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.

Verified traveller

Disliked: Staff & service
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.
