Four Seasons Resort Rancho Encantado Santa Fe

We stayed for a glorious four nights last month, loved it and can't wait to return. The casitas are lovely, comfortable and spacious, and the whole property feels like it fits in perfectly in the desert setting, as Four Seasons often do. We had breakfast at Terra every morning and food and service were always excellent, with a special mention for Estrella for providing wonderful and warm service to start our day. The food was also fantastic, and I am still dreaming of those blue corn pancakes. We had a wonderful and quiet dinner there one evening as well, where food wine and service again were exceptional. We used the hotel shuttle just about every day to drive us into town near the plaza or Canyon Road, and enjoyed chatting with Elijah and the rest of the drivers. We visited the spa every afternoon and loved the private courtyard sauna and hot tub, it was a great way to wind down before dinner; to sit in the courtyard under the sun and listen to the birds chirping. Overall, we can't say enough good things about it and look forward to coming back.

First experience at Four seasons rancho encantado was exceptionally wonderful. Local and had never been to this establishment but was invited by some neighbors and thier family. Walking in to a friendly hello and welcome in by Mynor. We decided to have a quick lunch in the Terra restaurant. Hostess was personable (didn't get her name) We were waited on by Kevin who was always on top of our needs and had some great menu recommendations. Restaurant was fairly empty (surprised) since food and prices were fair. Had the Terra Burger and it was absolutely great! We preceded to walk the resort after lunch and walked to the Spa, very tranquil and relaxing as soon as you walk in. I can go on and on but I can say I will definitely be going back with friends to enjoy especially when the weather is warmer and can enjoy the patio.

I stayed at the Four Seasons Santa Fe for an early Christmas trip with my partner and his parents, and we had an absolutely lovely time. This property definitely lives up to the Four Seasons name, and was a really relaxing and beautiful place to unwind for a few days in the high desert of New Mexico. The sunsets from the bar's terrace are breathtaking. The resort is a short drive (about 15-20 minutes) to downtown Santa Fe, and its about a 45 minute drive to Bandelier National Monument which was surprisingly cool as a self-guided day trip. My partner and I stayed in a Rancho Suite, which was AMAZING, and my parents-in-law stayed in a Vista Casita. All of the rooms are recently renovated, and feel fresh, and have a modern, chic, and sophisticated style with a distinctly New Mexican touch. The Rancho Suite was incredibly spacious - huge, really - with a large living room, large bedroom, gigantic full bathroom / dressing area, and a separate powder room. And the signature Four Seasons mattress and bedding - honestly its my favorite part of staying at a Four Seasons! The Suite also had a large outdoor patio, and two fireplaces, one indoor and outdoor. I would highly recommend upgrading to the Suite, if possible to feel like you're really treating yourself. The Vista Casita, which my parents-in-law stayed in, was also incredibly tasteful and thoughtful in its interior design and furnishings - but I was just blown away by the suite! The difference between the Rancho Suite and Encantado Suite is apparently the view, with the Encantado Suite having one, and the Rancho Suite not. The view from the Rancho Suite was terrestrial, not too bad, with desert landscaping and such. It is worth calling and speaking to someone at the resort after booking if you are particular about your view - I was surprised to see the resort's layout after arriving, which isn't easy to understand from the online photos - some of the casitas look like they have views more directly onto the parking area, or are nearer to other casitas - while other casitas look like they are naturally positioned to be facing a more private direction. Two other great, and complementary, amenities of the resort are - you can reserve a private hot tub area via the spa - which we took advantage of each day - this might be harder to reserve when the resort is busy. And, there is a really scenic hiking trail that starts right from the resort, and has great views of the surrounding landscape, local plants, and wasn't too challenging for a novice (it had some steep bits, so at times a workout!) But, it was nice to do a hike without having to drive to a trailhead. The service was superb, with all of the team being friendly, and making us feel welcome. Each night we had the "fire butler" come and light our fireplaces. The hotel also provides complementary s'more kits / marshmallow roasting kits, which was a really cute touch. The staff in the main lobby area were always kind and friendly, asking if we need
