  • The rooms and the property are GORGEOUS! Lots of local wildlife to see. Polite enough staff, though one of the valets was a little rude and yelled at me when I opened my car door to wave to someone I was meeting telling me to stay with my car. But I was quickly over that. I have a greater issue with the Talavera restaurant on the property. The restaurant is over designed to the point it insults the guest. The eclectic old southwest look is nice to look at but they completely forgot about function!! Case in point is that all of their tables have a HUGE bulky pedestal base. This base means that if a lady is wearing a fitting dress or skirt she has to sit very far back from the table and is banging her knees into the awful thing. Another option is to hike the skirt way up and straddle the thing. Either way it is uncomfortable and not what you expect when you spend $50+ per plate. The menu is handed to you on a wooden plank that is awkward to handle. Plates, serving cast iron pans, faux-recycled (look it but are not) butter dishes and everything else at this place is all style and no substance. Just plain awkward and uncomfortable. When you are here you really just want to finish up and leave. Then on to the food. The food is completely uninspired. I would expect some local flavor but there was none. It is steaks and seafoods which are ok. with side dishes that are completely insulting. They combine a bunch of fancy sounding stuff but the outcome is a barely palatable failure. Their corn side dish was served semi cold and tastes like it has lemon in it. Actually I think lemon is probably the secret in everything. I have had cilantro lime roasted corn before and that was spectacular. This lukewarm, not really roasted corn with lemon juice and maybe some olive oil or something on it was mediocre at best. The flat iron steak was fine but not spectacular. The kale side was sour and not good, also served fairly cool. Their rolls were served hot and those were tasty though they would have been better off making the butter salted butter rather than sweet butter with huge salt chunks which were again just awkward. I'm not trying to nit pick but truly when I say awkward, I'm trying to highlight how this combination of awkwardness makes the dining experience less than spectacular and came across as almost insulting. As if the kind of people who stay at this kind of resort are so stupid that you can throw anything with a fancy name at them and they are supposed to rave about it.
