BEWARE: Targeted Attempted Robbery…read more The Joy Sedona is an undeniably stunning property. It has spacious cabins, incredible layouts, and is set beautifully right by the creek. It is exactly the kind of serene luxury retreat you expect when visiting Sedona. However, the absolute beauty of this property masks a dark, predatory reality. Please read my experience below: Every night, my wife places her highly valuable jewelry--including her stunning engagement ring and expensive diamond gold earrings--on the nightstand next to the bed. On our first morning, we woke up, all the jewelry was still there, we made coffee and walked 25 steps down from our cabin to that gorgeous creek to enjoy the morning views. Because we were in a secluded, luxury style area and only intended to be gone for a few minutes, we just left the jewelry on the table (around 9:00am). We were gone for about eight minutes but that brief eight-minute window was all it took for the illusion of paradise to shatter. When we returned, the ring and both earrings were gone. After tearing the room apart for over an hour, my wife finally, out of sheer desperation, checked the small trash bin next to the toilet. Deep inside, perfectly placed on top of tissues, was her jewelry. (I am attaching a video of my wife showing exactly how she found the jewelry buried inside the bin--obviously she wasn't filming when she actively was looking, so this video was taken a few moments after she found her jewelry, showing how it was staged). It was immediately clear to us that this was not a case of misplaced items; it was an organized, targeted attempted theft. The staff had scoped us out from the moment we arrived, targeted her high-end jewelry, and watched our movements. The second we stepped down to the creek, they made their move. The strategy was simple: hide the jewelry in the trash so that we would assume we lost it. Then, during standard housekeeping service, they would empty the bin and walk away with the items. By staging it in the trash beforehand, the perpetrator ensured they wouldn't have the stolen goods on their person if we immediately called the police, and could claim they never entered our room because it was technically before housekeeping cleaned the room. Shockingly, there are zero security cameras on this expansive property--a convenience that clearly serves those working here. When I confronted Michael, the Director of Ops, he promised a "serious investigation." Yet, the very next day, the exact same staff members were walking around the property as if nothing happened. Michael then offered us two insulting options: stay and receive a 10% discount, or leave with a refund only for the remaining night. We never once asked for a discount, a refund, or money. We only wanted justice and accountability. When I made this clear, Michael abandoned logic and maliciously stated: "The other option is that you falsified the story." When I asked him why I would fabricate a robbery when I was refusing any financial compensation, nor had I asked for any compensation at any time, his response was: "Well, sometimes people do things that don't make sense." That is when it became a disturbing question--is management in on this operation? Michael's handling of the situation and refusal to terminate or suspend the suspected staff points directly to a potential top-down cover-up. It seemed he didn't want an investigation; he wanted to protect the scam. We spoke to the guest in the cabin next to us to warn him. He revealed he and his wife stay here frequently, and last year, he remembered that his wife "lost" her necklace and simply moved on thinking she had lost it. Do not let the beautiful, open creek-side views fool you. This is not a luxury business; it appears to be a coordinated theft ring masquerading as a high-end retreat. Management appears to be actively shielding--if not leading--the exploitation of their own guests. Avoid this place at all costs unless you want your privacy violated and your valuables potentially stolen by the very people running the property.

We recently stayed at the Luxury Creekside Cabins, a new addition to Sedona Views. It is truly one…read moreof the most special places I've ever stayed. Tucked away along Oak Creek in Sedona, it feels like your own private nature sanctuary, or Secret Garden-- The cabins themselves are stunning. Each one is beautifully designed with organic, calming interiors and has unique features like mini kitchens and walk in rain showers, fireplaces on the patio, and many more beautiful custom touches. I stayed in the Lao Tzu cabin, which was one of the roomiest cabins with plush king sized bed, sitting area, kitchenette, and gorgeous tiled bathroom with dual sinks and walk in rain shower. There's no Wi-Fi or TV, which honestly made the experience better. It gave me time to really slow down, connect with myself, and enjoy uninterrupted time with my partner. The peace and quiet here is unreal. We also loved that a wall panel controls the opening and closing of all of the drapes - which means you can surround yourself with the shifting light of nature, or have complete privacy and darkness. Breakfast is delivered right to your door each morning -- all organic, locally sourced, and honestly better than most restaurants. Our first morning we had yogurt, granola and fruit, organic hard boiled egg, carafe of organic OJ, a very berry French toast, and a house made donut. It was delicious! They also offer amazing add-ons like charcuterie boards, wine, s'mores kits, and picnic lunches. We took advantage of the s'mores kit and roasted marshmallows on the beach on property at night with the propane firepit set up out there. Loved it! The grounds are beyond gorgeous -- over 8 acres to explore, filled with wildflowers, fountains, and private seating areas. You can truly feel the thought and care that went into every detail. Even the building craftsmanship and interior design is next level. Best part? If you book before Sept 1, it's only $269/night (such a great value for what you get). After that it goes up to $399/night Booking link: https://us2.cloudbeds.com/reservation/YBnr0u#promo=10! If you're looking for a real escape -- to reconnect, recharge, and remember what peace feels like -- this is it. Cannot wait to come back.

