My stay at the Esplendor was quite enjoyable with an inviting atmosphere and beautifully decorated rooms that had a wonderful southwestern charm. The views of the mountains surrounding the hotel were breathtaking, making the experience even more memorable. Although there were areas like the grounds that could benefit from some upkeep, the overall charm and uniqueness of the place gave it character. The prices felt right for what we received, though some aspects could use refinement.

My stay at Esplendor Resort was quite enjoyable, especially because it felt like we had the place mostly to ourselves. We appreciated the charming atmosphere and the scenic views of the surrounding mountains and valley. However, we found some aspects of the property to be a bit dated, and a few facilities need attention, like the dining experience which could benefit from better service and variety.

The Esplendor Resort offers a lovely getaway with beautiful grounds that enhance the overall experience. We were pleasantly surprised by how spacious the pool area was, perfect for both relaxation and some family fun. However, the dining options left a bit to be desired, with limited menu choices and higher prices for the service. While we enjoyed our stay, the overall dining quality could be improved to match the resort's potential.
