Reviews for The Boulders Resort & Spa
The staff is perfection 👌
Beautiful resort but the staff made the difference. The bell hops were so friendly and accommodating and we were lucky to have Jeffrey as our server during breakfast. Shubham at the spa pool was so gracious. Held our tab until my husband got out of his meeting so he could have a cocktail at the pool and rounded up snacks for us when he found out we had to leave at 3 am for our flight. He is a gem and the perfect personality for the spa pool vibe. The only drawback is the rooms need a bit of maintenance. The stone walls in the bathroom are old and need updating and im sure are difficult to clean so while it adds to the look im unsure how clean the shower really was.

Beautiful Desert Retreat
This is a unique resort in what feels like a remote area around Scottsdale. The grounds are kept like a premium golf club. The lodge is a very nice vibe at night although the lounge area is a little too small. We loved the swimming pool at the lodge ; it had a nice atmosphere and poolside wait service that was very friendly and attentive. The poolside chairs were quite uncomfortable though. We were there to lounge around at the pool, but we needed to leave early because of the chairs (no kidding). Dinner at the lodge was excellent, we didn’t care for the Spotted Donkey. We had an casita room; it was excellent! One of the nicest rooms I’ve had anywhere in the world. Overall, we had a very nice time.

Joke of a gym. This place closes at 5:00 pm. I would assume people might want to work out after 5:00 pm.
I went to the gym at 4:48 pm only to discover that the gym closes at 6 and the steam closes at 5. The girl at the front desk was uninformed and could barely answer my questions. I am very disappointed. These hours are ridiculous.

Grounds are absolutely beautiful. We had a wonderful spa experience. Couple issues with the room that was remedied. Two shouts outs: outstanding service and attention from Shubham Raj at the pool and spa cafe. The protein smoothies after our workout were delicious! Ryan at the Spotted Donkey gave excellent service and the cocktails were fantastic!

Our new hotspot for great food, cocktails, and happy hour
This was our first time at the Spotted Donkey. We live literally four minutes away. I never even knew it was here. We are so glad we found this place. Such a beautiful setting. Incredible food and cocktails and our server. Megan went above and beyond making sure our experience was favorable and rememberable.
