Location was amazing, the staff was also great while there. Loved the hot tub with mountain and stars view. The bar made great drinks. The waitress who served us during the in between hours guac and drinks had a great attitude suggesting the right drinks for our taste. The maid staff was also very responsive. The golf cart drivers were very helpful as well. My spa masseuse was very good....she deserved the pre-added gratuity. The creek behind the resort was a big plus.

I did NOT like that we were referred to Zeus transportation to get from FLG to Amara, i think it was Nikki who told us to do that. I would say to suggest getting uber/lyft before Zeus. When we got to Sedona we were able to find uber/lyft rides for half or even less the amount so that is how I got back to the airport. The bartender did take awhile for me to get any water when I came to sit with my friend there. It was unfortunate I didn't have cash to leave the maid staff even though I tried to break my large bills. The bed was too sunken in I couldn't sleep comfortably and our TV screen had a strange video line horizontally straight through the middle of the screen.

We spent 6 days at Amara the week of Christmas. Pros: Amazing staff-- especially the valet staff who were always quick & courteous. Valet is included with your stay. We ate at Salt Rock twice & the servers were attentive & the food was delicious. We especially enjoyed brunch on Christmas Day. We had a ground floor suite with balconies facing Oak Creek. The views were lovely & it was great to enjoy coffee or tea while taking in sunrise or sunset. There's an Illy pod espresso maker, mini fridge, electric tea kettle, & they provide toiletry essentials like toothpaste, toothbrush, floss, swabs, etc. It's a quick uphill walk to the main street with all the uptown shops & restaurants. They offer golf cart rides up the hill for people with limited mobility, but we never needed it. The location was excellent. We even walked to Elote Cafe. Great communication & text reminders from housekeeping asking if you need anything if, like us, you keep the 'do not disturb' sign on during your stay. Kind & understanding reception staff who tried to remedy a noise problem.

We had booked an upstairs suite, but we're "upgraded" to a downstairs junior suite. The suite was large with a separate living area & two bathrooms with 2 balconies. However, the noise coming from upstairs each night was awful. There is not enough insulation at all between floors. The first night, children were running for hours & sounded like they were pounding the floors. The subsequent nights, you could hear when guests opened & closed sliding doors, walked or rolled suitcases. We've never stayed in a place where we heard every movement upstairs, even while wearing earplugs & and leaving a fan app on high. I really liked this hotel, but I would not recommend staying on the ground floor.

The view from the room to the creek was amazing. The room was spacious and had everything we could possibly need. The location is great, and the valette service was fast and convenient. The restaurant was good too, although quite expensive.

The corridor was long and required exiting and reentering the building twice and going down a few stairs before reaching our room facing the creek. The doors' paint was scratched and cheap-looking.

The views were great and the facility was clean and comfortable. The staff was helpful as well.

The facility needs to up the vibe at the hotel. The bar area needs a better sounds system and a cool playlist. Outside they need to pipe in some cool Sedona type music… flutes etc. I think this will help to create a very special experience.

Perfect location for access to the uptown shops. Amazing views of the red rocks from the resort. Our King bed was amazing and the pillows were perfect.

You need more shelves in the bathroom. Add one to both sides of the sink and another one in the shower. When you come for several days to a week you like to leave some of your items out on a shelf and not on the vanity counter.

Lovely rooms and outdoor sitting area.

I would avoid rooms 326,328 and surrounding rooms if you like sitting outdoors on balcony /patio. These rooms have pathetic patio facing fence and air conditioner. I was very disappointed because I picked the hotel so I could view the mountains from my room and have coffee. Very bad rooms for that and at $700 a night very disappointed.

Our room was great! Our balcony looked onto the creek, which was very nice. The location was very convenient to walk to shops and restaurants on the main street. Nice cozy sitting areas.

It would be nice to have a dedicated walkway/path to/from the main street. If you don't use the golf cart ride, you have to walk up and down the steep driveway and navigate the cars. Also, for a pet friendly hotel, there isn't much area for pets to go the bathroom.

Friendly and helpful staff. Beautiful property in a great location. Our room had a patio overlooking the creek with great views and lots of wildlife. Valet parking was easy, our car was ready whenever we needed it.

Only issue we could see was a safer way to walk up the hill to the Main Street. The road is winding with blind curves, and no sidewalk for pedestrians. They do offer a golf cart shuttle, but if you walk the short distance it can be dangerous.

Excellent place and enjoyed our stay. The restaurant is excellent. Our only complaint was the smell in our room. It smelled like wet socks or dog or sneakers. We suffered through it because we didn’t want the bother of moving and we were gone all day. That said, it wasn’t pleasant, especially for the room price.

The staff at Amara are outstanding. Special thanks to Brianna for coordinating our transportation perfectly. Jose Aviles was attentive to all our hotel needs. Kudos to Tony and Valentina at Salt Rock for their daily hospitality.
