My family and I stayed at this condo for 8 nights and overall I'd rate the stay as good, but definitely not great. The condo is in a great location, is well furnished, and offers numerous amenities. There are a few things, however, that I feel future renters may want to know before reserving this unit.
When we arrived the condo was as advertised and is actually much larger than it looks in the pictures. It has been totally renovated and is really cozy and well-decorated. The pools and restaurants are great and overall the Tamarron Lodge Community is a wonderful place. Our experience here was mostly positive but I felt like we were constantly having to deal with small annoyances. To corroborate what another guest stated in their review, if you are looking for privacy and seclusion, this is not the place to stay. The condo sits in a back corner of Gambel Oak where all of the units are essentially right on top of each other. Everywhere you look you will see people morning, noon, and night. Another issue we had from Day 1 was horrible plumbing. The kitchen sink and the upstairs toilet would back up, and the upstairs tub never drained properly. We had to have maintenance come out twice to address these issues. Also, the upstairs bathroom never stopped smelling of sewer gas which stunk up the entire upstairs at times. We had to leave that bathroom vent fan on and the door closed the entire stay.
Finally, the last issue we had, and probably a deal breaker had I known about it was the adjoining door in the master suite that I didn't seem to notice in any of the pictures. The condo next door (744) that is a second floor unit only, has an adjoining door that stays locked but connects directly to your master suite just like you would see in a hotel. This door is right off your neighbors' front door so you will here everybody coming in and out of their condo and they will hear you in your master bedroom. To make matters worse, your neighbors' unit has a very loud stereo system with deep bass that resonates into your master bedroom through the adjoining door area. As soon as your neighbor turns on their TV you WILL hear whatever they are watching.
Overall, we had a great week and enjoyed visiting the Durango area. This condo had its' issues but I think it is still a good option for most.
