The hotel has received positive critical reception. Reviewers have praised it for having a serene aesthetic, sense of exclusivity, and perceived connection to nature.[15]
Romy Oltusky, writing for Harper's Bazaar, described it as "a surreal combination of extreme luxury and rugged wilderness, nestled in 600 acres of basically untouched Southwestern desert mountains (for people who want the Wild experience but with 1000-thread count)."
