Reviews
The hotel is praised for its beautiful views, spacious rooms, and friendly staff. However, many guests express dissatisfaction with outdated rooms, poor maintenance, and lack of amenities.

Property was beautiful - very close to the Superstition Mountains. Had a nice lunch at the restaurant overlooking the golf course. The room was very clean as it is mostly tiled. This property was only about 30-35 minutes to the Boyce Thompson Arboretum so that was convenient.

The room was clean, extremely large and had great views! It's a bit dated, however, and has a sort of "80's beige" vibe. Everyone was very nice and helpful, so the overall stay was good.

So much dust, the room looked like no one had been in it for some time… centipede ran across the floor and I was out! Just had bad vibes did not feel comfortable took my room keys back and left! Was offered to try another room but if this was a “upgraded room” because the king bed booked on line was not available because they “had not been cleaned yet” I was not interested… this was a late booking as I got stuck in Globe with the flooding on my way home from clinical at the hospital. Do not recommend!

The property is absolutely beautiful and well-maintained. Our room was spacious and the beds were so comfortable. The location was perfect for a photo shoot we were doing. The staff was amazing. I experienced a low blood sugar and needed orange juice. Not only did the manager bring me orange juice, she brought me breakfast to make sure I was ok. Thank you Joelene for taking great care of your guests. We will definitely be back for a weekend getaway. Parking isn't near the rooms, but they do have a golf cart that takes you to and from your room.

Very pretty surroundings. The bed was comfy and the linens were nice. The waitress in the restaurant was super nice and friendly. We were here in the summer, so it was a little deserted and sometimes hard to find someone at the front desk for help. The room was not very cozy... kind of sterile and not very tastefully decorated.

Old hotel would need to be refurbished. The fridge was noisy and disruptive to our sleep Expensive, not worth that price, at that price it didn’t even give us daily room service. Far from our parking, had to call for shuttle service, supposedly complementary but of course had to give a tip on every move and had to wait for pickup. Had we known we would have never booked there, the only reason I booked is because I booked a round of golf on Dinosaur. Great golf but sleep elsewhere

the restaurant in the lobby was excellent. only good thing about our stay upon arrival the staff said that I had not paid for my room when i did. when i showed him i only owed 21.00 in resort fees he said fine, but ended up charging my credit card for the room of 320.00. i am not happy at all. beds were very hard, pillows felt like cardboard, very small tv with hardly any channels

Comfortable bed and good pillows, large bathroom with a solid shower, the patio was a lovely perk and the views were as nice as can be expected over a golf course in the desert. Our breakfast buffet hostess was stellar. It’s close to the ren faire. Whole vibe was very cold and quiet most of the time, especially at the bar/grill area. expensive for what it offered, facilities very dated, no frills of any kind. They offer a “breakfast buffet” that rivals those of regular motels but is very expensive for what it is.

The location is beautiful with a golf course on one side of the resort and the picturesque Dinosaur Peak on the other. There are many hiking trails nearby and we took advantage of that. Our room was large with comfortable furniture and a patio that had a nice view. We watched a gorgeous sunset from the restaurant patio and enjoyed the food and excellent service. The room cleaning was not very thorough. For instance, the bathroom mirror had water splash marks when we checked in. We asked to have a cleaning and the cleaners didn't wash the mirror. There are some rough spots in the room amenities such as an aged bathroom vanity and a shower head that sprays water outside the shower (there is no shower door or curtain). The pool furniture and cushions were dirty. It would be nice to get extra coffee packs and to use less plastic (eg real glasses and coffee cups, ice delivered in an ice bucket rather than getting a 5 pound bag of ice).

For a golf resort it was fine…and location was good for us for the venue we attended. The towels were very dingy and thin/old. We had to call maintenance to fix the sink (the stopper was broke) and the air conditioner wasn’t working. They did come quite quickly and fixed it. The towels were so old I refused to use them , did not care for the restaurant either…it took a very long time and we had to go find the waitress to get our check and containers to go.

When we called the front desk they placed us in a different room which was much cleaner and nicer. They were accommodating and friendly throughout the process. Lovely resort and staff.

Gorgeous, clean, quiet, spacious, and safe. Hotel suite included a patio. A little hard to find the hotel room at night in the dark if you're not familiar with the layout but very safe to walk around the premise at night. Checked in late at night and staff in the lobby was very friendly and helpful. In the daytime, it is beautiful (even from the parking lot). I would definitely stay here again.

Although a beautiful property near the Superstition Mountains some detail to care is needed if it’s to be concerned a 4 star resort. The room we stayed in a one king room with patio appeared that it hadn’t been used in a while, dusty on floors and counter tops. The pool and hot tub look beautiful but was disappointing as the pool was < 70 degrees and hot tub might have been at 80degrees! There isn’t many dinner places near Gold Canyon and ended up driving to Gilbert which has many nice restaurants and great atmosphere for nightly dinning. Service at golf course was very friendly and good and able to play a round in less than 4 hrs on a Saturday. We played ‘sidewinder ‘ which was nice and in fairy decent shape but hard to compare as the previous day we were at the Omni Tucson national where everything was top notched! It is a good place to stay if you are planning on hiking in the Superstition mtn. But need to care for the outdoor areas of the pool and hot tub

The room was "surface clean" but needed a deep cleaning. The baseboards were dirty and so was the bathtub mat. I needed a plug behind the bed stand, there was dirt and trash that had been there a long time. The ac/heating unit had a note aped to the thermostat to not lower it below 70 because it would freeze. It would kick on about every 30 mins and it sounded like a plane taking off over the bed. Kept waking me up. The staff was nice. The main bldg and golf course looked nice.

