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.

Lovely Stay

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.

Beautiful views. The room was comfortable. I found the property confusing to navigate. There should be a sign to mark where the lobby is. I wasted time parking, asking at the spa, and going back to my car to figure it out. The restaurant was delicious. The steam room was not hot enough. Staff were lovely.

Common areas, fitness center, spa, restaurant, etc. were immaculate. Housekeeping services for room were generally excellent, with occasional lapse. Overall, the people make Sanctuary Camelback a wonderful experience. Every member of the team works very hard to make sure their guests have the best experience possible. Even though the onsite restaurant is excellent, there was no "selling" when we asked for recommendations for dining in the area, and those recommendations turned out to be terrific dining experiences.

My husband and I were so excited to stay at this resort. I had seen it on Instagram and also saw its wonderful reviews. We were very disappointed with how dated this resort was. Our room was right next to a custodial closet where all the housekeeping would gather and get their materials. It was super loud and doors were constantly opening and shutting. We have stayed at almost all the resorts in Scottsdale and at this price point I was expecting top notch. The pool and hot tub both had a green tinge to it which means there was no way we were getting in. We ordered breakfast room service and not only did it take over an hour it was not even that great. A two egg breakfast with a glass of juice times two was over 100 dollars for something I could have made tasting way better at home. Overall not impressed and would not recommend this place. Staff was nice and grounds were pretty.

This is a lovely property with very attentive staff! I do think the property could use some updates. The spa for example could use some updates. Also, given the price I think a turndown service would also have been nice. Overall, nice hotel/ great staff!
