    Staying here for 1st time. Resort is next to everything. It is so beautiful. Its tucked away on a canyon side. Beautiful views and great amenities. There is valet parking and they offer a golf cart to take you uphill. Highly recommend.

    This guy was excited when his food was brought to him. He kept on saying that he will put it in the fridge.    Lol.

    This review is long past due. Went here in February & had the most magical time in Sedona for our babymoon . Didn't want to travel too far since going to a different country while being pregnant scared the crap out of me. Wanted something that was a quick flight & also wanted our fur baby to come along . Sedona was the destination for our babymoon . It was quite magical with the the stunning red rock formations, our creekside room with amazing views of the mountains & serenity of the water. Everything was literally so perfect. Upon arrival, they had some macaroons and a sparkling cider & the sweetest note for our stay. That really set the tone for our whole duration there. Loved the whole place . It was quite relaxing. It was my fur babies first time traveling on a plane which was super special . Loved that this place was super dog friendly which was a huge bonus. They even wrote his name on the welcome board which was the cutest thing ever. I loved our stay here . It's right in the middle of everything with restaurants nearby . This Babymoon was so magical and relaxing . This place holds a special place in my heart & Def be back in the future.

    I've stayed in Sedona several times but this was my first time staying at Amara and let me say, I think it is my new go to place. I found it super last minute for a quick birthday trip. I had no idea it has been here the whole time. It is at the perfect location, right on the main strip of shops, yet it looks over the river. The friendly valet workers will even drive you in a cart to the shops so there's no need to hustle with parking! Our room was very cool and we had a nice breakfast on the patio. I love the infinity pool and that there's private access to the creek. Definitely stay here if you can:)

    Outdoor dining. The food was excellent!

    Beautiful resort with great dining and magnificent views of Snoopy mountain. All employees, waiter, valet and front desk were very attentive. We'll be back.

    This is not a terrible hotel. However I'm completely confused where the excellent reviews are coming from. We paid 750 per night before fees and taxes for what is essentially a standard motel room. The good: grounds are pretty right next to the river. Pool was fine. The staff were friendly. Restaurant seemed nice but we never ate there as we were loath to give the hotel any more money after our experience. The bad: got to our room and there was no hot water. Called the front desk and it sent us through a phone tree and finally to the front desk where no one picked up the first time. Took 5 minutes to get someone on the phone. They send a repair man who was polite and doing his job but takes about 45 minutes to get the hot water working, is in and out of the room, while we're standing around in towels desperate to shower after a long day of hiking. After that sub par start no compensation is offered. We ask the front desk and they waive the $35 dollar per day "resort fee" unclear why there is even a resort fee as the amenities are pretty standard. Then the room itself. For the price I expected something nice. It was .... Fine? We stayed in a double tree for $150 the night before which was honestly nicer. The room was clean but dated and worn. Walls were scuffed, furniture chipped, baseboards chipped, tile/grout in the shower cracked. Again this seemed like a fine room of you were at a motel. For $750 per night this is highway robbery. Overall: would not recommend staying here unless you are somehow paying less than $150 in which case it would be acceptable. At its current prices the quality is a joke. Save your money and stay at a holiday inn. It's probably a better experience anyway.

    Dog friendly!

    Immaculately clean room which is something I have not experienced on this level while traveling since 2020. Very comfortable bed and room. I had everything I needed on site. Appreciated the valet parking included and shuttle up the hill to local shops. Awesome creek views, delightful pool and outdoor areas and delicious restaurant.

    The exterior of the resort is gorgeous and you can beat the pool view and getting a room overlooking it for the gorgeous view you see in so many pictures (however not all pool-facing rooms get that view). Common area, pool, jacuzzi is really nice and it's heated! There are also Fire pits open at night as well bringing in the cozy vibes. The room itself is a little outdated, some water damage marks like cracks on ceiling and holes. The building smells a tad musty too. As some others said the layout of the bathroom is a little funky, probably because they built a huge closet instead of a bigger bathroom. We had a courtyard facing room with the pool but on the curve end so would miss the mountain. Complimentary valet (no self-park), coffee/tea from 6-9am is part of the resort fee. There's also a Little creek area behind the pool for a nice walk Navigation a little hard to find off the main road but it feels secluded and is actually very close, just dips down a bit from the main road. The resort is also Dog friendly! With the resort fees + the overall price, I thought what we got didn't necessarily match what we paid and was expecting a bit more than just a gorgeous courtyard/pool area. Staff were all generally friendly so no complaints there.

    A little welcome gift

    Is this resort kid friendly?

    I did see some children mostly at the pool. I don't feel their menu is kid friendly.

    Is it really a no smoking property?

    You may not smoke inside the buildings, but you may smoke if you are 25 feet or more from an entrance.

    Are the beds comfortable?

    Every time I've stayed here the rooms and beds are extremely comfortable. They will provide you extra pillows, blankets or anything else you may need. All the comforts of home and the views to WOW you. LOVE THIS PLACE <3

However, when we initially arrived, the young front desk agent with red hair appeared to be on a personal phone call. She ended the call by saying "I love you," which made it seem like it may have been a conversation with a friend. After the call she greeted us, but throughout the interaction she seemed unsure and a bit confused about the information she was giving. I would strongly suggest additional training on customer service and job knowledge to ensure guests feel welcomed and confident in the information they receive. Especially at a property where guests are paying around $1,000 a night, first impressions and professionalism are very important. Aside from that initial front desk experience, everything else about our stay was wonderful.

The staff is really friendly. Everyone had a smile on their face and constantly said hello. It was very welcoming. The Trail house and art studio are great additions to the property. You can't take art classes or rent equipment for hikes or bike rides. In both spaces the people are very knowledgeable. Food choices are good. They have coffee shop with a variety of snacks and a couple restaurants. The pool is nice and the tennis bc outta and pickleball courts couldn't have a more scenic view. The Bad - The rooms are pretty dated. They need an upgrade at those prices. I had a patio to sit on but didn't have any chairs on the patio so I couldn't really use it. The room was dark and dim. No soft close toilet seat. Bathroom products were pretty average. Food prices are out of control.

As we're cruising down the main street we passed The Inn Above Oak Creek and noticed they had a lit-up vacancy sign. We immediately went in and met with the inn keeper who offered to let us go see the room before we committed to booking. This is THE cutest little 13 room inn set right on Oak Creek. There is seating down by the creek, on the patio off the main room, and inside the main room itself that all have great views. Our room was very spacious with a 2-person sized bathtub and a fireplace! It had truly the most comfortable bed I've ever slept in away from home. My husband was obsessed and wanting to know how we could copy it to have at home. Both of the inn managers were so kind and took such good care of us. You could feel how much they care for the inn and value their guests. There's always coffee and water set out. They have homemade cookies in the afternoon and homemade muffins in the morning. They have a bookshelf with various options for reading and a large selection of movies. On the coffee table, they have binders full of recommendations for trails and exploring the area. It was such a cute and intimate place to stay. I'd recommend it to anyone traveling to Sedona and I'd love to stay here again! We truly couldn't have found a better place to stay for Valentine's Day.
