The Esplendor Resort at Rio Rico is located about 13 miles north of the US/MX border near Nogales and about 50 miles south of Tucson along US Interstate I-19. It is peaceful, and maybe even a bit idyllic. It is NOT like staying in a city hotel. I saw Roadrunners zipping all about. I stayed at the Esplendor Resort at... more

Looking for an escape during the holidays, we booked a 5 night stay at Esplendor Resort in Rio Rico, Az. To our good fortune, the resort was uncrowded and we were graciously upgraded to an even larger room. The service was first class! The restaurant service and food were delicous, reasonably priced, friendly and prompt. The front desk personel were... more

I decided to stay at a new compeditor, big mistaake. Next night went to the Esplendor and will never stray again. I get reinbursed, so it is my choice where I stay in Nogales. Staff is the friendliest and will go the extra mile. more

I attended a GFWC-AZ Convention recently at Esplendor, and enjoyed my 3-day stay very much. Each room has a balcony to relax and enjoy the view. The staff was incredible, considering there were approximately 90 ladies attending this convention. The meals were very good and prepared on time, even with last minute substitutions. The entire weekend was a huge success... more

Other reviews nicely go over the lovely layout and historic features of the inn, which i agree with. We reserved a room for 3 night and maybe we just had bad luck. But our room had a very very noisy heater, a fridge that didn't work, no internet connection, no wash cloths and NO chair to sit in (even though... more
