A few weeks ago, my husband and I spent a morning taking a guided rafting trip with RMSR. We had…read morethe privilege of having Anela as our guide with Maki on the raft just behind us. Both are fabulous, hardworking ladies. Somehow, we were the only two guests on the raft with Anela, so we felt we had personalized service and room to spread out. I believe there were 4 other rafts that morning with all of us cruising down the river together. The morning of the tour, we arrived a bit early. The ladies in the shop had us fill out the necessary waiver. There is a selection of merchandise available to purchase and a small restroom available to use in the shop. The van ride to the launch area was fairly short. The guides handed out life jackets to each guest and made sure the life jackets were nice and snug. No helmets or wetsuits were needed. Before getting on the rafts, Anela gave the morning safety speech of what to do if someone should fall out of the raft. Fortunately, no one did on our tour. The week prior to our tour, the area had received rain each day, so Anela mentioned that the water level in the river had come up. Our tour was a few hours long and a very relaxing float. There were a few slightly choppy areas on the river, but nothing rough at all. The scenery along the Rio Grande is beautiful. We had the option of jumping out of the raft at one location, and only one guide in the group decided to jump out. I personally wasn't sure how I'd get back in the raft, LOL. Our guide Anela was fantastic, super friendly and informative. The beauty of the mountains was incredible. We will book again next summer!

As soon as we arrived at the shore to depart the sky opened and poured down icy hail! We contemplated continuing on with our tour, as we booked for 8 people (prices were great, but 8 bookings adds up), however our guides were very supportive of the fact that the weather was well past inclement and offered to allow us to rebook the tour for later in the day. I am so grateful we had that opportunity! Our party included 2 adults and 6 children ranging from a toddler to teens and it was perfect for everyone. All of the staff were extremely friendly and we can tell the family that runs the operation takes pride in their work and business.

Robbie went above and beyond. He spent a ton of time with us, rigged up our rod, recommended the right flies for the conditions, shared some great tips, and even took the time to teach Leo how to tie on the flies himself. I'm happy to say Leo caught his very first fish today and there's no way we would have done it without Robbie's help. In a world where great customer service can be hard to find, this was truly exceptional. Thank you, Robbie, and everyone at 8200 Mountain Sports Fly Shop, for making this a memory my son and I will never forget. We couldn't be happier!

We asked for a few boxes of tissues, even offered to pay. The lady at the front desk said "you guys should of came prepared these are for the cabins." Couldn't even get extra toilet paper. We rented the club house for the memorial. There was a rude man in there screwing the doors to the kitchen shut. We asked nicely when they will be done and the most we got out of him was 'ill be quiet'. We booked this place months in advance. DO NOT GO HERE. DO NOT RECCOMEND.

We rented a room and upon arriving, our toilet was filthy so we requested a new and bigger room. Our new room was fine but it lacked essentials like toilet paper and had 1 towel for the two of us. My husband took a hot tub that night and when he looked at it the next day he immediately took another shower hoping he would not get sick. It was filthy. My step son arrived the next day and in the middle of the night they were awakened by the real renters . My son was given the wrong key. My nephew rented another cabin and they did not have a shower head which was never fixed for them. They had to take showers with gushing water. To top it off, the manager invited all of us to a party that was being held in the rec room. We all attended to find the manager so drunk she was staggering. Granted she was off shift but proceeded to help the late comers totally waisted. Not impressive. We will never stay there again and my advice for every one is to stay clear of that place.

Then when we got to the property several days before our wedding it was not ready for us (I have several photos). the owner was outside the mornings of my wedding planting flowers because they were not done before my arrival. I had several family members help me pull weeds and sweep and clean the reception area because I could not set up without those things being done and the owner was not responding. even now 11 months after my wedding he has yet to return my security deposit. the owners was nothing but unprofessional when working with him. like I said, my wedding was beautiful but honestly I would have chose somewhere else to get married if I would have know the headaches and stress this man was going to cause.
