This is absolutely not a 5 Star Resort. I'm trying to really hold back the expletives and bad language because this place was beyond trash. I would not rate this a 2 star hotel. It's not even a hotel. Whoever rated this resort is a liar and should be barred from ever rating anything unless they're as filty and disgusting and a big fat liar.

Our overall stay was good! Plan to hike around a bit to the pools depending on where you’re staying certainly got our steps in:) rides are available in the golf carts with friendly helpful drivers! When busy the main pool gets quite crewed and not enough lounge chairs so get there early! Food was decent maybe a little over priced but to be expected at a resort! Only downfall is… when booking they said there was pickelball courts that you can play on but….. they didn’t tell you at check in or online that it’s.. members only … guests at resort have to pay $50 per 90min session! Kinda disappointing since they were nice courts and mostly not used we did find nearby courts at Ashler hills park that were free to play at! Room were clean and cared for each day! Sliding bathroom doors could be greased so they slide nicer and quieter definitely don’t give ya much privacy while using the toilet either😳 We did leave a couple days early since we wanted a little more space than our studio room provided and remembered that we enjoyed a more private experience! Overall good and great place to stay!

Lovely resort in terms of location, facilities, and very relaxed atmosphere.
For a resort with the reputation of The Boulders, I would have expected the service to be better and more consistent. While we met some truly excellent people, there were a number who were just doing a good job and lacked a bit of energy and desire to go the extra mile.
The room also needed a little love, with a few dings in the door, chipped paint work etc.
Overall, we would definitely come back, but probably only if we got a great deal vs the c£670 per night we paid, including breakfast.

Wonderful “Prickly Pear” resort. Beautiful casitas with fireplace and balcony. The grounds were amazing to walk along the Nature Trails in the mornings and although I do not play golf…the greens were worth photographing. The staff and the golf carts were amazing….food at 2 of their restaurants were excellent. Pool was clean and great view with the boulders and waterfall. Our stay was exceptional!

The property was really nice. Last time we stayed there we had a great room on the ground floor with a patio. Paid quite a bit less at the same basic weekend. This time we were placed on the second floor with a view into a tree at the very furthest room on the property. In addition, had to ask to get coffee for the room. A few times called the front desk and got no answer. On the good side went to 3 of the restaurants and the service and food were great. I would have thought for more than 700.00 per night the room would have been outstanding.

Very beautiful property that needs some staff training and some love for the food & beverage options.
- Upon arrival, it would be great for the valets to park your car instead of adding one more step to check-in that you have to self-park and meet the valet's golf cart with your luggage. PHX airport is a haul, and after schlepping our luggage through there, it just would have been nice to have one less step that was avoidable.
- We had a painful almost 6 hour golf round that no one mentioned you had zero access to the clubhouse until we were on our way to the tee. You cannot have that design and not tell players when they check in to grab some food and beverage. The starters thanked us many times for our patience with the slow groups in front of us, but honestly, we were sooo hungry by the end of it, it sucked.
- Food & beverage at the resort just needs to be leveled up . There is coffee in the lobby (no tea) which is about the equivalent of a Best Western, but there is a gorgeous espresso machine in the bar right next to it that they don't offer any morning drinks from. The place needs a coffee/tea shop. Every meal we had something major missing. One breakfast, missing a bagel from the smoked salmon bagel. One room service, no silverware/butter/salt or pepper. Its so close, but there is no QA on anything, and unfortunately, it affected us multiple times.
- Marcella at the pool was great! She handled a large crowd well and offered great service.

This is one of the most beautiful, peaceful resorts I’ve ever stayed in. The spa is so serene. Staff are so helpful & as soon as you call one of the bellmen they are right there!! Our room was spacious & nice.
My only complain was they didn’t really have any good coffee at the resort (I like my good coffee) so I had to get up every morning & go down the road to get it. Also, the 24 hour pool wasn’t lit up very well & I fell down the steps going to the hot tub early in the morning & broke my foot. Kind of ruined the rest of my hiking trip. 😕 So might want to light up the steps a little better!!
Overall I loved our stay and will definitely return if in the area.

