Marriott Tucson Starr Pass Resort & Spa

The so-​called free wi-​fi is not availabe in your rooms. The free wi-​fi is only in the lobby and it is extremely slow.

I had the worst margarita I have ever had and it is the most expensive margarita I’ve had as well.
The parking lot is quite a hike from the rooms and to charge for parking for a hotel only accessible by car seems as backwards as charging for Wi-​Fi.

I love Star Pass Resort. My first experience here was years ago when my cousin got married here. To this day, it was the most beautiful wedding I’ve been to. The ceremony took place on the patio at sunset and the scenery was gorgeous with the mountain views along with the city lights.
After the ceremony, we went inside for cocktails while they set up the reception in the same area. Dinner was served and, as always, the food at Star Pass is extraordinary. They had an ice bar set up and the bartender was top notch (not sure if he was hired through Star Pass or separately).
I recently went back here for a weekend stay with a Women’s Retreat through my church. The retreat included buffet breakfasts and dinners all weekend. Seriously, every time I stay here I feel absolutely spoiled.
Dinner was served to us every night in a banquet room and the servers were phenomenal! I rarely get service that great even when they’re working for a tip. Props to them.
Even if you’re not staying at the hotel, it’s still a treat to come here and sit outside on a Friday night next to a fire with some tasty food and drinks. They’ll even have live music some nights.

For all you golfers out there (‘m not one of them), I’ve heard their course is great, as well!

I have been to many conferences and I thought that the Star Pass Resort was below average for customer service. It seemed if I asked directions within the resort people had no idea this large conference was going on. The food was below average also at the event and also in the lower bar area. Very disappointed as it looked like it would be a great place to go!

We went to experience Hashani Spa at the resort. Beautiful views of the hillsides from the lap pool and outdoor jacuzzi. Cabanas were wonderful to read under to escape the heat of the afternoon. Great fitness center and spa treatments. Highly recommend Damian for a massage. Slightly understaffed, showing in the small details that are overlooked. The receptionist became my massage therapist. John was great but it was a surprise to see him in the massage room.

What a place to stay. Beautiful views and great rooms!!! Funny thing is you may find some cows wandering the premises hahaha If I can find the pictures I’ll post them ;-)
As for breakfast, I ordered the salmon omelet twice. The first time it was absolutely fabulous. The second time, I told them as I ordered that I came back because of the salmon omelet (resort is a resort, que no?), and they overdid it. It was good, but eh. I would still go back again for it.
They have a cigar and wine bar downstairs. You can sit outside around firepits or in darker areas and enjoy the view of city lights from afar. Pools. FItness centers. All the typical resort fare.
Be ready for a walk if you park yourself. And I mean a walk. Far. Just to get to the hotel and check-​in. You’d be surprised by how big the place is.
They have some nice restaurants inside. I was happy with everything I ordered. It was a a few months ago and my memory fails me. My sheer laziness prevents me from looking it up on the website.

The last 2 years I’ve stayed over 200 nights in different Marriott’s all around the country and I’ve got to say the Tucson Star Pass is the nicest property I’ve ever stayed at. Secluded in a small valley, the first thing I saw driving here was a bunch of people riding around the street on golf carts. I hit a bend and all a sudden the view opens up. Gorgeous greens. The whole scene looked like a picture perfect postcard. The hotel itself was in a league of it’s own. Large spaces. A few different restaurants. The bar in the center of the hotel extends out to a huge patio with a scattering of fire pits which all over look the two gigantic pools and the greens. The rooms were luxurious. The bath rooms had a tub and a glass door shower with granite tiling. I was only here one night, but it was very relaxing. If you ever visit the area and you want to lay back and chill this would be ideal for you.
