We had read some bad reviews in the past few months so were somewhat reluctant to book at the Amara. However because of the good name it has normally had we went ahead with the booking. We were more than satisfied. The room, service and restaurant were excellent. I was told that the Amara had recently changed the management and... more

I'm mystified by some of the poor reviews I've read on Amara. We found the staff gracious, the room--which was one of the less expensive ones--lovely, the food delicious, and the grounds beautiful and relaxing. Each room has at least a little patio of its own. The pool is, as some have said, a little small, but it's enough for... more

My wife and I booked a long weekend in Sedona at the Amara. We saw some mixed reviews after booking so we decided to give it a shot anyway. I travel a lot on business and stay at all types of hotels, so I had my reservations. I must say the Amara delivered and then some! I checked in and... more

I thought this was a high end hotel and spa but found it to be no more than a two star motel. The restaurant and bar was closed monday and tuesday ( two of the three nights we stayed) and there was no staff to aid us on arrival or departure. The driveway is so steep and long that it... more

I enjoyed my week-long stay at the Amara around the Thanksgiving holiday. The staff, especially Dora, were very helpful and friendly with hiking and restaurant suggestions. The breakfast buffet was good and free- enough to get the day started (eggs, bacon, sausage, waffles, cereal, juices, tea, coffee, pasteries, etc). I took the 8 AM yoga class and had no trouble... more

Stayed at the Amara because our friend was getting married and the rest of the wedding party was there. On the plus side, the grounds were pretty and it was near the downtown. On the downside, well, there were just too many negatives for me to recommend This place. The rooms were very expensive and were not pretty or luxury... more

As a single mother, full time college student, and caretaker to my 85 y.o. mother who has Alzheimer's, I was in desperate need of some stress relief, nurturing and pampering. I chose the Amara based on their onsite yoga and spa services for de-stressing. I traveled the 60 miles from my home to their property. The problems started when I... more

Sedona is a beautiful part of the world and the location of the Amara Resort blends well with this wonderful town. The Resort is very conviently located right in the middle of town, so great location - able to walk to a large selection of eateries. We booked our room the day before direct via the hotels website for US$190... more
