| - For a vacation, this is a great get-away spot. We rented a 2-BR villa (which was huge!) and included every modern amenity. The Spa was luxurious and I enjoyed a massage and facial (although the massage was fine, it wasn't special; the facial was very special). The pools are extremely clean, towels and sunscreen are readily available. The hot tub (even in 100-degree heat) was enjoyable and we took a water aerobics class, which was run by a serious professional.
It's expensive for sure and we didn't eat in the restaurant. Instead, we had joint dinners with our party (total of 3 villas) and they easily handled 12 people for dinner. The space was great and well laid-out for entertaining. However, for a golf, tennis, hiking and gorgeous mountain-viewing vacation, The Boulders is high on my list.
A word about the staff: SUPERIOR! Everyone was welcoming, knowledgeable and reminded us that gratuities were included (when we tried to tip someone). They responded quickly when we called (a water heater died; it was fixed within a couple of hours and a large spider had to be relocated). You can walk the paths to just about everywhere or they will pick you up so having a car isn't necessary if you don't want to sight-see in the 2-hour-away town of Sedona or Jerome (both of which were fun and extremely different).
I'd go back (and in fact, am doing just that) for a peaceful and enjoyable vacation in luxury.
