The Wilde Resort and Spa

The Wilde is at the center of fabulous hiking, views, shopping and all things Sedona! My friend had a spa treatment while I took a Jeep Driving lesson from Barlow's right down the street. The morning meditation was the perfect way to start the day. The grounds are unique. The Stargazing roof top evening was perfection!

Honestly this was one of the worst massages I have ever gotten from Tristan. I wanted a deep tissue massage and I mentioned I had knots in my shoulders and I like very hard massages that get into the knots. Essentially all he did was brush my shoulders with his fingers and not once did he ever check in on the pressure. I figure it was just a warm up and an actual massage would happen, but finally I was so frustrated I told him the pressure could be much stronger and even after that it was barely any pressure. He never again once checked in about the pressure again. It was the worst massage I have ever had. I understand pressure is subjective but that is why every experienced masseuse I ever had checks in. This was such a waste of money and the pressure was non existent. The pool was dirty as well - there was some persons receipt floating around the pool with a bunch of leaves. No one came to clean it. The rooms were old looking, not too clean.

The location was perfect, I was a little concerned when I realized it was off the main drag. However, as soon as you step inside, you are transported! It's perfectly serene with such a stunning backdrop. The room was clean and just lovely. The bed was very comfortable. The spa was wonderful and amenities were usable by all guests (you didn't have to have a service). The staff were super friendly and there were lots of great activities as well. The pool bar had a delicious spicy margarita... so good! The on site restraunt was good, just not great but it's hard to compete with the top Sedona spots. 10/10 for sure!

The resort was a big letdown, it's a 2.5 stars at the most, not 4 stars as the hotel claims. The housekeeping is absolutely terrible, the floor in the room was dirty and furniture stained, stinky toilet, etc. The room is not soundproof, we were on the first floor and there was no decent sleep the entire time. We woke up from people in the room above us moving stuff above us. I felt bad for my husband when we walked in, since I am usually good at research, this hotel was not just way overpriced and overhyped, it was simply not good. The spa was very limited, again overhyped. Location was great, and so is the restaurant on site.

Beautiful hotel with top notch ammenites, located just off the main road but with the backdrop of the red rocks. On check in you can help yourself to a complimentary bag of lavendar. There is a meditation garden, pool, adults only jacuzzi, fire pits, ice machines and water stations throughout the hotel. The hotel is decorated with red stone throughout to match the surrounding landscape, and very clean throughout the property. I had a suncatcher king room that overlooked the dog park, which was a very quiet room in the corner of the hotel. The day I arrived they were offering live music by the pool and stargazing at night, both fee of charge.
