I am a local, but had not visited the resort in many years. My lifelong best friend came over from London to receive a distinguished alumni award from UNM, with the event held in the hotel. I decided to book us a room for the night. We had an absolutely lovely time! The room was gorgeous and we had a great view. Our lunch after check out was delicious, and they were able to accommodate my friend’s allergies. Afterwards we went to the original Bien Mur, where my friend purchased a Zia symbol necklace to intrigue her London friends. I snagged a beautiful necklace and barrette. I highly recommend for a “staycation” or just a visit to eat and soak up the atmosphere. I may even come back to try the spa!

    “We recently visited for a birthday celebration, and the experience was absolutely world-class from start to finish. The tone was set the moment we arrived by Davia, the Front Office Manager. His check-in process was seamless, but more importantly, his warm energy made us feel like honored guests rather than just another reservation. He went above and beyond to ensure our room was perfect and that we felt welcomed right away. A massive thank you also goes to Tracy, our concierge. Tracy is a true miracle worker! She handled all the coordination for the birthday festivities with such precision and care. Whether it was the little details or the big surprises, Tracy ensured everything went off without a hitch. If you are looking for a place that combines luxury with a personal touch, this is it. We can’t wait to come back!”

  • Nice resort, but...

    “Stayed there for a charity event that was held at the hotel. The rooms are nice, but quite overpriced. But for the location of the event, probably would have chosen to stay somewhere else. Despite the 80 degree temperatures, the pool was closed. Not sure why everything closed so early at a casino - the bar off the lobby closed at 9:15pm and the restaurants at 10pm. Would not recommend the appetizers at the restaurant - we were pretty sure the overpriced taquitos came from the freezer section at Costco, but we can definitely say they were not made on site. Overall our stay was fine, just not worth the expense.”

    “We stayed at the Sandia Hotel. We were helped by Angelo who works the Bell by the hotel entrance. He is excellent at his job. He greets you with a smile and is friendly and helpful. He shows confidence in his work and he knows the city. He is an excellent employee of Sandia hotel. I will stay at the hotel again because of him and his friendly altitude.”

  • Treated like family

    “Sandia is the best casinos in the Albuquerque area. The rooms at the hotel are always very clean and plenty of room for my mobility scooter. It takes only minutes to check in compared to other casinos in the area. The best thing is the security getting to the rooms. Feel very safe. The rooms are a little high but if you get a player's card the discounts are great. I am 82 years old and they make me feel wanted. Great place.”

    “My wife and I stayed a night on our way to Colorado. We’ve been to many casinos but this one was the cleanest and had many slots to choose from. It was busy but not crowded. The rooms were spotless and the staff was very friendly. We even stayed another night on our way back from Colorado haha. Only knock is that the rooms are a little pricey.”
