As many of you might know, I spent a few summers in college working on a ranch in Arizona. I developed an affinity—more accurately, an obsession—for the Southwest and am forever dreaming about going back there and taking SVV, a novice to the area.
At the close of each summer, a few of us worker bees would take the kids on a camping excursion called Caravan. During those few weeks, we’d cover most of Northern Arizona and Southern Utah and occasionally venture into Colorado and New Mexico if that particular summer wasn’t plagued by fires. Sadly, I only ever made it to the Four Corners area of New Mexico, so ever since then, Albuquerque, Santa Fe and Taos have been high on my list of domestic vacation spots. (Unfortunately, I’ve yet to find affordable airfare from San Francisco to there!)
Enter: the Hyatt Blogger Ambassador program. My lovely friends at Hyatt are back with another fantastic giveaway for one of my readers. This particular giveaway pertains to the Hyatt Resorts, so I thought it fitting to highlight the resort I would visit were I to win such a contest: the Hyatt Regency Tamaya Resort & Spa. The general manager dropped by to answer some questions about the property:
Why is fall a great time of year to visit New Mexico?
With the changing of seasons comes the celebration of Chile Harvest in New Mexico. Not only can guests enjoy the beautiful fall foliage and décor around the Hyatt Regency Tamaya, they can also take part in one of New Mexico’s largest traditions: Chile Harvest. The Hyatt celebrates Chile Harvest with multiple activities for guests including:
- “Chile Chat” courses designed by our executive chef to teach guests how to better appreciate and cook with chile
- Tours of the famous El Pinto Chile Factory with chile roasting and cooking demonstrations
- Tours of the Tamaya Corn Mill located at the Santa Ana Pueblo’s Cooking Post
- Chile pre-fixe menu at the Corn Maiden restaurant that infuses local red and green chile into every course
- Signature “Ancient Drumming” treatment at the Tamaya Mist Spa that includes use of anatural, chile-infused mud masque
- Limited Edition Red Chile Martini featured at the resort’s Rio Grande Lounge
In addition, the area surrounding the Hyatt Regency Tamaya provides an ideal setting for enjoying the beauty of the fall foliage and natural scenery. The resort offers “Fall Foliage” hayrides and nature walks through the cottonwood Bosque. With the convenient location on the Santa Ana Pueblo, between Santa Fe and Albuquerque, guests are also only a short trip away from fall events taking place in Old Town Albuquerque.
What are some of the major draws of your pocket of the Southwest in particular?
The resort has spectacular views of the Sandia Mountains and Rio Grande River and overlooks the “Bosque,” the native cottonwood forest indigenous to the region. The climate in this part of New Mexico is very mild and offers ideal weather conditions to enjoy the exciting outdoor activities available on-property virtually year-round. Additionally, this particular region is rich with culture and visitor activities that celebrate authentic Native American traditions, providing a memorable experience with every visit.
In your opinion, what are some of the best activities on and off the property that hotel-goers can enjoy?
From playing golf at the nationally-ranked Twin Warriors Golf Club to receiving a signature spa treatment at the award-winning Tamaya Mist Spa & Salon, there are many great activities for guests to experience at the Hyatt Regency Tamaya. The resort also offers many unique experiences including hot air balloon rides, rodeo training and guided horseback riding along the Rio Grande.
Perhaps one of the most praised offerings is the resort’s Srai-Wri (meaning “to gather children together and share with them” in the Santa Ana Pueblo’s native language) program, which offers something for the entire family like traditional pueblo bread baking classes, pottery making classes, yoga, golf, and storytelling under the stars.
What are some of the things that set the Hyatt Regency Tamaya apart from other properties in the area?
Located on more than 500 acres of a Native American Reservation, the Hyatt Regency Tamaya is one of the largest resorts built on Native American land. Designed with traditional pueblo-style architecture, the resort offers an experience rich with history and culture married with modern and award-winning resort amenities. The resort also has a Tamaya Culture Museum and Learning Center whichis dedicated to the history, culture, and art of the Santa Ana Pueblo.

