Solana Spanish Villas: The perfect location, the perfect…read moresetting, the perfect hosts! We truly experienced total relaxation in what we came to refer as our little home away from home. Having sold our large family home we were in wait mode for our new home build to be completed. John and Danielle were so gracious as we extended our stay plus moved to a larger casita to spread out a bit more. The casita (#6) had everything we needed. Two bedrooms, two baths, a full kitchen, dining room, and sizable comfortable living room. Our Dog Cooper enjoyed the freedom of the back yard plus nightly walks around the sizable property. While we didn't use the pool it looked inviting and had a nice cabana resort feel with lots of shade and lounges with curtains to divide sections for privacy. We will be recommending this lovely historical resort to all our friends. Check it out, it's a hidden gem but it won't stay hidden for long! Comfy beds with ample closet space in each room plus an overstuffed chair to relax in. Good lighting all throughout the home. Nearby activities ヘ Central to all Sabino Canyon activities as well as a trek up to Mount Lemon, not far to go for a fun outing downtown. Easy access to groceries, basically close to any/all shopping necessities Safety ヘ Ample lighting all through the resort. Locking security gate for after hours coded access only. We felt very safe while here in our casita. We even had a locking security screen door so we could grab the occasional evening breeze. Ample lighting all through the resort. Locking security gate for after hours coded access only. We felt very safe while here. Our casita even had a locking security screen door, too hot for us at the time to take advantage of a breeze but could see how nice it would be in the right season. Walkability Little too hot during our stay (july/aug) to venture outside the property on foot, but we enjoyed sunrise and sunset walks around the property pretty much daily. Food & drinks Beautiful setting. Trees in particular are absolutely stunning! Large grassy area for outdoor fun, lots of covered space for large events or family gatherings, nice walking paths, ample lighting and it appeared every casita had some level of personal yard space which is priceless when traveling with a pet or kids. Fun history on the welcome book to deepen the sensation of being part of the life the resort initially started with as one of Tucson's original ranches so many decades ago.

We stayed here for one week in a spacious and well-equipped two-bedroom unit. Temperature highs were mostly in the 60s and low 70s, making it easy to enjoy the attractions of the Tucson area as well as the resort's outdoor amenities. Grocery stores, restaurants, and shopping are also within a few miles. Location. The resort is in a very quiet location but is convenient to most anything that you might want or need in the area. My husband and I loved the vibe of the area, with wide slow-moving double-laned streets, bike lanes, and many sidewalks, which encourage a lot of the locals to be out walking and biking. We regularly used the resort pool and spacious jacuzzi tub, and walked some of the nearby Virtoso Trails Nature Preserve trails, as well as those of Honeybee Canyon Park, both of which in the Oro Valley and close to the resort. There were stunning sunsets viewable from the resort on most nights. We also used the resort as our base for exploring the Tucson environment -- a drive up to Mt Lemmon/the Coronado National Forest/Catalina State Park; Sabino Recreation Area; both the eastern and western units of Saguaro National Park; Casa Grande Ruins National Monument,, and more. The unit. Our two-bedroom unit was very comfortable, and well-appointed. Six people could stay here comfortably. There was a huge bed in the main bedroom, twin beds in the second bedroom, and a large Murphy bed near the dining table. The kitchen was full-sized and stocked with everything you might need -- fridge/freezer, range/oven, dishwasher, pots/pans, plates/bowls/cups/glasses/knives/utensils, cabinet space for groceries, and even commonly-used spices. Other great features in the unit included a cozy electric fireplace, a patio that had a small table/chairs and a grill and a combo washer/dryer (and starter laundry detergent) in the unit. Communications were excellent, at check-in and in a follow-up phone call to see if we needed anything. Parking was free and directly outside of our unit. Critters. Upon check-in, we were given a handout to remind us that the resort is located in the Sonoran Desert, which is home to many desert critters -- rattlesnakes, javelina, coyote, scorpions & tarantulas, and bobcats. In addition to basic information about the wildlife, the resort provided information about urgent care resources in the area. We're happy to report that we didn't see any poisonous or dangerous creatures, whether on-site or in hiking in Honey Bee, the Sequoga National Park, or the Mt. Lemmon trails. (We did see a coyote in a Phoenix park though). A few minor things worth mentioning. *This resort charges an occupancy tax, which was disclosed at the time of reservation. The tax was $50+ for the week. *When we logged-on to Wi-Fi in the room, we were met by a screen that informed us that Wi-Fi would cost $49.95 for 3 devices for 10 days or $69.95 for 6 devices. Surprised by these charges, my husband called the resort, and were pleasantly surprised when we were given a code that erased the charges. *Some gold crown resorts have jacuzzis in the unit; this one does not. *The tv in the living room is small, but appropriately-sized for its current location. *It'd probably time to upgrade the couches. We alternatively sunk into the cushions or were sliding off. We would definitely stay here again when we return to the Tucson area.

Check-in was smooth, and every staff member we encountered was warm and welcoming. The property has a lot to enjoy--especially the pool area with incredible sunset views. The hot tubs tucked around the resort were also a favorite spot to unwind. We appreciated having nearby grocery stores where we stocked up on food, including steaks for the patio BBQ. Our room itself was comfortable, though the view from our patio was a bit underwhelming, facing the street and neighboring houses. Still, the overall setting of Oro Valley made up for it--the area is clean, scenic, and filled with great dining options, plus plenty of walking and hiking trails to explore. Overall, it's a peaceful getaway spot with beautiful surroundings, friendly service, and relaxing amenities.

I've always looked at April 1 as my real new year, and something about that space made it all click. It wasn't just about rest. It was about realignment. Every part of the experience was intentional; from the way the rooms are designed to how the team moves and speaks to you. You don't feel like a guest, you feel like you're being held. The workshops, the movement classes, the quiet moments walking the grounds; it all felt like a conversation with myself I'd been avoiding. There's a softness at Canyon Ranch that doesn't demand healing from you. It invites it. Gently. And that's what made it so therapeutic. I left feeling clearer, lighter, and a little more like myself again. If you're in a space where you want to start over, or just check back in with yourself, this is where you do it.

I feel there should be more offerings and better quality the dessert. The one pictured tasted like the fruit out of a gelatin fruit cup and the chocolate chip cookies were rock hard.

She replied and said that the Storm Catcher Casita and one other casita was available for the dates I was interested in. I replied and let her know I was interested in the Storm Catcher and also asked if they negotiated rates. She then replied and said rates were not negotiable due to it being high season which is fine. However, she then told me that she booked the Storm Catcher Casita for 7 days to someone else even though we were actively discussing booking the casita. They obviously chose to give it to the person who they were going to make more money off of since I only wanted it for 2 days. It was absolutely rude and dishonest of her to tell me it was available and then turn around and rent it to someone else. They obviously only care about the money. We will never stay here and I will make sure everyone I know in Tucson doesn't stay here either.
