Best Resorts in Sedona

Sitting in central Sedona, Arizona, less than a mile north of the Tlaquepaque Arts and Crafts Village, the L'Auberge de Sedona Resort & Spa offers guests a peaceful getaway without sacrificing an in-town location. Recent visitors praised the resort's relaxed setting along the banks of Oak Creek and describe the lodge's guest rooms – complete with contemporary furnishings and high-tech amenities – as cozy. The resort also contains individual cabins with private porches or patios, as well as fireplaces for those who need a little extra room. No matter which type of accommodation you choose, you'll be treated to luxurious Italian linens, Illy coffee makers, complimentary high-speed internet access and L'OCCITANE bath products. Travelers also give kudos to L'Auberge's customer service, saying that everyone – from the spa therapists to the waiters at the Cress on Oak Creek restaurant – was extremely friendly. Don't miss the opportunity to experience the property's indoor/outdoor wine bar either. Just beware that everything here, from the parking fee to the service charge, is quite expensive.

Although it's about 9 miles northwest of central Sedona, the Enchantment Resort is a hit with recent guests thanks to the peace and quiet afforded by the property's secluded location. The Enchantment's accommodations combine traditional Southwestern decor with contemporary amenities like flat-screen TVs and high-speed Internet access. Some even include fireplaces, kitchens and outdoor dining areas. Recent guests appreciated the resort's attention to detail and outstanding customer service, praising the extra efforts made – like having cold orange juice delivered every morning – to ensure a comfortable stay. When you're not hiking through nearby Boynton Canyon or exploring the surrounding Vortexes, take advantage of the resort's pools, tennis courts and golf course. For a complete spa getaway (and some serious relaxation), the adjoining Mii amo Spa offers several rooms of its own, as well as a long list of treatments. And when you need to refuel, the resort features five on-site eateries including a wine bar.

Located just north of the Tlaquepaque Arts and Crafts Village, the Amara Resort & Spa features a more contemporary atmosphere than other Sedona resorts. Guest rooms are outfitted in stylish furniture with bright accents that mirror the nearby Red Rocks, and all accommodations are decked out with pillow-top mattresses, spa-quality bath amenities and patios or balconies. Visitors appreciate the resort's convenient location and the views of beloved landmarks like Snoopy Rock, and the hotel concierge can help arrange opportunities to explore the area by Jeep, on horseback or on foot. The Amara's facilities also earn high marks from visitors, who rave about the views from the outdoor infinity pool and the on-site restaurant. Just beware of the pricey daily resort fee when you book your stay at this resort.

Tucked within Sedona, Arizona's Village of Oak Creek neighborhood, the Hilton Sedona Resort at Bell Rock appeals to golfers, couples and relaxation-seekers. At this sprawling resort, visitors have access to an 18-hole championship golf course, swimming pools and hot tubs, a fitness center and the 25,000-square-foot eforea: spa, where treatments incorporate organic, locally sourced ingredients. What's more, this Hilton outpost – which participates in the brand's Hilton Honors loyalty program – offers two on-site eateries, including an upscale grill with Southwestern dishes and a casual cafe. Both venues received high marks from recent diners for their friendly servers and tasty (albeit expensive) dishes. After filling up, retreat to one of the property's 221 accommodations. Each guest room and suite features soothing colors, local artwork and natural elements like wood and granite, plus a gas fireplace, a kitchenette, an HD TV, a balcony or patio and internet access (use of which is covered by the daily resort fee). Then, head off-site to snap pics of Sedona's famous red rocks at Red Rock State Park, which sits approximately 17 miles away.

Recent guests say this Sedona, Arizona, resort is a steal. For the modest price they paid (compared to other nearby resorts), many recent guests couldn't believe the value they scored. Though the standard room rates are attractive, guests highly recommend reserving upgraded accommodations (such as the Poco King room) to enjoy in-room fireplaces and patios or balconies, some of which overlook the red rocks. Regardless of what you room type you choose, you'll be rewarded with comfortable digs, according to lodgers. Accommodations feature Simmons EverNU Beautyrest mattresses, flat-screen TVs, complimentary wireless internet access and Nintendo gaming systems. Guests also enjoyed the resort's location away from central Sedona, saying it afforded a more peaceful experience. On-site, guests have access to a fitness center, a spa (a guest favorite), an outdoor pool, a golf course, tennis courts, bike rentals and two restaurants. Food in particular stood out for its value. Visitors found the fare at T. Carl's Restaurant, the 10th Hole Bar & Lounge and room service to be delicious and affordable. Travelers were also complimentary of the staff's friendly demeanor and top-notch service.
