The Ritz-Carlton, Dove Mountain

Very nice staff

We would like to thank the management and staff at The Ritz Carlton Dove Mountain for making our 80th stay at this property enjoyable and memorable. We loved our upgraded room and all the special touches. The spa experience was wonderful and relaxing as usual. Justin is a great masseuse and always customizes the service to meet my needs. I always love going to the spa and seeing Cher and Marcela. They are always smiling and a pleasure to be with. We would also like to thank Gracia in housekeeping and Ruth C in In Room Dining. Ruth has a wonderful passion for her job and made us smile. Thank you all and we will see you again soon.

The pictures do not do this resort justice. The property is absolutely gorgeous, nestled in the mountains and surrounded by desert wildlife. We saw Greater Roadrunner, Javelinas, Nighthawks, and more. As it’s a somewhat remote location, the resort offers a wide variety of amenities to explore including both paid and complementary options. On the paid side, the spa, dining, and guided activities such as nature hikes are lovely. But you don’t need to splash out on extras, the pools are great and the resort’s Ranger Station is wonderful. The guides are super knowledgeable and friendly, be sure to visit with Wamba the tortoise. I also highly recommend catching the nightly flute performance from 5:15-6pm. All of the Ritz staff were so kind and welcoming, I can’t thank them enough. A special shoutout to Kellan with the concierge team who was kind enough to not only upgrade us to an incredible room but also answer all of my pre-arrival questions. Thank you, Kellan! Our One Bedroom Executive Suite with a Canyon View (#5006) was perfection. Watching the sun and fall through the canyon was nothing short of magical. I can’t wait to return to the Ritz Dove Mountain!

Cozy and relaxing 💕

Nothing in particular

Amazing experience! From my arrival to departure, every staff member was immediately attending to everything. From just pulling up in the car and someone quickly parking it for me. Giving me champagne at check in, showing me to my room, carrying my bags, spreading my towel for me at the pool, putting the umbrella up so I would have shade. Amazing. The room was awesome, great huge tub and a balcony.

The pillows on the bed were feather pillows and not to my liking but that's just a personal preference. Most people probably enjoy those.

Beautiful as always!

The location is very beautiful, nestled into the mountain side among the wild life with a pretty desert backdrop. I would say this lives up to a Ritz but could use a few more amenities to cross the “amazing” status one might expect. If you have kids this can be fun but keep in mind they only have two pools ( one with a water slide) the other pool is more adult oriented. I would say for kids this Ritz is ok but not ideal. They have a Ranger station room which has live scorpions and spiders etc… there is even a giant female turtle walking outside the ranger station room that you can pet. Nice restaurants but of course everything is pricey. We just drove down about 20 minutes into Marana and they have everything you can want to eat, great way to save money on meals. They do have an arcade which I must say is very well done , as all the consoles have 100s of games. There is no M lounge…apparently it’s was closed during Covid and never reopened; that would be an awesome addition. Overall not a bad experience but just needs a few extras for platinum members which they don’t seem to offer… everything is an up charge.

Nice private location with beautiful quiet views of the desert. Well prepared and etiquette trained staff efficient valet parking and service lobby check in. Easy check in nice upgrade to early check in beautiful view from balcony. Nice pool and gym.

We’ve stayed at the Ritz-Carlton, Dove Mountain many times over the years, and it never disappoints—but this visit was especially memorable thanks to the exceptional hospitality of pastry chefs Marlon and Tan Rio. Their pastries were phenomenal, and the conversations we shared with them were warm, engaging, and truly enjoyable. Chef Tan Rio even went out of his way to surprise us with a custom re-creation of Korean hho dduk—a thoughtful and delicious gesture that made this trip stand out among all our past stays. We’re incredibly grateful to both chefs for their talent, kindness, and the personal touch they brought to our experience. They were a true highlight of our visit.
