Miraval Arizona

We love Miraval and have been coming here for years. The staff is amazing, the mindfulness and calm energy are wonderful. The location is wonderful. In the spirit of striving to always improve on a good thing, here are a few areas of improvement: 1. Maintenance. The men’s spa area had several “out of service” signs up for the full duration of our stay. The sauna in the same area did not heat up properly and the steam room intermittently did not work requiring service workers to come and fix it. 2. Cell phones. Many visitors ignored the no cellphone use area signs and had them out all the time. People had laptops open in one of the restaurants. We love the no cell phone aspect of Miraval. Suggest that the staff do more to nicely ensure that people follow the policy. Or if that doesn’t work, perhaps remove signs from some the areas if the guests simply won’t follow it. 3. Name tags. Why do you make the instructors and staff wear name tags? It make the seem like they are associates at a retail store or workers at Disney. It goes against the feel of the resort.

we had been to Miraval twice in the past and much better experiences. The room we were in appeared to be in need of maintenance. the shower floor was moldy and at the very least was in need of re-grouting. the cushions on the living room sofa was pretty nasty, stained and worn. The food was very good and the dining service was mostly very good, also. The spa service was a bit of a disappointment. My past experience was much better. I had been to Miraval twice in the past and the spa service was not up to par since my last visits. Overall, I may have a hard time convincing myself to return.

An amazing solo getaway to recharge and reflect. I had high expectations and they were exceeded. As a solo traveler, I easily met new people, including many other solo travelers and had no trouble keeping my schedule as busy as I wanted to be. I do recommend booking experiences early, but the experience planners were able to review my schedule upon my arrival and make a few suggested changes, which were helpful. Highlight experiences for me including a few morning guided hikes, NAGA Thai massage (Amazing!), neuromuscular massage, equine experiences and the out on a limb physical challenge. When booking my experiences, if I could do it at home, then I tried not to book it at Miraval and this proved to guide me effectively. I found 4-5 activities/experiences a day the right balance for me, as it also allowed for some downtime at the beautiful facilities. I was pleasantly surprised as just how excellent the staff was. Everyone I encountered seemed to truly love their job and it showed. Pack for several outfit changes a day, but keeping it casual is all that is needed. I returned home with a full cup and look forward returning!

It was my 1st visit to Miraval and I loved every minute of it!!! I stayed for 4 nights and it was the perfect amount of days for me. From the front desk staff, Vanessa is the best, to the restaurant staff, Angelica rocks, the spa experiences, loved all of them, I can’t say enough about this place and the team! My room could was fine, maybe could use a little more updating, but it was clean, plenty of towels, plush robes and bedding and I was fine with it. I barely was in the room except to shower and sleep anyway! But the view was nice by the river and the fountains. I thought the food was great, smaller portions, but enough between the buffet and the menu options. Plus the coffee bar with the snacks, unlimited smoothies, juices and coffee drinks was amazing! There were also light snacks in the late afternoon at the Coyote Bar. I thought the classes were going to be too short but it was actually enough so I was able to take 4-6 classes/day. I especially loved the equine classes, the bee class with Noel, the more spiritual classes with Rae Jessie and Janet, the more educational classes with Michelle, Leah, Kiley, and Carolyn. I learned something new from every class I took! I can hardly wait to go back!!

Awesome experience. Everything is first class. So much to do. 2 nights is not enough!! Food is great! Pleant available all day long.
