I recently stayed at the Hilton El Conquistador with my husband and my mother. We shared a casita and it was perfect for the 3 of us. There was plenty of space in the main room, even with the pull-out sofabed, and the decor was wonderful - great Southwestern art on all walls, but not overdone or "touristy". The casitas all have a small patio (ours had a beautiful mountain view and a huge cactus just outside), fireplaces (complete with composite logs), refrigerator and microwave. The only negative comment on the casitas is the distance from the main building and the parking but the front desk was great about sending a cart to our door whenever we requested it.
The property is large but the grounds are beautifully maintained. I wish we had visited during a warmer time of year because the pools look wonderful. We really liked the idea of the kid's pool separated by the "rocks" that make up the waterslide. I would think that it would help to soften the noise at the adult pool.
The Sundance Cafe was closed for renovation but they had moved the breakfast buffet into the evening restaurant - Dos Locos. Our server (Gino) was wonderful and the buffet was delicious (I am not usually a fan of buffets but everything on this one was hot and fresh). The decor in this restaurant was also just the right mix of Southwestern art, but not overdone. Even though it was crowded for breakfast, it did not seem loud because of the different levels and booths.
Overall, we really enjoyed this resort and will definitely come back when we have more time to enjoy the facilities (the golf courses looked very challenging). The location is a bit North of downtown Tucson but nothing seemed too far away and it was nice to be able to go outside of the city into the quiet mountains at night.
