Santa Cruz County, Arizona: Scenic Desert Terrain Minutes from Mexican Border

Esplendor Resort’s desert locale in Santa Cruz County is near tons of outdoor recreational opportunities. Numerous state and national parks are scattered throughout the region, attracting hikers, bird watchers, and cacti impersonators. Fertile soil and a fruitful monsoon season nurture juicy red and white grapes at a bevy of vineyards in the Sonoita-Elgin wine region, located about 30 miles northeast of Rio Rico.

About 10 miles south of the resort, authentic Mexican cuisine and crafts spill over from Mexico to Nogales, a border town full of restaurants and shopping. Pedestrian access to Mexico from Nogales makes transnational travel a breeze (so long as you have your passport).

Before the fire I've seen all these bad reviews "since" the fire. I am sad to see this has happened to this utterly amazing resort. We stayed several times before the fire and I just can't say enough good about it. The rooms are unique and comfortable, The staff bends over backwards to please and the entire place is just beautiful. I'm sure once they get the renovations done it will be back up to par and better than or was in the past. We loved it and wouldn't miss a stay when in the area. They had amazing package deals (room with meals and drinks included) I'm not sure what more one would ask for in relation to bang for your bucks!! Please you must give this place a try after they complete the renovations!!

Not worth your time This is a hotel that live in the past. Needs a renovation badly. Apparently there was a fire at the Lobby, and it has not repaired since. The rooms are old and worn out. The bathroom was old and dirty. The decoration was 1970's. It seems that this place had its great days a few years ago, and needs investment. I do not recommend this hotel at all. The pictures in trip advisor are misleading.

A strange place Pros first: Nice and clean rooms Cons: No restaurant (still in ruins after a fire), the reception is placed in a normal room, to access my room I had either to cross the pool area or making a detour around the area. As I was just there as a base for birdwatching I didn't really care, however if you want a nice resort stay, you might be disappointed. However, rumours go that the place will undergo a major renovation and will be closed next year for rebuilding, so things may improve.
