"For guests at the Ritz-Carlton, Dove Mountain, there’s no mistaking that they’re in the High Sonoran Desert of Southern Arizona . There are the saguaro cacti, the cooing quail in early morning, the black-velvet skies at night, and, rising directly behind the resort, the Tortolita Mountains, whose granite boulders are inscribed with graffiti-like messages that have been there for a thousand years. Visitors so inclined can get equally lyrical about the 27-hole Jack Nicklaus–designed golf course, the 17,000-square-foot spa and fitness center, the three swimming pools, or the dishes made visible in the open kitchen of the resort’s main restaurant, the Core Kitchen and Wine Bar. The pervading feeling is that this is a place people have been coming to for refuge, rest, and replenishment for a very long time (since before 2000 B.C., according to some experts)."

"At The Ritz-Carlton, Dove Mountain, you'll feel like you've stepped into the wild, wild, west—just 30 minutes from downtown Tucson. At this sanctuary surrounded by the Sonoran Desert, rich red sunsets are built into the framework, casting a dusky glow on everything and everyone. The resort’s 253 suites have exceptional vistas of many notable sights, including the Tortolita Foothills, Wild Burro Canyon, and, of course, Dove Mountain. The décor takes its cue from the scenery, with burnt orange hues and Native American patterns expressed in the linens and artwork, and flagstone and quartzite lining the floors. There’s also a destination spa with eco-holistic therapies like the Desert Gemstone Ritual (amethyst and citrine stones to help heal sore muscles and increase energy flow) and five—yes, five—excellent restaurants. We recommend Ignite, just off the lobby, where stunning views and fire pits abound, not to mention the weekend Sushi Bar, where a sommelier will pair your sashimi with a perfect sake. We’ll warn you: You risk a birdie at the Jack Nicklaus-designed golf course, which sits against a majestic mountain backdrop that might make you forget about that par (well, maybe)."

What a serene and beautiful area. And that's not even mentioning the hotel itself. Located in the beautiful Dove Mountain the Ritz-carlton is a wonderful getaway hotel resort. The desert-like feel, the animals, the critters and the ambience. If you ever needed a break from the everyday life this place is it. As a business getaway it excel with its numerous ballroom and meeting rooms and as a vacation it's just bliss. 10/10 would come again.

This was my second time staying at the Ritz Dove Mountain. The first thing you notice about this resort (other than the obvious beautiful surroundings) is the level of service and friendliness of the staff. The guard who welcomed me on to the property was super nice. And then it just gets better. Joe the valet was so friendly you would have thought I knew him my whole life. Holly at the front desk--amazing. She has the pulse of everything that was going on in the resort. She takes hold of every request and gets anything you need done. She simply embodies every aspect of what you expect from Ritz Carlton. The entire staff from every server to cleaning teams, just all friendly and helpful. My only negative was that when driving back to the airport in Phoenix I got held up by a train on the way to the interstate and it was a train that took 20 minutes, had to reallly step on the gas after that. Leave yourself an extra 20 in case of train! But this resort is really a fun place to visit and staff makes it even better!!!

I think if 10 out of 5 stars was a possibility, I’d make that my rating. ||This is our second stay at this property, and every minute of it was delightful. I’m a hard core Marriott fan and a picky hotel customer, and the ladies and gentlemen here really shine to make this hotel a gem. ||First, the property is beautiful, set in the intersection of two mountains and there are stunning surroundings. Our rooms on both visits were upgraded (thanks for recognizing your Elite guests) and were quiet, comfortable and full of amenities. Exactly what you expect at a luxury hotel.||The staff are amazing here. Every single person we encountered—from the valet staff, to Nicholas at the front desk, to Dylan downstairs in the bar, were thoughtful, professional, and understand how to deliver service at a five star property with grace. ||Enjoyed a nice afternoon in the spa and the team there were so terrific as well. ||Absolutely a perfect visit. Can’t wait to come back again soon.

First, the staff here, regardless of position, have a deep understanding of service and hospitality. Could not have asked for more from them—they go above and beyond to make the experience. We’ll return to this property because of them. The setting is amazing and the room was clean, comfortable, and spacious. We loved everything about our stay except for the dining options. Ignite is hit or miss with mostly misses. Paid $28 for eight of the smallest vegetable maki I’ve ever seen. The fish and chips were bland and oily. Core is great for breakfast but the lunch menu seemed dinner-focused and crazy overpriced. And To Go is understaffed which creates long waits and defeats the convenience it should provide. Because of the location of the hotel, outside dining options are not easily accessible, so the lack of good on-site options makes a huge difference and significantly reduces the number of nights I’d want to stay.

Very spacious rooms (including bathroom & shower area), very good customer service including interesting accents from around the world. The mountain decor is warm and very comfortable. Spa service was worth it with all the amenities and I can't say enough about the desert scenery. Gorgeous.

The most stunning backdrop to our wedding day! The staff was beyond exceptional and professional every step of the way. Especially Aubrey King who is the Manager of Meetings and Special Events at the Ritz-Carlton Dove Mountain. They made the experience seamless and communicated well with the whole team day of. We couldn't be more thankful to them and everyone at the Ritz-Carlton for their hard work!

Excellent stay here. Beautiful & so relaxing. Everyone we came across that worked there was very nice and helpful. Our room attendants Jessie & Yessenia did a great job. 10/10 would recommend for a work conference, honeymoon, or baby moon (it was all of the above for us)!

The amenities and property fit a 5 star experience. Service was a different story. From my arrival, the guy at the entrance was less than welcoming and not what I'd expect from a hotel that charges >$1000/night. In the restaurants, waiters forgot my orders on multiple occasions. I also requested a tampon my second night; instead of providing a complimentary one, the lady at the front desk stated she'd charge me $4 for the tampon. While I dont care to pay $4, I thought this was serious penny pinching from a business that advertises itself as a 5 start resort. I've stayed at 3 star hotels in 3rd world countries who provided such items for free. Needless to say, I will not be staying again and do not recommend.
