Rancho de los Caballeros

Wickenburg

I visited the ranch as part of a corporate meeting and spent an evening and then two full days before departing early in the morning on the fourth day.  Overall, my stay at the ranch was amazing.  The property itself was very nice and comfortable, but the staff is what really makes it extraordinary.  Everyone from the cowboys, the wait staff, the maintenance men, the bartenders, the housekeepers, and even the morning yoga instructor understood that it is the little things that take a visit from ordinary to above and beyond.  

Check in:  This is a dude ranch, not a high tech Marriott, so temper your expectations.  You get an actual key, not a key card, and you'll want to listen to the explanation of how to get to your room because the place is sprawling.

Room:  I had a two queen bed room that was very large and comfortable.  The bed was amazing.  My only complaint is that it was a little dark unless I opened all of the drapes wide.  I also had a few minor plumbing issues as our group was one of the first to visit the ranch after it reopened in the fall, but they were dealt with quickly by maintenance.  

Food:  The food was AMAZING.  Everything in the restaurant was served buffet style, but there was also a station with the specials where the chef would make things your way - omelets, tacos, etc.  

Activities:  We had a lot of special activities because of our group, but even the things that are part of any visit to the ranch were a blast.  I did morning yoga, a horseback trail ride, and many other fun things.  I would also recommend you see the horses run to and from the corral and the pasture every morning.  It is worth the wait.

Want to leave the ranch:  Ask the front desk and a staff member will drive you into town.  

Great Place for Retreats, Families, ... pretty much everyone!

Cuddledown sheets so comfortable we bought them for our home. Sunday brunch is fabulous. I've been going to the ranch since 1957. Beautiful, gracious, first-class experience. I miss Dallas, Edie and Rusty Gant.

Wonderful vacation!

We had a wonderful time at this ranch!  The room was large and comfortable with a large private back patio.  The staff was very friendly and helpful.  I regret waiting so long to write this review because I have forgotten everyone's names.  The horseback riding trails were the best we have ridden.    There was something for everyone and the views were magnificent.  The horses were well trained.  I liked my Kidd so much I requested him 3 days in a row!  We had a wonderful time with the Colonel who taught me how to skeet shoot.  He made me feel so comfortable and I did better than I imagined I would.  The only disappointments were a lack of variety in food options and the fact that we were never able to get spa appointments even though we started trying to book them two months before we arrived.  Apparently the spa is not fully staffed until  November.  We hope to plan another girls trip the the ranch in the future!

Great ranch!

My husband, kids (ages 11 and 8), and I had a wonderful time at Rancho de los Caballeros!
The resort is beautiful! We stayed in connecting Bradshaw suites (king and double queen). The king suite had a kitchenette with table and a fireplace. Both rooms had a great view of the mountains and horse run. We loved the southwest decor. 
The wranglers and horses are amazing! They really know how to match the ride with your skill level. We went riding 4 times during our stay and each trail was different and offered beautiful views of the Sonoran desert.
We enjoyed the nature walk and Hassayampa river tour. Dick is extremely knowledgeable about the plants and animals of the desert. 
My kids absolutely loved archery! The instructor Mike is very informative. He helped us newbies feel comfortable and learn proper form.
We had the getaway package so meals were included. Breakfast and lunch are buffet and dinner al a carte. There were always great options at the buffets. Dinners were my favorite though. The short ribs and filet are delicious! The cookout was very fun! We enjoyed the food, entertainment and, of course, s’mores!
We didn’t golf, but the course looks so beautiful!
We had such an incredible experience and can’t wait to return!

A wonderful vacation!!

A beautiful ranch and good food and activity activities.   Staff is excellent, horse program and gold course amazing.   Accommodation very comfortable.  But auto 15 PC gratuities on everything and for 7 of us for six nights is the price of a small car.

Wonderful but very expensive

We recently took 24 people to the resort and I cannot say enough great things about our experience.  Suzanne helped coordinate everything for us from horseback riding, penning, golf, our food, etc.  We spent 3 days and had a great time.  The staff was really great and our private cookout with balladeer was something to remember.  So thankful to the entire team at RDLC!

Indiana 50th Birthdays Trip

Recently stayed a few days here. The visit is what you make it - there are lots of activities to take advantage of, or you could just sit out on the patio and soak in the Arizona sun. 

Check-in and check-out were super easy. There was always someone at the front desk if you needed anything.

Rooms were large, clean, and cool. Pillows were very comfortable. We had a small issue with the bathroom which was resolved in decent time. Walls are paper-thin. If you happen to have other guests in the room next to yours, you hear everything.

The food was decent. Meals are buffet style. Not a ton of choices and not the most gourmet of meals, but some of the deserts were delicious.