And, you’re in my favorites folder in G.Reader!
I would love to stay at the Hyatt in Montreal!!! It looks absolutely stunning!
I would go to NYC. I live in Upstate NY, now, and it would be easy to get down to the city. But I’m also so incredibly broke I can’t afford the hotel.
I also liked you on facebook!
I am taking my first trip to the southwest in December and I can’t wait! It would also be great to have a free hotel!
I would use it when visiting San Francisco this spring! I’ve also liked your facebook!
Oh! And I want to go somewhere where I can get a tan!
Australia for my honeymoon, especially after reading your posts on the area.
If all goes well and I go to South Korea to teach in February, it sure would be nice to go a few days early and stay at the Grand Hyatt Seoul!
I’ve now liked your Facebook page.
what a GREAT giveaway! I would definitely use those three nights for staying at the park hyatt in Tokyo! my sister will be in Japan for 6 months, and that would be great to have three nights free there to visit her!
I already subscribe to your feed on my Google Reader and follow your Twitter.
Just reblogged on tumblr, too.

Thanks for the chance to win!

I would love to stay in style at Beaver Creek! It would definitely be a step up from my typical ski trip.

Just ‘liked your FB page.
Have added your RSS feed to my reader too!

“Liked” you on facebook as well! Yay! (@StephanieStratz)
Yay for giveaways! I want to go to the Maldives! Because it’s cold and dark here in Stavanger!
I would love to use the free stay to visit somewhere in the mountains this winter. December 5 definitely just opened up on my winter schedule (I’m a Bama fan and have no reason to be at the SEC Championship anymore haha) so I’d love to get away. Realistically, though, I’d probably use it to attend whatever bowl game we end up going to
I just went and “liked” you on Facebook!
Also followed you on Twitter!
Would love to go out west….Arizona would be fantastic, but we have some friends we need to visit in Colorado so that might be the stop. Just to have the opportunity for a vacation would be wonderful!
Tweeted about the contest!
I also reblogged your post on Tumblr!
Ahh Kristen this is such a great contest!!!! I would LOVE to win. Tom and I can’t really afford vacations right now (other than the imposed ones we HAVE to pay for such as one over new years eve in Santa Barbara), but I would love to win three nights in Nashville! My brother’s college graduation is in May (just a few days before my grad school graduation, talk about a crazy weekend), and with all the family going in I’m not sure Tom and I will be able to crash on couches and the like (nor do we really want to….). Getting to stay at a Hyatt while we are there (I think the airport one is closest to downtown and actually in the city) would be pretty much a dream come true…. less stress on my family, less stress (emotional and financial) on us! I hope I win!!!
Also, I liked the page, and I’ll reblog from Tumblr as well. I WANT TO WIN.
Aaaaand finally, I added you to my Google Reader! Whew!

I would take my family to NYC for a long weekend and a little city exploring. This might be the best contest ever on a blog! Thanks Kris!

I would go to Beaver Creek! (and you are added to my Google Reader)

my husband and i have been talking about going back to texas since we moved from austin to seattle nearly 5 years ago. we miss our favorite 24-hour mexican place — chacho’s — in san antonio. would love to spend a long weekend there (for our 4 year wedding anniversary perhaps?) and eat some tasty tex-mex and bbq we can’t get in the pacific northwest!

