The Boulders Resort & Spa

From the moment you get to gates of the property you know this place is special. The staff is incredible, the landscape is amazing and the overall experience is unmatched. While many people stood out, from concierge to bar tenders, I have to give a huge shout out to the fact this property has an internship program for those interested in hospitality and that gave way to international workers that truly do a great job, specifically Etkin who made me feel at home. The golf course is so fun and beautiful. Also, please make sure to enjoy the spa: the Lomi Lomi and Ashiatsu massages are AMAZING! And don’t forget the hydrafacial…you’re in the desert and your skin will thank you.

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!

Sydney the bartender had amazing service and was such a delight to talk with. She is so funny and has great customer service.

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 I would absolutely not return, not recommend it and believe it when the reviews you read say this resort is outdated and DIRTY.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.

What a fabulous resort! Great locatio n. Wonderful rooms. Amazing views. Delicious restaurants. Dedicated staff. Definitely book your excursions with Nancy! She was so knowledgeable of the area anf extremely helpful in curating awesome adventures during our stay. I highly recommend the Boulders...do not hesitate to book!
