Reviews for The Boulders Resort & Spa
Living Off Its Past — No Longer a Luxury Resort
I’ve stayed at The Boulders for decades, and this was once a premier resort. Today, it’s living off its past. For a property that opened in the mid-1980s, the lack of reinvestment is obvious. The place is tired. Our room was only moderately clean, exterior areas were dirty, and basic maintenance—like functioning balcony doors—has been neglected. Service is not at a luxury level. Staff are polite but poorly trained, and the resort appears understaffed. Details are missed throughout. This is no longer a luxury experience. I won’t be back unless there is a full renovation and meaningful operational improvement. At this point, it’s not a Curio Collection—it’s a curious one.

Have a margarita!
Ryan gave us so many appetizer and food suggestions. We had to have guacamole and lime margaritas for St Paddy’s day. The food was excellent but these may be the BEST margaritas in Cave Creek. Thanks Ryan
