Garden of the Gods Resort & Club

The resort itself is fabulous and amenities are fantastic! However, the highlight of our stay would be the exceptional service we received from the team. Whether it be dining, front desk, valet, room service, or the Strata spa we were delighted to see such a well managed and attentive team focused on providing the best customer service possible. I wanted to thank EVERYONE who made our stay a 10/10 but we unfortunately do not know all their names. Shout outs that we do remember are Robert who we came across at the start of our stay and kindly helped us get to our room. Barbara who we had the pleasure to meet during our second day at the resort, and the wonderful lady who works the bar at the Grand View Restaurant. We will be coming back here!

I live in the area so I didn't stay at the hotel... Just came for lunch one day and for the views and was not disappointed. The views are breathtaking. Marissa the bartender was awesome. Great cocktails. I wish they offered a day pass or something to the public to enjoy the pool area.

Ok, five stars on accommodation, service and location. All, stunning and beautiful. But…..the BIG thing I’d been looking forward to was an outside hot tub, chilling out, middle of winter with a beer. So, I was annoyed that the only hot tub was semi enclosed in a room, extremely small with space for only 3-4 people, and the giant outside hot tub, that was PERFECT was running air jets, but was ice cold! What the hell guys, weren’t we paying you enough?? If there’s ever a time to have a great outside hot tub it’s the middle of Winter. When every other thing was excellent, it was a shame to be let down by this. If you’re not bothered about hot tub….10/10

We enjoyed a 2-night stay here. Our room with 2 queen beds was very spacious with a huge bathroom. The view from the balcony was amazing. We found the beds very comfortable. The fireplace in our room was a very nice touch. Only two things prevented me from giving a full score. First, the breakfast at the Grand View was just ok yet very expensive. Second, there is no electric vehicle charging onsite. I was quite shocked to see a hotel of this caliber not having any charging stations. The hotel did offer to do pickup and dropoff at a nearby charging site, but obviously it's not convenient. Overall, we were happy with our stay.

I stayed here several times, the regular rooms have a breathtaking view but the cottages are just amazing. Food is great, even when we don't stay here, we come here for lunch. Great pool, great staff. Recommendations to make it better: Remove the $200 Pet Fee and offer seasonal passes for the pool.

This is really an amazing resort! The views from the rooms are spectacular and the workout amenities are quite impressive. The location right next to Garden of the Gods lead to some amazing views as well as opportunities to get out and hike. I would certainly have given this place five stars, but somebody must’ve thrown up in the hallway the night before and the smell was rough. I did mention it to the hotel staff, but I think they may have needed to do a bit more to alleviate the issue.

Set in a gorgeous location at the foot of Garden of the Gods, our night at the Garden of the Gods Resort & Club was a wonderful treat. We arrived at our 4pm check-in and were greeted by some lovely staff members who got us squared away quickly. Our room (a junior suite) was decked out with all the amenities we could ask for, paired with a phenomenal view of the Garden of the Gods. At dinner we went to the Grand View where the vegetable topado, cheese board, and mushroom enchiladas were all huge hits. Pro tip; the Manchego cheese pairs perfectly with the provided apricot! There was also an extremely extensive wine selection, which catered to all price points. The only snafus with our stay were the soaking tub in the bathroom being inoperable, and that the breakfast room service arrived about 10 minutes earlier than we indicated which required a bit of a mad dash out of the shower. Nothing that was experience breaking, however! Overall we loved our stay and cannot wait to visit again in the future. If sublime views and delicious views are your forte, you will enjoy your time at the Garden of the Gods Resort & Club!

This resort was a 10/10! Heated infinity Pool with spectacular views of Garden of the God's and Pike's Peak. The valet staff were all phenomenal and very professional and kind (Gave great suggestions on activities to do nearby), Front desk staff was also very courteous, staff member in Strata desk was very kind and took the time to walk us out to the pool and show us around and give little tips! Will definitely be staying here again in the future, wish we would have stayed here longer during our trip! Food was fantastic and wine was great at the dinner. Locker rooms were very clean, hot tub was exceptional.

