The reason for my updated review is to let you know what to expect since Amira changed from a staffed resort to strictly vacation rentals. We were here 1 1/2 years ago when it was a staffed resort. Now, it's a vacation rental with each unit owned by investors but managed by Red Rock Vacation Rentals. The problem is, this place wasn't designed to be vacation rental friendly. I own one in Sedona so I know what a vacation rental should offer its guests. Amira is in a residential neighborhood with no restaurants, bars or grocery stores. There are no food options on property so you will have to go out to get food. As a side note, there also weren't any food options when we stayed here before. That's just the way it is. The rooms are large and spacious -- the biggest fault is they are lacking kitchens. Every vacation rental I've ever stayed in has had a kitchen, even if only a basic one. There is a small refrigerator, older microwave and hot kettle in each room along with a K-Cup coffee maker. No cooktop, no large fridge and no place to prepare food. Prior to selling these as vacation rentals, I really wish they would have added small kitchenettes and a place outside to BBQ. My guess it was probably sold "as is" due to poor occupancy. The last time we were here was in September 2018 and there was hardly anyone here. OK, here are some specifics: PROS It's Quiet - There are about 50 rooms and there are only about 5 are occupied this week as far as I can tell. I don't know if it is because of COVID or just the time of the year, but it's a ghost town. I like that part but for some it could be considered a con. If you like privacy, you'll get it here. No screaming kids at the adults only pool either. Yay! Amira offers two large pools (one adult, one kid-friendly) and a hot tub - Nice pool facilities but wish there were more covered areas with fans as it was 107 here today. Clean Rooms and Grounds - With the exception of the pool water, both the grounds and rooms are very clean. I was shocked at how clean the room was. Nice job housekeeping! Pool had lots of greasy film and bugs floating on it with no skimmer to clean it myself. The 1-bedroom has a large outdoor patio/deck which plenty of room to relax. Pets are Welcome - It's alway nice to bring our dog with us. Make sure you ask for a pet friendly unit. Pet fee not bad. There is a nice park at the bottom of the hill (5 minute drive) where you can walk your pup. Nice Gym and Guest Laundry Area CONS The biggest drawback -- Not a vacation rental friendly place. No luggage carts, no kitchen or cooking area in the room and no BBQ area outside. The room has a small basic fridge and an old microwave. There are no instructions in the room for accessing WiFi. No food or beverage options on site or nearby. Just a few staff members wondering around during the day. Pool water dirty and pool chairs were falling apart and hard to operate. Pool towels in the room are horrible and don't cover the chairs. Had to buy some in town because I hate bad pool towels. Not in a Commercial Location - You'll need to drive to town for grocery shopping, food and beverage. It's about 15 minutes. BAD BED!!!! The bed mattress is really saggy on the sides and extremely uncomfortable. This place does not have heavenly beds, that's for sure. If your primary requirement is a good bed, I'd skip this place. No daily housekeeping option. No robes (we brought our own tho). Spa is closed but assuming its due to COVID. In short, they are promoting this as a vacation rental property when it isn't equipped to be one. Since our last visit, I've noticed the human/service touch is gone. Being here is almost like being in the twilight zone. :( Adding small kitchens in the rooms, a BBQ area and some nice pool furniture/towels would help to bring more life to this place. I wouldn't buy one of these units as an investment until this was done. read more

I cannot say enough about this little gem. We ended up at the Amira Resort when another vacation was cancelled due to weather. I randomly found it online, called and spoke with super helpful staff. I booked and pretty much crossed my fingers. Wellllll my expectations were far exceeded. Our room was stunning and looked even nicer than the photos, the decor is impeccable. The pool is clean, beautiful and super relaxing. The staff is lovely and helpful. We relaxed the second we walked in, and are already dreaming of our next stay. Thanks Amira! We'll be back read more

Great place for a quick family getaway. Quiet resort with 2 pools and a hot tub. Also dog friend which is a plus.

This business is a scam and is falsely representing itself online as a luxury resort and spa. It is a failed former resort with units being rented on various websites (in our case, American Express Travel) and being managed by Red Rock Vacation Rentals, which was not disclosed at the time of booking. The property is completely unstaffed, and the lobby is locked with a sign on the door to call in case of emergency. There were zero guests and cars on site when we arrived. It was like something out of a horror movie. The room itself was fine and appeared to be clean, but we did not feel safe or comfortable staying in a place that could surely be a target for those who know it is essentially abandoned. read more

Amira Resort & Spa - Sign on locked front door of supposed "resort" - Resorts Near Me - St.George, Utah

We stayed here on our way through Utah. It has a making of a wonderful resort but it is missing the little things that make it so. A short list that we needed; phone in the room, pin and paper, a variety of teas for the mini kitchen, and there was no assistance after hours (there should be an onsite person and if there was, it wasn't communicated to us). It felt like we weren't in the right area since it is surrounded by residential homes. This became a plus as it created the feeling of being isolated. The fireplace in the room is wonderful as well as the Jacuzzi tub. We were disappointed to see that the adult pool area didn't include a hot tub. read more

