| - So my girlfriend and I have been to several resorts in and around Scottsdale and although the priciest, with the Montelucia you truly get what you pay for. It is the gold standard for all of the rest.
Although located near the center of Scottsdale, it feels like it own remote village, like you've been transported to some place in Spain or Italy. And talk about beautiful!
The rooms are the best I have ever stayed in. Enormous bathroom, shower, and living room / bedroom with a balcony. Beautiful fixtures. Truly sensational!
The resort itself is relatively quiet, save for the main pool area, and very picturesque.
The principal downside at the Montelucia is the food. Not a very high standard for the price and location, especially at the Spa. Ask for chicken tenders and you get something McDonalds would be disappointed with for $20-25.
The Spa: We had a couple's massage there, and OH MY GOD!! It was so relaxing, so amazing, I fell asleep facing down and again facing up. I had to be woken up at the end and could barely move, I was so relaxed. A truly wonderful experience and at a reasonable price. If you stay at the hotel, you HAVE TO get a massage!! It is one of the highlights of the stay there. Another one is the roof-top pool facilities in the Spa, after your massage. Much more exclusive than the main pool and more cozy in size with beautiful 180 degree views. Worth the visit by itself.
All-in-all, the Bentley of Resorts and well worth the relatively expensive price tag. Highly recommended!!! Enjoy!