It's just like having a house in the Red Rock mountains with a beautiful private patio situated off the bedroom/family room and kitchen. It has a beautiful fireplace positioned in front of the bed on the patio side. The small kitchen has a stocked refrigerator, sink, microwave, Keurig coffee machine and K cups with a beautifully set table done every morning with large coffee mugs. Wine glasses and drinking glasses available. There is a bread machine that the staff uses to come in the villa and made is bread in it every day. The smell when we came home from a hike or exploring Sedona was a slice of home with ready to eat bread. The bathroom was huge, rustic and elegant with an extra large Southwestern tiled shower. It had a sunken bathtub for two with a fireplace on one side to give it an even cozier romantic vibe. A large rustic wood closet that followed the rustic vibe of the whole villa was situated on one wall of the bathroom. The outside of the villas had a pool and hot tub for warmer months and a stocked refrigerator for water and sodas. Help yourself. The main building of the villas had a warm sitting area with a fireplace and Christmas tree for the holidays. The office for the villas was in the building as well Gourmet breakfast was served every morning in this building off a menu with choices that change everyday, included with price of the villa. Very quiet eating area like eating in someone's dining room. In fact everything was included in the price of the villa. The staff was like family. Isobel who coordinated our stay also set up our dinner reservations in advance as well as mapping out where to hike and places not to miss. She made this trip a huge success for us. The property is situated down the road from beautiful Thunder Mountain where we could literally walk to and hike. Lastly they have a massage room to book a professional massage tailored for your needs. My wife and I both did a massage. Remarkable!!! This property and accommodations is perfect getaway and so relaxing. Definitely not a "hotel" atmosphere. Not what we wanted. Slowed me down to regroup before bringing in the new year. We will be back to wind down here again.

We loved the jetted tub and the bathrobes were so soft. There is a wee kitchen with a frig and microwave. The TV was nice. We did not use it often. They have free WiFi. What we really loved was the charging station for our cars. We were with another couple. Each morning we had a wonderful breakfast. They also have fresh cookies. It is located in beautiful Sedona, one of our favorite places in Arizona. Everything in Sedona is expensive, so we love the few time we are able to go. The staff was very nice and helpful. They have a beautiful pool. We were very happy.

