Zion Ponderosa Ranch Resort has amazingly friendly staff, delicious food, and tons of activities to keep you busy. Just keep in mind that everything closes down at 10 PM, so it can be tough if you're arriving late. Highly recommended overall!

The Ponderosa was a great place to stay, very convenient for my hiking trip. It could use some updating and a little more attention to detail on the cleanliness of the bathroom. Great breakfast and dinners for before and after a long day of hiking. But overall a great experience. I love the many options of (rooms).

Very quiet and beautiful setting. Our family liked that there was so much to do right there on the property, it kept the kids busy when we weren't in the park! The family was able to bounce from the mini-golf to the pool to the kayaks all within a short walk. Enjoyed our stay!

Definitely not what I was expecting. Loud nighttime parties, lots of screaming kids running around, and most of the amenities were well worn. This is a resort where parents go to party while kids run amuck despite ‘quiet’ hours. The cabins are in terrible condition, the shower barely worked and about half the lights were burnt out. The good is the staff- very friendly and helpful. It’s unfortunate the property is so run down. The pool, mini golf, fire pits all sounded like fun. We only stayed one night and left asap in the morning.

The resort is in a beautiful location and upon arrival looks amazing. However, the resort is run down. Common areas, including pool, showers, bathrooms were in poor condition and dirty. Needs serious upgrading/upkeeping. In our first unit (Cowboy Cabin), the lights didn't work and heater was so old. The second unit, a Tiny House, was very nice and spacious. However, the room had many issues (LED lights in bedrooms didn't work [likely remote batteries were dead] Heat/AC unit didn't work, no water pressure in kitchen, dirty showers, soap/shampoo/conditioners empty, no dishtowels to dry dishes). They cater to families, but it's extra money to play on the little miniature golf course. We ate at the restaurant 3 times and it was quality meal. The staff was very friendly, but the Front Desk are not very helpful when it comes to Zion National Park. The Adventure company that is onsite was very helpful and we book 2 excursions through them. Overall, nice place, but needs some capital improvements and upkeep.

We had a wonderful stay. I do have to say that we didn’t read the part that said the cabins didn’t have A/C, lol. It was definitely an adjustment and there was a fan, so we took advantage of the pool and cold showers. The best part was not only the pool, but allllll the other things you can do here. My children are bigger, but I would come back again with my grandchildren. You will not get bored here!
