During our recent family vacation to Phoenix, Arizona, we decided to head down to Tucson for a short visit. We were looking for a quiet, family-friendly hotel, and ended up staying at the Loews Ventana Canyon Resort. It offers some fabulous kid-friendly amenities as well as some luxury amenities, and is located in a quieter area of Tucson.
We arrived late in the afternoon on our first day, and immediately dined at the on-site Flying V Bar and Grill. Although we didn’t try the signature guacamole, we still really loved the food, and the service was fabulous. The other resort restaurants offer more casual fare, like breakfast, bar food, and lunch. Since we were only there for two nights, we weren’t able to check out the other restaurants.
Service at the resort was excellent, with staff members available to help us at just about every turn. Our room, a two-double bed room, was spacious and comfortable. We loved the large, oversized bath tub, the television in the bathroom, and the Keurig coffee maker. Our room had a city view, which was absolutely beautiful in both the evening and the morning.
Loews Ventana Canyon offers a kids’ camp, a spa, outdoor pool, whirlpool, lounge, golf courses and a desert window walk. We checked out the outdoor pool, and the kids really enjoyed it. Unfortunately, we didn’t have time to enroll the kids in the kids’ camp for the day, but we did enjoy the desert window walk – a beautiful walk around the resort installed with the assistance of the Arizona-Sonoran Desert Museum. I wish we had more time to explore the resort, so we’ll definitely be back.
Expect to spend between $110-$400, depending on season and room type.

Jodi, I live in Tucson and I LOVE the Lowes Ventana Canyon Resort. I have been there for numerous events/receptions, and it is absolutely breath-taking. Right up there in the Catalinas–it doesn’t get much prettier, especially at sunset! I recommend sitting on the outdoor patio and having a prickly pear margarita 🙂

Great info here. If someone want a sense of sophisticated style, elegance, class, and luxury, Ventana Canyon is the right place to offer those things.

Tried to get a very relaxing “staycation” at this resort with my boyfriend Cordell. Everything was going smoothly, until me and my lover decided to take a nice swim at the pool, why not we thought. Until a security guard approached us.
We did not get his name but he was on the younger side probably late 20’s to early 30’s and a bit heavy set with a brown reddish hair approached me and my boyfriend who happens to be African American and he said and quote
“get your n*gger f*ggot ass out of the pool right now. he said that we did not have our pool wristbrands and threatened us with a trespassin. multiple other guests saw the incident and we reported it to the front desk but they gaslighted us and the other witnesses and claimed we were the ones who had lied. One of the worst experiences on what was supposed to be a nice romantic time.