I've been waiting to post a review now for a few weeks to allow an outstanding issue to resolve…read moreitself but it has yet to, so here is my overdue review of our stay at Las Posadas. We booked a one night stay, just as quick overnight out of town (we live in Phoenix). We came up to hike and then headed to check in. When we arrived, we thought the property was charming. It had a nice relaxed vibe about it. It was also close though to restaurants, bars, shopping, and gyms to just walk to. When we checked in, the front desk woman Katherine said she had been up to our room a little while before we had arrived and it was "pretty warm", so she told us she turned the air on and it should be cooling down soon. Even though Sedona was having a heat wave, it wasn't that hot from what were used to in the valley. We went up to our room and "pretty warm" was an understatement; it was downright toasty! We closed all our curtains and blinds to help the room cool faster (even though it negated the "room with mountain views" selling point), but nothing was happening. After about an hour, the temperature just kept combining up. We called the front desk and they said they would send someone over. The first person came and stared at the panel for a few minutes, then left and said he was looking for batteries. Ok. Then, a second guy came and dismantled the panel and left. The first guy came back and was like "what happened here?" And we told them someone else came and took it apart. Then he pulled the entire unit off the fall and left. This revolving door of maintenance workers took about an hour. We were thinking of just going home because staying in the overheated room was not at appealing. We could sleep in 86 at home for free. Katherine told us to come to the lobby to cool off for a it, offered us a free bottle of wine or champagne, but we don't really drink. We were really tired for hiking all afternoon, but we said we'd go to dinner and come back and hopefully have some sort of option. Finally after a few hours they told us the cooling unit was frozen over from being overworked and we'd need to change rooms (not upgrade; we weren't asking for that). We had asked before and there weren't additional rooms, but something opened up. We were happy to move. There was a credit Katherine said she was going to take care of and not only was it not refunded, we were double charged instead and despite multiple calls after our stay, the issue is not resolved 6 weeks later. Anyway, when we got to our new room, it was much cooler luckily. Our bed was actually very comfortable and we were finally able to relax after a long, hot, and frustrating day. In the morning, my husband went for a hike with the pass he was able to check out from the front desk. When he got back, we went down to breakfast together which was said to be a "really nice, made to order breakfast". Who wouldn't want that? Well, that is definitely not what we got. There was one man working and doing everything by himself for a dining room full of people. We could feel the hangry tension as soon as we walked in. There was no hot water or coffee, no do it yourself toast options, no takeaway items, or anything. I had to go back to my room to use the coffee machine, our mugs and get water. This guy was trying his hardest but we just kept wondering why he was doing it alone, or why he couldn't put the bread and toaster and muffins out for people to just grab while they waited for their breakfast tacos. He didn't have a ticket system either or queue; just write it on scrap of paper. Several people left but we waited it out. Our breakfast tacos and muffins arrived and we looked at each other like you do when you eat at a friend's house and don't want to be rude, but also don't want to eat what's in front of you either. We tried to eat what we could and then took our dishes back to our room, then walked to Bosa across the street. We saw the AC repair truck had arrived too. We really wanted to like our stay at Las Posadas, but maybe we just caught them on an off weekend‍.

As we're cruising down the main street we passed The Inn Above Oak Creek and noticed they had a lit-up vacancy sign. We immediately went in and met with the inn keeper who offered to let us go see the room before we committed to booking. This is THE cutest little 13 room inn set right on Oak Creek. There is seating down by the creek, on the patio off the main room, and inside the main room itself that all have great views. Our room was very spacious with a 2-person sized bathtub and a fireplace! It had truly the most comfortable bed I've ever slept in away from home. My husband was obsessed and wanting to know how we could copy it to have at home. Both of the inn managers were so kind and took such good care of us. You could feel how much they care for the inn and value their guests. There's always coffee and water set out. They have homemade cookies in the afternoon and homemade muffins in the morning. They have a bookshelf with various options for reading and a large selection of movies. On the coffee table, they have binders full of recommendations for trails and exploring the area. It was such a cute and intimate place to stay. I'd recommend it to anyone traveling to Sedona and I'd love to stay here again! We truly couldn't have found a better place to stay for Valentine's Day. We felt so lucky to have gotten a room here.

As you see in the pictures, the mattress did not fit in the bed frame and I thought that was a very tacky and unsafe. It was about a 6 inch gap all around and I was afraid that I would forget and step wrong and hurt myself. Also, the chair in the master bedroom Had a screw poking out that was uncomfortable so we did not use that chair. Lastly the only meat options on the breakfast menu was a chicken sausage, and it was very sweet like maple and I personally did not enjoy it. Now that I have told you my dislikes, here are my likes. The scenery was beautiful! We did the honeymoon suite and each door in it (the bathroom,bedroom, and living room each had a door that opened up to the patio/outside.) listening to the creek was nice! They have a gazebo as well and seating on the porch with blankets. They have a microwave and mini fridge and they provided grapes when we arrived. Day 2 they provided cute little chocolate mousse desserts. For a refresh/turndown, you text the concierge. The tub was big and deep definitely fit 2 people. It's my understanding that the honeymoon suit is the only one with the separate living room/bathroom/bedroom set up. I liked the space and separate rooms, which is why we picked this particular room (Also, just an FYI, looking at the pictures online, it looks like the furniture in the honeymoon suite is outdated/Victorian style compared to the other rooms that they have, but expected this going in because I looked at the photos ahead of time). I would consider coming back here, but for the price, the mattress needs to fit the bed frame