Parking was terrible. Had to make 3 trips up a long path, up and down hills in 109 degree weather to get our luggage, golf clubs, etc. The split level room was different. The TV was very small and was up by the ceiling. It hurt our neck to look up from the lower level couch. From the bed area, we could not see or hear it because was at least 20 feet away. You could see through the front door. The door was actually split in several places and the seal was awful. The AC unit was right behind the bed wall and very loud. It came on every 15 minutes the whole night keeping us awake. The heat just came right through the front door. There was no microwave. There was no Ice anywhere except in the restaurant. You had to take your Ice bucket and walk up and down the hilly terrain to get ice. But you had to make sure to get it before the restaurant closed at 9:00 PM. Then we had a cricket "chirping"at 11:00 pm. Found it 15 minutes later under the couch. The Sidewinder golf course was average. The driving range was small and only have mats to hit off of so no driver practice. No sand bottles, no rakes in the sand traps. They said if you land in a foot print or divot to just move your ball to a different spot in the trap. Really! They said it was because of COVID. Funny thing is that this was the only thing they were still doing from COVID. No masks, anywhere, no surface wipes, etc. Seems like they just didn't want to do the work.

We stayed here on our last night of a 6 day trip for my BFF's Bachelorette trip! We stayed in a Beautiful VRBO in Scottsdale with the gals she grew up with. I am from the area, so I decided to stay another day to meet up with my own child hood friends and my BFF wanted to meet them! Excited, we booked a hotel nearest to my home town but we wanted options to golf and river raft or find hiking fun in case they weren't available. We took an Uber to GCGR and when we arrived the two young gals that checked us in had no idea what hours the restaurant was open or if they were open at all. They didn't know where to get a menu but offered to make a copy when we do find one. We were immediately unimpressed. We finished check in. Luckily a women walking through the lobby saw &asked if we needed help! She was amazing! She gave us a menu and was well informed. She said it was her 5th day! She must have really paid attention in training because she was amazing! mark came and picked us girls up in a cart with all of our luggage and we headed back to the café where my friends form child hood trickled in. OH MY GOODNESS did we have fun! The restaurant staff were so patient and supportive and we tipped everyone as often as possible for being so accommodating. We closed the café down and stayed through their "lull" and stayed through dinner and closed it down from the outside patio where we watched the sunset and bonded with two little lovely ladies in their 80"s! What an amazing experience!

We closed the café down and stayed through their "lull" and stayed through dinner and closed it down from the outside patio where we watched the sunset and bonded with two little lovely ladies in their 80"s! What an amazing experience!

Very nice golf course. Decent rooms. Visited in the summer and only had a snack bar to eat. If you wanted a dinner had to leave the resort.

The pool area is very welcoming. They need more staff though. The decor of casita is not posh, but clean and comfortable. Views are gorgeous from many locations throughout grounds. We’ll stay here again!

We had a glitch as it was an expedia reservation but the front desk was friendly and assisted in getting us into a room. The room was spacious and had a beautiful view of the valley that was a little lower level than we were. Beautiful at night and great patio for morning. There is a trail right behind the hotel room. The room is clearly needing a refresh and update. The large tub in the room was outdated, there was not microwave, the bedding seemed out dated, the coffee pot was not working, there was a fireplace but no way to use it. However the hotel overall had great amenities. Although I didnt golf this time, the course is beautiful, there are 3 restaurants and a great spa. We had massages and our masseuses Christa and Jennifer were amazing. We will definitely go back.

Honestly the property is beautiful. The staff is friendly- excellent service. The downfall was the smell in the room. It was stale - not fresh.

Excellent setting in the mountains and cactus views with two golf courses wrapping around the resort

The area is very nice. But the property is dated, and it is beginning to show. The staff are polite but not suited to run this property as they are just part timers mostly and are not trained to handle a full scale resort property. They are looking for staff like everyone else, but sadly not for career staff, just cheap help wanted staff. At this property, you must have top notch people and the prices they are asking for ells me that they think they have a world class property here.

Old school style, but newly refreshed. Only negative was getting eaten alive by mosquitoes on the golf course.

Have lived in AZ for 20 years and never knew the resort existed. It is beautiful. Staff was friendly too. The room we had had a patio overlooking the golf course...it also had a fireplace. The room was huge. The only thing I would have liked better is if the room was updated...still the old wood, tile, and countertops from when the place was built. With just a little TLC, the place could even be more fabulous! I'd definitely stay here again and maybe check out the spa.

There was no daily maid service offered during covid which we actually appreciated. The grounds are beautiful. We relaxed on our private and quiet patio. The restaurant/bar was very loud as golfers come in for a beverage after their day on the greens. It would be nice to have a separate bar. There is an outdoor dining area, but it's best to wait till the sun starts to go down as it is mostly sunny and so we did that and it was really nice. We enjoyed all of the food and drinks that we ordered. The Kokopelli Dining Room remained closed during our stay. Our only downside, and this may be because of the current covid situation, is that the restaurants do not serve breakfast until 10am.

The room was awesome. Lots of space, not a cookie cuter room. Loved the walk in shower. Parking was a tight for our full size truck. Wish they had an ice machine.

I was put in one of the farthest rooms in the farthest building. Parking was up a hill over 40 yards away. And I found out the hard way that there were not enough spots for all guests. So I ended up parking even further away. My room, indeed the whole resort is dated. In need of renovation. The furniture in my room had water damage and my mattress was old and in need of replacement.

Lay out is weird, get there during the day . Parking is far away for most rooms
