Loews Ventana Canyon Resort

What a gem! We generally stay at Starr Pass (still 5 star) but fortuitously for us ( that means lucky 😉 ) they were full. The main differences? The food is amazing from the Bill’s Grill by the pool to Flying V steakhouse. Never a failure. (The price of a NY Strip the size and shape of a 4 oz filet is a bit extreme but I digress). The PEOPLE. Wow. We’ve stayed at JW several times and I couldn’t tell you the name of one person. After a couple of days at Loews, we were cared for by Jacob and Nate at valet check in, Valentina taking care of our room, Les (Lads?) at the pool, and we will never forget Ken, food and beverage manager. His service went above and beyond and it’s obvious Loews is important to him. We honestly would not have had a successful stay without him. I thought he was the resort manager he cared so deeply. The rooms are huge, the bedding so cozy, the views incredible and my husband would tell you the golf was on par with more popular courses. AND you have your own waterfall! CHOOSE LOEWS.

I'm a local and I decided to get away from my family. This was a great spot to spend several hours a day working and the rest of the time, taking in the amenities. Booked the mountain view which was great. If I could do it so I looked over the city without looking at either parking lot, I think those are the best views. I went just a few weeks ago during the week. It was initially sleepy which was great, but picked up as the week went on. One major plus is the food is excellent. Best I've had at a resort, absent staying at a Park Hyatt or Four Seasons. The staff were all lovely. The gym is surprisingly good and I loved the spa staff and services. Apparently, locals can join the gym, but the prices are outrageous. All in all a restful visit.

My wife and I spent the Fourth of July weekend at Loews Ventana Canyon, and it was the perfect getaway. From the moment we arrived, everything exceeded our expectations. The service was warm, attentive, and genuinely welcoming, and the entire property has a relaxing atmosphere that makes it easy to unwind. The highlight of our stay was dinner at the Flying V. It was one of the best meals we’ve had in a long time. The creamy goat cheese polenta was absolutely outstanding, and the smoked tableside guacamole was unforgettable. Every dish was beautifully prepared, and the service made the evening feel truly special. Whether you’re looking for a romantic weekend, a peaceful escape, or simply a chance to recharge in a beautiful setting, Loews Ventana Canyon delivers. We left already talking about when we’ll come back. Highly recommended!

Absolutely love this place. The nature walk with waterfall was stunning. I truly love how after all these years keep it as natural as possible. Wildlife is all over this place. We walked around rattlesnakes, black widows and even a raccoon. There was even a siting of a mountain lion from another guest! The bats are everywhere keeping the bug population down. Don’t get me wrong, this was in the nature trail walk. So do not think this place is dangerous. We absolutely loved it. Rooms were clean spacious and inviting. The tub in the room was huge, quite literally can fit a family of four in there. Haha. The pool was clean with impeccable service- Laz was very attentive and always had a smile on his face. There are floats, balls, sun screen available and of course clean big towels to use while you are at the pool. We ordered food at the restaurant for breakfast and at the pool for lunch. It is a bit pricey for my liking however I loved everything I ordered it was perfectly cooked. We will be back!
