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

I recently spent a week at The Boulders. I went with my girlfriend for a relaxing vacation. Overall, this was a great place to stay. We stayed in a sonoran casita which had a better view. I would recommend spending the extra cash for this since the regular casitas appeared not to have a very good view. Our room was... more

My sister and I just got back from The Golden Door Spa at The Boulders Resort. First off, the Resort was wonderful and for the most part the Spa was fine except...we both got the La Stone Massage, which is one of the most expensive treatments they offer, and for your convenience, they tack on a 20% tip well before... more

We stayed here for 2 nights on April 14-16. First we got an incredible rate. $199 per nite! I have never stayed at such a gorgeous property and we travel extensively! The natural setting of desert and boulders is straight out of a travel magazine. We arrived late on a Tuesday evening and the staff whisked us off to our... more