I “liked” you on Facebook.
And I am now following you on Twitter.
I think I would use it to go to New York. I somehow have never been and am DYING to go. This would definitely help with travel costs!!
Oh wow! I would loooooooove to actually stay at the Hyatt in Lahaina on Maui. We visited some friends there last year, and the kids had the most amazing time at the pool. Oh man — now all I’m going to do all day is daydream about Maui! Aloha!
We also spent our Honeymoon at the Hyatt on Kauii, so that’s in the running too!
I’ve started following you on twitter! (ktkrames7)
I’ve added this blog to my google reader! woot woot!
AND I just reblogged on tumblr! (paisleypear)
I’ve never been to California and would love to visit San Diego, San Fran or L.A. I’ve also heard great things about Portland (OR) and Austic (TX) and would love to visit those cities. I’m also thinking of running a marathon and would love to run Chicago’s next fall. Eeek! SO many choices!
I would use it to go to the Park Hyatt Aviara Resort. I’ve been a lot of places, but never California and I’d love to learn how to surf (on my bucket list) and explore the San Diego area (aka eat tacos).
I would love to stay at one of the New York properties! I’m planning to visit there with family next summer so this would be very helpful!
Retweeted your entry! http://www.twitter.com/briel79
What if we already have you on our google reader and are following on Twitter? Do those count for entries?
I would love to finally see Chicago, so that would be my choice
Twitter is down. Boo. But I did like you on FB! I don’t see your subscribe icon. Am I missing it? Awesome giveaway!
I think I would take your advice and visit Hyatt Regency Tamaya. Colleen
Wow! I’ve always wanted to visit New Mexico, but the possibilities are endless, aren’t they?
The Hyatt Regency Tamaya sounds wonderful!!
San Francisco is always great, or Monterey, or San Diego!
now following you on twitter! And anywhere in beautiful California would be great.
I live in Santa Fe, so I’d prefer not to go to the lovely Tamaya. I’d love to go to NYC!
Just when the colorful Kansas autumn gives way to the flat, cold, brown, and dreary midwest winter I ramp up my travel day dreaming. In my dreams? The Hyatt Regency Curaco Golf Resort, Spa, and Marina today. Unbelievable!
New facebook fan here!
I’d love to go to Beaver Creek. (Follow you on twitter and blog is in my reader)
Buenos Aires baby!!! I love that you created a FB page, just liked you on there! Gonna tweet this right now.
I’d love to go to NYC!
I love the southwest too! Southern Utah is one of my most favorite places in the country! On cross-country trip #2 (the solo one), I spent several days there as well as time at the Grand Canyon and in Santa Fe and Taos. All very awesome!
If I won free nights at the Hyatt I think I’d use those airline miles I have been stockpiling (because I can’t afford to pay for a hotel room, I am a pathetic poor student!) to go to Charleston and Savannah. Which would make South Carolina and Georgia states #46 and #47!
Oh – and you are (of course) on my google reader feed!
New York, Boston, and, of course, San Fran are all on my list! =)
I’m a Facebook fan now!

Wow! Look at all these comments! Go, lady, go!!
I live in Tucson and I love my life. The southwest is an incredible place, full of passion and spirit. Last night, in fact, I went to the All Souls Procession for Dia de los Muertos.. one of the biggest in the nation and it was amazing!
But, for my boyfriend’s birthday next month I would love to take him to Mexico. Close, gorgeous, and perfect!
Thanks!!!
My doctor just told me I’m Vitamin D deficient. I live in New York, and some time in the desert might help my condition!!

I’d pick Hyatt in Vancouver, BC – I love that town!

And on my RSS feed on gmail.
Oh, and I’d either use it to go visit my friend in DC or for a trip to Madrid next year.
I visited the SW a few years back and absolutely fell in love. There is a different type of beauty that exists in that part of the country. It’s incredibly understated and hits you suddenly.
Sedona, AZ was also the first place I went skydivingl, which was quite possibly the best experience of my life.
I love, love, love New Mexico! My husband lived in Santa Fe for a few years in the 90s and when he took me back with him for a visit he proposed on the mountain at sunset, it was absolutely perfect.
I would love to go to the Hyatt Tamaya!
I follow your blog already in google reader, does that still count?

I think I would have to head to SF, over a full moon, with my camera and hopes of clear skies… Otherwise, it may have to be to Maui (with the full moon and camera). Such hard decisions in the fantasy that is my mind.
Cheers,

Where would I like to go… Hmm, the list is actually endless, but Josh and I have never been out west, so New Mexico would be just fine with me!

Easiest contest ever, I already had you in my RSS but did not know you also finally succumbed to a FB page.
I’d love to use the points for Vancouver as I’ve finally decided to go to TBEX.

I would stay at one of the Hyatt hotels in Seattle! I lived in a duplex for a year and a half next to an amazing family. The parents and 3 teenagers spent six years living in an RV and traveling around the US together, then settled Austin, where we lived next to each other. I became extremely close with them–they were like my family away from home. They are total artsy free spirits. Then a few months ago, they moved to Seattle. I am DYING to visit them, and I saw that Hyatt has several hotels in Seattle!
Definitely would like to stay at the Tamaya Resort. I’ve seen it (Gorgeous!) but never stayed there. It looks SOOO relaxing. And I’ll be liking your Facebook Page, too. And even though its the last possible minute, I’ll tweet your contest on twitter. (already follow you on Twitter and RSS.)
Congratulations on being one of the top ten travel writers at Tribase.com!!!