I recently spent a day exploring Garden of the Gods, and let me tell you, it's a hidden gem just outside of Denver! One of the standout experiences for me was checking out the Siamese Twins Trail. It's a short but sweet hike--only about 150 feet of elevation gain--but totally worth it for the views. The trail is easy to navigate, and the payoff at the top is amazing! The rock formations are really cool, and you get this stunning view of the surrounding area. Also, if you're into interesting geological features, the Balancing Rock is a must-see. It's exactly what it sounds like--a massive rock that looks like it's precariously balancing on top of another, and it's honestly a pretty impressive sight. Perfect for snapping some photos and soaking in the natural beauty. One of my favorite things about this park is that you can drive around the entire park. I wasn't in the mood for a long, strenuous hike that day, but I still wanted to experience the landscape, and this was the perfect solution. The scenic drives are easy to navigate, and you get to see so much of the park without having to work up a sweat. Plus, there are plenty of opportunities to pull off and take in the views or take short walks if you feel like it. Overall, Garden of the Gods offers a little bit of everything--great for hikers, casual park-goers, and anyone who just wants to enjoy nature. It's not too far from Denver, so it's the perfect spot for a day trip, especially if you're looking for a more peaceful, less crowded option than some of the other parks around the area. Definitely recommend checking it out if you're in the area!

From the moment we checked in to the reservation fiasco for New Year's, the entire experience was an absolute headache. The manager, who was supposedly the highest-ranking on duty, showed a complete lack of care or accountability for the situation. The table we had reserved was given to another party, and when we confronted them about it, they claimed we had a reservation at 8 PM and failed to show up. This was blatantly false, as I showed them a message from their morning manager confirming our reservation was for 8:30 PM. In reality, we were planning to be there by 9 PM but were delayed due to being stuck in our room. The explanation they gave us was both confusing and insulting. They claimed that the other party had the "same last name" as ours and told a "similar story." However, the group occupying our table was white, while we are Middle Eastern, with a long and distinct last name that is anything but common. It was evident to us that their story didn't add up and felt more like an excuse to cover their mistake--or worse, to justify giving preferential treatment to others. To make matters worse, after acknowledging their error, they offered us a table in the darkest, most undesirable part of the restaurant. The table wasn't even set up properly, further adding to our frustration. It was clear we were being treated as an afterthought, with little to no effort made to accommodate us or rectify their mistake. By the end of the evening, everyone in our party felt deeply disrespected and discriminated against. From the issues at check-in to the humiliating treatment at the restaurant, we were left feeling unwelcome and undervalued. What should have been a celebratory evening turned into an unpleasant and disappointing experience.

Garden of the Gods resort was sold a few years ago to an enterprising and very capable couple of women in town. They have upgraded the resort and made the dining and service parts of the operation absolutely world-class. Not just rivaling the Broadmoor, but surpassing it, the place was an unbelievably wonderful spot to spend the weekend In celebration of our 20th anniversary in memory of having been married there those 2 decades ago. It truly could not have been better in any way at all. Not just a treat in America, but a treat when compared to any place on earth. Perhaps its only competition would be from the Aman resorts chain, but even they cannot challenge the views available from the Garden of the Gods Club. And the food at the renovated Grand View dining room was at a level above the food we had at the Broadmoor's Summit restaurant the next night. Take a look at the pictures and book yourselves in for a very special visit the next time you're looking for a place to celebrate a big event in the area. Expensive (especially on the weekends) but worth it since it will be a unique and forever memorable experience. Ciao bella, David M

Amazing stay. The rooms are beautiful and well kept. The staff is very accommodating and friendly. The food was a hit or miss, but the mussels and pizza are a definite hit!

What a disappointment that was ! We stayed here for 5 night me and my 3 boys , the facility is beautiful and new , the location is amazing,can not beat this kind of views , some of the staff ( valet guys specifically) are amazing those are the pros. All of our stay they said they have a problem with the WiFi that they work on but did not fix . Some of the staff has really bad attitude like you owe them something and they are just not in the right job . Room service is horrible and prices are not reasonable for what you get . Our room named sheet were not replaced for 3 days although I requested it multiple times . The food from days before was not picked up same day and left outside. There cottage rooms are in insulated well we did not have "neighbors "until our last night and I couldn't go to sleep , you can literally hear the other room farts ( I am not Joking ). The first couple of days were very positive and we actually extend the stay , it was a bad decision. Me and my kids will no be back here . Happy new year

So incredible! The food to the views! Had awesome cocktails and great pasta! Highly recommend

