Joya Spa is legitimately world-class (the Hammam is a standout)
Stunning, unobstructed views of Camelback Mountain from the pools
Adults-only Oasis pool offers genuine quiet away from the family crowd
Resumo Rápido: It’s a stunning Spanish village replica, but the 'Old World' charm in the rooms is starting to feel just 'old' in a few spots.
Revisado por @codiscoordinates: I felt like I was walking through a Spanish fairytale here. The views of Camelback Mountain from the fire pits are unreal, and the whole property is just dripping in romance. If you want a dreamy desert escape, this is it.
Hóspedes Que Ficaram Aqui Disseram
The hype
Guests are obsessed with the spa and the grounds, often calling it the most beautiful resort in Scottsdale.
Reality check
Rooms are consistently described as 'clean but dated'—don't expect ultra-modern tech or furniture.
You prioritize a top-tier spa experience over a high-tech room
You want a pool scene that feels like a Mediterranean vacation
You are traveling with a dog (very pet-friendly, up to 25lbs)
Limpeza e Manutenção
8.8
Housekeeping: Daily and thorough. Turn-down service is consistent.
Bathroom hygiene: Sparkling. Deep soaking tubs are a highlight and kept spotless.
Maintenance: Grounds are manicured to perfection. Some room carpets show age/wear.
Linens & towels: High quality, plush towels. Bedding is crisp but pillows can be 'limpy'.
Odors & scents: Signature 'cactus flower' scent in lobby is lovely; no musty smells reported.

Antes de reservar
Bom saber
The 'Joya Spa' access is not included in the resort fee unless you book a treatment
Valet is $35, but self-parking is $30—the $5 savings isn't worth the walk in the heat
There is a 'Good Night's Rest' policy, but enforcement varies during big events
O que levar
Hiking boots – the Echo Canyon trail on Camelback is minutes away
A nice outfit for Prado – it's resort casual but leans dressy at dinner
Room Genie
Melhores escolhas
Camelback View rooms (2nd floor) – the view is worth the upgrade price
Oasis Poolside rooms – strictly for adults, much quieter than the main pool area
Quartos a evitar
Rooms near the Castillo Lucena venue if you aren't part of the wedding
Ground floor rooms near the Kasbah pool (loss of privacy)
Room Request Genie – copiar e colar
“I would like to request a room in the 200 block near the Oasis Pool for a quieter stay. Please avoid rooms directly facing the Castillo Lucena event space due to noise sensitivity.”

5 coisas que deve saber antes de partir
💡The 'Cathedral' hallway to the spa is designed to echo, creating a weirdly spiritual transition.
💡You can play Bocce Ball on the courts near the Castillo Lucena, often totally empty.
💡The 'Joy of Purification' room in the spa has a 55lb quartz crystal you're supposed to touch.
