Sadly, Sorel is too expensive for what it is. It's obvious it used to be amazing but it's in need of a maintenance team and general refreshing. The rooms are clean but old. The hotel is seriously understaffed (one poor waiter in the restaurant) and the front desk staff is hit or miss. There are lightbulbs out all around the property and everything needs a fresh coat of paint.

The daily expeditions, scenery and location of the hotel are great and why I'm giving the hotel 4 stars instead of 3.

We did the Canyonlands tour, UTV tour and horseback riding. All of the staff running those activities were fantastic and are working hard. We didn't receive any services from the spa and can't speak to that.

The location is absolutely amazing, with stunning scenery all around. The gentle babble of the Colorado River flowing nearby is incredibly soothing and relaxing. The night skies here are breathtaking – incredibly dark and filled with countless stars, perfect for stargazing.

The staff were exceptionally friendly and welcoming; they quickly learned my name and made me feel like a valued guest throughout our stay.

Our room was large, spacious, and perfectly suited for traveling with our dog – plenty of room for our furry family member to roam comfortably.

However, there were two significant drawbacks that impacted our experience. First, this is a working ranch, so expect authentic ranch noises (animals, equipment, early morning activity) throughout the day. These sounds often cut through the otherwise serene atmosphere, which might disturb light sleepers seeking total tranquility.

Second, and more disappointingly, the mattress was extremely uncomfortable. You could feel the springs prominently, and every time my wife turned over, it sent me bouncing – it felt like being launched into orbit! For a property that positions itself as a 4- or 5-star experience, high-quality mattresses are essential, and this fell woefully short.

Overall, the natural beauty, location, and staff make this a special spot, but the ranch noises and poor bed quality prevented it from being perfect. We'd consider returning if the mattresses are upgraded!

The property was very dog friendly although the daily charge for the pet was high. We did not use the spa.
I was annoyed that when we had a drink at the bar, they made us buy food, citing a Utah law that they claimed forces them to require that patrons buy some food at the bar. I happen to live in Utah part time, and have oftern had a drink at a bar that did NOT have this requirement. I don't think they know what thery are talking about and really resented this.

This resort was exceptional. The river rooms had a world famous view with amazing areas to sit and enjoy. The food is amazing and the service supreme. The ranch was very informative with tons of animals to visit. We did a trail ride on horseback that was spectacular. This is a great value and we can’t wait to return. Easy access to town with a wonderful drive in and out. We love Moab, the stars and The Sorrell Ranch. Thank you for your hospitality!!

The property worst experience for money paid, you have a tolet flushing ac sound all night if you want to have ac running, if you want to sleep you have to have ac off, another minus ghere is no food at restaurant menu that you can order, half menu is not availabele and if you aant to eat you have to go to town which is 35 min away, so for money you have to pay for stay at this hotel is not worth at all, we are not leaving reviews ussualy for our hotels we stay at. But for this one we have to, avoid this overpriced and overrated hotel, it is not worth the money thay charge you for the night. Any other motel or other chain hotel which is 10 timex cheaper in this area is 10 times better. Will never stay here again. Di not waste your money!!!

We visited at the end of December, which is off season. We were the only guests.

The staff took us on hikes and made dinner, lunch, and breakfast just for us. They were fully staffed as it is a working ranch.
Rooms were excellent directly facing the river.
The setting is magnificent with huge mountains and mesas surrounding the property. We loved it and the team there.

The luxury of desert views.

The location of the hotel is excellent. The luxury of Sorrel is that it gives you the experience of living on a ranch with animals. Its not South Beach or New York Luxury. Its the luxury of getting away from urbanity. The hotel could use some updates in the furniture and design. The staff were excellent, always accomodating and friendly.

Property was beautiful but the level of service on all levels was very bad for the money you were charging on a nightly basis. At $800/ night you would expect to be greeted immediately at our car, handled quickly at check in,explained in great detail all of the various activities , personally taken to our roooms....nope..,none of that happened. Then when we came for dinner,, you were out of two items on a very limited menu, the wait for dinner once ordered was over thirty minutes and nobody was in the dining room. Same for all meals...way too long a wait. 5 star location with 2star service. The staff that we interacted with were always very nice but clearly, a lot of new hires and training was non-existent. If the room rates were $400/ night we could have overlooked a lot of this nonsense...but not at the rates you were charging.

A dramatic and very disappointing drop-off!

We stayed there in 2015 and it has gone backwards dramatically. It’s as if no exterior or interior maintenance and upkeep has happened at all. The place was a mess. It’s as if the owners decided to strip all revenue out of the place and run it with absolute minimum staffing. (The staff that was there was generally hard working but they were way overworked.)

We ate dinner three nights there and they had to Comp drinks and/or dessert each night. The level of deferred maintenance was very high. It is a shame as the setting is stunning.

Not worth the very high cost

Beautiful setting with a large, comfortable room right on the river. However, not worth the cost. 30 minutes from town so food options are very limited. There is another resort a few minutes away that has the same views and is more reasonable. When I got home I saw they charged me for an additional night by mistake.

