Top Desert Discovery Center Hotel Reviews

Ladera Vistas - Available for Christmas - Panoramic Views, Heated Infinity Pool

10/10 Excellent

"This property is absolutely spectacular and completely matches the photos. It was perfect for our visit to U of A and we stayed with some other parents who are friends. It was perfect to return to each afternoon and enjoy the patio, pool, hot tub, and grill dinner. Ron was a fantastic host and made sure we had everything we needed. I highly recommend it!"

VERY Private Hilltop Hacienda with Spectacular 360 Degree Views

10/10 Excellent

"This property was amazing! It's on top of a hill, so the views of Tucson were spectacular from the pool. The front yard was the perfect place for watching the beautiful sunsets with all the Western décor, seating, and plants. The adjustable beds were soft and comfortable to sleep on after an evening in the pool, spa, or the jetted tub. It was quite relaxing to paint rocks and leave them in the yard with the other ones from past guests. The kitchen is equipped with everything you will need and then some. The neighbors are respectful, quiet, and not right next to you. It's very private. The large grill outside has a refrigerator, which is very handy, and is next to the awesome bar with the big outdoor TV that you can watch from the pool."