I'll just make a list: Cockroach Didn't charge us correctly then wanted more money the next day... so unprofessional. When i tried to talk to them they said I need to talk to Richard. Richard was supposed to call me back 3 hours ago. Still nothing... Didn't give us the WiFi password Adult pool not heated like they said. Only the kid pool. The restaurant is only open on the weekends... no fitness center like is posted on the signs. No towels at the pool Old hair ties left in our shower Broken outlet Construction outside our door early in the morning. Dogs barking on the property Ice machine is labeled with a piece of paper taped to the door by packing tape read more

This place is gorgeous! I've stayed here when it was Green Valley Spa and it was a pleasure to come back. The rooms are beautiful and the grounds are stunning. The beds are super comfortable and the bathrooms well stocked. I love this place. Staff was super helpful. read more

This hotel is advertised as a 4Diamond resort that's what attracted me to stay here in St George. The staff is friendly but not the 4 diamond service . There is no valet , no bell man , no room service. The front desk closes at 9pm and if I need anything we were given a phone number to call or text. There is no phones in the room. No in room movies , No pen or pads, no Do not disturb door hanger. No one on duty after 9pm . The do not disturb hanger is important when the house keeper bangs on the door at 830am. I answered to say later then an hour later another maid knocks. Check out is at 11:00am. I'm so very disappointed in my stay. The rooms are very large with a coffee & tea station with microwave. This property and staff just needs help it has a lot of potential to earn the Diamond status. Best of luck if you want the hotel looks without all the bells and whistles this is the place. read more

I've never had anything close to an experience this disgusting. The room was dirty with bugs and roaches everywhere, which was still more pleasant than the abhorrent staff. The night manager made several lewd comments and unwanted physical advances to me and my girlfriends after leaving the pool in our bathing suits, even asking which one of us were going to join him in his room that night. Disgusted by this, we told the day manager who did not even apologize. Really appalling behavior all around. Not a safe environment for women, children, families or decent people and the very last place on earth to go for relaxation. read more

My mom and I visited St. George and decided to check out Amira. The property is beautiful. Pools were clean and the landscaping was immaculate. My mom and I both booked a facial and we agreed it was one of our favorite experiences. So relaxing!! Their esthetician, Kailey, was fabulous... so professional, but also super sweet and kind. There are also really unique outdoor, private changing areas and private outdoor showers for after your spa treatments... So glad we visited this resort! Highly recommend! read more

The other reviews are mixed and I almost did one of those ANGRY reviews but after staying here two nights I'm thinking this place is pretty good. It's recently remodeled and the rooms comfortable and are as advertised. Wasn't sure about this place when we pulled in though, it was the off season and we were the only car here. It was dark and they didn't send a map of the place-only real complaint. Keep in mind this isn't a hotel, there's no front desk, no concierge and no one to yell at when the thermostat has a dead battery (i had to go buy batteries to get the heat working) I booked here because they had a pet friendly room ( hard to find in stg) and its next to the most amazing mountain biking in the area. One annoying thing is they make you download an app for booking, lame! Please Dont ask me to do this - I deleted it right away read more

My best friend and I booked a classic "couples" massage at Amira. Positives: Our massages were really great. The massage therapists were professional. Everything was clean. The negatives: They didn't have us fill out any paperwork upon arrival. We've never had that happen at a spa before. They also did not ask us if we were comfortable with a male massage therapist. A lot of women aren't okay with that and I've never been at a spa where they didn't ask first. They didn't give us robes nor a locker room in which to change. We were planning on going to the hot tub after our massage but there wasn't anything appealing about it. Again, the massage therapists did a great job. We really enjoyed the massage. The rest was disappointing. This place has a lot of potential, but unfortunately, as it is, left a lot to be desired. I don't think we'll be coming back. read more

The Room was big! That's all I can say that was good, the fireplace didn't work, the coffee machine in the room didn't work. Jacuzzi at family pool was not hot barely warm! 1 lounge chase on our patio without a cushion all other rooms had a chair and chase with cushion! This place is not worth the price! It has definitely seen better days not kept up at all. read more

Avoid all costs. My husband and I are town for a couple weeks and we have left during our stay. This location is very dirty, the maintenance is lacking, and the amenities are all broken. The broken washer and dryer ruined are closed. I had to put them on the patio to dry and noticed all the stains. The pool has so much chlorine it made my eyes burn and is dirty on the bottom. The room is filled with dust and doesn't appear to have been properly cleaned for a while. Our second morning we were locked out of the room and although the maid brought a physical key to unlock the door it was not the correct key and we had to wait longer for the issue to be addressed. I'm not sure what qualifies this as a resort because there are no actual amenities on site. No food, no drinks, and just overall scummy. read more

