Amara Resort & Spa

We spent 6 days at Amara the week of Christmas. Pros: Amazing staff-- especially the valet staff who were always quick & courteous. Valet is included with your stay. We ate at Salt Rock twice & the servers were attentive & the food was delicious. We especially enjoyed brunch on Christmas Day. We had a ground floor suite with balconies facing Oak Creek. The views were lovely & it was great to enjoy coffee or tea while taking in sunrise or sunset. There's an Illy pod espresso maker, mini fridge, electric tea kettle, & they provide toiletry essentials like toothpaste, toothbrush, floss, swabs, etc. It's a quick uphill walk to the main street with all the uptown shops & restaurants. They offer golf cart rides up the hill for people with limited mobility, but we never needed it. The location was excellent. We even walked to Elote Cafe. Great communication & text reminders from housekeeping asking if you need anything if, like us, you keep the 'do not disturb' sign on during your stay. Kind & understanding reception staff who tried to remedy a noise problem.

The view from the room to the creek was amazing. The room was spacious and had everything we could possibly need. The location is great, and the valette service was fast and convenient. The restaurant was good too, although quite expensive.

Lovely rooms and outdoor sitting area.

Friendly and helpful staff. Beautiful property in a great location. Our room had a patio overlooking the creek with great views and lots of wildlife. Valet parking was easy, our car was ready whenever we needed it.

Excellent place and enjoyed our stay. The restaurant is excellent. Our only complaint was the smell in our room. It smelled like wet socks or dog or sneakers. We suffered through it because we didn’t want the bother of moving and we were gone all day. That said, it wasn’t pleasant, especially for the room price.
