    LOTS of splatter stains on wall!

    "Hotel" was renovated condo's. I DO NOT recommend this place to stay! ***Room needed repairs and better cleaning! SEE PICTURES*** The positives about our stay: 1. The bed was comfortable. 2. Kitchen was nice with full size fridge, stove & sink. 3. View of mountains from window. 4. Room size was good for 2 people, like mini apartment. It would not work with more people even though it has a sofa bed for 2 more people. Negatives: 1. As soon as you walked in the room you were hit with a STRONG, MUSTY smell!!! Almost like mold or water damage happened. 2. The TV's are dated and need to be upgraded. Also, 1 remote to controL 2 TV's in bedroom & living room. 3. No breakfast provided 4. Resort REQUIRES you to take out trash, start dishwasher, wash pans, clean countertops & place towels in pile on bathroom floor. 5. Questionable guests staying there. People hanging out in the parking lot late at night. 6. Door in the bathroom opened inward and blocked other door to the toilet. So you had to close the bathroom door to get into the toilet room. This was very awkward and with 2 people trying to get ready it made it even more difficult and cramped. 7. Construction going on right by room on the highway. We woke up to 3 sirens going by early in the morning. 8. The couch & chair in the living room were old. The couch sank into the middle and wasn't very comfortable. 9. Room also needs a good cleaning and some repairs!! LOTS of splatter stains on wall by bed. Looked like a soda exploded! Water leak stains on ceiling. Broken/hole in bathtub. Glasses and silverware were dirty. Typically when staying in a hotel we "clean" up to make things easier for whoever is coming to actually clean the room after we leave. We always bag the trash & pile bedding & towels by the door. However, it's never been a requirement & stipulated in a check in sheet that says they will change an additional $250 for excessive cleaning if we don't! I've only seen this in our VRBO stays, never hotels!

    Great view of Golf Course and Skyline!

    Friendly staff, awesome room that comes with a kitchen. Pool, hot tub and adult hot tub that is open late, bbq areas and not Sedona prices but within 20 minutes of Sedona. Would definitely stay here again. 10/10 Pro tip: Bring your own DVDs (they have them in rooms but nothing to rent) or Firestick,

    Spacious unit in AZ that's a approximately a 20-30 minute drive to Sedona. Stayed here with my family during our hiking trip (5 total) and it was booked via RCI. We had two connected units and there was plenty of room for shared sleep spaces. The couches are pullout and the beds are king-sized. Checkin starts at 4pm and checkout is at 11am. There's free parking on the property. There is a fitness center available (some machines like a stationary bike, elliptical, lat pull down are there, but no mats). Towels are available as well. There's a hot tub but it wasn't on during our visit. The pool was also unavailable but since it was December, we didn't mind.

    Beautuful adult only hot tub until midnight!

    The setting has lots of greenery near a golf course, crystal clean pool and 2 spacious hot tubs. Rooms are large but not sound proof, but if you are looking for a vacation where you don't have to lift a finger this is not for you. You are expected to do your own housekeeping including cleaning your dishes and putting your trash in the dumpster and leaving promptly at 11am. The nearest restaurant is in old Town Cottonwood, 10 mins. away, so be prepared to have snacks. They have full sized refrigerators which is very convenient. They also provide laundry soap and softener and a free laundromat on site. I think its a great getaway close to Sedona, but you must leave everything as clean as you found it, not like a hotel that has room service.

    In a great location. Secluded to the rest of the city. Premises very clean and quiet. Room was clean and fully stocked. Parking right in front of our room. I was greeted by the concierge, she was very nice and welcoming. I will recommend this hotel. Hotel was a little pricey, but not compacted to any other hotel rooms with the amenities in the room we got.

    This is a nice place for a long stay. Especially if you're a golfer you'll be in heaven because the golf course is absolutely beautiful. I can't specify more because I'm not a golfer I just saw the view. However, I love to work out and the gym is simply run down like mini hotels. The pool is quite lovely and so are the grounds. There's a nice little sitting area that overlooks the golf course and has fountains and comfortable chairs. However, looks can always be deceiving as one well knows. Our one bedroom room was ample; yet once inside, it always amazes me how the surface looks so clean and the place is so incredibly gritty and dirty. Dust bunnies abounded beyond the surface and behind the couch and under the chairs. Furthermore, the couch looked well used and grimy. The studio one bedroom has a small cooktop and tiny little counter. All the appliances are sky high above the refrigerator in the cabinets. I'm 5 foot four and had to climb up on a chair to reach everything including the toaster oven. Not the easiest place to cook in but still it was a place to cook. The rules also specified for the hotel clientele to throw out the trash and wipe down the counters. It's a little tiring to me when you have to check out at 11 AM and throw out all your own trash and wash all the dishes and so on and so forth. At least the bed was comfortable and the sheets smelled clean. The towels were ample and clean as well. Just an average stay for the appearance that seemed so promising.

It's a little outdated, but it's clean and it pays to have a full kitchen. My only beef really is the gym. It's important to me to work out on the property to save time.

Great if you are staying for several days as the kitchen has pretty much all you need to whip up some homemade meals. The large soaking tub is awesome but unfortunately the jets weren't working so that was a bummer and also there a flickering light in the bathroom that was annoying. The smell in the room was also a little questionable. Not sure if they use cleaners heavy in vinegar but it did have somewhat of a sour funky smell in the room. Carpets were stained pretty heavily as well. With these minor setbacks, it was still a great property and the pool area was nice I just wish they would skim the pool more as there were a bunch of dead bees floating around. Also the pool water is super salty as well too. It must be salt water and not chlorine but I've never seen water be so salty before. I know the review sounds overall negative but the convenience of the large room, great price, and wonderful location it definitely makes it worth it to stay here.

