Peoria, Arizona
Cibola Vista Resort and Spa brings the beauty and adventure of America’s Southwest to life. Just minutes from Phoenix and a short drive from the popular water-sport excitement of Lake Pleasant, this quiet slice of desert offers guests two distinct vacation experiences—an ultra-relaxing spa vacation and a desert sightseeing adventure. With a central location to everything Arizona, Cibola Vista Resort and Spa is the starting point for every great desert vacation. The resort itself blends a rustic, adobe-style exterior with elegance and modern amenities inside—from authentic Southwestern décor with sweeping desert views to cozy fireplaces right there in your living room. Outside you’ll find a series of walkways throughout the resort property, allowing you to explore amazing courtyards, gardens, fountains and the custom pool area with its desert backdrop. Whether you come for a relaxing spa retreat or a family adventure, this resort welcomes all.
Onsite amenities
The resort and spa seem to exist in two different worlds—a pure benefit for those looking for a spa-only weekend. Start your day in the fitness room, then head to the pool and unwind with a swim and refreshment from the poolside bar. Kids are welcome, too, as at all Bluegreen Vacations resorts. A three-story water slide winds through the desert landscape, and a large list of activities, for children and adults alike, offers plenty of fun. Adventure also awaits. If you’re in the mood for a cowboy adventure, take advantage of the Cibola Vista Riding Program and hop in the saddle to experience the thrill of the “Old West.”
Our industry is dealing with an unprecedented labor shortage throughout the country. As such, this property may be unable to guarantee that your room will be ready for the standard check-in time.
We booked this for the pool. When we arrived for checkin, we were told the room wasn’t ready and someone would call us when it was. I was then sent into a room and pressured into signing up for a time share promotion. Half way through our stay we had someone come to our room asking when we would be checking out. We told them we still had days left. They left. 10 minutes later someone else came to ask the same thing. This happened 4 times over the next hour. We called the front desk to ask where we could empty our trash. They said to put it outside our front door. On average, trash would sit for 3 days before anyone would take it. Our room was very much in need of updating. Holes in walls, cracks in the shower and the vent in our bedroom rattled whenever the air came on. We went to the time share talk and immediately told them it wouldn’t fit our lifestyle. Our sales guy was very nice and said he’d make sure we were out fast. His, “boss,” on the other hand took it personally and proceeded to tell us we weren’t raising our children very well because we homeschool and travel the world instead of staying in one place and enrolling them in public school.
Beautiful property, easy check in. Good restaurant and fun pool. Host had great communication. Will be using him again to book at cibola vista
Nice property but no internet.
My family and I absolutely loved staying here. The room was very nice and had a fantastic view of the pool. The property was well maintained and in a wonderful location. Staff was also great. We can’t say enough how much we enjoyed our vacation here. We will definitely return!
Because of the previous reviews I didn’t have very high expectations, but I loved this place! The grounds are beautiful and perfect for vacation selfies. The food truck and walk up bars were very convenient! This doesn’t reflect at all on the Vrbo host but rather the entire resort but the walls are VERY thin. All night we heard neighbors and luggage rolling around on the floor above us. I would recommend adding more info to the posting like how to check-in, where to check-in, wifi availability and check-out info. Small minor things to stop me from leaving 5 stars but I will definitely return here!!
Overall a great place that fit our needs.
The resort is nice, nothing incredible or amazing, good area for restaurants, grocery stores, etc. The condo is nicer than a hotel room because you have more space - a kitchen, washer and dryer, etc. Is anything going to blow your mind? No, but it's nice and does the job. Was the most incredible experience ever? No. But we didn't have any complaints or issues. Probably wouldnt come back to this specific resort, but we had zero issues or problems renting this specific unit through the owner and would recommend him/her.
Beautiful property, and the unit nicely decorated. We had some difficulty finding the unit as there were no instructions about registering in the office.
Check-in process was looooong. At least 20 minutes while the girl clicked away at her computer. Unit was dark and needed updating. Lighting in bathroom needs to be brighter. Nice layout and bedding very nice and comfy and clean. After long day of traveling, needed a shower. There were hairs in the bathtub that started floating when water was on, then when I looked up, a huge mass of long, black hair was eye level on shower wall. Got out and took a picture to show front desk. Also told her they never left bed linens for pullout bed in living room. She had me send her the photo and that’s the last contact I had. Grounds are very nice and clean, pool was great, hot tub is huge. Good location out of the congestion of Phoenix.
Fun place.
Nice area, room as expected
Enjoyed our time there. Very quiet and relaxing; will return.
Our unit was very quiet and just what we were looking for. The pool was perfect on such a hot week! Having the food and drinks available by the pool was also awesome. We have already recommended it to friends and family!
Front desk folks were awesome. The only challenging part is you wanted access to the pool and to receive your parking pass it required you to speak to the time share folks. Madison was awesome but her supervisor was a challenge. She interrupted our conversation and once she knew that I was not interested she was extremely dismissive to me. Madison was awesome but her supervisor has some leadership challenges.
We had an amazing weekend at Cibola Vista! The pool is huge and has plenty of chairs and umbrellas for relaxing. The room was clean and the kitchen had plenty of utensils for cooking. The bed was very comfortable and the pullout sofa was perfect for my kids. We would definitely stay again!
The property was as it looked in pics & described! The place was very clean except for the sheets & comforter for the pull out couch had a stain on them. The pool was really nice & not very crowded. There was Ping pong, Corn hole, & basketball! Plenty of things to do! Place was close to grocery store & restaurants. Would definitely recommend. ??