For activities, we opted for the horseback riding and cookout. Horseback riding was fun. It's for all riding levels. A couple of wranglers accompany a group through the desert - absolutely stunningly beautiful. The cookout was good. Food was ok. The sunset was amazing.

I cannot say enough good things about the staff. They were some of the friendliest staff I've encountered anywhere.

Overall, the resort was more rustic than up-scale, but going there with that in mind, it's a great place to get away and enjoy the incomparable Arizona desert.

Experience the southwest

We stayed here for a complete chill out on our driving tour and were not disappointed. The moment we drove onto the ranch we relaxed and felt completely at home. We chose a package that included all meals (will come to these) and the opportunity for 2 activities each from trail riding, trap shooting or golf. We chose trail riding x 2. There are other activities including nature trails, electric mountain biking, jeep rides......

Our room was large and airy with a private patio over looking the adjacent dessert. The king size bed was one of the comfiest we’ve ever stayed in. The bathroom was clean with a spa bath and shower- bit of an update wouldn’t go amiss but don’t let that put you off. 

Our meals were included and they were all delicious and freshly cooked - a top end restaurant standard.  We had the full choice of the menu from burgers to fillet steak. I had the chef’s special both nights which included venison one night and a delicious chicken dish the other - everything was cooked perfectly.

There is a dress code in the dining room in the evening - gents must wear a long sleeved collared shirt and ladies dress smartly - jeans are allowed. Lunch on our 2nd day was a bbq by the pool. 

The trail rides were fantastic - we joined the beginners group for our first ride - I had Bert and Keith had Lomax. We headed into the scrubby desert for a 2 hour trek. This is not along straight, sandy tracks but up and down steep hill sides - the horses are so sure-footed that even a complete novice (Keith) felt perfectly safe. We rode on Western saddles which was a first for me - very different from an English saddle and tack. 

On our second trail we were riding with Wrangler Audrey or Aud. There was just one other rider - a little girl - Hattie. As we set off we didn’t know that this was an intermediate ride and we would be trotting as well as walking today! OK for me but Keith’s 3rd time on a horse. However this went really well  as Audrey made sure we were all comfortable and safe. We all had a great time negotiating the rocks, climbs and descents on the trail. 

Not to be missed are the morning and evening horse runs as the herd of over 80 horses run to and from their nightly pasture on a track around the ranch. Amazing to see these magnificent creatures doing what comes naturally as they head off together for overnight grazing. 

Each evening we were entertained in the saloon by different singers playing guitar and singing country songs. 

We loved our stay and would definitely return.

Go for the Chill out but be sure to do a trail ride

Wonderful experience.  While in Arizona we stayed at the Phoenix Biltmore and Ranchos Los Caballeros. The Biltmore was overrated and over populated. Ranchos los caballeros was perfect for us. Our seven year old children loved the kids camp and attended nearly every single day. The wait staff was attentive and kind.  The restaurants and food were great. My favorites were the Brussel Sprouts salad, the filet, the crème brûlée, the Lamb appetizer. The grounds were well maintained. The horses were great and trail rides were nice. The golf course is beautiful. Lunch at the golf club was a delight.  I was very impressed with the kindness of the entire staff. I felt like part of a family rather than just a reservation.  If you read the website they do advise you book reservations for activities in advance- we did this and were able to do all of the activities we wanted. The spa was very nice as well. I look forward to the renovations they plan to make and will be excited to return!  Shout outs to Camp Caballeros!

Wonderful Family Resort

I will start with the food and some staff were AMAZING!!! If you are looking for a more rustic casual Dude ranch this is NOT the place, this is more of a elderly wanna be country club. The front desk staff is clueless and less than helpful. When we booked our rooms we did not receive a welcome letter nor does their web site have a know before you go page to explain any details. We arrived at the ranch to find out most of what we wanted to do was already booked and that we should have booked our activities in advance. Their new activity director did help take care of some of that, but it was not a good way to start the trip. Then we were informed dinner required collared shirts and formal wear. We did not come prepared. The front desk told us we could attend the pizza making every night instead, it was casual. Luckily we went to dinner in what we had and no one said anything. There is no regular entertainment after dinner. Also there is no place to get snacks, the gift shop closed at 3, lunch is over at 1:30 and because no one warned us about making reservation before we show up our dinner was not until 8pm. They need a snack bar out by the pool. Bring extra drinks and snacks if you go. Our room was disappointing and the water in the shower would not stay hot. Based on what we paid we would not go back, we do not feel like we got our money worth.  Our kids had an amazing time but the ranch is lacking in a lot of areas. The charge you arm and a leg but deliver sub quality in a lot of area. There is so much potential. Overall not awful, but we will not go back.
