"The scenery from the rooms is hypnotic" at this desert resort 1,000 feet above downtown. Adobe casitas open onto landscaped terraces, while suites have telescopes, private plunge pools, and outdoor showers. The "courteous and first-rate" service includes chilled towels and snacks at the pool. Visit Talavera for "excellent food and a smashing view" or Crescent Moon for modern Mexican cuisine served indoors or on the terrace.