Pros: - Absolutely stunning views - Cottages and casitas are spacious and lovely. - Wine on tap in the rooms - need I say more? - 5-piece ensuite bath with soaking tub!!! The showers and bathtubs are enormous. Very high-end, luxury. - Loved the spa and the salt (halotherapy) room. - Staff are wonderful! Very kind and attentive - Valet and concierge is amazing. Greg specifically is like 100/10 stars! From the moment I arrived, he absolutely insisted on driving me to and from my casita, helping me with all my luggage, and waited for me at the end of the night until 11pm, AFTER his shift had ended, to drive me back to my casita from the club. I was here for a wedding and he was extra accommodating for some of the elderly guests, bringing wheelchairs and making sure everyone was taken care of above and beyond. Irreplaceable team member and I hope that he is well taken care of because you won't find another Greg. Cons: - Casitas/ cottages are NOT sound proofed from each other. There are 3 units in 1 building and we had the HUGE misfortune of hearing our neighbors .... all night Like it was happening right in our room. But we could even hear the smaller things like their TV or the clinking of their glasses or just basic conversations. I was really taken aback by this - should not be issue at such a nice resort.

Great experience, but I didn't use most of the hotel like the spa or restaurants (except the coffee shop), so can't fully evaluate. Parking was challenging, but found out later there is free valet parking. The checkin staff was very helpful and nice. The room was beautiful with a view of Garden of the Gods. I had trouble finding the thermostat, but it's behind the lamp. I ordered breakfast from the coffee shop. The info they gave me at checkin said I could text my order, so I did that, but didn't get any response. I finally walked over there and the server said the iPad charger wasn't working, so it was in the back and she didn't get the text. The price for the food wasn't worth what I got. The whole property is beautiful and hopefully next time I'll experience more of it.

Garden of the Gods is a Colorado treasure. Yes it can be a bit crowded but mostly it's just beautiful. Be sure and stop at the shops, they're full of lots of cool items to remind you of your trip

Grand View Lodge Restaurant is the perfect place to eat and enjoy conversations with friends. The atmosphere is amazing with daylight views of Pikes Peak and Garden of the Gods. The meals mostly delicious and drinks yummy. I especially enjoyed the featured mule. We ordered a shrimp cocktail to share. It was quite ho-hum. Regular cocktail sauce and shrimp that was small and barely crunchy. I've had better in a grocery store frozen tray. My salmon was very good. It was served on a small bed of mashed potatoes with two small sprigs of broccolini. The side order of cauliflower was large, well seasoned and very tasty. My husband wasn't impressed with the scallops. Our friends enjoyed their lamb and the trout. For dessert we ordered the Garden of the Gods one. Though it was hard to determine what the items on the plate were, it was nevertheless tasty. I thought there was supposed to be chocolate but didn't find any. We would return for a special dinner during daylight so we could partake of the view.

Highly recommend. My sister invited me to come stay here a few days with the family. My nieces and nephews are visiting too. Went swimming 2 days in a row and just relaxed. They have good restaurants there. Whether you eat at the resort or drive to others in Colorado Springs. Everyone works really hard at their jobs and smiles and courteous, just always making sure your stay is wonderful at the resort. The view is spectacular by the way got great photos. Thanks to amazing staff::::Lexi,Cynthia, Tess, Ian,Cole, Terren, Andrea, Caesar and there was a young guy to thank he was at the pool in am attending to all of us and a nice lady has an English background Thanku all.

Great view, great service, great food -- had the chicken parm and a salad. Was delicious. Will definitely be back.

Smashing summer patio lunch. Beautiful views of Garden of God's red rock formations and flowers!

I had the pleasure of joining my husband for a work trip this summer. We absolutely loved our stay at the resort!! Our casita was big and beautiful. It had a full kitchen, huge bathroom, and private porch. Inside and outdoor fire place. Coffee maker and nestles so machine. The grounds were spectacular. There is no better view in the city. Million dollar views!! The staff was friendly! The facilities are clean. Some areas are dated but well maintained. The gym had an awesome view and I love that they have classes that guests can participate in. I did a really great step aerobics class and met a couple ladies. There is so much to do in Colorado Springs! A trip to this city should be on everyone's bucket list!! Here are some ideas for you: 1.

What a great place to stay! Beautiful nature setting, really friendly staff, and lots of well thought out amenities. Close to trails for hiking & sightseeing, wonderful infinity pool & great fitness facilities.

