Olive Groves & Morning Mayhem: Robles Ranch’s Musical Surprise”
Dreamed of peaceful olive trees, morning coffee and old-world serenity? Think again! Thumping hip-hop dropping F bombs shakes you awake at 8:30am, then switches to 80s cheese or heavy metal if you dare complain. Comfy-ish beds, slanted floors, and nonstop beats make for quite the disturbing experience . Bring earplugs! 🎶😵 Happy 4th of July

A bit of a disappointment. Upon arriving we see a sign pointing to the office so we go find the office but its locked. We walk around and a lady in a golf cart tells us to go this way and go down there as she points so we go and run into another lady who demands to see our wrist bands and says we can't be on the property without one. We go back to the parking lot and get directed to the locked office. This time we find an envelope with my name on it and get a door key code. Then the owner shows up and takes us to our room that has 2 twin beds and a queen bed when i booked a king. None of the electric outlets would hold a plug. I had to tape plugs in place. There were bugs in the room and the wifi was garbage. 0.2 mbps. The drains in the bathroom were super slow. The fridge made a popping noise every 15 minutes so that was fun to sleep with. If the room was refundable we would have left but I'm not throwing away close to $400. Also mad at hotels.com for saying this was in tucson as its about 15 miles outside the city.

Unplug

Room was rustic but nice, clean. The grounds are beautiful and well maintaned. The pool looked new. It's a big property, take a stroll around and enjoy. Would be a good venue for wedding or large party. The rooms are all re-purposed from the olden days of being a dude ranch. Our room was in the old stables! Note: no TV, but has wifi. Doesn't matter, leave it all off, this is where you come to unplug.

Peaceful Getaway

This ranch is a wonderful place to go for a getaway. The property is so beautiful and is very peaceful. There are no TV's in the rooms which is fine. It was nice to just relax, go for a walk and enjoy conversing with one another. We also had a nice dinner at an Italian restaurant close by.

The room cooling unit became disconnected from the units exhaust system which was loosely connected to a wall. I woke up to machine disconnected to exhaust system and was over heating. It was very scary because the unit had been blowing hot exhaust air into the main bedroom. Really, no tv in room.

An oasis of an interesting and expansive restored historic property. While our original room choice was unavailable at check-in due to unfortunate hail damage the previous night, the manager was so friendly and accommodating in letting us move to a unit more to our liking on night 2. A wonderful stay and I wish I had realized I had a friend that lives directly adjacent to the property.

CLEAN COZY RANCH

The keypad on the door to stable #9 is sensitive. We were pressing too hard and had difficulty getting in as a result. The staff rescued us, nice people. Other than a bad switch on a small table lamp in small bedroom it was perfect. Very charming and quiet! Love the decor, great towels, comfy beds a nite light in bathroom, thank you! VERY CLEAN!!!! I believe the new owner in process of a major renovation. I would suggest mini split AC’s or just fresh air if temp allows. Oracle in middle of nowhere but after a day of driving up to Mt Lemmon it was a nice landing spot. Not a lot of dining options but we found the Ore House Tavern a few minutes down the road and listened to a great band, great food and awesome people watching. We sat out and watched the meteor showers. Great little weekend getaway ranch!

An absolutely wonderful stay at El Rancho Robles! A beautiful property with so many charming little areas to explore. We loved the casita was perfect and I only wish our travel plans allowed us to stay longer! Every single staff member we ran into was so friendly and welcoming and I love how dog friendly they are. During the day, we enjoyed a wonderful hike in the Oracle State Park which was just a short 5-10 minute drive away.
