Stayed here on a fluke. Love the property! Western themed and some amazing landscaping. The hotel was built in the 60's and has the low motel structure. Some wonderful artwork throughout. Our room was huge and nicely decorated. Rooms need some TLC (like new faucets, dings in the paint and front/patio door upgrades, etc). The restaurant food was so-so but... more

Stayed here on a Priceline Reservation this past August. The place was completely dead. I honestly don't know if there were 5 other guests there. I know that it is low season in Arizona in August, but still. Good things about the place were the following: free business center, a nice pool and whirlpool which was void of people, free... more

Beautiful scenery but there is where it ends. The room looked like something out of the 60's. There was no tub, only a shower with next to no water pressure. The soap and shampoo weren't replaced until the THIRD day. Their "business center" didn't ever have a printer to allow you to print boarding passes. The bed was comfortable, but... more

We stayed at the Carefree Resort last night; our friend's wedding was being held at Sassi down the street, so the hotel was a good option to spend the night at rather than drive home. We got a decent rate, (granted, we selected the cheapest option) although they ended up resending a proposal because they forgot to add on a... more

My family and I enjoyed our first vacation to Arizona during the last week of July. I also wanted to be able to tour a resort in the States for Dream Makers Vacation Services in order to assist clients looking for a getaway in the States. The vacation was fantastic from start to finish and I can’t say enough about... more

Very very hot at this time of the year and as a consequence the hotel was rather quiet which was great for a slow start to the holiday after flying in to Phoenix from the UK. Our reservation was not recorded but fortunately as the hotel was not full there was no problem. Big room and well maintained and equipped.... more

I have been to this resort before in one of the villas. It was very nice.....but, I asked for a room with a view and didn't get it and had other issues that went unanswered. I decided to give them another chance since the room service food first time around was wonderful and this trip was going to be and... more

We were so excited to stay one night, just down the street from where we now live at this old icon of a hotel that I used to stay when I was a kid visiting from NY with my family. We got there and was pleasantly surprised that our room at been upgrade to a casita. The room is enormous... more

I recently visited The Careefree Resort and Villas and it was ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL! Me and my companion still think about our stay at this resort and we can't wait to go back. It exceeded our expectations. We would definitely visit again. The staff at this resort along with everyone we came across during our stay was pleasant, cheerful, and friendly.... more

My wife and I were in need of some alone time to rest and recharge our batteries. The time spent at the Carefree Resort was just what the Doctor ordered. The room was spacious and comfortable, the pool..WOW...the resturaunt was excellent and the staff as friendly and helpful as you could wish. We will be back!!! more
