Really enjoyed the opportunity to camp out under the stars without having to drag all of our own stuff along. It is too bad the weather did not cooperate until 4 am. G-Domes are closer together than they appear in the photos, but it was not really that big of a deal. Everyone was mostly quiet and respectful. Bathrooms and a hot shower are only a short walk away. The only downside is if the RVs are running their A/C. Then you hear fans all night.

Beautiful place to see sunset and close proximity to great sand dunes park. Decent grab and go breakfast. Sleds for rent for sand dunes. Bring food and water unless you want to drive 35-40 min away. Convient store on property with limited provisions. Only restaurant was closed for season-not advertised closing when made booking. Lady that checked us in was not overly friendly

Stay at your own risk
I was excited about staying in the geo dome while visiting the sand dunes. However, I guess my expectations were too high. First, we arrived and it was difficult to find the office. I was called earlier that day and told my card was declined (no reason it should have been) then when we arrived at the dome it had an intense smell. I didn’t know what the smell was and called the front desk and was told it was probably plastic. We thought about staying elsewhere but it was already 8pm and we were very tired. We stayed the one night at the geodome, but never again! I couldn’t sleep smelling plastic!!

The bed was really cozy. The deck outside looking at the sand dunes was incredible. The breakfast choices were good. You have to realize that there isn’t a place to eat dinner after 5 PM so stop on the way or bring your own dinner.

Right next to the entrance of Great Sand Dune National Park. If you are OK to stay in 2 star motel, you will be happy with this selection. There is very limited food and restaurant within 15 miles. Be prepare to eat simple or drive 30, minutes for meals

This was the most misleading booking I’ve ever made. I lost $120 and this place is an absolute joke. NO bathroom, NO shower, sleep in a glorified TENT that was 100 degrees and smelled awful! If I wanted that I would have brought my own tent for free. I’d been better off sleeping in my car. I couldn’t even stay here so the $120 was a complete loss. Told the lady at the front I wanted a refund and she was like “yeah I keep telling the owner the listing ticks people off”. Private bathroom my butt. The last night of our vacation was a bust and we have to drive through the night just to get away from this place. By the way the entire area shuts down at 4pm. No food for you after that. Um what? No thank you. Give me a refund.

Location is right outside of the park and the lodge is very quiet and peaceful at night. We could see the stars same clarity as inside the park. Only restaurant next to the lodge closes by 4pm, need to prepare food for night otherwise you will have to commute to next own for dinner

I had a very poor experience at this hotel. The staff was not friendly and didn’t offer much hospitality when I had questions about food options in the area. The front desk staff honestly acted as if they could care less. There were various bugs and crickets coming in under the front door and up the drains each night and the walls were so thin I could hear conversations from the room next door to me. My room was located in front of the ice machine and next to the maids storage. Both of these areas were very noisy. The only thing good to say about this hotel is the location in proximity to the sand dunes and the views, but I would not stay here again for almost $200 a night.

I stayed in one of the geodesic domes, which are behind the main lodge. There are 7 domes that share 3 bathrooms, which are in a different building. You receive a key upon check-in to unlock one of 3 doors to a private bath (sink, toilet, and shower). I was a little worried about having access to a bathroom given all 7 domes were rented during my stay and only 2 of the 3 bathrooms were usable...but never had to wait. The two things the bathrooms need are a mirror and additional wall hooks. Perhaps a mirror in the domes as well. The domes do have a small air conditioner (which I used during the day), along with a heater (which was needed at night when the temps dipped into the 40s). I loved sleeping in the dome...the bed and pillows were comfy. My only complaint was the people arriving later in the evening. I would fall asleep, then be awakened by vehicles approaching (you park next to your dome). Unfortunately for me, the guests in both domes next to mine arrived late, so it was nonstop noise as they parked, unloaded, talked out loud, shut car doors, and locked their car doors (beeps/horn sounds). The domes really should be farther apart OR require all arrivals be before 9 PM. I loved the location of the lodge to Great Sand Dunes National Park. I do photography so staying so close to the park allowed me to take late afternoon/evening and daytime pics (the dunes look different depending on the time of day). I would definitely stay here again! Super friendly staff as well.

Great location with short drive to Great Sand Dunes. Great view! Very quiet. Comfortable room. Easy to rent sand sleds for a day in the park. We drove 25 minutes to Alamosa for dinner.
