Sanctuary Camelback Mountain Resort and Spa

Wonderful stay and great staff. Highly recommend.

Amazing restaurant, dinner was outstanding! Bravo to Chef!!!! And service as well, 5 stars

The name says it all —this is a true Sanctuary. From the moment you step foot on this resort, whatever stress you are seeking to escape will soon be melted away. Sanctuary Camelback Mountain has it all -- incredible views, luxurious rooms, impeccable grounds, tasty food, and to top it all off, a staff that understands how to provide a true luxury experience. You can tell everyone enjoys working there as they are always smiling, kind, and friendly. For the active crowd, there is a great fitness center that has everything you need for training, with a great lap pool outside as well. Add in tennis/pickleball courts, full spa, steam room, yoga/pilates studio and more, you can keep yourself busy for longer stays. Location is perfect as well as it is incredibly quiet while being just a 10-15 min ride to most of what Scottsdale has to offer. As the saying goes, you get what you pay for -- and Sanctuary is worth every penny. Highly, highly recommend.

Everything was perfect.

My wife and I just returned from a weeklong stay at Sanctuary. It was our 2nd visit, the first being 3 years ago. There were a couple of things about this stay that would probably keep me from returning but first, the good things about the property because I do want to be fair. Sanctuary is an absolutely beautiful property. The grounds, the pool, the spa, all of it is perfect. From the front desk to the waiters at the bar, restaurant, and the pool, the hospitality is 10/10. I also cannot say enough about the spa. My wife and I both went to the spa twice during our stay and the treatments were amazing so is the spa atmosphere. Everything we drank and/or ate was really good from sushi at Jade Bar to morning coffee and everything in between. Now for the two things that left a sour taste in my mouth. First, nowhere on their website or on any of the emails I received just before the trip was it mentioned that construction would be ongoing on property during our stay and about 100 feet from the pool nonetheless. My idea of a quiet weeklong getaway is not the sounds of jackhammers, saws, heavy machinery, diesel generators, and the incessant beeping of vehicles and machinery backing up. This went on all week and we were told construction would take probably 3 months. Not much of a sanctuary. We stayed at the pool for 2-3 hours every other day but could not take any more than that. I would not visit for the next three months period. Also, I’ve never stayed at a hotel that did not announce construction on their website. That is very deceptive. Second and lastly, the thermostats in the room only go down to 70 degrees. The problem with that is the thermostat is not in the bedroom so the bedroom never really cools off very well. The rooms at Sanctuary are brick and not very well insulated. The ac ran 24/7 and the room never quite felt cool, especially the bedroom. A resort that presents itself as luxury should allow guests to at least sleep at a comfortable temp. Again, I would not stay there during the summer months if you prefer a cool room. While I cannot say enough good things about the people and amenities at Sanctuary, a warm room and no warning about construction on their website will have me looking elsewhere on my next trip to Scottsdale.

The views were breathtaking, the pillows were soft, the bed was super comfy, the food was delicious, and the customer service was impeccable. I will definitely come again because it was all so amazing, and I left feeling refreshed, renewed, and rejuvenated.

We’ve been twice already. Always amazing and so peaceful. Our favorite place to stay!

The property itself blends beautifully with the mountains of Paradise Valley. The room had every amenity and convenience you would ever need. Everything is the highest quality, sheets, towels, robes (super soft). For me, what made the experience really special was the people that work there. Truly a unique and special experience. I’ll absolutely be returning! Special shout out to Charles at Jade Bar who navigated 5 of us with ease and grace!

Five Stars across the board!!!

This was a beautiful resort. The grounds were beautiful. The bed was very comfy with plush pillows. I had a massage and it was so relaxing and the Spa was beautiful and very clean on the inside. The workout facility was really nice with new equipment and my husband really enjoyed his workout each day during our stay. We had the Mountain Suite King which was a beautiful view. The food at Jade and Elements was excellent. I would highly recommend this resort to couples. The staff was so welcoming and always made sure that are needs were met during our stay. If you are wanting to leave the resort....they will transport you to areas such as Scottsdale Fashion Square, Old Town and any other area as long as it was within the assigned radius.
