We are pleased to offer you this additional information about the historic Rex Ranch Resort & Spa. Our family-style hospitality offers personalized service to guests from around the world who appreciate natural environments. We offer an experience of refreshing, unlimited natural surroundings in the historically rich Santa Cruz Valley of Southern Arizona—the perfect stop before heading into San Carlos, Mexico and other points.
 Native tribes and wilderness areas, mountain lions, jaguars, javalina, deer and great varieties of birds share this blend of geography. We have on staff a Birdwatching & Natural History Guide, and Madera Canyon and Buenes Aires Wildlife Preserve are two of the many interesting places that are minutes away.

Our elegant hacienda-style estate offers a Jr. Olympic size pool (unheated) and outdoor hot tub, volleyball court, fire pit, game room with ping-pong and card tables, horseback riding, guided walks, mountain bike rentals, many fountains, as well as a bountiful rose and cactus garden.
