Loews Ventana Canyon Resort (Tucson, USA)

With a whole host of classy amenities like oversize tubs, pools, and a spa, as well as a fully functional conference and business center, the Loews Ventana Canyon Hotel already spoils you rotten. But what you'll remember the most is how right at home the cordial staff made you feel.

Activities abound at the hotel. Naturalists can enjoy hiking, including a mile plus trek into the canyon which ends in waterfalls. Golfers can wake up and walk to the golf course for a full 18 holes. Last but not least, biking enthusiasts can rent bikes and cruise around the rocky trails to their hearts' content.

Featuring stunning views of the Catalina Mountains and its peaceful canyons, you'll appreciate the relaxing atmosphere of the hotel, which is fostered by the spa and pools. Still, the hotel is just a short drive from the city and all its events and activities without the crowds and the racket of staying downtown.

Some former guest noted that the hotel, while charming and bucolic in design, has a number of cobblestone walkways connecting the rooms. Visitors staying along these footpaths were often roused from slumber by early arrivals and their luggage. As a result, they recommend earplugs.

Normally thought of as a convenience, some guests found ordering food to their poolside table somewhat frustrating. They mentioned long delays before their food arrived, as well as difficulty getting ahold of the wait staff for additional items or drinks.

Although the hotel is situated in a gorgeous spot and features high-end amenities, some guests felt their meals at the restaurant were overpriced. Other former visitors also noted how daily fees for the Wi-Fi, parking, shuttle service, and the gym added up quickly.
