This resort was truly one of a kind. From the Casita to the food it was awesome. It has beautiful casitas that give you alot of privacy and beautiful views. All the restaurants were wonderful. Would definetly go back.

My husband and I were in Arizona for a conference at the Westin for several days, from there we went up to the Grand Canyon for a couple of days and came back to The Boulders for three nights. However, we enjoyed The Boulders so much we extended our stay to five nights. We had a basic room, but for the price was much nicer than any Ritz Carlton we have stayed in for much more money. The staff was great, the grounds were lovely and the Golden Door Spa was heavenly. We actually saw three bobcats. What a thrill. We went horse back riding and we enjoyed the little town of Cave Creek also. Everyone was helpful with whatever we needed and very prompt. We would love to go back. We did feel that it would have been nice to have more restaurants at night, but you did have the shopping center near by and Cave Creek also. The pool area was nice with the water trickling down a large boulder......... very relaxing.

We just spent four nights on the golf package at The Boulders and we can't recommend it. The property is gorgeous, but the entire resort needs a face-lift. The bathrooms look very late-80's. The TV in the room was so small and far from the bed that you couldn't use the remote unless you walked to the end of the bed -- plus just a VCR player, no DVD. The rooms are pretty bland and dingy, and that goes for the whole decor everywhere. The golf courses are gorgeous, but the pace of play was awful. They're filled with corporate outings and bad, slow resort players. The front desk people were incredibly rude and unhelpful. The two positives were the Spa, which is great, and the food overall was excellent.

They need a face-lift and new, better management and staff, and it would be a world-class resort.

We spent 4 nights at the Boulders in late September 2006 to celebrate our wedding anniversary. We are 38 and 48 and vacation quite a bit. We having nothing but great things to say about our experience at the Boulders. We might have to make it an annual trip. Staff members were everywhere, and were very friendly and helpful. We laughed at how happy they all seemed. The grounds are beautiful, the spa experience was great, and my husband loved the golf. We were continually surprised how they seeming to think of everything, from little details in our room to cold bottled water and a map in our car as we checked out and headed to the airport. Yes, the resort is about 20 years old, so the rooms aren't new, but ours had been well-cared for and was very comfortably furnished. A couple tips: be prepared to walk; be prepared to pay high-end resort prices for drinks and food; and check out Binkley's Restaurant in Cave Creek if you want a fantastic fine-dining experience!
