Molinillos Mountain Resort — Hotel in Durango

My husband and I celebrated our anniversary September 2, 2020 at the Mountain Resort. No time for the zipline or the horses, which I shall return for. The setting is otherworldly, way up on top of a forested ridge. We stayed in the lodge and the staff was happy to build us a roaring fire in the huge lodge lobby while we ate our room service dinner . The food is great and the staff in the lodge and the restaurant are friendly and attentive. The rooms are clean and spacious but if you are looking for a TV forget it.

The drive from Mazatlan is spectacular. Make sure you have...

The resort is modern, rooms and cabins are well appointed, the restaurant is very good and the service and attention of staff is wonderful. Located in pristine pine forest. This is a secure, safe and wonderful environment. Being a former ski racer I am familiar with US mountains and resorts. Also, I was the manager of a elegant and small hotel in Vail, Colorado, where many celebrities stayed. Molinillos is a rare jewell that my family loves and is on par with the best smaller and intimate...
