Amara Resort and Spa

Absolutely beautiful property. Quite a few families there, which made it a little difficult to have a romantic getaway. The staff and facilities are amazing though.

Overall, this resort is intended for families with small children instead of adults/couples. While the ambience and scenery was nice and the restaurant was convenient, the unattended noise from unattended children running in hallways or playing boisterously in the pool by splashing other people continuously didn’t leaving me wanting to return here. I did observe guests smoking marijiuana from their balcony on the second floor facing the pool on more than one occasion and while the valet staff was extremely friendly, our car was never ready when we asked for it; there was always a wait time. Okn our last night there was not signage to notify guests that the valet was off/closed early; instead I had to go inside and do some detective work. The guest I was traveling with noted a leak in the bathroom and we did have to call the front desk several times to replace toilet tissue. There were some pain points and it wasn't a seamless vacation.

Only thing that could be better is if it was an adults only resort. Could do without the kids yelling in the spa/pool area. But other than that it’s a very nice stay.

Small and busy pool area without enough of sun umbrellas. SPA facilities very modest - only one steam room. Families with small children. Not really a place to unwind.

Amara was amazing! The scenery and proximity to all the shops on uptown was perfect. The staff and service was top notch too. Pool also has a babyling brook behind it with natural views of wildlife that really makes you feel like you’re in nature. Highly recommend staying here for your Sedona trip

Amazing hotel!!! Since arrival we were treated like royalty. Beautiful hospital grounds; great big and comfortable room overlooking a creek. Extremely polite and attentive staff. We are staying there for a birthday getaway and once we arrived to the room, we were received with Birthday Macaroons. Im definitely planning on staying here again and making it a family trip. Thanks for everything Amara!

My husband and I stayed for his 40th birthday. The staff went above and beyond to make our stay amazing. The front desk was so kind, knowledgeable, and helpful. The resort and rooms were beautiful and clean. I loved the lotion and bathroom extras. I cannot wait to bring our family here!

Beautiful hotel with a great location! Perfect for my family of 4 including two kiddos. We loved eating lunch by the pool and the golf cart rides to the main strip.

We had a wonderful stay at Amara! We spent 5 nights at the resort for our anniversary. From the moment we arrived, we were warmly greeted by the valet staff and concierge. Since we arrived early, so our room wasn’t ready. By the time we ate lunch, we were notified the room was ready for us. Shortly after settling in our room, we were treated to champagne and chocolate strawberries in recognition of our anniversary. What a great way to start our trip! Since this was our first time in Sedona, we weren’t sure if Amara’s location would be walkable to shops and restaurants, but it was ideal! Amara is not a huge resort, but the quaint feel and personal attention is just what we were hoping for. There was a great mix of guests ranging from young families to couples both young and old. While there are other restaurants off property nearby, we ate at Salt Rock several times. The ambiance, food and service were top notch! The pool area seemed rather small, but we still were able to find lounge chairs (even for a holiday weekend). Another wonderful option if one needs to cool off is the creek behind the resort. There is a walkway leading to the creek side and a chair swing where one can enjoy the surroundings. We truly had a wonderful stay at Amara and are so happy we chose to stay here! Thank you to each and everyone who made our time memorable. We will definitely look forward to returning!

We loved everything about this hotel! Perfect for our family on a long road trip. Very friendly, food was amazing, and took care of all our requests.
