I went here on Sunday to have lunch our by the pool and I have to tell you that this place is a hidden gem. It is the old Carefree Resort that got a $40m renovation and it is beautiful.
It is like a new, but retro type of ambiance. Jonathan, who's title is Bellhop is a great host and story teller of the resorts history and he has been there for over twelve years. He showed us a few of the newly renovated suites and they are quite nice. It is peaceful and quiet and quite an impressive resort. It has a very nice restaurant and bar, a spa that is being renovated and they have Hamburger Night on Thursday's. They have a saloon that now serves breakfast and cocktails and has great views. It's got a nice workout facility and the staff is very friendly.
People need to know about Civana. I will most definitely be going back and I highly recommend it to anyone in the valley or for a destination for travelers.