Excellent remodeled rooms in the lodge with a breathtaking view of the park and Kissing Camels. Our meal at The Rocks Lounge was delicious. Our bartender, Phillip, was very knowledgeable with food and drinks. He made great recommendations. The Lobster Roll was full of chunks of lobster meat with shaved celery and toasted roll which added a nice crunch. The Pappardelle Bolognese was meaty and delicious. The lounge had a wonderful musician, Laura Rupejko, who was quite talented. We definitely enjoyed the experience.

Absolutely amazing please to visit! The resort is immaculate and they make you feel welcomed. The views, food, staff and amenities are top of the line. Don't forget the Worldclass 27-hole golf course Kissing Camels

so so beautiful if you come through Colorado Springs, you can't miss this. We did the car tour just because we were kind of in a bit of a hurry, but we stopped and took some fabulous pictures. The rock formations out here are incredible. I grew up in Colorado but my experience with red rocks amphitheater, and Morrison when it used to be just rocks and one house out there. Anyway, worth the drive and worth the walk if you can make it.

4 star hotel and 4 star experience - The views are absolutely unparalleled to anywhere else you can stay in the area. As for the room itself - for the amount we paid each night I'd expected a bit more. The beds were comfy and the fireplace was a nice touch, but definitely a bit out of date. We loved the spa and med spa! A special shout out to Cameron at the bar who was an absolute treasure. This man deserves a raise. Made us an amazing espresso martini and was just so friendly and welcoming. A nice change from The Broadmoor which can be quite pretentious.

The infinity pool was green and full of algae during our entire stay. The resort is considerably overpriced, and customer service is non-existent. Don't waste your money. The resort does have amazing views of Pikes Peak and the Garden of the Gods as well as beautiful newly appointed rooms.

Me and The Hubs booked a 'Club Room - Deluxe King Suite' for 3 nights for our 30th wedding anniversary weekend this past May. It was pricey, but oh so nice and comfortable. It was also Mother's Day weekend and one of the restaurant staff members reached out to us a few weeks ahead of time to inquire if we would like to make a reservation for Mother's Day brunch. Umm, yes, please! I had been so careful to book dinner reservations well in advance for that weekend, but didn't give a thought to breakfast on the Sunday morning we'd be there. Kudos to the staff for doing that, else we might have had to do MickeeDees! Anyway, our room was so comfortable and clean. The bed was one of the most comfortable I've ever slept in at a hotel. There were a couple of minor issues with the room when we arrived which were resolved quickly. The view from our deck (we were on the second floor) of some of the rock formations at the Garden of the Gods was fabulous. The room we booked was a suite so there was a living room area separate from the bedroom. The bedroom itself was very large, and the bathroom had two separate sink areas and a separate room with the toilet and huge shower. There was also a very large walk-in closet (I'm at the point in my life now where a room described as 'cozy' isn't appealing, but I digress...). Everyone we encountered on their staff was incredibly helpful and friendly. I mean EVERYONE. This resort is definitely doing something right! And all the meals we ate on site (one dinner, one brunch, 2 breakfasts) were incredible. I would definitely stay here again. Many thanks to the staff of this resort. You made our anniversary getaway memorable!

We are here for Sunday brunch picking the place for the view. The food was limited so don't expect a huge spread. It's sufficient and tasty but it is not a typical fancy brunch with tons of food. The view is so much worth it. The mimosas and bloody Mary's are worth it as well. Not vegan friendly buffet so vegans will need to order a la cart. Hard to rate stars because of the mix of experiences.

5 stars for the view alone. 4.5* for the food. Just came to the restaurant on site (the one that you don't have to stay at the resort for). Walked in, we sat outside. Our party all ordered drinks & I absolutely loved mine. Friend ordered the ahi tuna tacos, he said it was some of the best, if not the best, he's ever had. I ordered the pork belly & scallops...tasted remarkable as well! It's really hard for things to go wrong when you've got a beautiful view.

Roasted spaghetti squash was fantastic and the onion soup is remarkably good. Venue with overlook of Garden of the Gods makes this a memorable visit regardless of what you pick from the menu

Great experience! Front desk to checkout with nothing but great service. Excellent dinner for party of four and a great breakfast the next morning. Also the views of the red cliffs and Pikes Peak was another highlight of the visit.

