They should not advertise a restaurant if it’s never open, we were told there’s frozen meals for purchase. There’s literally one restaurant open for dinner in the area and it’s not great.

Thank you for staying with us. We sincerely appreciate your business. We're sorry to hear you stayed with us when Duke's wasn't open. Duke's restaurant hours are evenings, Monday through Friday. It is closed on the weekends. We'd like to be open on the weekends, but don't have the staff to do so. If unforeseen circumstances arise, like staff shortages, sometimes Duke's is unable to open. But, we do everything we can to be open so that we may offer our guests an outstanding meal. Thank you again.

We loved staying at this location. It was stop for us between Cortez, Colorado and Santa Fe and turned out to be a lovely surprise. We got the large room with 3 beds, sofa and gas fireplace. The motel and area were unique and fun. And the staff was very helpful and friendly.

We had a good stay but our room was out dated, the pool area was great and the outside was well kept, the breakfast was good except there was no turkey sausage or bacon for us who don’t eat pork and there was no fruit on the breakfast bar.

The Desert Rose was perfectly situated and provided most everything we needed. We arrived late afternoon and were disappointed to find the restaurant was closed. We were fortunate to have a recommendation from someone else as to where we could find a meal. Our room was clean and welcoming. The pool was a lovely addition. There was a gym also available although we did not use this. My only criticism is that breakfast was quite unremarkable and especially as this was a more expensive accommodation than other places we have stayed during our travels. The choices were quite limited - cereal or oatmeal. There was no fresh fruit available. There was only white sliced bread - no brown or choice of bagels or muffins. The ‘hot’ choice was scrambled eggs, potatoes and sausage patties but none of these were particularly hot and the eggs and sausage were leathery in texture. The breakfast was adequate but as I said, disappointing when you considered the overall cost of the accommodation. A shame really because the resort itself is lovely.

We rented a cabin, and it was the cutest, cleanest, and welcoming little cabin, we absolutely loved it. The staff was extremely nice and professional. The pool area is seperate from the hotel and cabins, but was a newer addition and extremely beautiful with unreal view of the rocks. There is also a restaurant on site as well, that served very great food, and the staff was also very welcoming and nice.

For a $200 plus hotel located off the grid, breakfast is woefully lacking. Check in person was devoid of even minimal friendliness. Room was very nice- glad to see they fixed their cable TV, although be aware there are not even 20 stations offered. Not much value considering the price

We were there in late February. Desert Rose is fantastic. Loved the place. Cabin was beautiful and breakfast was great. However, in February, their restaurant is closed and dining options in Bluff are not just "limited," they're essentially non-existent except for lunch. There's a nice little convenience store up the road; just be aware of the limitations.

We're pleased to hear that you enjoyed Desert Rose Resort & Cabins. Thank you for your comments about your cabin and your breakfast. During the winter months, many of the restaurants in Bluff are closed. You must have just missed the opening of our restaurant, Duke's, which opened for the 2024 season on February 26th. There is another restaurant in Bluff open in February, but they are closed on W and Th. Thank you for staying with us. We appreciate your business!

The cabins are adorable & perfectly decorated with the feel of calmness. Great romantic weekend getaway with plenty of free adventures to explore. This place should be booked 24/7.

Executive cabin stay
The hotel is very decent, although the main restaurant was shut for the winter season, which proved a disadvantage since Bluff is a tiny place, and only a couple of eateries open. However, the included breakfast was served in the restaurant area. We stayed in an executive cabin, but having looked around the property, the other rooms may have been a better choice, since the size and furniture ( plus layout of the room ) was probably better suited to a single traveller. The surrounding area is fabulous, and a good base for visiting Monument Valley

This place is BEAUTIFUL!!!!! Sitting in the secret garden watching the sun set was spectacular!!!! The pool/hot tub with windows showing the amazing mountains surrounding the facility was fantastic. The attention to detail and luxury made this place extra special. Including a summary of things to do in the area. Additionally, the meal we had at the restaurant was the best we had on our two week trip. I would recommend this place to everyone who is in the area - or just wants to make a special trip.
