This was our 2nd trip and if anything it was even better than the first. The greeting you get when you arrive, borders on a religious experience. I don't know where they find these people but they are awesome. This was the theme throughout our stay with every one we met, from the concierge to the waitstaff in the restaurant.... More

When arriving at this resort, immediate tranquility. The view from my room, higher up on the mountain, stunning. Dined in the restaurant, food was delicious, service on the mark and the view, like no other. Enjoyed the spa, very relaxing. I will definitely return when I need to recharge. More

My boyfriend and I stayed at this resort in July... one might think that it would be intolerable in Phoenix at that time of year, but Sanctuary made the entire place feel calm and romantic (though it was still hot). The rooms are wonderful and very private. You will have a very individualized experience here in a very welcoming environment.... More

We stayed at the Sanctuary and had a really peaceful visit. We liked that the resort allowed us to call one ofour favorite local chinese restaurants and have them deliver directly to our room. That was a huge perk for us, since we dont get to that area of town frequently any more. The resorts in room dining was great,... More

Over the past 5 years this has been my go to property when I go to Scottsdale. Not only does the breathtaking vista from each of the rooms, the abundance of other amenities like the infinity pool and the awesome tennis coaches makes this resort hands down winner over other properties. Added plus is that they are dog friendly and... More

My wife and I had a "staycation" and out of the many options in the Phoenix area we chose Sanctuary. We could not have picked a better destination!!!! From the moment we arrived we were greeted by four or five happy to meet us greeters who said they would take care of anything we needed and that was appreciated but... More

We just spent a 24 hour getaway to the Sanctuary to celebrate our anniversary. Although, we had a relaxing time, I don't think I would look to come to this resort again for the price. We stayed in a Spa Casita which we found to feel "cold" and not near as inviting as other resorts nearby, such as Montelucia. Our... More

Just got back from a terrific 3 day weekend at Camelback with just my wife and had a blast. We stayed in a mountain suite which was huge and had picturesque views. Our suite was literally the farthest possible spot from the main building, but the walk was nothing ... maybe 3 minutes. I did not go inside the spa... More

We spent a precious two nights at the Sanctuary at the end of a long road trip and were met with palm trees, infinity pool, a luxurious suite and views of the rugged Camelback Mountain just behind us. The Sanctuary met everyone's wish list: Relaxing by the pool, laps in the lap pool, early morning in the exercise room, a... More
