The Wilde Resort and Spa

Some fine details about this resort, NOTE this resort is off a main road and can be noisy due to traffic (which always seems heavy in Sedona) and due to resort design that is open in the middle. Had some company people and a wedding and they made a lot of noise until 12 (midnight) and staff didnt care and or guests either that they maybe loud for others to sleep. Is was our wedding anniversary and we got a small bottle of Procecco and some Lindt candies out of a bag 3 of them to be exact, not what to expect with a resort and what you are paying for. NOTE a $36 a night resort fee that they DO NOT advertise along with occupancy tax, city and state tax and then destination taxes again and this resort is way too expensive for what it is. Not clean, equipment broken (ice machines, steam room in spa, elevator, doors to bathrooms, areas just not kept up at all or cleaned. The wait staff at resort restaurant terrible (Rascal) food good which is a shame but staff terrible, even had our waiter, instead of getting me my food, go into the parking lot to look at a motorcycle of another guest and stay out there for a little time?!?!?! And staff there does NOT seem to care, lobby set away from guests so that there is NO interaction at all as you come and go, seems like a take care of yourself feel to this hotel. The rooms are nice, fireplace rooms are ok fireplaces very dated, and NOTE balconies have no furniture and are so angled that you cannot hardly even stand out there to look at the amazing view that you are paying for. Spa nice but very very small, gets crowed and does NOT have a lot of amentities. Main pool is very small as well, the design and some of the design features are great and every nice, I guess that is what you are paying for. Marketing for this resort is great, and really got us. Our recommendation if you want to pay a high price anywhere from $550-$900 a night for low quality items and service this place is for you. Much better to stay at a Hilton, Marriott, Best Western, I would give this hotel a 2 star rating, it is close to uptown Sedona area with shopping and restaurants, BUT NOTE, restaurants close early 7 and 8pm and some thing s open up late, not sure if due to season and if when we went or not. Better restaurants all need a reservation so be warned and prepared!

comfy beds. restaurant on site. decent spa. modern showers. And with all that seemed dated. pool was a germ fest like a cruise ship. front desk guy was rude

Overall the resort offers excellent amenities and programs. The on site restaurant is first class. I rated them only as average, however, because despite prepaying for the full stay via the group I was with, the resort charged my credit card for the first night. This happened to most of us in the group and we were told it 'was a glitch'. As of a week later, this still had not been resolved.

My husband and I had been here about 15 years ago when it was “The Sedona Rouge”. We enjoyed the experience then, as we did this time. LOVE the restaurant, RASCALS.  We had an amazing dinner there - as well as every breakfast. Great food and service - highly recommend!  The beds were SUPER comfortable - slept so well.  Great sheets & Bath towels. Maid service didn’t come one day until VERY late in the day - so we didn’t have service but just asked for extra towels.  They were probably taking care of rooms where people had checked out, first - and the maids were all very pleasant. Great location - loved that - made it easy to get to some good hiking, restaurants, etc. Really beautiful property - in the back they have a labyrinth for a nice little meditative walk, and about 4 huge firepits - great to hang around in nighttime with a tea/wine and look at the stars!  One night, there was a cool Drum Circle on the full moon night - lots of guests were around the firepit - chants, insightful info provided by the Shaman, it was spiritual and calming.  Loved that experience.  My niece had a 60-minute massage scheduled at the Spa (which is actually a separate entity, under other management, than the hotel). They called less than one hour before the massage to cancel it because the therapist had to leave- and there were no other available times.  She was VERY disappointed. We understand that things happen, but they should have contacted us sooner or found another therapist or found another available time slot.  Instead, my niece went to Gateway Wellness and had an amazing 90-minute massage the next day (for less $$). In the future, we will most likely go there instead of using the spa at The Wilde.). Plus - the Wilde Spa gave us a $50 “no gift, gift” - they credited our account $50 but you had to buy something at the spa for $50+ we didn’t need anything, so we did not use the no-gift-gift! Overall, it was an excellent experience and I will go back again - and highly recommend it - for the value. While it’s not inexpensive, there are other places that are a LOT more $$ - - I would say for the comfort, restaurant, location, pool, spa - it’s worth the $$ and a more cost-effective option compared to a few other places in Sedona.

Our stay at The Wilde Resort was absolutely wonderful from start to finish. The location was ideal, the amenities were top-notch, and the staff truly went above and beyond to make us feel welcome. It was the perfect setting for a family getaway, and we are already looking forward to our next visit. Highly recommended for anyone seeking a five-star experience!
