I had an amazing experience celebrating my grandmother's 100th birthday at this lovely resort. The staff, especially Stephanie, went above and beyond to make the day special for our family. The venue was beautiful, and we had delicious food and great amenities. On the downside, I did notice that some guests had issues with room maintenance and service delays, which could be improved. Overall, it was a memorable celebration with some minor hiccups.

I had a wonderful time at this resort. The views during the Balloon Fiesta were absolutely stunning, and the food at the restaurants was consistently good. Although the spa was a bit pricey, it was a great place to relax. Unfortunately, my experience was overshadowed by an unpleasant issue regarding a smoking charge for something I didn't do, and that really affected my overall enjoyment. The staff didn't respond well to my concerns, which left a sour note about service during my stay.

I had a pretty good stay at this hotel. The room we had was nice and spacious, and it offered a great view, especially if you requested the right side. However, I did run into a few issues, especially with the service. While some staff were friendly, others didn't seem particularly interested in helping. Overall, it was a decent experience, but it felt a bit overpriced for what I got.

My stay at the resort was overall wonderful. The room offered a stunning view of Rincon Ridge and the Sandia mountains, and the quietness was perfect for resting. The dining options, especially the Thanksgiving buffet, exceeded my expectations. However, I did find the casino experience disappointing and the smoking smell in that area was quite noticeable.

I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The rooms were spacious and clean, which I appreciated, but the service left a lot to be desired, especially during check-out and maintenance issues. The location is not bad, but not exceptional either. The overall price felt high considering the inconveniences I faced during my stay.
