busy and there was a popular band playing but we didn't feel rushed and the barstaff chatted away while serving. We ate in The Grill on Saturday evening and it was gorgeous. The sommelier Justin was wonderful and so friendly. Our meals were fantastic and dessert just topped off a great evening. We went horse riding with Valerie in the stables on Sunday......I would highly recommended doing this it's a great way to see the local scenery and Valerie has many interesting stories about the area. All in all a blissful weekend away !

Thank you for visiting us all the way from the Emerald Isle, what a beautiful country. Thank you as well for sharing your experiences with the travel community on our behalf. We definately try to keep a more relaxed, casual attitude with our guests while maintaining professional service, our Southwest Hospitality. We appreciate you taking advantage of our dining outlets and riding stables, it is great to hear that both were able to provide enjoyable and unique experiences. I will share your kind words with Justin and Valerie as well. Safe continued travels in the US and back home. Regards
