  • Nice large bathrooms with plenty of counter space to put your things.
  • They need to tell you upon arrival that you are paying $29 a day for tips for the staff at the resort.

“Great time! Two beautiful golf courses. Food wonderful and so was the spa! We would definitely go back to this resort!”

  • Loved the setting, the spa, the room with fireplace and service for picking us up while staying in resort was excellent.
  • I don't have anything that I did not like about boulders.

“I would recommend this resort to others. I thought the setting of boulders resort and their lodging was wonderful. There was plenty to do at the resort and also many places to drive to that were not too far away in the area it's located.”

  • Beautiful setting.
  • Dated rooms.

“Nice resort. $29 per day resort fee. $29 covers all tipping except for restaurants and bar. Rooms are getting a bit dated (20 years old).”

  • Pristine grounds, natural beauty.
  • Somewhat dated, could be updated. Wireless DSL only, which I could not use.

“This is the third time over twelve years that I have stayed at the Boulders. It is like time has stood still there. That has both positive and negative implications. Memories and familiarity are great but the facility is showing its age in both looks and limited technology.”

  • The quality of service was first rate.
  • I ordered champagne prior to arrival but it was not in the room as requested.

“Great location, great spa, great golf, great food and great staff!”

  • Arizona is beautiful and this hotel captures its natural beauty. A fabulous desert experience.
  • They give you flashlights to help you see (on your way back to your room at night) were too weak.

“The hotel's layout is one of seclusion and privacy. You are not coming and going out of a main lobby which makes you feel more like a resident than a guest, but pampered nonetheless. At the same time, the exclusiveness of this hotel makes you feel like a star. I highly recommend it.”

  • Ambiance in the desert/boulders
  • The $30 resort fee per day + hassle in checking in

“Nice location, needs updating. Did not feel like a 5 start but more like a 4 star hotel. They definitely need more staff when checking into the facility.”
