Beautiful and very relaxing. The staff were very friendly and professional. The property itself seems to need some work. Stall door and locks in some ladies bathrooms were broken. The restaurant is amazing. We had really delicious breakfast and dinner at the restaurant. Very highly recommend the S’mores dessert on the dinner menu.

Quiet and serene property near Taos plaza. Enjoyed the large room with a gas fireplace, sunk in tub, and outdoor seating area. Good conversations at the hotel bar in evening with other guests and bar tenders. Would stay again.

I stayed here for a solo trip for my first trip to Taos on my birthday. My stay here has got to be one of the best experiences I’ve had! I’ve stayed at boujie hotels in several cities before but the level of customer service here outdoes them all!! They made me feel so VIP and even welcomed me with a birthday card and goodies, such a great personal touch! From the moment I arrived I was always greeted by my name and that goes a VERY long way on its own! One of the best experiences and customer service I have encountered! I was very sad to leave but I am excited to visit again in the future!

What a gem. The rooms are amazing and the property in itself is a tranquil escape to be taken in like a slow breath. This was a gift for my wife on her birthday, the stay and a visit to the spa for some pampering. She was thoroughly impressed and loved everything about it. You are only a walk away from the plaza and we even walked from there to Michael’s Kitchen for an amazing lunch. Great escape for anyone.

Will be back!

The hotel was lovely. The staff were friendly and helpful. The restaurant was pricey, but tasty. The shuttle was hugely helpful since they would drive us to the plaza, or to just about anywhere. There was a huge tub in our room that was lovely and our view of the courtyard made us feel miles away. We stayed in a room with us parents and our 2 teenagers- my parents were in a neighboring room and were pleased also.

Perfect Refuge

I am not exaggerating when I say I'd live at El Monte Sagrado part of the year if I could. The grounds are so gorgeous, so well planned, that between the outdoor space, the wonderful lounge and restaurant, and the salt water pool, you could be forgiven for not going anywhere else during your stay! The spa is special. You must experience it to know how special it really is.

Skip, there are better options.

Mixed bag... The property has the potential to be great, but it isn't. Staff were either untrained or ambivalent, or even worse- the GM was unwilling to accept even constructive criticism, and when I began talking to him he immediately 'knee jerked' by saying how he just took the position, and then was rude and arrogant about everything I told him. I treated an elderly patient who feel when I was there (I was trying to leave, and it was obvious the staff were not medically trained,) and it cost me several hours when I was just trying to leave, and continue on with my trip. Staff could communicate even the most basic of information to one another, and it constantly seemed weird, and like no one was even clear of what their job was. The property felt soulless, and clearly the owners are more interested in making a maximum profit than actually making it feel like or seem like a 4 star property. I was there for many nights/several days, and I intentionally left the room one morning because housekeeping was in the room next door. When I came back several hours later I found that my room had not even been touched! Gross incompetence everywhere, and the 'new' jackal of a GM is not going to improve on that. Location is on the outside of town, making it somewhat removed, but also kind of inconvenient, unless you are cool with eating in the same restaurant for every meal, and even that they close early when it's not busy. Really disappointing overall.
