Beautiful property, and very few guests given July low season (but loved that!). Pool was fine, nothing impressive but thank you to pool staff for their service. Had a spa treatment so thank you to Michael! And loved that there's an available car service to drive guests to short distance locations (thanks, Mike!).

I liked it stay, room was gorgeous. Views impeccable; staff amazing. Yep things kept me from giving them a 5. 1) aerial yoga class was cancelled and we didn’t know until we showed up. She said there was “no way to contact me” but I gave them my phone number when I signed up and they didn’t even check to see if I was a guest? 2) vegan food options were non existent so we door dashed a couple times. Would have preferred to be able to eat thheor food, at the bar/restaurant.

Pros: Enjoyed our stay at Sanctuary. Beautiful views, accommodating, friendly staff; spacious rooms. Very good food, though pricey.

Cons: Store sells tacky clothes and counterfeit bags, but doesn’t have basic items like t’s with resort logo, sundry items, etc. Spa staff sometimes put out nuts, sometimes didn’t; and didn’t replenish ice. Pool area nice, though couple of pots of fake flowers didn’t exude class. Could’ve also used slow-close toilet seat in room bathroom.

Great stay at the Sanctuary at Camelback. The views are incredible, the property is clean and well kept, and the overall atmosphere is very relaxing. Service was solid and everything felt high-end without being over the top. Definitely a great spot if you’re looking to unwind in the Scottsdale area.

We loved our stay at this resort. It was beautiful, relaxing, quiet, not crowded, and the entire resort was well groomed and cared for. The spa services were exceptional. The best part of this stay was the staff. I don't think I have ever stayed at a resort with a more friendly and accommodating staff. If there is one thing that could be improved, I would suggest more healthy meal options on the bar menu.

My room 624 smelled moldy and made all my clothes smell moldy too. Also, the sink was clogged up most of our stay there. Front desk young lady was nice to me but the rest of my friends thought her facial expressions were rude. I feel like she’s young and might just need some more training in the service industry. That’s something manageable. I got a massage on Saturday but I couldn’t take advantage of the amenities because the quiet room was too cold and the pool was cold too. Service at restaurant were great and the food was fresh and delicious. The valet guys were fabulous! Keep them just as is! They made our trip for sure and were really kind and knowledgeable.

Sanctuary Camelback Mountain Resort & Spa was exactly what I needed. From the moment I arrived, the experience felt calm, intentional, and genuinely welcoming, especially as a solo traveler.

The golf cart drivers deserve special recognition. Every single one was kind, patient, and incredibly helpful. Whether it was getting around the property or bringing my DoorDash, they made the resort feel easy and safe to navigate. Their warmth truly stood out.

The spa was amazing. Peaceful, restorative, and beautifully done. The treatments were unhurried and thoughtful, and the entire environment made it easy to fully relax and disconnect.

The food was excellent. Most importantly, I felt completely safe and comfortable as a solo guest. Sanctuary is quiet, secure, and respectful of personal space. I got much needed rest/sleep and left feeling genuinely renewed.

I would absolutely return.

Good hotel- rooms are on the older side. The spa isn’t coed, no sauna, room refreshments are extra. Drinks and food is expensive. Coming from a different luxury hotel where all of this was included I realize I’d rather pay a little more for the room and not have to wonder if I’m going to be charged for every Diet Coke at the pool at $5 a pop.

Overall this is a 4 star property, they were very accommodating and had great service. The food was delicious and I had the Watsu massage that was the best massage I’ve ever had in my life. The facilities however need some love. Our room had a very strong door that no one could identify. The pool had dirty towels and the tile seemed to be crumbling and moldy. Housekeeping threw away my travel sized hair oil and sunblock. I really wanted to give them a 5 star review but they fell short.

