I just returned from a 3 night stay at this resort, and must say that I agree with other reviewers who thought this hotel was just ok. First the good: Front lobby staff were extremely attentive and helpful. I was always greeted with an open door and a smile. The pool was lovely; in fact the property and grounds were... More

We were at this resort in January. We enjoyed our stay. We had a room with a king-sized bed, ample space in the room. Beautiful view. And, comfortable - temperature control, bed, etc. We dined at Sirocco two evenings. Both times the food was very good. The wait staff was exeptional. They were friendly and attentive to our table.

We are staying here on site for a business conference. We paid extra to upgrade to a corner room for more space. Although the bed is comfortable, it is a typical hotel room that needs a facelift. Small, thin towels, tiny toiletries, lackluster bathroom, it feels very institutional. The terra-cotta design blocks on the exterior of the building detract from... More

We were very disappointed with the room we were assigned to at the Renaissance Esmeralda. We had reserved the room based on the reputation of the Renaissance chain, expecting a room that was "special". That was a mistake. Our 7th floor room had a worn, stained carpet, stained upholstered chairs, and an ugly, uncomfortable chaise lounge that was covered by... More

First visit to this resort -- we were very impressed with the facility and staff. Kudos to front desk staff, housekeeping, restaurant servers and especially the pool bar staff. Grounds were beautiful and well kept. Only thing I'd change would be pillows and linens -- don't like the soft squishy ones, and sheets came off the mattress corners. More

Staff at this hotel is first rate. The first impression of the resort was beautiful. Pool area looked fabulous - too cold for us to make use of it. I wish I could say the same about the room. Very average - very tired. The room was set up for one person even though the resort knew we were a... More

As usual, Marriott does everything right at this resort! The rooms are attractive and well kept. Staff are willling to do anything to help you. Everything you need is available. There are nice restaurants including a lobby sushi bar. In the evening, there are granite firepit tables surrounded by couches. You can just kick back and enjoy a cocktail. Pool... More

We stopped by the Renaissance Esmeralda for one night on our Christmas Holiday drive through the Southwest. We were very pleasantly surprised by the excellent quality of the rooms and especially the food. Our 6th floor room, with two queen beds, was extremely comfortable, and had a great view over the pool and the mountains. The bathroom was suitably large,... More

We spent New Years day at the spa and it was a relaxing day. My sister and I with our spouses spent the day. The manager of the spa was so accommodating and went out of her way to make our visit special. Thank You. It was a great start to a new year. More
