Very romantic resort. It is very private and peaceful. Golfers will love golf courses (plenty of them and well maintained). Our villa was underneath beautiful boulder with saguero cactai all around. Food was excellent. We had amazing breakfast. I wish we could have stayed more than 1 night. Pool was refreshing and in a great setting. We kept staring at... more

We stayed at the Boulders, in Carefree, Arizona and had a wonderful experience. My husband loved the golfcourse, the kids enjoyed the pool as well as the abundant wildlife they encountered. I got myself pampered at The Golden Door Spa and also took advantage of the great activities they offer complimentory. All my favorites such as Yoga, Pilates and Water... more

I was planning on birthday celebration for my boyfriend and a night at The Boulders. What we ended up with was a room with dead bugs in it and no hot water for the bath or shower. We could get only lukewarm water. When I called to complain I was spoken to quite rudely by the desk attendant. They offered... more

My wife and I stayed at the Boulders the last weekend of August. We live in AZ and wanted a spa weekend getaway. Our experience was very good. The room was a Sonora Casita (room 219). It is on the second floor and had an incredible view of a massive rock formation and the sunset in the distance. The balcony... more

WOW! What a place. My husband and I had the pleasure to spend his birthday and our 10th anniversary at the Boulders and I don't think I can write well enough to explain how fantastic our experience was. The team members were the most consistent and genuine when it came to guest service, they were never off. We were treated... more

the stunning beauty of the Resort grounds and the luxurious accomodations are only one of many reasons to stay at this classy Resort, As a Golfer who plays 70 to 80 rounds per year,i can say without reservation that this is one of the finest ''tracks'' i have ever played. You sometimes get lost in the beauty surrounding the Course... more

We have just completed our second stay at The Boulders Resort in Carefee, Arizona(Scottsdale area). For the second time we were overwhelmed by the fabulous staff, excellent food, beautiful rooms and the grounds of this luxurious resort. It is one of the few hotels that we have only positive things to say. I highly recommend it to anyone who wants... more

My husband and I celebrated our 10th Anniversary at "The Boulders." From the moment we got there and were greeted by the Valet/Bellman, until the moment we left, we couldn't have been treated any friendlier. There was a slight mixup with our room initially and the receptionist that assigned the room, took the time and personally came to our door... more

I went here with my best friend recently and, wow, The Boulders is not only breathtakingly beautiful but the service is the best I've ever experienced. Everyone (and I mean EVERYONE) treated us with kindness and made us feel special. The service was spectacular in every facet. From the room preparation on arrival, to the turn down bed service, to... more
