This was one of the most relaxing places ever. Yes, the place is a little on the "older" style, but still classic. The spa is superb! great inclusive services with any spa treatment. There are soo much wildlife in the area to look at... The price was superb also. Can't say enough about the place... Highly recommend not getting the... more

We booked a special at this hotel on Travelzoo and got a fantastic rate. All that was promised was provided. We were even upgraded to a Sonoran Casita with a great view close to the spa. The staff, from the front desk, to the bell service, valet, groundscrew, housekeeping and especially the Spa, provided truly premium service. They made our... more

We recently had a family reunion at the Boulders and everyone (including two teenage boys - 16 & 19) had a wonderful time! The staff was extremely professional and gave us some great dining suggestions and places to visit. We stayed in a suite and it was huge! Casitas, suites and villas are all surrounded in a natural setting with... more

Beautiful resort, fantastic spa and spa pool! Recommend upgrading to sonoran casita. Would not order room service for dinner, breakfast is good however. Spotted Donkey is delicious. Would also highly recommend nearby Trailhead Ranch for horseback riding. Fanstastic adventure and well kept healthy horses. Also, we had three ladies in one casita and the bathroom/closet had plenty of room for... more

We stayed at The Boulders from June 3 - 7th. We took advantage of a travelzoo promo that made the decision really easy for us to fly out to Arizona for a little get-a-way from the kids. The Resort was very clean and well kept. I didn't really find it to be too dated like others have said here, I... more

Well it was our second visit to the Boulders Resort and once again it was fabulous. The guest service continues to exceed our expectations and that is always consistent. Seeing as we go during the slower season one would think there would be less service and less amenities, but no way not for this resort. We just find this the... more

At current rates hotel rooms are well worth the stay, you will be spoiled. Food is very expensive though. Would recommend getting a room near the spa. The grounds are very spread out but they are always happy to give you a quick life. Very friendly, considerate staff. Lovely landscaping throughout. Totally relaxing stay. Recommend the stargazing tour. Do not... more

My wife and I stayed at The Boulders the first weekend of May and had a fabulous time. The reviews on Trip Advisor were accurate and The Boulders lived up to the high expectations. The staff was wonderful and the concierge was more than willing to help with a variety of requests. All of their restaurant recommendations were excellent. The... more
