After much research, including taking a serious look at Pink Jeep, this company's Grand Canyon tour…read morehad the best combination of value & professionalism. For cash price $99 (with tax, $108) it included lunch with the one-day tour of Grand Canyon. I felt it was just right for sight-seeing: not too much, not too little. To clarify, taking a 1-day tour of Grand Canyon from Sedona or Flagstaff does not give you enough time for hiking but it's good for enjoying the sights and taking lots of pictures. The only small complaint I had was that their drive from Sedona to Flagstaff felt a bit too rough -- the van needs better shocks, but maybe that's true with all tour vans.

If you want an intimate , small group tour of the Grand Canyon, book with Touch the Southwest. It…read morewas an awesome experience, with our very interesting and knowledgable guide, Andrew, picking us up at our resort. There were just 8 others in our group in a well air conditioned, leather seated mini-bus. Gourmet picnic lunch up on the south rim was delightful and a nice touch, then two more stops at other points on the canyon for viewing and picture taking (Andrew will take pictures for you as well). Then we stopped in Cameron a brief shopping trip for some neat Native American goods and then headed back to Sedone with painted desert in background. Loved this tour and will recommend as a must! When booking this, Brenda is awesome and her follow up and suggestions on where to stay, eat, shop in sedona definitley pleased this customer!

Stayed at Hyatt Regency Tamaya Resort & Spa for three days for a conference. The resort is in Santa…read moreAna Pueblo, which is about 25 minutes outside Albuquerque and another 50 minutes from Santa Fe (though with the conference schedule, I was unable to make it to Santa Fe). The property itself is beautiful and expansive, sits on Tamayame land, and at the outset of the conference a member of the Native American tribe welcomed us and shared about the land and setting. The property has with multiple event spaces, an on-site trail, a large gym, and several pools. It is a fairly large resort (our room was at one end, so it was about a 7-10 minute walk to the main lobby area). Each day began with a large breakfast buffet, and lunch was similarly well done. One of the highlights was being able to sit outside during meals at large tables overlooking the grounds, mountains, trees, and fresh air made for a really peaceful setting. For breakfast, I enjoyed the red/green chilies chilaquiles (New Mexican style breakfast), it was very flavorful and I enjoyed trying but was very spicy/heavy. From a conference and events perspective, the resort is very impressive. There is a large main conference room with a stage, and the room can accommodate over 100 people (at round tables), along with many smaller breakout rooms. Over two evenings, we attended events at different venues on the property, one about a 10-minute walk away (with hotel mini-bus transportation available), and another closer to the main area under a tent. The more distant venue was quite large and set apart, likely used for weddings and larger celebrations. That evening included a buffet dinner, DJ, dancing, and multiple bar setups. The second evening closer to the main hotel was a seated dinner under a tent, with music and performances in a more contained setting. There is also a nice bar and restaurant in the lobby, as well as another more casual restaurant by the pool. Given time constraints, I was not able to fully take advantage of all the amenities (including the spa, horseback riding, and longer trail walks), but I would absolutely recommend this property. It is incredibly scenic, serene, and feels immersed in nature, and I would gladly return.

Driving up to the resort, it truly feels like you're entering a private, exclusive getaway, tucked…read moreaway from everything. Beautiful, classic New Mexican architecture surrounded by desert and mountain views. The grounds are beautiful with options for biking (included), tennis/pickleball, walks, horseback riding, and golf. Located about 30 minutes north of Albuquerque and 45 minutes south of Santa Fe, made it easy to spend time in either. We were able to check in early, which was so nice after an early travel morning. Our room was large and included the classic hotel amenities, including waters. We were staying slightly during the off season, so two pools were open, which was fine as it wasn't that busy and it didn't get hot until about noon. Due to the location of the resort, it is easiest to eat at the property and there are a couple of options available: The Corn Maiden - nicer dining experience, Santa Ana Cafe - casual sit-down, Rio Grande Lounge - bar and bites, and Plaza - pool cafe. During our visit the Plaza pool restaurant was only open on Saturday. We tried in-room dining for breakfast one morning, as we were up early, the eggs had little to no flavor, and a couple of our items were forgotten/late. Not a huge deal as we understood they were training a lot of staff during the time of our stay. Overall, the food throughout all the dining options was just okay, and if there were more dining options close by, I would probably go there. The restaurants all tasted the same and there didn't seem to be much variety. It would be nice if at least one of the dining options was a different kind of cuisine to bring some variety. Overall, we enjoyed our stay, the staff was so friendly and helpful. There are plenty of activities to do at the resort and we loved that they had nightly s'mores. The room was great, but food could be better.

What an amazing experience to be able to ride the Sandi Peak Tram! It has been on my list of things…read moreto do in ABQ for quite some time. Staff was friendly and willing to answer any and all questions. Our guide up the mountain was extremely knowledgeable about the area and shared lots of interesting and unique facts with us. Despite it being cloudy at the top, the views going up and down were amazing. While at the top, we decided to walk around and explore a little. Some things you note; the temperature drops considerably up at the top. Bring some layers! Bring some snack to enjoy as the restaurant isn't always open and can be a little spendy. Definitely a must-do in ABQ!

You can purchase tickets online for a two hour window to ride the tramway up. After that you can spend as much time as you like at the peak before heading back down. We bought our tickets for the 3-5 PM window which is a popular slot as many people like to watch the sunset from the top. It is a gorgeous sight to watch the sunset from the peak and even more so as the lights turn on throughout the city below. It was also very cold in December so make sure you bundle up before taking the tram. One drawback is that the tram only runs every 15 minutes and there's a huge live to go back down after the sunset. It was almost an hour's wait to take the trip back.
