Reviews for The Boulders Resort & Spa

Great lunch!

TripAdvisor Traveler Review Rating Reviewed 1 day ago

We stopped by The Boulders for lunch and were hoping to sit outside on the patio. However, they had just closed down the outside area. London, the bartender, was kind enough to reopen the deck for us and serve us outside, which we really appreciated! She provided great service and makes the best spicy margaritas!! This was our first time visiting the boulders since we just moved to arizona so this was great! Thank you London!

Dirty. That’s how I would summarize this resort. The pools, the chairs, the floors and bathrooms.

TripAdvisor Traveler Review Rating Reviewed 6 days ago

This resort was so disappointing. We came to hike in the mornings and spend the afternoons at the pool. The spa pool chairs were disgusting and covered in bird droppings so we went to the main pool where there were not enough loungers or umbrellas to accommodate the guests. The next day we tried the club pool. It was dirty and a large group of unattended children were beating each other with pool noddles and screaming their heads off. I get that kids should be able to play in pools but this was insane. No pool attendants anywhere. People save seats and don’t use them while they play pickleball or have spa services. The floor in the room was so gross your feet get black walking across it. I did communicate the dirty pool loungers to the resort and they said they would “pass it along” zero follow up. The rooms would be nice if they were clean, and the grounds are in a very nice setting. I would absolutely not return, not recommend it and believe it when the reviews you read say this resort is outdated and DIRTY. This is not a 4 star resort. The spa is a joke for the prices they are charging. This resort has to be understaffed or something. They need new pool loungers, more umbrellas, and a deep deep clean. There are too many resorts in Scottsdale to put up with the grossness at this one. The bed is super comfortable so I asked what the mattress was and they couldn’t tell me. Referred me to a generic website, lol. 1/10 do not stay here. We booked an earlier flight out tomorrow if that helps.

Magic, Beauty, Peace

TripAdvisor Traveler Review Rating Reviewed 2 weeks ago

The Boulders is such an incredible property. There is so much wildlife to see, so much beauty, peace, and magic. The team members are all incredible, Madison our waitress took such great care of us for breakfast with a view to die for, Etkin and Sarah really decked us out for dinner and were so attentive, and Cliff who drove us around in the golf cart is so knowledgeable about geology and or ornithology, and we really learned a lot from him on our little drives around the property and he took us up to an incredible spot to see the sunset. And the gal at the front desk who checked us in, was also so incredible, welcoming and helpful, I can’t remember her name, but the front desk team is awesome!
