Travel + Leisure dubs Borrego Springs one of America’s Coolest Desert Towns -- it’s the “only community in America surrounded on all sides by state park land”
La Casa del Zorro Resort & Spa is a blissful hideaway set on 42 acres of land within the charming desert town of Borrego Springs. Travel + Leisure calls the town, which sits less than two hours east of San Diego, one of "America's Coolest Desert Towns" and the "only community in America surrounded on all sides by state park land."
It's also part of an International Dark Sky Community devoted to reducing light pollution, so breathtaking stargazing is the norm -- Huffington Post even named it one of America's best hotels for stargazing in 2016. Guests can borrow a telescope (for a small fee) from the front desk to check out the starry skies. The vibe at the resort is mellow and peaceful, drawing on the natural habitat with a cactus garden and fire pit. Guests can relax at the spa or three outdoor pools, play tennis on one of five courts, hike on nearby trails or take a yoga class in the dedicated yoga studio.
Guest rooms feature high ceilings, wood shutters and poolside or pool-view balconies. Upgraded casitas have a living room and a service bar, and some have a fireplace, private pool or hot tub in their backyard, making them perfect for families or friends traveling together.

Our dinner was served dried and burned, hardly edible. There was confusion about the fireplace. Our room was full of smoke upon arrival, we had to open all the doors to air it out. My eyes and throat were burning from interior air quality and we did not use fireplace. There are rooms available without a fireplace, should have gotten one.

The property around the resort was lovely and easy to walk around. Very handicap friendly with easy access to pool & hot tub also had a lift to assist you to get in. Our handicap room was in a great location and had a big handicap roll in shower. Lots of property for the dog to walk. Property is flat and easy to walk around. We loved it!!

It is a little out of town, which we were prepared for having been to Borrego Springs a number of times. We had a problem with a noisy pump right outside our room which created a high pitched whine in our room most of the time that could not be ignored. It was hard to get a response to the problem, which was not fixed and got worse during our 4 night stay. In sum, I felt that the management was not sufficiently responsive. None the less, I'd stay there again.

It was beautiful. The quality was impressive. We had an emergency and had to leave at 3:00 am to respond to it so I did not get to everything I had wanted to try but we were so impressed that we will be back soon. We did eat lunch in their restaurant which was temporarily being served in the banquet room. The food was delicious and the service by Theresa was excellent.

We were a little disappointed with the dining room. The service was excellent, and the food was ok, but we expected much more for the price.
