My wife and I spent the weekend here to celebrate our 20 year wedding anniversary. We were slightly disappointed on a couple of different fronts. Our room wasn’t as clean as you’d expect with a 5 star resort. There was a broken tile in the shower, no chaise loungers on the outdoor patio, spa had ripped wallpaper. We ate at the Elements restaurant one night and had a reservation - we were seated next to a very large group and asked if we could be moved to a quieter table and was told we couldn’t be accommodated. Just disappointing all around experience - great views and location, but property fell short of expectations for the price.

The property is beautiful with amazing views of Camel Back Mountain. The restaurants also had breathtaking views of the Mountain and beautiful landscape. The food and service was outstanding. The spa was wonderful and relaxing. The suites were spacious and beautifully decorated. The only issue is that it is not very easy to walk if you need assistance. Many stairs and hills.

When we arrived we were impressed with the warm welcome and the option to text for service or requests. However, though texting resulted in an immediate text response, there was zero service (requested ice….never came; requested coffee….no one showed; requested cups that they forgot to provide….nada). The room cleaning was below parr - didn’t refill coffee; promised fireplace fuel did not happen, items taken by their staff, from our room, and they placed outside door for 3 days. Food at the restaurant was mediocre, but the salad was fantastic. For $1,800 a night…we will consider other options next time.