I made reservation for the 17th by mistake and showed up on the 18th. Front desk clerk stated that he could see that but there was nothing he could do about it. I had to pay again for another night at a higher price. Even tough there were plenty of occupancy. Enjoyed the stay but definitely wont be coming back since i had to pay for 2 nights for one stay. Where is the common sense of an honest mistake and customer service. My business is 100% customer service and the front desk clerk didn't even try

When we first arrived we had a roach in our tub. They were able to switch our room. Everything on the resort is very costly. If you aren’t trying to speed money, this resort isn’t for you. A half a pack of M&M $12, waters and everything else in the room cost. The resort is very relaxing and quiet but it is very costly.

A unique exceptional resort in so many ways

Everything was perfect. We loved the beautiful surroundings of Camelback Mountain and our comfy and spacious accommodations. We appreciated having a back porch. Each and every employee in the resort was exceptional - friendly, professional, welcoming and always there with smiles and a good attitude. They have all been trained to the highest level. We ate many meals in the Elements restaurant and drinks in the bar. Every item we ordered was delicious and beautifully prepared. My favorites were the avocado toast, the strawberry/melon gazpacho, the green curry tofu vegetable stew (AMAZING) and the strawberry burrata peach salad. We can't wait to return.

The pool is a negative edge with a view of a rooftop. No music and low key vibe. Everything else was perfect. Just a disappointing pool.

We booked for 3 nights, and didn’t even stay 1 night. Checked in, realized how far apart everything was on the property (summer time the daytime temp was about 41celcius) and even though the resort had golf carts they would be driving around on the property you could potentially get a lift to the pool or spa etc, you would still need to contact them each time to arrange a ride. The room had no balcony so you were essentially trapped in your room. This resort was not for us. We definitely won’t be back. The spa was gorgeous but the massages were extremely expensive and weren’t worth the amount paid.

Drinks at the pool took a very long time to receive, they seemed to be very under staff. The pool waiter seemed to be having a bad day and was rude. Also ran out of hot water trying to take a bath, it ran our before it was half full.

We love how close it is to Camelback and Phoenix. It’s a lovely area, quiet and scenic.
The staff is friendly and accommodating, always willing to be helpful.
And overall we love the resort, but the growth it has undergone over the last 10-15 years has stolen the intimacy it once held.

The property itself blends beautifully with the mountains of Paradise Valley. The room had every amenity and convenience you would ever need. Everything is the highest quality, sheets, towels, robes (super soft). For me, what made the experience really special was the people that work there. Truly a unique and special experience. I’ll absolutely be returning! Special shout out to Charles at Jade Bar who navigated 5 of us with ease and grace!

Very Average

Should be a very nice experience but poor service, nowhere near the 5 star price point, an extremely crowded pool and spa and very average f&b made this a somewhat disappointing stay although location and views are amazing.

For hotel with the price tag x night this one has they room was very disappointing, there was a rug in the room in the leaving area that I wouldn’t even use at my dog’s patio. Furniture outdated, very limited dining options. For sure not a $1k x night worth hotel.

This is considered a pet friendly property - but they would not allow in the beginning our dog in the dining area - only on the patio. But finally the manager made it happen and we always could sit inside since it was either too hot or chilly to sit on the patio.
The maintenance should also replace on a regular schedule batteries for the fire alarm detectors. Ours started beeping in both rooms. But neighbors in close by rooms had the same problems at the same time. In the coming days we heard more beeping around in other parts of property.
There is an in room safe on the top shelf of closet- but it is not bolted to the wall and could have been easily removed

For the price, it was disappointing. The room was fine but nothing special and the floors seemed dirty. The pool was very crowded - you can barely find a chair and some people had to wait. My room wasn’t serviced until extremely late in the afternoon and though they removed the used towels and bath mats, they did not replace them. The spa was very nice but one of the practitioners decided to leave the doors and shades open to the outside during a massage and there was a wedding going on (loud) as well as it was way too light in the room. For the luxury experience (and price) that they claim to have, I would recommend staying somewhere else.