Sorrel River Ranch is hands down one of the best places I've stayed in my life. Amazing views everywhere you look and a great location if you want to go checkout National/State parks. There's a ton of amazing scenery all around the area but we could have stayed on property for our entire trip and been completely satisfied. The restaurant is fantastic and our horseback ride was a ton of fun. Highly recommended!

Wonderful service and relaxing resort

The service at Sorrel River Ranch Resort is impeccable. Everyone treated us like royalty and did what they could to make our vacation wonderful. The resort was perfect for relaxation - quiet and far enough from town that we could enjoy the solitude. We participated in a horseback trail ride which was fun (it was in the morning before weather got hot). Restaurant was quite good and dining outside on the deck overlooking the river in the evening was very pleasant. Plus, they had a Tesla charger for our electric Tesla vehicles.

Quiet Stay at Sorrel River Ranch

The Sorrel River Ranch Resort is situated along the Colorado River with views of beautiful red rock buttes. The resort is very quiet. The location is several miles outside of Moab. We were the only people at the pool on a Saturday. The staff customer service was excellent from check in to check out. Unexpectedly, we were delivered a try of treats to celebrate our anniversary. Food and service at the restaurant were great. Sitting on the deck of the restaurant for dinner we were able to watch the river, sunset, and a lovely heron. Our room needed some maintenance in the bathroom including a broken drain fixture and slow drain in the shower. The views were spectacular.

We had a wonderful experience at Sorrel River Ranch Resort. We stayed in a King suite that faced the river. We saw wildlife everyday. The rooms are well appointed and clean. The beds are very comfortable. The food at the restaurant was excellent as was the service. We sat outside and it was breathtaking. We were not aware we could utilize the spa sauna/steam rooms at our leisure, which would have been so nice after a long day of hiking! It's a very nice spa; However, don't be deceived by the literature which has a menu of different types of massages. I chose the Push, but was very disappointed. The attendant was very nice and accommodating, but she was not a good Massage Therapist. Worst massage ever.

Ranch-like setting on the Colorado River

Loved the setting of this resort, on the banks of the Colorado River with views of surrounding rock monuments. Our room had a rustic ranch-like feel and was clean and very comfortable. The staff was incredibly friendly and helpful. The food in the restaurant was delicious. Our only disappointment was the service in the the upstairs dining room. We ate there two nights and found that the waiters were not as attentive nor as friendly as the other staff members we encountered. The pool was a nice plus.

A Truly Amazing Place”


This is an amazing place. Slightly off the beaten path, the place, scenery, facilities and staff will make this one of our return destinations.
1) The Place - this is truly a ranch with high end luxury. It caters to both families and couples and there is enough room for the two to easily mix. Located ON the Colorado River with Mesas (mountains rising up from the surrounding area like in so many western movies) on the opposite side of the ranch, gave all rooms great views. Horses in pastures, wild turkey/deer and the farm animals were a daily delight!
2) Scenery - beautiful scenery everywhere! Rich deep red rock canyons/mountains with the neighboring river were the theme of this area. No matter what direction you looked or corner you turned, you were simply amazed. This is not to mention the beauty of the National Parks (Arches & Canyon Lands) located near by.
3) Facilities - great large rooms and ranch style lodge with nice dining and nightly entertainment made our stay comfortable and enjoyable. Coming in from a long days hike or a horseback ride to a nice room and a good restaurant was always welcomed. Great pool, hot tub by the River and wonderful fire pit (w/s'mores). Great activities center.
4) The staff - best part of the resort. The staff was great! The GM (Justin) made sure our needs were being met. Great restaurant staff (Brian, Thomas & Chef Chris), horseback guide Darby and Arches tour guide Singer (Awesome host and guide) and loveable dog Mattie

This is the third time we've stayed at SRR & it never disappoints. The ranch it's simply magical with views of the Colorado River. Jeff, the adventure guru, took great care of us arranging an amazing horse back ride tour through Castle Valley (aka Westworld) and great morning yoga sessions with Shannon. We highly recommend this ranch & can't wait to return in the summer!

Nice resort with a beautiful canon setting on the.

This is a very nice resort. We spent 4 nights in a family cabin with our 2 twenty something children. It was a beautiful setting. It is about a half hour drive into town or to Arches. We knew that when we set up our adventures, so no big deal. There is only one restaraunt at the resort so if you're staying for a few days you might want to make other dinner reservations in Moab. The staff is very pleasant and attentive. We were there at the end of the season. They seemed to have a one women staff at the spa, meaning Spa services other than massages were not available. That being said, she did a good job with all the massages we had booked. We would consider a return visit.

Beautiful location, not meeting luxury standards

The Sorrel River Ranch location is beautiful. The hotel within itself is nice, but not meeting luxury standards. No upscale amenities and personal touches that you would expect at a hotel of this price point. The staff seems untrained and all inexperienced. There is no turn down service, I was unable to control the temperature in our room below 68, there was dog hair on the rug in our kitchen area, not enough pillows, etc. Small things that you expect with a $500 + price tag. The restaurant is overpriced for the quality. The waitstaff is inexperienced - for example, they served my dinner while I was still eating my salad, etc. Not the service you expect along with a $55 entree.
