“Our favorite Phoenix area resort!”

This is our third time at this resort. We love it! It's a bit far from Scottsdale, Mesa, and Phoenix, but manageable. We love the rural nature of the area - beautiful southwest surroundings! There is a wonderful restaurant with superb service at reasonable prices on site.

“A Wonderfully Pleasant Desert Resort”

Spring training trip. Resort up in the foothills and not centrally located, but within driving distance of baseball parks. I was pleasantly surprised. Spectacular desert scenery and wonderful night sky. Expected a smaller room, but got one of the villas. Wifi was available and appreciated. The only minor complaints: small TV and ice not readily available in the room, although there was a small refrigerator for storing soda. A chair or sofa would have been nice to have, too. Restaurant food and service was very good, except for hard dinner rolls on one occasion.

“Will recommend to anyone, will be back again!”

Beautiful setting, wonderful meals and great people, who could ask for more. Thank you for making my oh-so-short stay wonderful!

“Gorgeous!”

Our room was clean and comfortable. The resort is awesome. The grounds are beautiful and the staff is very attentive. The night we got there we sat around a campfire until midnight with the activities director (a Hopi Indian) who told us Native American stories and legends. He gave us some great travel advice for our trip to the Grand Canyon, too. The pool kicks butt! We had a blast and we will definitely go back. The only negative is that we had an awful meal at the restaurant/bar on the grounds. Stay away from the pulled pork;it tasted like shoelaces. Walk or drive to the town of Carefree. It is within walking distance (drive if it's too hot) and they have great shopping, and great cafes and restaurants.

“Very good hotel would stay there again”

The location, hotel staff and rooms were all excellent. The hotel restaurant was also very good and the staff there was friendly as well. All in all a great place to stay. As with all places in Phoenix, you will need a car.

“lovely peaceful stay”

Everything about this resort is nicely thought out, and the staff couldn't be more helpful. There is a bit of a stroll from the villas to the main complex but it's a nice walk. Nice breakfasts and we appreciated the free in room wifi internet. We'll be back...

“Nice place for a weekend getaway”

We live in the Phoenix area and have stayed in almost all of the 4&5-star hotels. We spend 2-nights at the Carefree Resort and had a nice relaxing weekend getaway. The hotel staff was very accommodating - letting us look at 3 different rooms before selecting the one we wanted. Spacious rooms! Clean and well decorated. Private balcony was nice at sunset, happy hour, and morning coffee. The breakfast was surprisingly good (huge portions) at a reasonable price. Excellent hotel roonm rate, relative to other 4&5-star hotels in the area -- would stay there again.

“Out in the boondocks”

I knew where the resort was when I booked it and its price relative to other hotels closer to Scottsdale made the drive worth it. The staff was fine and the rooms were great. I was just there to sleep as my schedule for three days was quite full, so I can't comment on any amenities or restaurants/bars, etc.