What a great place to stop and unwind. My girlfriend and I stayed here after hiking and camping in Zion all weekend. It was the perfect place to get the dirt off and get a great nights sleep. She loved the spa treatment she got and i enjoyed relaxing by the pool. Our bed was very comfortable and overall the place is very clean. We will definitely stay here again next time we are in the area. read more

Our stay here was stunning in every way! Amira Resort smells like essential oils, fresh air and roses. The staff are so kind and accommodating. We were able to receive a couples massage and it could not have been more relaxing and soothing...the environment, the oils, the massage therapists. Thanks Amira for such a lovely stay! read more

I had the best massage I've ever had at Amira. My massage therapist Laura was great. I got the deep tissue 80 minute massage and Laura knew exactly how to stretch my muscles to release the most amount of tension. I have been nursing my baby for 3 months so my back was a wreck. My mother also got a deep tissue massage with Riley and said it was one of the best she's ever had. The outdoor locker room facilities were different and I enjoyed that experience, although it was a little cold. My mom and sister did not appreciate the outdoor locker room. I wish there had been a bathroom in the locker room (it's in the lobby) and more of a spa shop, but I would take a great massage over those things. The facilities look new and are prettily decorated and it feels small and intimate. I did not stay at the resort or use the pool, so I cannot speak to those facilities. read more

So disappointing! I've been coming here for years and unfortunately I will never come again. Rooms are dirty, low supplies, no room service, no check in. Spa not the same. Pool dirty. What ever happened to quality service?? read more

very good! stayed here for 3 nights and had a great experience. room was clean and the bathroom was very nice and seemed updated. beds were clean and the patio was a very relaxing area! all in all would recommend :) read more

Last weekend I had a girls/roommate reunion at Amira. It was picturesque! So so wonderful! I was very happy with my experience here!!! First of all the staff was very friendly and helpful! They were very warm and gave us and our luggage a ride to our room on a golf cart. Definitely made us feel special. Second, the room was a great place to relax and visit. With the super comfy beds, the fire place, the big bathroom for all of us girls, and the fridge and table for all of our snacks for our late night conversations, was exactly what we needed. And third, the facility provided all the fun activities that you could want for a girls weekend! There was quick access to pools as well as the spa where you can truly indulge and treat yourself. Such a wonderful weekend! I strongly encourage anyone to come check this place out! It was a perfect place to relax and enjoy some girl time! Loved every minute! Thanks Amira read more

When I first got here it gave me the creeps. It was completely dark and I legit skipped the "Spa" while driving. After we approached the scary parking lot we had a difficult time finding our resort because the numbers aren't clearly there. So scary because one of the lights were flickering. Finally I found my room and when I first walked it looked fine, but then I walked into the nasty bathroom with wet toilet paper in the toilet and a knife and two cups sitting on the floor. Absolutely made it more scary than it already was. To add to that the bed was a total wreck. Does this place even clean up?! Anyways I got onto the sofa bed and for some reason it was so hard to pull down because the LIGHTS DIDNT WORK. What place has a room where the lights don't even work. When i got onto the sofa bed I started itching like a bed bug was there or something. The only reason i'm giving this place a two is because they tried with their snacks and soaps. Probably won't be going here anymore but I mean I did only pay a little for this spooky little ghost town. Wait also why are some of the rooms better than the other? totally made me jealous walking past the rooms with the lights that worked. Forgot to mention someone walked into my room. Apparently they had gave the same person the same room as me like what the heck. I didn't even feel safe in my room after knowing someone knew my pin to my room. read more

My wife and I were guests here for 11 days in early Sept. Our arrangements were handled by a professional lady, Shari, the reservations manager. Our unit was absolutely pristine and the pool was large and inviting, clean and beautifully quiet in the evening. The atmosphere is conducive to sleeping the night through without a sound. It is a must on your vacation itinerary in St. George. Thanks Shari and Red Rock Property Management for making out stay very enjoyable. JH read more

I'm guessing this place is very new because the staff seems a little unsure and the landscape looks incomplete. But it's beautiful, very clean, great amenities and views. The place is not your basic hotel... it's a homestead. You have to check in during regular office hours. We didn't realize that and had planned to arrive past midnight! The staff was super helpful and left a key under the mat for us everything worked out perfect and we loved our stay here. read more

I used to work here, here is my perspective as a employee. The resort is so beautiful. I loved the location and scenery I loved walking outside to see and smell roses everyday. This resort truly cares about guests being satisfied they care about cleanliness and try to be perfect in doing so. They take pride in being top notch. The housekeepers are trustworthy and honest and work really hard to keep your room in top of the line shape. And often times making it perfect while trying to hurry to finish before it's time to clock out. There are some things I would change and disliked but those things are small in comparison to how hard the laundry attendants work to make sure you don't have mascara on your wash cloths or getting through heeps of sheets and towels to make sure you have the best. It's all a system it's all team work that makes it succeed. From management who even double inspect your work. The blankets are super soft. The salt lamps are amazing in your rooms the fireplace is awesome. Dogs are welcomed. You have cleaner floors than other places because there is no carpet. read more
