The staff is unprofessional. The spa is excellent for a massage, but horrible for a manicure, unless you want the manicurist pitching her book the whole time. The food is terrible and overpriced. Uncooked lamb and uncooked scallops were served to our table. The location is excellent, located in the center of Sedona, which is the hotels only saving grace.... more

I booked a "Romantic Rendezvous" package over the phone on the morning of May 22nd for a check-in of that day with a stay of May 22nd and May23rd with a checkout on May 24th. I paid for 2 nights of the Romantic Rendezvous package and I asked her specifically over the phone if by booking that package for 2... more

My husband and I planned a weekend trip to Sedona for our anniversary. It's rare we get to travel without our three year old son, so we wanted to stay someplace special even if it cost more than we would normally spend. We came across Amara on one of the popular travel sites and after reading through all the awards... more

The Amara Resort & Spa is beautiful, the staff is amazing and accomodations are first rate! Located in Sedona AZ, there is nothing bad I can say about our 4 days there. It was a girls get-away weekend and we had a terrific time. Weather was cooler than expected, but a sweater would take care of any chilly mornings and... more

We stumbled on the Amara Resort while searching for hotels in Sedona following a backpacking trip down into the Grand Canyon. The price was shockingly low compared to some of the other comparable hotels in the area - sure we could have stayed at Bob's Desert Motel, but we wanted a little higher end stay then that. Dusty, dirty, and... more

I just read some of the previous reviews and am surprised at some of the negative feedback. We stayed here recently for two nights and really enjoyed our stay. We booked into and quickly left the Sedona Rouge, which is located in the West end area of Sedona which we didn't like very much -also the Sedona Rouge rooms have... more

Sometimes it all boils down to staff leadership. Case and point, when you have to spend over an hour to prove that the dinner bill had changed since you signed it - there's something wrong. When the quote in writing for the restaurant credit (package deal) doesn't match the final bill credit - there's something wrong. When you have to... more

When we arrived they could not find our reservation. I told them I'd booked on line, the front desk gave me a dismissive look, as if to say " what do you expect". I booked directly with the hotel!!!!! I had to go to my car to get the reservation confirmation to prove to this ill managed group that we... more

We are a family of 4 with a teen and pre-teen. We picked the Amara based on reviews and location. On the hotel reservation agent's recommendation, we booked a suite for 4 nights. (The regular room would definitely have been too small.) The hotel is in a touristy, tacky part of town, but in a very pretty spot by the... more
