A vacation isn't meant to be a stressful affair. People often slave for weeks before, trying to figure out a plan for where they should go, what they should do, and when they should do it. Not you. You want a vacation where all of that stuff is taken care of by people who know what they're doing. If you've never been to Arizona, how can you possibly know what to schedule anyway? These ten resorts, hotels, and inns are among the best in Arizona at showing their guests everything that the Grand Canyon State has to offer.

Be it for individual, twosome, or family, Circle Z Ranch has been providing excellent product and service since 1976. With the jaw-dropping Sky Islands as a backdrop and seven authentically detailed adobe cottages available for rental, you certainly won't regret choosing Circle Z for an all-inclusive vacation.

If you’re trying to experience all Circle Z has to offer, you’re going to end up going to bed exhausted. Horseback riding, as it is throughout Arizona, is a staple here. Circle Z gets guests of every skill level, and is more than happy to offer riding lessons for the less-experienced. There’s also tennis courts, and a heated pool if for some reason it isn't blisteringly hot that particular day. Food is, of course, gourmet and prepared using fresh and local ingredients. Then allow the unbelievably good-natured staff show you to your cabin. You’ll sleep like a rock, guaranteed.

According to TripAdvisor, the White Stallion Ranch is the number one hotel in Tucson. Yes, out of 131 hotels, the White Stallion Ranch was rated by guests as the best, bar none. That simple fact seems telling in itself as to the type of quality you can expect when staying there: unprecedented service, exquisite accommodations, and superior fun.

White Stallion Ranch owns one of the largest private herds of horses in Arizona, and their multitude of riding experts will expertly match each guest with a specific horse for the duration of their stay, based on their experience, height, weight and riding ambitions. After that, throw caution to the winds and explore the surrounding wilderness. If you prefer watching people ride horses as opposed to riding yourself, the Ranch hosts a rodeo every now and then, complete with bucking bulls, rodeo clowns, and barrels of fun. Want nothing to do with horses at all? While it’s peculiar that you chose to go to a ranch, perhaps you’d enjoy rock climbing on one of the cliffs at the east end of the ranch. A climbing guide will be there to oversee your safety, but otherwise it's just you versus mother nature herself. How can you resist?

Ever wanted an authentic cowboy experience? Of course you have. Who hasn’t wanted to swing onto a dusty horse, adjust their 10-gallon hat, and lasso a couple of runaway steers? While there’s no guarantee that Rancho de los Caballeros can help you accomplish all of that specifically, they nonetheless can provide you with a definitively cowpoke weekend.

Rancho de los Caballeros has a nigh-endless supply of fun activities for you and your family to participate in. Of course there’s horseback riding, and with 20,000 acres of scenic Sonoran desert to explore, it’s rather unlikely that you’ll end up riding the same path twice. But how about hay rides, ATV and jeep tours, and even hot air balloon rides? Each offers a unique perspective of the gorgeous Arizonan landscape. If you need some relaxation, hit up the spa, pool, or do some bird-watching! An all-inclusive stay at Rancho de los Caballeros only is limited by your imagination.
