Amara Resort & Spa, Sedona

I had high hopes for this hotel, especially given the spa's reputation. While the location is indeed beautiful, my experience was rather disappointing due to service issues and the overall value for what we paid. The amenities seem lacking for a resort spa, and I wouldn't necessarily recommend staying here unless improvements are made.

We had a mixed experience at the resort. The infinity pool is stunning and offers breathtaking views, making it a highlight of our stay. The rooms, while clean and comfortable, could use more attention to detail, and the service had some hiccups that impacted our overall enjoyment. However, the dining experience was excellent, particularly at Salt Rock Kitchen, and the complimentary wine hour was a delightful touch.

The hotel has some redeeming qualities like helpful staff and nice amenities but falls short in several critical areas. The experience is marred by overpriced dining options and cleanliness issues in the rooms. Additionally, the location offers some scenic views but can feel a bit crowded due to external noise.

My stay at the Amara Resort was a mix of highs and lows. While the staff was friendly and helpful, the overall cleanliness and maintenance of the facilities left much to be desired. I enjoyed the location's serenity near Oak Creek, but the dining experience didn't live up to expectations, particularly with the service at the restaurant. Ultimately, for the price we paid, I expected better overall quality.

I had a fantastic time at Kimpton Amara Resort! The infinity pool was stunning, offering breathtaking views of the Red Rocks, and there were plenty of fun activities for my family, like star gazing and s'mores nights. However, the resort does show some signs of wear, and the coffee availability could be improved. Overall, it’s a great place to relax and unwind in beautiful surroundings.
