Sanctuary Camelback Mountain Resort and Spa

Very overpriced! Would not recommend. Nice place but not worth the cost. Room rates are very high yet they try to ding you for small things . They should include many extras for what they charge. They seem more interested in maximizing short term profits than encouraging repeat guests.

We visited Sanctuary for the first time last month and had a wonderful visit, we stayed in one of the resort’s villas and it was beautiful, quiet, furnished impeccably, and had amazing views of North Scottsdale. A big plus for this resort is the ability to park your car right next to your suite or villa (which can be a considerable distance from the main reception building and restaurants) as it can be time-consuming to wait for transporting help and car retrieval at other area resorts. The bell staff, which greets you upon arrival in the driveway, was outstanding – they were friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable and were always available with assistance with luggage or directions if either was desired. The only minor nit guests should be aware of is what I’d call nickel-and-diming of little things like a 20% service charge on in-room snacks and drinks. These already contain huge markups (e.g., very small bags of nuts or cookies have a list price of $14 and some liquors in the $100s) and we already were paying a resort fee of $125 (plus 13.2% occupancy tax) per night and it was a bit of a dissatisfier and blemish on what otherwise was a perfect stay. It’s not something that would dissuade us from staying again and I’m not docking the resort’s overall rating but it is something anyone staying here should be aware of so as to not be surprised. It’s such a small thing and immaterial in the scheme of things, but also something the resort of this caliber ought to avoid.

beautiful resort, service is exceptional, they offer rides in their cars to drop you off and pick you up from the shopping center or restaurants. we used this service everyday. Restaurants, spa and pool are great. even played pickleball, wish we had time to try one of their yoga classes

I loved the staff and the spa. All treatment providers were friendly.

The Sanctuary is a lovely property! Our suite was marvelous. Loved the pool and spa, and Elements dinner was delish. The only knocks were the step down areas in our suite - prefer to not have different levels - the natural stone steps in front of our entry were also potential trip hazards because there was a big gap right in the middle. The hot tub in the women’s spa area was out of commission. But other than those things, we loved everything about the property and our super spacious suite. The bed was SO comfortable, and the robes were plush and cozy. Would certainly stay here again.

Service very good. rooms are in dated building. Restaurant very good huge windows, views

Such an incredible experience for my wife and I for her birthday weekend. Room and views are incredible. Food amazing, and the spa was fantastic

Superb staff and attentiveness

The suite was mostly mechanically sound but for time to learn lighting, AC, and choosing not to pursue an improved mattress due to time constraints. However, none of above was a showstopper and mitigated by excellent staff, room design, and overall comfort.

Above the spectacular food, views and amenities, the staff made our stay a true delight. The spa treatment was incredible and everyone went above and beyond to ensure that we had a special experience. We were thrilled to invite friends and family to visit this beautiful resort with us.