Had a dinner reservation at 8pm. Wanted an earlier reservation, but was told that all they had available was either 5:30 or 8pm. Upon arrival, the dining room was hardly busy. On the other side of the coin, the food was awful and extremely overpriced. One person in our party ordered scallops, and the order came out with only three scallops for $41. Wine was $19 for a 6 oz glass. The waitress did a fair job, but not what would be expected at a high class resort. My advise is to save your $$$, and go somewhere else or just go to the patio bar for a cocktail and enjoy the view.

ROOM/AMBIENCE The moment we entered our club room we were floored by the jaw dropping view of the red rocks in the garden of the gods park. One morning, a deer walked right by our room ... it was so cool! The room was well appointed and had a nice gas fireplace and wood shutters that framed the view beautifully. The bathroom was roomy but could use some updating. COMMON AREAS The front desk was very inviting a lounge area that had updated furniture and seasonal decor. There were plenty of little nooks to hang out in. RESTAURANT/DINING The ambiance of the restaurants Could use some work. There is a formal dining area and a more casual one but neither were very inviting ambience-wise. We opted for room service most days which was fantastic both in the quality of the food and the service (Sarah really made us feel special and well taken care of !) The Belgian waffles were my favorite item for breakfast Make sure to try the bison salad for lunch one day, which is generously portioned and absolutely delicious! AMENITIES/SPA Top notch. There is a fitness center which has a sauna and an indoor hot tub. The spa has full service salon, Himalayan salt room and steam room with bottles of eucalyptus you can spray to really open your sinuses for relief during dry weather. There is also a nanny service you can utilize If you have a little one and are in need of a few hours kid free (couples massage anyone?!) SERVICE Was amazing. The front desk has a service which allows you to text at any time for anything (this is how it should always be!)People who deserve special mention for making our stay special: Alfonso- front desk Sarah- in room service Jessie- massage therapist Chrisy- spa reservationist

Overall, this resort is beautiful and a great place to relax. The rooms are updating and the views are good. The not so good: staffing is lacking, literally not enough staff for the resort and also lacking in customer service. Examples: 1) pool service: no one walks around the pool to take drink or food orders. We ordered fries with matcha ranch (per the menu, not a special request), and when they came without the sauce, the pool attendant said that she would have to go to the other pool to get the sauce. She never came back with this. Very disappointing. She also seemed frustrated that we would have brought this up. 2) upon check in, we were told we could get a golf cart ride to the kissing camels restaurant on the property. So when we wanted to go for lunch, we asked for the ride. And we were denied this ride. The valet said he was the only one working and couldn't give us a ride and that the golf carts were charging. What?

Incredible views and amazing amenities. All I can say. The staff is rude, neglectful to detail, lazy and dismissive. I have never been so disappointed in a luxury hotel. The only staff that went above and beyond was the wonderful bell men at the front. They hustled and helped in any way possible. I hope they are valued as much as they deserve to be because those are the only ones that were impressive.

I can't say I 5 stars enjoyed this resort, which is unfortunate. Sure, it had gorgeous views and the gym was spectacular. But the rest of the visit sort of fell flat, especially because my husband got us a villa room... However the walls were PAPER THIN and we could hear EVERYTHING the people next door were saying, ALL THROUGHOUT THE NIGHT. My husband booked me spa treatments for a day at their spa, which was super nice of him, but those too all sort of fell flat. The facial was the best part IMO, but the maternity massage was lack luster, I felt like it was over even before it started (and the therapist started having a conversation with me mid way through- which is a huge NO NO to me) and the mani pedi... They were fine, but nothing better than a mani pedi combo you could get for $30 at a strip mall. I honestly do not see myself EVER staying at this resort again. We couldn't even eat/sample the food here because they had too many events, thus they couldn't accommodate people who weren't part of said events. I will say though, the front desk staff were so very nice!! Triple round of applause for them!

Quick update that the response was just for show. No one from "Senior Leadership" (or anyone else for that matter) "reached out" to us.

We enjoyed a wonderful day in this amazing park! It was willed to the local city, perhaps 100 years ago, by the owner and even today, it's amazing! It's a privilege and an honest to visit an incredible place like this. Don't miss it! Life is good!

