    There was nothing that stood out that I didn't like, everyone and everything was great.

    Pool was great for kids, a bit cold but refreshing.

    Too many mosquitoes out door & patios. It also didn’t have enough chairs in the room. It could use 1 more !! Needs more restaurants that serves dinner.

    It was big & beautiful. It also hosted Indian art fair in site which was a pleasant surprise.

    The restaurants are ok. We have never been impressed with the food but . They need to do better. My husband’s meatloaf was like overcooked cardboard. He should have returned it.

    The room was great and we loved having a patio that we could sit out on. The casino and hotel property very nice in a beautiful setting.

    My sister and I were night owls and the only restaurant that stayed open till 2 am served shellfish. As someone with a severe shellfish allergy I didn't feel comfortable eating there. So we had to pay for Uber eats which was expensive because of the location. That and the toilet paper is extremely thin which is something I wouldn't have expected from a resort like this.

    It felt luxurious and clean. We even got a free $20 dining credit for breakfast. The casino was great and staff constantly checked to keep it clean.

    I wish there was a better range of food options. We ended up going into Santa Fe more than I wanted. The restaurants seemed pricey for limited selections. I wish they had a buffet! I saw what looks like a setup for one but maybe they don’t do it anymore. I also wish they had a ceiling fan in the bedroom.

    The pool and hot tub options were great! Beautiful location. It felt comfortable. Our room was huge!

    The Coffee shop hours didn’t accommodate our schedule. We get up at 5am (live on the east coast) and have to wait till 6:30 before anything opens. I drove out to Sante Fe to get coffee and breakfast for the family.

    Very quiet, lots of things to do, pool/gym was great. I would love to come back and play golf when I have more time.

I was charged $211.68 plus tax of $30.27 for total of $241.95 for same room. Front desk said it would be same rate if I stayed in same rate for both nights!

    I arrived (stayed) at the property to attend a concert. In that regard, I felt as though the acoustics at the venue, which was a ballroom, left a little to be desired. As Awesome as the property is, it would be nice, in my humble opinion, if there was a venue specifically designated for music, i.e. a theater or possibly an Amphitheater.

    Exceptional staff

    No choices for food. Their website is not up to date as far as choices and variety. One of the lounges on the website is listed as serving food, including a menu, they no longer serve food. There were only two places to have a sit down meal unless you wanted a deli sandwich. I went into one of the restaurants to treat myself to a grilled ribeye with grilled asparagus. Although this is still on their website as well as advertised in the facility it is no longer available. The menu at this restaurant has changed and it’s for someone with rich taste and a hefty wallet. They are remodeling, but that is not an excuse for inaccurate information on the website for food choices only to find they are no longer available. They need to reflect the changes. I made my choice to stay here based on having places to eat without having to go out.

    Staff was very courteous and helpful. Room was exceptionally clean. Grounds and common areas very clean. I was granted an early check in for no charge. There is only one restaurant for breakfast. Both mornings my food was great.

    It’s a long long walk from front desk to the elevators. Tried to eat at the Mexican restaurant but the lady host just kept her back to us watching tv, she knew we were there. We left. Nothing for kids to eat so bring your own. Said they would email receipt but haven’t gotten it yet.

    The property is beautiful.