Resort was beautiful. Our casita was perfect with spectacular views of nature and the golf course. Rooms were well kept and clean. Room service was spot on and attentive to our requests. The front desk was professional and answered all questions and were prompt to assist with questions even after our check out. Some of the wait staff and bell hop staff were less than positive but overall we recommend this stay.

We arrived in the evening in the dark due to flight delays. The road and signs are so dark we had an extremely hard time finding the lodge even after returning to the main entrance to get better directions. Everything else about the facility was wonderful but would greatly benefit from some lighted signs with more direction or maybe send a bell to the entrance to guide arrivals in the dark.

Overall: Nice location.

Highlights: the wildlife and a spectacular desert thunderstorm.

Lowlights: too many to enumerate. The biggest issue was the attitude of the staff. Specifically the front desk. The hotel guest concept seemed to inconvenience to them.

Me: Which of your villas have a pool? Them: ”Do you know how many villas we have here lady?! Over 65. I don’t have time to look up what has what. All the villas are the same, you’ll enjoy it. It’s nice here”, muttered a grumpy older-sounding man over the phone.

WOW! All the same or some have pools? And why so grumpy Archie Bunker?

He was not the only grumpy or sarcastic or outright hostile employee. I think they are experiencing some sort of toxic staff issue. The bad attitudes were pervasive. A few of the porters were pleasant though, especially the one who knew the hangout spots of the owls and cute desert animals and took us on the scenic route in the golf cart whether we wanted it or not. At least he tried to be friendly whereas the others were just inhospitable. I was apprehensive to ask for anything. We moved from a drab room in the hinterland with no sofa and non-streaming tv to a villa and just bought our own food to cook to avoid interactions with the hotel staff. Cleaning crew were awesome!

Dining room at the golf club smelled like a live sewer. The staff were nose-blind. She said they had been having ongoing plumbing problems for months. We couldn’t eat w/poop smell, in 90 degree heat. We left, sad.

The room when we first arrived had some maintenance items, a bucket, spackle tool, an outlet cover off, a maintenance fan blowing on the wall and a strong odor of fresh paint or spackle. Called the front desk (Parker) and someone was there to remove in 5 minutes. Aside from that incident the room was clean. The resort is very nice, wish there were a couple more food options as the resort is quite remote. The golf course staff was very nice and helpful which in most cases is rare. Most golf course staff is rude and unfriendly. We had a great time and a lovely stay, the only reason for not 5 stars was the incident at the beginning.

For a 5 star resort, it was lacking. There was mold in the shower, and missing stones in the shower wall. We did not have heat in our room for first 24 hours. Paying $40 to use the golf practice facilities after already paying $500 a night is ridiculous.

The rocks on the shower walls were falling off. You needed a pipe wrench to turn on cold water at bathroom vanity. Only way to open the pocket door was via a strap hooked up to my truck. The tv didn’t work morning one. We woke up at 4 in the morning to the room at 85 degrees due to a ridiculous schedule on thermostat that was nearly impossible to change. The bathroom at the 8th hole on the golf course was cleaner than our room. Spider webs between window covering and sliding glass door. We had to hire the hulk to open our sliding glass door to balcony because we simply were not strong enough as mid 30s men.

The property is gorgeous! The room was spacious. Some of the staff are not friendly- not warm at r inviting. The vibe in Scottsdale is generally not friendly to outsiders all around. We felt judged and dismissed. Apparently it is the off season to visit so rooms are cheaper which then I assume brings in lower class clientele that the staff and also other people staying there make judgment of. We felt uncomfortable and unwelcome. Visiting restaurants and shops in the surrounding area also had a “we don’t want your kind” around here attitude. I’ve never been to Scottsdale so this was a new experience for me. We are from the Midwest so maybe it’s a cultural thing. We went to Sedona where it was explained to us that the people in Scottsdale are very materialistic- so I guess that explains things… Anyway- the resort is gorgeous and somewhat high end and the breakfast was amazing every morning. The room was nice and comfortable. Just not the vibe we were going for but def will be visiting Sedona again!

The property is beautiful. The room was very nice and the bed was amazing. My only complaint is that you can’t park by your room. You have to park in a different parking area and rely on the shuttle from the property people which to me was an inconvenience. Also, all surrounding areas are very dark when you walk around the pool area isn’t very appealing and it’s very dark.
