Reviews
Don’t expect this place to be a good as previous reviews (a lot of bots) make it out to be.
Beds are average at best. Heating in room is very loud so bring ear plugs and even still you will struggle. Shower power is pitiful and also takes a few minutes to heat up so set your alarm early. Speaking of which, the alarm clock time was wrong in my room.
The cleaning staff in my room didn’t take away dirty cups which was a bit odd I thought.
The food is average at the main restaurant.
The sauna in the spa is a joke at 155 degrees Fahrenheit (
The Tenaya Lodge was a very comfortable and convenient place to stay for our quick visit to Yosemite. The Lodge is just minutes away from the southern entrance to Yosemite – less than 10 minutes to get to the majestic Mariposa Sequoia grove. The lodge has lots of extra amenities – several dining options; family adventures; access to a nice nature trail alongside the property; spa and pools, etc! So, no excuses for not finding something you can enjoy! I appreciated having a deli/general store for pick-up snacks and coffee. Every staff member was very friendly and accomodating. I would recommend as a place to stay while visiting Yosemite!
We LOVED our stay at Tenaya Lodge. It is very grand and beautiful and there are three outdoor swimming pools plus an indoor pool. And hot tubs outdoors and indoors too. At the pool area there are also cozy fire pits you can sit around and roast marshmallows for your complimentary S’mores. The food is also delicious at their on-site Jackalope’s bar & restaurant. Great service and kind people. We loved the large, nicely appointed room, except for a problem getting cold water out of our room’s plumbing and low water pressure in the shower/tub. But too many other things we enjoyed about it to let that change our mind. It’s a great place to stay when you’re visiting Yosemite and we’d love to stay there again.
We enjoyed our time at Tenaya. It is about an hour from Yosemite Valley, but the drive in each day is beautiful. We stayed in the cabins and the rooms were nice. We used the golf cart shuttle and it wasn’t a big deal to request each time. The food options are expensive for what they are, but good in comparison to options outside of the resort. We did the breakfast buffet and I wouldn’t do it again if we come back. We did the smores bar every night and the kids loved it!! We also did the guided night hike and found that worth it – we had the best time! Overall a great experience and beautiful lodge.
So happy with my decision to stay here!!! I absolutely loved my stay at Tenaya at Yosemite! The lodge is beautiful, cozy, and feels like the perfect mix of luxury and nature. The rooms were spacious and comfortable, and I had such a relaxing time here. The property itself is gorgeous with so many thoughtful touches, great restaurants, fun amenities, and a peaceful vibe. The location is perfect, just minutes from Yosemite’s south entrance, which made getting into the park super easy. Every staff member I interacted with was warm and welcoming, which made the experience even better.
If you’re planning a trip to Yosemite, I can’t recommend Tenaya enough, it made my visit unforgettable!
