We anticipated visiting Sedona for 10 years and finally made arrangements to experience this part of the world. People say anticipation is greater than the reality, but our stay at the Adobe Grand Villas surpassed our expectations. We spent 2 nights in the French Quarter and 2 nights in Sagebrush Villa and spent every moment in pure bliss. The detail in every corner was amazing, as was the glorious jacuzzi tub and unique shower. Every review previous to ours says it all. The breakfasts were delightful and the rooms equipped with anything you might need to tantalize all the senses from the smell of baked bread to the softness of the comfortable bed basking in the warmth of the fireplace. We make it a point to dine in different venues, so take advantage of the dinners just down the road - Savannah for filet mignon and seabass, Barking Frog for Mexican, Dahl and Deluca for Italian and closer to the downtown area, Cowboy Club for burgers and Rene for French. Yummy! We were able to visit all 4 major vortexes in one day - Bell, Cathedral, Airport and Boynton and on the way to the Grand Canyon, it is imperative to see the Sunset Crater and neighboring Indian Ruins. These left a bigger impression than the big daddy canyon. The staff at AGV was more than professional, for their warmth and friendliness was undeniably part of the whole experience of healing. We highly recommend renting a convertible as the scenery to and from the airport and surrounding Sedona was remarkable with the top down. We believe God truly kissed Sedona and the angels reside at Adobe Grand Villas. We look forward to returning next year and already plan on staying at the Whispering Pines Villa and enjoying a personal dinner prepared by the resident chef Michael. Thanks for the wonderful experience. Wayne & Roberta Wind, Darien, Illinois.

Adobe Grand Villas is probably the most unique and gorgeous place we have ever stayed. Really, really incredible.... the attention to detail (architectural and decorating) is amazing. Totally comfortable in every way.... and the staff is so friendly and helpful. This is a boutique bed and breakfast, and is really most appropriate for honeymooners or other romantic getaways, however as a single mom with 2 kids, I did not in any way feel out of place (which sometimes happens!) but rather very welcomed! This is not a spot for a budget traveller, but if you are looking for a splurge, I would absolutely recommend it whole heartedly. A very special place! p.s. we stayed in the Timbers suite... my kids could not get over the waterfall shower or the jacuzzi tub with the fireplace in front of it! They wanted to live there!

I wrote one other review of the property and somehow it didnt show up so I'll try again.

We stayed at the Adobe Grand Villas earlier this month for a week and I would say that you will be hard pressed to find a nicer room to stay in anywhere, but I would not say that the ~$500+/night is money well spent. The beautiful views are limited in seemingly most of the rooms and the property is located just off of 89A in what appears to be a split of a residential and business area of sedona.

I would agree in general with another reviewer (BBi dtd 10/07) That the breakfast was disappointing and we were surprised that there would be the trouble getting the advertised "hot bread" in the room. We didnt get to appreciate this during our stay. We also had the server at breakfast go out of her way to make sure we were clear we were to check out the day we did and had her visit the room around 10 am to check on us, a few minutes later we started receiving calls w/hang ups and then as we were about to leave at 11, the maid service showed up beating the heck out of the door!

I would not be as hard on the property (especially in light of the beautiful rooms), but to be listed as #1 and command the $500 rate is a stretch here and indeed the service does come up short.

I don't even know how to begin to explain to you how wonderful this resort is. We stayed on 2 separate nights in different rooms.
The first night we stayed in the Wagon Wheel room (my favorite) which was an old western themed room. There is a wagon wheel bed, waterfall style shower and beautiful woodwork. The room had every accommodation you can imagine including fresh baked bread, a fully set dining table, private porch and the most comfortable bed and bedding I have ever experienced. The staff was beyond accommodating with special regard to GM/Chef Michael Mirelli. The breakfast was both healthy and hearty which was wonderful and very tasty. It was really nice to be in a resort that really does consider every guest.