It truly feels like a little hidden sanctuary tucked into the beauty of Sedona. The property itself is absolutely gorgeous. The grounds are beautiful and lovingly cared for, the room was charming and comfortable, and the views were simply breathtaking. There is something about waking up surrounded by Sedona's red rocks and that incredible stillness that immediately makes you slow down and appreciate where you are. I especially loved how peaceful the entire property felt. It has so much more warmth and character than a typical hotel. It feels intimate, artistic, cozy, and almost like you've discovered a secret little oasis. And the breakfast was such a wonderful surprise! Having a beautiful breakfast in the morning made the whole experience feel even more special. The amenities, the surroundings, the views, and all of the thoughtful little details made it feel like a true getaway rather than simply somewhere to sleep.

I would absolutely stay here again and wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone looking for somewhere beautiful, peaceful, romantic, and full of Sedona charm. A true hidden gem.

    HORROR AT L'AUBERGE! 17 hours without a toilet!…read more My fiancé and I stayed there in late July of 2026. A few hours after check-in, we noticed that our toilet was not flushing properly, we called maintenance who quickly sent a technician to resolve the problem. With the toilet apparently fixed, my wife and I went out for dinner and a stroll around town. Upon our return to our room (3106), we noticed that the toilet was still not working and that a room change was probably in order. It was past 10:00 pm at that time, we were tired, so we decided to inform the front desk and deal with the problem in the morning and just go to sleep. That night we had to use the public resort restrooms and so the following morning, with the inconvenience that this implies. The following morning, we called the front desk to let them know that the toilet was still not working and that we wished to be transferred to a room with a working toilet. All we asked was for the same room class of better, which is customary in these situations. Front desk acknowledged our request and started working to "immediately transfer us to a different room". It's now 7:30 am and we still have not heard from the front desk, we go down to the Cress restaurant for breakfast, and we are informed that a suitable room has been found and that all it needs is the approval from the Director of Front office (Sarahlynn Huggins). We again use the public resort restrooms and return to our room awaiting an update. It's now 8:30 am and still no room and no working toilet. We call the front desk, and we are told that a different room has been found but that "unfortunately it is currently occupied by a guest", and that upon checkout & cleaning we can move into that room. Estimated time for this room to become available is between 12:00 and 1:00 pm. This is evidently not acceptable; we needed a room with a working toilet now. Finally, at 10:30 am, a room is being "inspected" after cleaning, and we are promised it will be ready in 20-30 minutes. We go to play pickleball and return an hour later. Still no room and now it will be another hour until is ready! The front desk manager (Sarahlynn Huggins) was extremely rude, disrespectful, unprofessional and unprepared. I requested the General Manager's contact information, which she initially refused to give me and offered the "rooms manager" instead. I insisted and then she proceeds to give me Anthony Loiacono's contact information as the GM. My wife does a quick LinkedIn search and realizes the terrible lie (Anthony is the rooms manager not the GM). At this point the conversation is over. I can deal with incompetence, a bad attitude, but I definitely can't deal with liars. I reluctantly take the downgraded room and move on. We had booked (and paid for) a Deluxe room with semi-private balcony and fireplace. We were placed instead in a tiny room (fishbowl) with lots of pedestrian traffic and zero privacy. No refund is offered by the hotel. I proceed to file a formal complaint and ask for a copy of it, she refuses, then I ask to take a picture of the complaint, and she refuses again. 17 hours later we have a working toilet. This whole interaction goes beyond poor customer service. This place simply fails to deliver the very basic standards of human decency and honesty. Needless to say, we won't stay there again. Enchantment, Ambiente or even Amara provide way better customer service than this place. The case is now in the hands of American Express, who has opened a formal investigation for breach of contract.

    This is a little embarrassing as I have been meaning to write a review for The Wilde Resort & Spa…read moresince my kids and I visited two summers ago. First off, the resort is lovely - we loved our room, the view from our balcony was beautiful & the pool was perfect. Second and even more importantly to me, the staff was top notch, professional & so very kind. Long story short, my kids and I experienced a fairly big hiccup during our trip. On the way to Meteor Crater, my car got a flat tire & I had no spare. This happened on the highway & it was hot. The towing company took about 3 hours to pick us up & tow us to a tire place in Flagstaff where it took another 3 hours to get my tire replaced. Needless to say, we missed our day at Meteor Crater AND I felt like a horrible mom for not having a spare. While we were waiting for the tire to get replaced, I called the resort to ask what time the pool closed that evening in hopes that we could get back in time to salvage the day, mentioning why we would be late coming back. When we finally got back to the resort that night we had missed the pool hours but the nice young lady at the front desk told me they would extend our check out the next day so we could swim. My kids were so happy & really enjoyed their time at the pool. The extra time had already started to help turn our trip around but then when I went to check out, I found out that the resort had gifted us our stay. I was shocked but even more than that, I was touched that they would even think to do that. Talk about going above and beyond. While the resort is beautiful & I would go back for that alone, it is the kindness and compassion from the team at The Wilde Resort & Spa that I will ALWAYS remember.
