This was my first time staying in a "villa" so the size compared to a hotel room was luxurious! These Villas are really cute and spacious which was perfect since we had two small children with us. It was around 1200 square feet with two bathrooms and a garden tub in the master room bath. One downside was pool by the Villas was really small and there wasn’t a lot of hotel staff attending to the pool. There is another pool located on the main resort but it is quite a ways from the villas. I think since the Villas are far from the main resort, the service is not the best, but it is not bad. Housekeeping does a good job and even does dishes since you have a small kitchen with full size appliances. You also have a utility closet with a full size washer and dryer. The DVD player was a plus and we didn’t have to spend extra money for pay per view movies for the kids. Our villa was a bit of a walk to the pool but it’s a pretty walk. I love Carefree AZ so Im a little bias but the surroundings are breathtaking. You should not stay here if you do not have a car because there is nothing around off the resort except for beautiful residential homes. If you have a car it is not a far from grocery stores, starbucks etc. but not near any malls or boutique shops. The spa onsite was nice, but really pricey. I had one of the best massages there but it cost more than we paid for the room per night! I would stay here again and would recommended it to other families. Since we go to AZ often to visit family, relax, and hide from the hustle and bustle this really works for us.
