| - My first thought about Cibola "resort" is that it is not named right. It should be Cibola "resort-lite" or even Cibola "resort-wannabe." The following may clarify that thought, which is neither a criticism or complaint. We stayed here for a week in March. Many of the other reviews about the rooms I can tell you we did NOT experience, at all. Our suite was decorated to my taste (southwest-tuscan vibe) and laid out perfectly. LOTS of doors, and LOTS of light-switches, which were needed because the suites are a little dark. This was not a problem though, and I can imagine, is REALLY nice during the hotter months. The compromised star in this area is that although the suite was clean overall, there were lots of dents, scratches, patches needing paint touch-ups, and nicks in the walls and woodwork, and I was literally grossed out by the weird "stain" and feminine hygiene product that was on the ground outside our front door when we checked in, and was still there when we left. Just gross. Despite what I thought from reading some previous reviews, there IS housekeeping, although they were a no-show on our second day.
There are two pools, both of which are VERY inviting, and spotless, and we spent time at both the family pool, and the adult only pool. Towels are provided (resort like); there is a bar and food available at the adult pool (resort like); there was no food or bar or outside food or beverages allowed at the family pool (BIG ouch). Ample lounge chairs at the family pool (resort); shortage of lounge chairs at the adult pool (not). The "bar" at the adult pool was akin to a "snack bar" in a tuff-shed, with a counter and some seating. The menu is diverse, but not too big. I can't speak about the food because we didn't eat, but what we saw, looked pretty good! The drink selection is average, but not resort like. The grounds are really pretty, and well maintained and clean. There are BBQ's and fireplaces, that we be great when the weather is cooler and at night. The workout room is very well equipped, but small.
I did NOT find the staff pushy about the time-share offerings. They asked when I made the reservation; I said no. They asked when we checked in; I said no. That was it! NO hard sell at all.
We had no issues with WiFi or connectivity. We were not far from the main check-in/lobby, so maybe that's why. Regardless of where we were on the grounds - boom - signal.
We didn't try the spa, but I was tempted! The menu of services seemed pretty traditional, and not overly priced (ha - there's a perk to being a resort-lite or resort-wannabe)! There were activities planned throughout the days, but we elected to pass and just relax poolside.
Although it won't last forever, they are building a new building of condos, and there is construction noise. I didn't notice it starting too early, or lasting too late, but it kept us from the noisier side of the pool and grounds. It's construction -
The staff across the board was nice. Just that, nice. Not particularly friendly or attentive, but there, and doing their job.
I would go back. It's not particularly close to anything, but given the price and grounds, worth it!
