Be advised. There is currently a large scale expansion project going on. The noise and pounding is unbearable and permeates throughout the entire building. If you are looking for peace and quiet, this is NOT the place. Also the service level is about the same as the Holiday Inn, in other words, it is terrible. It takes 10 requests to get some ice sent to your room. This is the absolute WORST Four Seasons I have ever stayed at. Maybe the last.

My wife and I celebrated our wedding anniversary at Rancho Encantado - and from the moment we arrived we could not have wished for better. On checking in, the staff were wonderful and everyone friendly. We were offered some hot apple cider which was delicious and shown the activity schedule for the week. Our room was ready even though we were early, and we even had an anniversary surprise brought to us. The room took our breath away. We booked a Mountain View Casita and it was stunning, especially in the snow! The room was enormous, more like an apartment. There was a separate shower (which was one of the best we’ve ever been in) and bath. We had a fireplace in our casita and the fire butlers who came to light the fire were brilliant. We especially enjoyed having s’mores in our room! The furnishings and amenities were top notch, as you’d expect in a Four Seasons. The beds are huge and comfortable. All of the food and beverages were excellent. We didn’t order lots but what we had was very good. We did the margarita demo which included some delicious drinks that our server (Donna Lee - she was really wonderful!) made to our tastes. We had an early lunch and were really impressed by the sandwiches and soup. We had room service one night and we were a little disappointed by the chicken sandwich - it just didn’t seem fresh and Four Seasons standard. The activities were great. We were the only ones on our 9am hike and Daniel was really very good. A very enjoyable way to spend an hour in the morning. We also used the complimentary spa facilities which was pleasant. On the day we arrived, we tried to book same day into the cooking class. Unfortunately as nobody had booked this 24 hours prior it wasn’t being run. Had we known it was an option, we would have booked into it, so it was a shame we missed out on that. Perhaps sharing the week’s activities in advance for inbound guests would avoid future disappointment. The shuttle into Santa Fe was a nice touch. It was comfortable and meant we were able to go into town for a few drinks and get back safely. When paying $$$ for a hotel, we really expect the best and have heightened expectations when justifying the price. We got it. We’ve been fortunate enough to stay at excellent properties, including other Four Seasons’, around the world and have zero hesitation in saying this may well be the best we have ever been to. Thank you, Four Seasons. Without a doubt, we will travel back to Santa Fe just to visit again!
