“Durazo’s Poco Loco specialty salsas are Absolutely the Best!!! Adela the proprietor has so many different selections, from mild to spicy, fruity, something for everyone. The crab dip is amazing, and her Jalapeño crema is one of my favorites and depending on the season Adela has the Best Bloody Mary mix in mason jars that are so full of olives and the tastiest ingredients, love at first sip!!! So with that being said, if you’ve never tired her products it’s an Absolute Must I promise you’ll love them as we all do!!! She is at the farmers markets and on Facebook. Thanks Adela for doing you, keep up the great work ♥️♥️♥️”

“I can’t believe I haven’t stayed here before for staycation purposes when we need to (or want to) stay in a hotel. Not only is the location convenient to Oro Valley / North Tucson, but the experience was really great. The room was spacious and clean, check in and check out were fast, smooth, and pleasant (excellent front desk staff, I liked that), the view was even really good (of the mountains). The bed was comfortable, bathroom had almost everything you need (in my particular case, no soap by the sink, though), plenty of room for clothes and luggage, and I could even use my Roku stick (SO many high end hotels work incredibly hard to PREVENT you from using your own streaming device). Great value for the price. Will definitely return.”

“TBG is relaxing, informative, and fun. I enjoy the butterfly pavilion during the season. The events are great for young and old. It is a Tucson treasure. You can't go just once ....☺?; each season has something special that is not to be missed. I am a CA transplant and appreciate the ease of parking, the great little cafe, and it's size.
It is not too big, not too small, just right.❤ Buying tickets in advance depends on whether it is a special talk or function. Daily most often no need for reservation, but do check before you go to a special event.”

“We had our wedding on February 22nd, 2024. Overall it was a seamless, phenomenal experience!!One of the biggest pros of the venue is how much is included in the base pricing.1) The Venue. Absolutely gorgeous venue, the mountain and desert views are stunning. The ceremony area is gorgeous, the reception area is cozy and warm, and there are many photo-op locations! The venue also has a staggering number of centerpieces, silk flowers, table clothes, decorations, you name it! We donated a few of the extra things we bought for our wedding, and it’s wonderful knowing that our donated wedding decorations may be used for other beautiful weddings.2) The staff. Extremely knowledgeable and on top of it! They set up everything for the ceremony/reception and took it down after. Everything was set up exactly as we had envisioned it, it was absolutely perfect. Made our wedding so stress-free. They had everything bundled up and ready to go the next day, so we could pick everything up easily.3) Wedding Planner. Having a wedding planner who comes with the venue was incredibly helpful. Debi walked us through the wedding day procedure and was very quick to answer any questions we had! She was wonderful to work with.4) DJ. I didn’t realize how important a DJ would be for my wedding until about a week before! We worked with Tim, and he made sure our reception went smoothly. Very smart and fun music choices and checked in on us occasionally to see if we needed anything. He was in charge of mic’ing people up, and from what my guests tell me, everyone was perfectly hearable!5) Food. The venue went through three different caterers during our planning. When we signed on in December 2022, they were moving to a new caterer. In January of 2023, they moved onto the third caterer, Edge Catering. While it was stressful having to pick new meals for everyone, the caterer and venue absolutely nailed it! We had a lot of vegetarians with specific diet restrictions, and everyone got exactly what they needed! It was a huge weight off my shoulders to see everyone enjoying the delicious food. The Edge Catering was a star, and I’m guessing the venue will stick with them!Our perfect wedding could not have happened without the Buttes at Reflections. I’m so grateful to them, and I absolutely recommend them.”

“Stephanie and Deanie are absolutely wonderful. They made my wedding morning so easy. Stephanie decorated the chapel so beautifully. Thank you guys for making our wedding day so special!”

“I got married in the gazebo in Trail Dust Town and had my reception at the Savoy Opera House.If you want to have your wedding here, book it book it book it!The wedding was a DREAM WEDDING.The Savoy Opera House team was incredible and so flexible and well organized to make everything absolutely perfect. I am sure there were some behind the scenes hiccups but I, as the bride, have no knowledge of anything going wrong.Jerri and Suzanne were the MVPs of everything. Their organization skills are legendary and they think of things you would never think of. The communication has been absolutely perfect and they took something I put on paper and made it reality. They asked me “what do you want, what is your fairytale wedding” and they created that from scratch. It is the most impressive display of skill I have ever seen in my life.The bartenders were so incredible and open to us creating a cocktail menu from scratch, Sam and Brianna, you guys rule!!! It was perfect!The day-of organizer, Amanda, made sure that everything was perfect that day and it truly was.The kitchen/waiting staff was so incredibly nice and the food was something that you’d get at a very fancy restaurant, everybody was so impressed and our guests were shocked at how good wedding food can be.The dancing “ring” is so perfect and our DJ said the venue was very easy to work with.Our photographer was so impressed with the organization that included her as well with details and a tour or the property so that we know on the day-of where to go and we don’t waste time.Our florist was so incredibly happy with the options she had to come in and set things up.Absolutely everybody was so impressed with how easy it was to do the jobs they were hired to do.I never thought that I could be this happy and look so fondly back to a day in my life.The Savoy team has given me and my husband that and we will be forever greatful.So yeah, 10000/10 spot. Thank you.”

