My wife, oops, my fiance and I stayed at the Carefree Resort prior to getting married in Las Vegas. The cloud I refer to is the refurb work they were doing to the main part of the accommodation, our silver lining - we were upgraded to a suite, and when I say suite this was a suite American style. HUGE,... More

We just had an amazing anniversary weekend with 8 of our friends. Loved the rooms surrounding the pools and the great patios. We encountered an excellent staff member, Chris, when we first checked in and he delivered our refrigerators. He continually checked on us all weekend long (I later found out he was their Employee of the Year last year)... More

Carefree Resort is a classic property dating back to the early 60's. However, it has been well maintained and offers a nice break from the large resorts and the long walk to everything. We stayed in room 2235 which was adjacent to the pool access and restaurant / patio. Stay closer to the Lobby if you do not like a... More

The atmosphere is phenomenal and the service is superb. This is a great escape from the busy city life (the resort is surrounded by upscale residential and empty desert so it is very quiet). The rooms are huge with plenty of room to stretch out. The food at the Lariat Grill is to die for. You must try the Lariat... More

This was not the first time I had stayed at this resort but this is the first time I had a problem. A/C went out in my room the first day. They took their sweet time about getting to me. Finally they said they had it fixed. It was finally blowing cold air. I went to the pool for about... More

Just returned from our 2nd trip to Carefree resort, a bit out of the way, but more than worth the trip! Scenery, weather, service, and cleanliness is top rank here, we traveled from Baltimore, just to return to the "seafood buffet"!!! As a former restaurant owner, I can say the seafood was fresh and abundant, excellent wine choices. If you... More

Nice place to relax as well as get work done if you need the conference rooms. You will need a GPS to find it but it is worth the 35 minute drive from the Phoenix Sky Harbor airport. The resort has all the charm you expect from the Southwest. During my stay the cactus were blooming, the moon was full... More

Stayed at this hotel for a certification program. Although our room was not great and our shower curtain was moldy, the food was excellent and the front desk people were extremely courteous and helpful. I would definitely stay here again if I was ever to return to Carefree, AZ.

We arrived late one evening- 11pm. After checking in Daniel whisked us to our rooms and even brought us ice, the ice machine was no where close by. We were very tired coming from a different time zone. It was wonderful to have someone show us were to find our rooms and get our luggage there. At breakfast we were... More
