Just got back from 3 nights at the Boulders. Staff were friendly and helpful; golf cart service around property and valet parking complimentary, easy to access and use. Our Casita was ground level of a 2-story building - Noise from upstairs was a little loud, but nothing too bad. The room was large and clean with a very comfortable King bed and huge bathroom. The fireplace (stocked daily with wood) is a wonderful touch for some of the chillier nights! Was hoping to see some wildlife off the patio, but rabbits and birds were the only active creatures around. We ate lunch once at Palo Verde (nothing too spectacular, $15 for a chicken fajita wrap and fries, would only recommend for convenience) and breakfast once at the Spa Cafe (delicious! loved the granola french toast, $13), we spent all of our dinners in Cave Creek (~5 mins) or Scottsdale (~45 minutes). Since we are not golfers, we picked this resort for the scenery, spa and peace and quiet. The total spa experience was wonderful - HUGE locker room facilities with all the amenities you can imagine. Our 80-min couples massage was pricey, but included about 30 minutes afterwards in the suite with use of private patio, hot tub and steam shower, very relaxing! The gym offers a lot of cardio equipment and many classes throughout the day. I did head over to El Pedregal for a quick pedicure at Salon Mila and as many have stated, the area is VERY deserted (but the pedicure was a better deal than at the hotel and they were able to fit me in last minute; seemed to have a steady clientele while I was there). We did have a slight issue at check-out with our package details and resort credits, but it was resolved quickly and efficiently. If you're looking for a quiet, relaxing trip - this is the right place.

This was the best golf escape with hubby. Spent 4 days at the W in Scottsdale on business and decided to take the 35 minute drive and escape the scene at The W and do a little R&R in Carefree. SO HAPPY we went to The Boulders ..the golf courses were awesome! The Casita's were spacious and a peaceful change from downtown Scottsdale.The fireplace in the casita was perfect on the cool Feb evenings. I had the lavendar wrap treatment in the golden door spa it was AWESOME. I reccomend this if you are looking for a Casual relaxing get away. The prestine grounds natural beauty and wildlife sightings along the way made it a awesome 3 days escape from business in Scottsdale. Look forward to returning again!

we just returned from 5 days at the boulders with another couple and had a terrific all around experience. The service all around was great and particularly impressive was the over the top service we received from the bell stand group and several individuals elsewhere(carol matthews/concierge, Jenny Elliott/front desk). We played golf everywhere, including the boulders north the last day. If I had it to do over again we would have played both boulders courses as the one we played was great.
We look forward to our next visit there.

We went with another couple for a long weekend getaway. We all needed some time away from the hectic pace of the holidays, work, and children. Needless to say, the Boulders was just the place to unwind. Upon arriving at the property, we felt like the Boulders were large barriers from the outside world. The staff were all courteous, helpful and professional. Our Casita rooms were extremely comfortable. We spent long mornings at the relaxing and adult only Golden Door Spa. Unlike other resorts we have been to, classes were free. Our friend paid to get a massage and said it was one of the best he has ever had. The grounds were beautiful and serene. There were no children running around or people getting up early and saving seats at the pool. We watched beautiful sunsets from Sunset Point. It really was the perfect place to unwind and get rejuvenated. We had booked at another resort in Scottsdale and so glad we changed our stay to the Boulders. We are looking forward to returning.
