Four Seasons Encantado is the perfect place to unwind, breath deep and connect to this special New Mexican land. We have much history with this property - from the 1980s when we often visited the Rancho Encantado hosted by owner Betty Egan to the current management under the Four Seasons. Returning always ignites all our great memories. This property is our favorite place to stay in Santa Fe area as we are close enough to go into town if we wish - a beautiful 10 minute drive on Bishops Lodge Road - or just happy to stay in Tesuque away from all the congestion of downtown and take in the quiet and endless expansive views while having a most comfortable and well appointed room. The rooms were recently refreshed. The Auberge reopened the property in 2008 and whoever redesigned the layout of the resort unfortunately really missed as the central focus from most rooms are of the parking areas. However the vegetation has grown up nicely and certainly gives more privacy and less parking lot views from many rooms. Sadly many rooms still lack privacy. We were shown our assigned room, an upstairs unit, and even though they said a two category upgrade we were unhappy the room deck on which we spend a lot of time. We looked out right onto a neighboring deck, parking spaces and the spa building across a street. We splurged and upgraded to an Encantado Suite and so happy we did. The spacious suite sits on the highest spot on the property and so gifted the best room views with incredible sunsets. There is a coyote fence at the end of the outdoor space which obstructs most of the lower building below. It would spectacular if they added a plunge pool. Enjoying morning coffee on the nicely appointed outside area with the refreshing New Mexican air and distant spreckled mountain views was the perfect way to start each day. We enjoyed walks on and beyond the property and relaxing by the pool. We ate breakfasts here each morning and very good. We especially enjoyed the New Mexican offerings like the chilaquiles. Pool service was excellent. Pool side snack of guacamole, salsa and chips very good. Sheldon, the bartender was happy to make our margaritas to our request. Drinks and service in the bar and fire pit very professional and friendly. We ate no dinners at Terra as I am a vegetarian and the menu quite meat driven. We would have liked to dine here as a great atmosphere. I wish they offered a few vegetarian New Mexican offerings like a well made cheese enchilada with table side guacamole and pintos. I would happily pay a premium for such an entree and the handsome dining room. We ventured to town for all dinners. The shuttle service they provide to downtown is a great service. In closing we so enjoyed this property for its sense of space and beauty. We look forward to returning.

“Amazing oasis in the desert and convenient to Santa Fe!”

Absolutely perfect stay for our anniversary celebration. The casitas are private and wonderfully decorated.

Absolutely perfect stay for our anniversary celebration. The casitas are private and wonderfully decorated. Loved being close to Santa Fe for activities but tucked away just outside the city for privacy and relaxation. This is the best hotel by far for Santa Fe. We have stayed directly in town at other luxury hotels, but they are tiny, noisy, and nowhere near the level of Four Seasons service. We will always stay at the Four Seasons for future Santa Fe trips.

“Rustic Elegance in the Land of Enchantment”

Situated remotely outside of Santa Fe, the Four Seasons Rancho Encantado is, at the risk of using an overused word, an oasis. The property is not a hotel, rather guests stay in casitas situated throughout the wonderful resort grounds. The casitas are lovely and provide guests with a sense of privacy that is not often possible in a traditional hotel. Beautiful properties can be found in many places, but as you would expect, separating the Four Seasons from other beautiful properties is a team that is absolutely and steadfastly committed to the guest experience. We had some issues with our room during our stay that would have normally negatively shaped my perspective of a property, but after bringing these issues to the attention of the team, they demonstrated a commitment to not letting those issues ruin my family's stay. They addressed the issue with the room to the best of their ability and then went above and beyond to make sure we left our stay with a sense of joy. Candidly, I don't believe I've ever seen this level of commitment to guest happiness. To go into specific detail about all of the efforts the team made would make this review way too long, but suffice it say that the team redefines what it means to provide an outstanding guest experience. As to the specifics of the property, Terra is a wonderful restaurant, the attached bar is lively yet comfortable, and the fitness center and pool are terrific. Try to look for offers that include food and beverage credits, because off-site dining options entail a decently long drive.
