What a pleasant surprise! Having never heard of this hotel, my friend and I each got a room overlooking rugged hillsides (and beautiful sunsets) at the Esplendor Resort. The onus was on me for this to be a good choice, which was totally unfair given that my friend lives in Arizona and I do not. We were visiting nearby Tubac,... More

Interior courtyard gardens were very pretty. Used the small exercise room-2 treadmills, eliptical trainer, 2 bikes, & universal gym equipment. TV to watch. We ate twice in... More

We recently took a road trip across the Southwest and chose the Esplendor because of it's proximity to Tumacacori National Monument, San Xavier del Bac, Saguaro Desert Museum and Tuscon. The lobby and rooms are beautifully decorated with southwestern/mission artwork and furniture. The staff were friendly and accomodating both at the front desk and in the restaurant and bar. The...

We stayed here for a night because we are in love with Tucson and its surroundings. I'm not a golfer but if I ever become one this will be the place to play because the view is spectacular. The common areas are very clean and well preserved. The room was also clean and comfy. The service was superb, especially during... More

We stayed at the Esplendor Resort to celebrate a milestone birthday. We went with another couple. The men golfed and the women went to Tubac, a small artist town up the road a bit. There were some minor problems encountered during the stay, but I have to say, the staff was excellent and took care of things immediately. I'd like... More

My husband and I travel to Tucson once a year to visit family. This time we decided to take a couple of days for ourselves at Esplendor Resort in Rio Rico. The hotel is very nice and the grounds and pool are amazing! The rooms are more than adequate. We booked a golf package through Groupon and were extremely pleased... More
