| - Scottsdale has several high end resort to choose from for a weekend staycation, but you still feel like you are in Scottsdale and in a hotel. The Boulders on the other hand, you feel like you have traveled far to get the privacy and resort feel that you feel. The best Staycation ever!
The casitas were amazing! This was the biggest difference between staying out here and staying somewhere in Scottsdale. There is no one attached to you left, right, up or down. You either have someone above you, or if you have the top casita, then someone below you. The rooms themselves are massive. They include a sitting area, desk, flat screen TV hanging about the fire place, walk-in closet, vanity set, big deep tub that can fit two people, two sinks, nice shower, and of course, the toliet. The outside patio has a table with two chairs and one lounge chair, which was nice to use at night because you can see the stars so clear up there!
Yes, we were probably the youngest people there, but who cares?! You're there to relax, not party it up like you are at the W pool. I think the staff is trained to smile and say to everyone. During one of our little ventures out there were three waiters carrying trays that we walked by and all three of them took turns saying 'hi' to us despite the previous gretting 0.25 seconds earlier by their co-worker. Nice touch. We didn't have problems waiting for the golf cart to escort around and loved that they offered that service. There were two pools that we visited. The pool in the Golden Spa is 18+ only (no, its not top optional, just adults only) which was nice. We opted to head down the street for some good old fashioned Italian food at Alberto's instead of checking out the three dining options located on the resort property.
I loved this resort and would recommend it to any trying to stay in Phoenix, but get away for the chaos.
