| - Another amazing weekend at the Montelucia. This may be a long one but they deserved it this time.
My husband and I spent our first anniversary here this weekend and they really took care of us. We were given a great rate and they also upgraded us upon check-in to our favorite area in the resort, in building 1 right above Prado. We had an amazing view of Camelback mountain and spent every evening of the weekend on our balcony enjoying the sunset.
Jessica at the concierge helped me out so much in planning a romantic weekend, she assisted me in booking our room well in advance, came up with ideas for special touches, and answered all my questions. She also came up and said hello while we were checking in. We were also brought a bottle of Prosecco upon arriving in our room with a hand written note from guest relations. What really impressed us was the fact that any of the front desk or concierge we interacted with remembered us by name and commented on our anniversary. I wish I remembered the name of the gentleman that checked us in because he was so helpful and welcoming as well.
As always, our room was amazing, the bed is to die for(I miss it now that I'm home) and we enjoyed exploring the resort all over again. We had breakfast at Crave one morning and Prado for dinner Saturday night. Prado as always was incredible. They won my heart a little bit more for having added Rombauer Chardonnay to their wine list. There was a mix up with having our anniversary cake brought to us and it was too frozen to cut into for dessert, but I appreciated them accommodating us and trying to make it work. Plus we got to have the Prado sundae for dessert instead and oh my goodness was it good. Gelato, chocolate, and bacon. Wow.
Only downside was the pool situation, while better then last year by a long shot, it is still a little out of hand. Understandably they can't reserve lounge chairs but we ended up having to keep our stuff on a couple fold out chairs in the corner that were even too rickety to sit on. Later I happened to be walking by as a family was leaving and snagged a couple chairs. We found out the girls next to us were from ASU and not guests, then their five friends showed up and it all made a little more sense why we couldn't find anywhere to sit. On Sunday we made sure to get there extra early to get the great lounge chairs with the canopy and while we had a group of locals partying next to us again the pool area was much calmer. It was not even enough of a bother to take away a star but it was a little annoying and they could do better at keeping crashers out.
We had an memorable weekend that definitely brought back all the magic of having our wedding day there a year ago.
