Be cautious booking this resort. It is not a relaxing spa resort as advertised. The courtyard and pool are overrun by people partying and drinking until late hours not respecting quiet hours. Be prepared for screaming and drunk behavior with loud music blasting from personal speakers. The courtyard was trashed every morning with empty glasses, partially eaten food. It felt like being at a campground not a 4 star resort. The staff was nice but don’t address any of this unless you explicitly complain.
The only thing redeeming is that the spa while small and underwhelming did provide a nice service.

We really enjoyed our stay. The staff is extremely nice and helpful and the pool was great. My only complaint was that we had a waterfall show inside our room waking all of us up in the middle of the night. The ac filter on the ceiling was heavily leaking and a bunch of water came down wetting some of our belongings. It was just an unfortunate experience in the middle of the night and nothing was really done when I called it in. But other than that. The overall stay was pretty good.

For the price, I was expecting more. The hall way to our room had an old hotel smell. I paid extra for the creek view but couldn’t enjoy outside because bugs kept falling on us from the tree above, an outdoor umbrella would have been nice. There wasn’t a microwave in the room, they offered to bring us one but there wasn’t anywhere to put it. They told us valet was included but we were charged when we checked out.

We had an amazing stay at Amara Resort & Spa for our anniversary! From the moment we checked in, the staff made us feel incredibly welcome. We were pleasantly surprised to receive chocolate-covered strawberries and a bottle of champagne delivered to our room upon checking, which was such a thoughtful gesture and made our celebration feel even more special.

The resort is in a fantastic location—walking distance to Sedona’s shops and restaurants while still feeling peaceful and secluded. The grounds are beautiful, and the views surrounding the property are stunning.

Our room was clean, comfortable, and well-appointed, providing the perfect place to relax after spending our days exploring Sedona. Every staff member we encountered was friendly, professional, and genuinely hospitable.
Thank you to everyone at Amara Resort & Spa for making our anniversary getaway so memorable. We would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a relaxing and beautiful place to stay in Sedona.

The grounds are nice but it's not easy to get around I was on the second floor so there were lots of stairs even if you take the elevator. The charging port by the bed did not work. The first time I used the shower the water would not turn off so I had to call me maintenance. He did not speak English but I was able to watch him It took him several tries to get the water to shut off. The next day when I took a shower I could not get water to come out of the overhead shower only the handheld. Also the water is very hard which made for a bad hair day. I would expect a hotel of this caliber to have soft water. I think the most frustrating part was the lights are on timers so every time I took a shower or use the bathroom the lights would turn off and I would be in the dark unless I could wave my arms around close enough. My refrigerator was also not working. They sent a housekeeper instead of maintenance initially she did not speak English and I tried to explain to her that the refrigerator was not cold. Finally I went downstairs and let them know the refrigerator was not working and had several items that needed to be refrigerated. They were great and maintenance replaced the refrigerator. The staff could not have been more helpful and professional. I just expected more considering how much they charge for a room!

Everything was outstanding EXCEPT the false advertising. The one item we really looked for when planning our stay was a hotel that offered bikes. They tout it on their website, but upon arriving found they \"have bikes but not really in working order\". Don't advertise what you don't have - creating a false expectation overshadowed all the good.

Overall a very good option in Sedona. A great central location. The property is older and some areas show it more than others. For the high nightly rates, I would expect some areas of this property to look and feel
More elevated. This includes the interior hallways (very cheap looking), pool area (was ok), restaurant appearance inside also just ok. The room was fine overall, and clean. Again, it’s a decent hotel to stay at but expected more for what was paid (roughly $750/ night)

This was a couple getaway. I thought the SPA was bigger than what is was. The hours 9 to 5 pm are limited with the sauna closing at 5 PM. Restaurants offered good food and service. There were a lot of children, so there was a lot of activity with a younger generation, but nothing that was negative. ON one day musci was turned on loud during an early Sunday morning. Calls were made to front desk and it was addressed.

Our stay was alright. We stayed only for three nights and the beds were comfortable and clean. The rooms were a good size for the four of us. I have nothing poor to say about the state of the rooms or the cleanliness of the room. It was very nice. We all slept well. The bathroom doors are really heavy and loud so if anyone used the bathroom in the middle of the night, it would wake people up. The walls to the bathroom are also paper thin so whatever happened in the bathroom, people in the room heard EVERYTHING. Pee, farts, poos... which can be quite uncomfortable. I did like the convenience of the golf cart transport and the car valet service. The staff members were very smily and nice. We have no qualms with them. Two of my friends did a spa package and they both said they really enjoyed their time. I did find the 35 dollar a day resort fee to be excessive and that was on top of the tax everyday so we were looking at an additional 135 dollar fee on top of what we already spent. The view of the red rocks were obscured by large unkept trees so it wasn't as nice as advertised. I did enjoy the view overlooking the river from the infinity pool. I just felt like the views would've been nicer had the trees been better kept. The pool water was warm and somewhat clean, but the jacuzzi was quite dirty. The filter was not emptied so every time the jacuzzi jets stopped, bugs, leaves and other garbage came rushing out the filter and it was just gross.

Blown away by the staff, especially the valets. They went above and beyond for us, especially since we had been given a Tesla by our rental company, so charging was a major concern. They have a slow charger on site and made sure to have our car fully charged and easily accessible every morning. Would recommend and stay when we visit again!

I recently stayed at this Sedona resort and spa, and overall it felt like a desert oasis with a few quirks tucked into its sandstone seams.

First, the room: spacious, comfortable, and easy to spread out in after a day of hiking and pretending to be outdoorsy. Plenty of room to flop dramatically onto the bed and contemplate life. However, for the average nightly price, the view was… let’s call it “modestly uninspiring.” In a place like Sedona, where the scenery is basically a celebrity, this felt like getting backstage passes but facing the wrong direction.

Now, the staff? Absolute sunshine. Friendly, attentive, and always ready to help without hovering like overly concerned hummingbirds. Every interaction felt genuine, which goes a long way when you’re away from home.

Food-wise, room service delivered exactly what you want after a long day: reliable, tasty, and conveniently appearing like magic at your door. The on-site restaurant was solid, not mind-blowing, but dependable enough that you won’t feel the urge to dramatically abandon your table mid-meal.

The gym, however, is more “cozy corner” than “fitness haven.” It gets the job done if your workout expectations are modest, but “state-of-the-art” is definitely on vacation somewhere else.

One standout perk: the golf cart taxi service. It’s surprisingly delightful to be whisked around like resort royalty, especially when you’re trying to avoid turning a relaxing getaway into a cardio session.

The hotel is located just downhill from the main tourist business strip. The rooms are nice, big and clean. Restaurant was pretty good though they’d only seat us at the bar even though there were empty tables through our whole meal. The main courtyard is pretty with very nice views. Walls in the rooms are thin though so you’ll hear your neighbors. There were kids running around in the room above us and sounded like they would come through the ceiling. Also a lot of kids playing in the courtyard so they slammed into my chair and hit me with a cornhole beanbag. Probably a better choice for families but if you’re an adults-only group or couple looking for a relaxing getaway maybe look elsewhere. It seemed overpriced for what it was.
