No matter how many years this original "Rock Resort" has been gracing the Arizona desert near Phoeniz, it still remains an oasis that has class and a magical dynamic that will stimulate and entice you!!!

Some of the reviews of late have been premature to signal some decline in the service and top shelf accomodations at this grand dame of high class resorts in the Phoenix area.. Any shortcomings are being addressed and upgrades are forthcoming in the resturant and bar.

The staff and management went out of there way to ensure that my stay was not only one to remember, but one that brought back wonderful memories of some of my original weekends back in the late 80's and early 90's.

The golf courses are still first rate, challenging and offer breath taking vista's of the boulders and rock formations that have been gracing this sacred grounds for maybe 3 million years, give or take a year or two.

Bottom line, if you have visited the Boulder's before, don't hesitate to return again and again. The magic is still alive!!!

Went for my wife's birthday Dec 2-6. Had a fantastic time, exquisite service and experience in the Golden Door Spa. I don't understand the negative experiences of others as below. It does seem management is trying very hard, has ironed out the probs described earlier this year.

I was very pleased with th Boulders Resort. After reading some reviews, I was a little concerned about the locations of the casitas. But when we arrived and saw how easy it was to get around I was relived. The walk from our casita to the main lodge was less than 3 minutes and the scenery is beautiful. Before we left our room we would call the bell captain and when we arrived at the desk our car was there,waiting for us. If it was night, or we did not feel like walking, they will promptly pick you up in a golf cart shuttle and take you to your waiting car. I can imagine that wait times for these services could be longer in the busier season so just allow more time. The golf course is just a shuttle bus drive away, less than a 5 minute drive. There are 2 course, both meander through the desert and offer outstanding scenery of the Boulders and the surrounding mountains. The rooms were clean and large with a sitting area and small balcony. As another revview mentioned, the rooms could use an update, but certainly our room was acceptable. Perhaps an upgrade of the televisions would help, but who goes to the Boulders to watch TV. All in all this resort deserves the accolades it has received and is a definite must stay.

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.