This gorgeous spot is worth the cost of entry! I can absolutely see why it gets five stars. The views are stunning. The grass and rocks and sun and shade and bunnies and deer and incredibly kind supportive staff. All make for a relaxing few days. Within our first 24hrs, we had to get three visits from engineering because things in the room were not functional. Ugh. Maybe it's because the room hadn't been used during the pandemic. The engineers were kind and helpful, though not able to easily fix the problems while we were in the room. BRYCE at the front desk was phenomenal!! They found us a new room and graciously accommodated and facilitated a switch. Seriously, the kindness was really meaningful, especially as this was a special trip. We visited the Broadmoor yesterday, and would select Garden of the Gods for the rugged natural beauty. If you are looking for a more Disney experience (the Broadmoor has a bowling alley!), go there. If you want to sit on your balcony with amazing views of the kissing camels and listen to the birds and watch the deer and bunnies feed, this is your place! Maybe it will become your newest happy place. If you can splurge to be here, it's worth the splurge!! How have I never heard of this hotel and resort?!

This review is for the restaurant. The views are amazing, as Garden of the Gods always is. The waitress was good, friendly and not instrusive. We had early reservations and the staff was clearly overworked but never showed stress. This did cause slow service at times but the view more than made up for it. The food- subpar, bland however the presentation was beautiful. The star of the show was the foie gras- the best I've ever had. I had the olive oil poaches halibut & my date had the rack of lamb. The halibut was bland, the quinoa had no flavor - I regretted every bite. My date had the rack of lamb which I tasted. A waste of time. 10/10 Will not go back for food. Drinks were expensive but the view was worth it and I would only return for that.

Is it pretty? Yes. Is it worth the short drive from downtown Colorado Springs? Yes. Should you go out of your way to go here? No. That said, in full disclosure, I can't speak for the actual trails as I did not hike them. I kept to a run on the road and stopped at the various view points along the route, some of which were underwhelming. Free admission with a visitor center across the road and some warning signs for rattlesnakes, it's worth a visit if you're in the area, but I wouldn't put this on your 1,000 places to see before you die list.

Visually stunning! Hiking the trails was breathtaking. They have picnic tables, paved pathways and restroom throughout the park. Excellent for a private hike or family outing.

This is such a majestic and tranquil place. If you are in the area, do not miss this stop. We didn't know that the visitor center was going to be so involved and unfortunately we arrived with only 20 minutes to go before they closed. We didn't get the full experience, but we got to shop. I wish there were a few more signs and direction on where to go when you are on the trails. This place is marvelous, though, and beautiful in ways people on the east coast do not get to experience. You could spend all day here, or a couple of hours. Make sure you bring your water and a camera.

Garden of the Gods is about a 1 hour drive from Denver and well worth the drive and visit! So you know what to expect - this isn't a traditional " hike." Those of moderate physical health should have no problem walking through! You drive into a parking lot and do most of the wandering through paved paths, thus most parts are also handicap accessible. It's not a huge park either, I would say this is good for a half day trip and you have the second half of the morning or afternoon for other activities in the area. The walk is so beautiful. Even before visiting I had thought that the name probably came from those that felt this place was worthy of Gods. I won't spoil it, but the name is explained on one of the information platforms throughout the walk. One of my favorite things was how the views kept transforming and changing, every few steps of the park - every time I looked back it was a slightly different view of the same rock. On a blue sunny day, the red rocks bring such beautiful contrast for a perfect picturesque scenery. For those of you with a permit and equipment, there are also plenty of areas that you may climb! Balancing Rock isn't pictured, but that's a great little stop as well. I highly recommend a visit to Colorado Springs even if just for Garden of the Gods it's well worth it!

9 stars Wow. This place is a force to be reckoned with. This place should be on the top places to see in America. This place is just shocking. It would be a misrepresented review to explain the grandeur of this place unless one parks their car in the main lot, and climbs on the main parts of these rocks and walks along the pathways to take it all in. One cannot possibly behold the magnitude let alone Yelp away a true review of this place unless one does so. The parking here on sunny beautiful days in April is bad. Just forewarning you. But oh is it ever so worth the wait, the circling, the drive, the waiting, the annoyance. Just do it. I promise you wont regret it. I don't have much to say that hasn't been said already. If you are even remotely close to CO I ask you to visit this place. Its AMAZEBALLS in CAPS! :D Bring the best camera you have for some amazing photo ops, some water and snacks and enjoy!!

