    It was incredibly beautiful, serene and peaceful at the C.O.D. Ranch. Staff phenomenal and…read morepersonable. Intend to return and highly recommend!

    I've been to C.O.D. Five times in the past two years…read more I'm gluten and dairy free and I've been to A LOT of workshops, classes, retreats, etc. Normally I pack my own food with me because for some reason, even in today's world, people find gluten free & dairy free to be an insurmountable challenge. Not this place. I have never enjoyed such a wide variety of choices. Yes, I said choices. I could actually choose from different dishes at each meal and every lunch and dinner came with a GF/DF dessert option! In all my illustrious travels, this treatment is unprecedented. I feel spoiled when I come here. One night they even made homemade dairy free ice cream. Stay here and say goodbye to the old "I guess I'll just have salad all week since there's nothing else I can eat" syndrome. It's not all about the food either. The location is beautiful and secluded with plenty of hiking trails. Seriously incredible views of the desert/hills. The rooms are a bit rustic, but I enjoyed their quirkiness. It helped me to remember I was someplace special, someplace not to be taken for granted. I stayed in three different rooms over the years and each had its own bathroom, multiple beds, dresser, heater, and I think they had A/C (never used it). I was always comfortable and slept well. They also have a pool, jacuzzi and wonderful fire pit with benches around it. Cell reception is spotty (that's a plus in my book), but they provide wifi, so if you need to stay connected, you can. The staff is also really friendly and helpful. I'm not sure what else to say other than I'd recommend coming here. It isn't a fancy resort, but if you want to find a place where you can slow down and fall back in love with the world again, give C.O.D. a shot!

    Nice place with fun activities and a few quirks. My favorite was the Saturday cookout. It wasnt…read morebest steak ever but was good and really enjoyed the live music and outside venue. Went here for a family reunion and everyone had a blast. We had a big group with kids and teens up to grandparents. I loved the rooms and furnishing. Bed and chairs all super comfy and sturdy. The activities were all fun and the folks running the activities really seemed happy and helpful. One caveat is some guests seemed to have unrealistic expectations of the activities and their abilities. For instance a lot of people didn't qualify for the lope ride and probably shouldnt have qualified for safety reasons but still seemed upset about it. My kids were too old for the kids club but the kids who were in that program looked to be having an awesome time! It is great to have that option on a place like this. Couple things they could improve on: The online activity signup clunky to the point of barely functional. Everyone, even small kids had to create separate accounts -- i even called to confirm this and was told to reuse emails and phone numbers. A 9 year old doesn't need their own account. One member of our group just gave up on signup and showed up for events. Also you need to have everything signed up for by 8 pm the night before but there is no easy way to cancel and no penalty for not showing up -- so when activities start there is usually space but you have to wait until the no shows don't show. Bathrooms in some rooms were quite small. The toilet in my sisters room i think was built for a child. The food included with the rooms was good but not great. The al a carte menu was better but quite pricey. Also service in restaurant seemed good not great. We would have to flag down a waitress and several times they would say no problem and scurry off to fulfill our request, when others at the table also had requests. Also some of the staff could use some more training. They are clearly reaching for a luxury travel experience but check in, communication and questions seemed to lead to different answers from different people. For instance when the folks before us were checking in they were asked what time they wanted to come to breakfast, while we were told to call 1 hour before coming down -- frankly i dont really want to do either and would like to just show up for the breakfast thats included in price. The staff was all very nice but a bit more training and organization is needed. But none of the issues really affected our trip and as a whole great time and I would definitely return.

    We have been to Tanque Verde twice, and absolutely loved it both times. The staff are so friendly…read moreand welcoming, and most of them have been there a very long time. There are a wide assortment of rooms. Last time we had a nice Casita. This time we were in a smaller room, but it still had a wood-burning fireplace, which was so cozy on chilling evenings, The property is beautiful, the trail rides are wonderful and the desert landscape is stunning. It is such a treat to be around and ride the horses. We also went on great walks, hikes. They also have tons of activities I'd like to try next time, like pickleball, tennis, archery, fishing, etc. The pool area and Jacuzzi is so relaxing and beautiful. My husband loved the saloon, and it was a fun watering hole for happy hour. I was doing Dry January, and the bartender made me a tasty mocktail, and we met some nice people. The food was very good. We were there for Friday prime rib night, which was awesome, and loved the salad and soup bar. Looking forward to our next trip and hope to bring more family or friends next time!
