The Backyard at Green Valley Ranch

July 04, 2019 — Staff Writer

An off-off-Strip choice in Henderson, the Green Valley Ranch is a Mediterranean-inspired luxury resort. Offering an 8-acre pool area which is something to behold, it includes some great features and wonderful landscaping that help set it apart from the pack. The sand-bottom pool is a hit with just about everyone, and does give the feel of a real beach in case you couldn’t make it to your tropical destination.

Adults can enjoy the Pond, a private space with a questionable name. It comes complete with a waterfall, and is a general center of activity. You can always find people here, or keep to yourself in a more private corner.

Given the size of the pool area, crowding is never an issue, making it the perfect choice for those hoping to unwind.

Families

Honestly, the Green Valley Ranch is not the main choice for families, but is not a bad choice. Great prices make it a reasonable hotel and resort for the level of quality and accommodation, but there is not much to recommend it over others.

It is a better pick for parties, couples, and singles.

Don’t think servers will cater to you here. Arrange for drinks or food in advance, or go up to the bar. You will have a bit of a wait, so factor that in your plans.
