(Used 05/21/25 WE @ 9:00am - 05/23/25 FR @ 9:00am): I was in euphoria as I swam laps in their large pool at this spa associated with the Hilton Sedona At Bell Rock!
As a guest at the Hilton Sedona Resort At Bell Rock, one of the many amenities I was afforded was access to the Eforea Spa At Hilton. "Discover 25,000sqft of wellness and begin your journey to recovery and rejuvenation. The spa offered world-renowned treatments inspired by Sedona's magnetic energy and therapies designed to balance, soothe, and nourish the mind, body, and soul. Compliment your treatment with a dive into their refreshing 25-meter outdoor lap pool, decompress in their whirlpool, or unwind in their soothing eucalyptus steam room and dry sauna." I rarely took advantage of any spa facilities whenever I stayed at a hotel (if available), but if there was a pool (indoors or outdoors), I easily gravitated to that! Was I all for this Hilton spa in Sedona!?
PURCHASE
Although there was a gift/merchandise shop, there wasn't anything I needed - 'nuff said.
EXPERIENCE
I briefly explored the indoor gym and hopped onto the treadmill for a light 30-minute job before I made my way to the pool, grabbed a patio lounger, donned my earplugs and swim goggles, and took the plunge in my own lane. This water baby was as happy as a clam as I stroked back and forth, flipped at the walls, and enjoyed the 82° water temperatures (apparently they kept it at this level all of the time!) while the air temperatures started at a balmy mid-80s in the morning. An hour of swimming each morning really got my day going and was ready for the world. Thank goodness for the pool!
SERVICE
Each day I visited, I was warmly greeted at the front desk by a different lovely young woman who asked to see my room key, had me sign in, and then patiently provided me with a rundown of all the spa had to offer, etc. I swore, each woman's voice was like an ASMR session that put me at ease and nearly to sleep! Once that was all done, I was left to my own devices. Towels were readily available for whatever usage. You had to exit the same way you entered, so I was given cheery goodbyes each time I left - awesome!
PARKING (Varied; FREE this instance)
I was granted complimentary parking at the hotel based on my Honors status. Otherwise, there was plenty of parking on the hotel's sprawling private lot - 'nuff said.
ATMOSPHERE, DÉCOR, AMBIENCE
A simple modern-looking facility with a welcoming lobby that then branched off to various areas such as the restrooms, locker rooms, spa area, indoor gym https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw&select=ZAO3AmJYuT3BiycWMY5A3g with a many machines, gift shop, treatment rooms, an outdoor exercise https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw&select=eP2civOR43WgRuD5-QjY-g lot, the pool https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw&select=GbwBHih9fzX_7I_oRYFOgg where you found me, and finally a whirlpool https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw&select=t78_I1txGXS42EbY7vhsmg (I think I covered it all). There was a definite calming soothing motif with a lovely aromatic wisp in the air. Inside, plenty of natural lighting came through the large glass doors and windows while electric ceiling lights filled in the rest; whereas, outside obviously had a ton of natural sunbeams. I didn't notice any TVs while lilting music played in the background. https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw&select=tnhL6eSdjCWdF5rs4Uq4FA
ATTIRE
Totally casual, so I would normally be in a t-shirt, boardshorts, and flip-flops.
OVERALL
All of the amenities and niceties available at Eforea Spa At Hilton were lost on me because the outdoor lap pool was the only thing that interested me. Thank goodness this was part of my hotel stay and I swam off all of the beers and bad food while on this trip. I honestly couldn't say anything else about what they offered, whether or not non-hotel guests were able to use it, or if there was even any fees. I saw no children here which was great! Lastly, everyone I came in contact with was the best! I found very good value based on the prices, service, and experience noted above (TOTAL paid experience was around $0.00 BEFORE any discounts, points usage, and/or tip). And, they accepted my credit card of choice... AMEX! 4.0 STARS read more