“One of the best Candlewood Suites I’ve been to in the US. Amy at the front desk was friendly and welcoming. The room was clean and smells fresh. Keep up the good work. I would definitely stay here again. Highly recommend this place.”

“From the moment we met, I knew she was the one. For us. To be in charge of our wedding. Samantha Hay LITERALLY made our day so freaking amazing, and we will forever be grateful for her and her team.Finding a wedding venue/coordinator reminded me a lot of dating. You show up, you have small talk, you laugh awkwardly, and then at the end you say, "We'll be in touch," without ever intending on making a move.When we met Samantha, we knew she was different. She made us laugh (like, REALLY laugh). She set clear expectations on what she could offer. And she didn't put any pressure on us. It was AAHHHMAZING. In our brief meeting, I knew she was the one.We booked a wedding five months out and began planning immediately. She gave us a checklist of things to think about as well as local vendor recommendations (a must for newbies like us!) She helped structure our day while giving us the flexibility of choosing what it will look like, when things would happen, and where things should go ... not to mention the full service bar! We brought the booze (hello, Costco!) and her team served the drinks. Our guests were extremely happy with how the evening flowed and we got so many compliments about how wonderful the staff was all night long.There are so many things that I appreciate about Samantha. From her ability to plan and carry out large events to stepping in and taking over when I got overwhelmed to her willingness to meet a bride where she's at (laughing, crying, and sometimes both) up and through the day of the wedding.Having watched countless wedding movies and never planned one myself, I know that it's easy for chaos to ensue. Samantha and her team never once made me feel like things were out of control. I had complete faith in her and she made all of our dreams come true.As I end this love letter to Samantha Hay and her team, my only regret is not having more time to truly thank them throughout the day. The grounds are beautiful, the views are stunning, and the pictures from our wedding are ones that I will hold near and dear to my heart. Thank you for all of the work you put into making our wedding so wonderful for us. In the words of David Schitt covering Tina Turner, "You're Simply the Best!"”

“Amazingly beautiful and the stars are so bright here. Awesome place to meditate, hike and remember what it must have been like 200 years ago when you could see the stars in the sky. Highly recommend if you are craving space. Literally and figuratively!It's a dream up there on Dove mountain.”

“This review of the Emerald Event Center is long overdue… but here goes. I was so happy to find a facility close to home that would hold 100+ guests. This facility is VERY nice, clean and roomy. From the time I made the reservation with Chrystal to the end of our event, she was always available to answer my questions and was able to satisfy our needs for a successful party. I would definitely use this facility again!”

“i have been bowling here for many years now on and off with friends and family for fun or just something to beat the heat in the summer time. Here recently i have been taking part in the leagues that are offered here and i have to say it really has changed my experience for the better. there is a young lady there named Shannon that has been such a great help to me while i learn the rules of league play. she is always happy to help anyone that needs it and puts up with my silly questions every week even though i can tell she is super busy working. if it wasn't for her smile and understanding nature i don't think i would continue to bowl this much. i hope this helps any perspective new bowlers know that they can count on Shannon to make there bowling experience a great one.”

“The Oasis at Wild Horse Ranch was the perfect venue for our Company Holiday party. The venue is beautiful and the team is fantastic, a big shout out to Devin, the bartender, best prickly pear margaritas eva! The late night food was fun and delicious, and DJ Obi was on fire. Thank you for hosting a perfect holiday party - we'll be back.”

“GPS sent us to the wrong place. Address shows correctly but navigation directs you to turn north on La Canada, into the nearby apartments, which you cannot drive through, because it is a gated community. I wish Google Maps would have directed me to the ENTRANCE to the Cultural Center, which is on River Road, just EAST of the intersection.”

“I enjoyed my stay at the Embassy Suites here. The staff was good. The happy hour was understaffed however. As well as the breakfast bar, where I feel that they can still offer fresh pancakes and French toast which I really miss.

I've gotten better at ignoring microaggressions however as I was leaving after I had already spoke to the front desk about a late check-out the man at the desk decided to say something real snide I did ignore it then however I will put it on notice. He was the only person with this type of attitude there”

“Excellent Organization! These folks are very community oriented and are very kind. From the staff to the TPD Sargents that attended the function we were invited to.”

“Nice place, great location, friendly employees. Get's a little noisy, both inside and outside (right by I-10. Lot's of trucks leaving early in the morning). I would stay there again.Rooms: Nice and dark for sleeping.”

“Very private and peaceful with a great view. Ate at the Gallery restaurant had the members favorite chicken sandwich with bistro fries for lunch. Friendly and clean property.. windows clean as well good to see”

“The night before we stayed in a crappy hotel in California. So, maybe I am very impartial to this hotel, it was clean, comfortable, friendly, conveniently located and when I come back through in January I am staying here.

Rooms: Good sized rooms.

Safety: Felt safe all night and with my vehicle in the parking lot.

Walkability: Mall across the street and places to eat in any direction.”

“I had stayed at this hotel so year ago. The quality is still there, the only things I found missing was the old Southwest charm. It is sleek and modern, which I find to be a direct contract for the facility and it's location.”
