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

The Carefree Resort exemplifies the true spirit of Carefree. Laid back and relaxed the resort is hidden within the town and offers the peace and serenity of the Sonoran Desert which surrounds it. It is a truly beautiful resort. The activities they offer are amazing. Our favorite are the campfire stories told by Hopi interpreters and the outdoor dive-in movies... more

Stayed for a long weekend, it was everything we were looking for. We went hiking, played golf. The restaurants at the resort were great without being overpriced and Carefree is the most charming town in the west. You simple have to experience the Carefree Resort, it is a destination that must be experienced at least once in your lifetime! more

I couldn't have picked a worse location to have a weekend retreat to get out of Phoenix. What was designed to be a relaxing, restful couple of days away from "it all" was quickly distroyed by the Carefree Resort and Villas housekeeping schedule. I have never stayed a budget hotel...let alone a "resort" that vacuums the hallways at 8am on... more

We told them we wanted our money back as this was not acceptable. Ben @ the desk refused to refund our money. Ben stated he was allowed to do this and we would... more

The Carferee resort is a perfectly nice resort - but only that. The rooms are large - but brown. Everything in the room is brown. The bathrooms are even brown - so everyone has a rather sickly pallor in the mirror. The resort amenities are sufficient enough so that you won't feel gypped, but it can be hard to score... more

Good morning. As the General Manager of the resort, I am disappointed to read your reviews and see that you didn't have a completely enjoyable experience. I am surprised that you did not find the decor in the room to your liking, but they were professionally designed by a very well regarded company in Arizona that has done many luxury...

We stayed in the villa section which really feels more like a timeshare area than a resort, which was fine. Our upper unit was right by the villa-area pool (as opposed to the main resort pool which is bigger, fewer kids-- 10 minute walk from our villa at the far end of the resort) and had a wonderful view of... more

Thank you for taking the time to post your review. It is always helpful for me to understand what our guests experience so I can make things better and continue to improve. You have certainly hit a nerve with the Villas as all are privately owned. The vast majority of owners have agreed to allow the resort to rent their...
