Esplendor Resort at Rio Rico

Description:

  • Just a few miles north of Nogales, Esplendor is a secluded hilltop golf resort with great views across the Santa Cruz Valley and amenities that are similar to what you'll find at many Tucson resorts. Rooms are done up in a very tasteful Spanish colonial decor, have attractive tile work in the bathrooms, and are some of the prettiest in southern Arizona. The only drawback is that the resort's Robert Trent Jones golf course is on the far side of the freeway and is a short drive away. The dining room serves good food and has very nice views. The resort is a good place to get away from it all, but it also makes a good base for exploring east to Patagonia and west to Buenos Aires National Wildlife Refuge.

    Facilities: 2 restaurants (Southwestern/Continental, American); 2 lounges; Olympic-size outdoor pool; 18-hole golf course; 4 tennis courts; access to nearby health club; exercise room; Jacuzzi; sauna; business center; room service; massage; laundry service; dry cleaning.
