We were looking for a great relaxing vacation spot and this certainly met that criteria. Roomy and comfortable and just a great retreat when the day is over. Pool area was great and service was attentive. We loved having a parking spot and no need for valet for our rental car - parking next to your room was a terrific bonus. Views around the property are spectacular being right up against Camelback. Would recommend!

Food menu keeps changing. Priced like gourmet. However food is mediocre at best. Selections odd and not appropriate to time of day. East pool is in poor condition with 2 torn umbrellas and broken tile. Rooms are decent but dark. Good views however. Priced equivalent to nearby 5 stars, but at least a notch or two below. Not a good value Major deficit is the food. Bar does have great drinks.

I had a pleasant stay at the sanctuary, if I had any expectations it exceeded them. From the moment I arrived to my departure, I was welcomed and thought of. The property is beautiful and the location. I enjoyed my suite and everything that came with it. As an Arizona native, it was home away from home. Thank you to the staff and everything that you do.

We decided to do a mini staycation at Sanctuary and it didn’t disappoint. Such a nice property and amenities. The staff was so friendly and accommodating. The dining options were very good with other restaurants just a short drive away. Our room was perfect. Clean and a very comfortable bed. It was also wonderfully quiet. We’ll definitely be back.

This is my third stay at Sanctuary. My first was for my birthday in 2019. Then, we came last year for our anniversary and again this year for our anniversary. My spa experience was excellent. All of the staff at Sanctuary gave 5-star service. The only thing I would change about this visit is the Elements menu. During past visits, we couldn't get enough of the food. It was superb! This year, we ate there only one time and it was okay. Although, the braised collard greens were exceptional, the rest of the meal was average. Additionally, we passed on brunch because they didn't have some of the traditional staples we've enjoyed in the past. Otherwise, another amazing experience at Sanctuary!

I recently had the pleasure of staying at The Sanctuary Camelback Resort in Paradise Valley, and it was an exceptional experience from start to finish. The resort is beautifully nestled against the stunning backdrop of Camelback Mountain, offering breathtaking views and a serene atmosphere. One of the highlights of my stay was the pool area. The pool is not only immaculate and spacious but also offers a perfect blend of relaxation and luxury. Whether you want to lounge in a private cabana or take a refreshing dip, the pool area caters to all your needs. The ambiance is enhanced by the attentive poolside service, ensuring that drinks and snacks are never far away. The restaurant options at The Sanctuary Camelback are equally impressive. Elements, the resort’s signature restaurant, provides an exquisite dining experience with a menu that creatively combines local ingredients with global flavors. Each meal was a culinary delight, and the stunning views from the restaurant added to the overall dining experience. The Jade Bar also deserves a mention for its vibrant atmosphere and expertly crafted cocktails, making it a great spot to unwind in the evenings. The staff at The Sanctuary Camelback Resort truly made the stay memorable. From the moment I arrived, I was greeted with warm smiles and a genuine willingness to help. The level of service was consistently high throughout my stay, with every staff member going above and beyond to ensure my comfort and satisfaction.