Beautiful facility. We had a fairly significant problem with our casita on day 3, which took awhile to resolve, but ended with management (thank you Jan) going the extra mile to earn our business. Jan, bedankt voor de hulp. Managers kunnen het beste niet worden beoordeeld op basis van perfectie, maar op hoe ze omgaan met tegenslag door stress. Goed gedaan.

Beautiful view, but the food is expensive for the amount you get and tastes ok and is nothing spectacular.

If you're in Colorado and you love adventuring, definitely make it a point to visit Garden of the Gods. It's breathtaking; you won't be struggling to breathe (unless you're running; speed walking or mountain climbing). It's easy to find (via Google Maps). Tips: Comfortable walking shoes Water bottle (if you're planning on walking around) Camera If you want to climb the rocks, don't forget to get permission) Don't carve your name on the rocks Stretch properly... Be respectful of the park and pick up your trash (Note: If you bring your furbaby, pick up your pet poo and dispose of it properly!) Other than that...have fun

This place was absolutely amazing. We spent hours just walking along trails and rocks (approved rocks). We also ate at the restaurant. It was a little pricey but the food was surprisingly good. Negative-the map had numbers but didn't actually show what the rocks were. While I was standing in line for the restroom (6 stalls for the women made for a long line) there was very interesting information regarding the rocks and animals yet none of that was in the guide. Since it's essentially a driving trip due to its size, it would have been nice to have that information in the guide.

THE BEST HOTEL IN COLORADO SPRINGS! I love visiting this hotel. I am from the area and I have stayed at the hotel, dined at the hotel, and frequently use their spa. The spa services are some of the best I have ever had. The Grand View Restaurant is such a great place to dine for a special occasion. The hotel rooms are clean, comfortable, and luxurious.

Amazing. The rock formations are so beautiful. This is a must go "Free" visit location.

A beautiful nature walk awaits you at Garden of the Gods. I suggest coming when you're not pressed for time. You'll want to take your time to explore, climb, hike, and marvel at its beauty. There are many photographic opportunities here so bring a "real" camera. We came midday in April and it was fairly crowded, so I'm not sure when would be the best time to come for serenity and meditation, but that's something I plan to look into for the next time. If you love nature, this place is a must visit. AND it's free!

It's just gorgeous here. My only regret is not having enough time when passing through. The views are just GORGEOUS. It's not a huge hiking place, but you can definitely spend a couple hours getting all these great sights and beautiful photographs. If not, then take a drive through. You'll just with you could stay longer, but it's worth passing through than not visiting at all. This is the picture of breathtaking and aptly named.

Our stay here was extremely special -- not only did I propose to my now fiance, but our experience here was absolutely exceptional. I can honestly say without any exaggeration that my fiance and I will always remember the special time that we had here. Initially our stay started off on the wrong foot and our situation was escalated to the Vice President, whose name is Dan. Dan did such a wonderful job in being able to reverse our situation into something absolutely incredible. Major props for him and the staff for turning our night into something special. We stayed at the Club room, that had a mind blowing view of the Garden of the Gods, and the mountain range with Pikes Peak in the distance. We were extremely happy with our room, and have zero complaints. While we were out on the golf course for the Fourth of July, staff had left chocolate covered strawberries in our fridge - what a nice surprise! We spent the evening at the Kissing Camels grill for a special buffet and evening of festivities for the Fourth of July. The ambiance here was incredible. After the buffet we headed to the lawn for fireworks and right when they started is when I proposed. Breakfast at the grand view dining room was fantastic. The food was excellent, I highly recommend their t-bone steak and eggs, and breakfast burrito. Very hearty and delicious. This is all of course right on their immaculately cut and manicured lawn/garden. I can't stress how much of an incredible experience we had here. Due to the fact that I had major plans to propose, I obviously was a little stressed and wanted the night to be as perfect as possible. The fact that Dan was able to work with me make our night as special as it was is, is a truly a testament to him and the staff. Thank you so much. Highly recommended!

This was such a cool place to visit. We came here in the late afternoon in a Sunday and it was still pretty crowded. We stopped at the visitor center first and got a map and some recommendations before heading out to the man attractions. The rocks are so cool and I am amazed at how they are formed. We also got to see a few climbers which also inspire me to come back one day and actually climb! The only thing I wish was that they have a better map and pictures of what each rock was. I keep having to ask people where we are and which rock are we looking at. I don't think I got to see all of the rocks that was listed because of this issue. The popular rock was the balanced rock and it was amazing. Probably one of my favorite for sure
