Firstly, we did not come here to golf or spa but came to enjoy the Sonoran desert location. We were greeted personally at the gated entrance and then again when pulling up to the bell stand. The desk clerk was gracious and efficient and we were soon surrendering our vehicle and being ferried off to the casita along with our... More

Just got back from 3 nights at the Boulders. Staff were friendly and helpful; golf cart service around property and valet parking complimentary, easy to access and use. Our Casita was ground level of a 2-story building - Noise from upstairs was a little loud, but nothing too bad. The room was large and clean with a very comfortable King... More

We played golf everywhere, including the boulders north the last day.... More

We went with another couple for a long weekend getaway. We all needed some time away from the hectic pace of the holidays, work, and children. Needless to say, the Boulders was just the place to unwind. Upon arriving at the property, we felt like the Boulders were large barriers from the outside world. The staff were all courteous, helpful... More

Just returned from a 3 day business off-site at The Boulders. What an oasis. Loved the setting, the discreet nature of the resort, the way the casitas feel so natural in this nature, the morning sunrise jogs listening to all kinds of birds, watching the sun set from the rocks...and having a real wood burning fire place in my room...

I loved this place beyond expectation, and took a million photos to show friends and family and workmates. Every photo looks like a professional spent time setting up the shot. Our Christmas card is going to feature us looking ultra tiny while rock climbing the huge boulders. We took rock climbing lessons as novices, learned alot and had fun. Highly... More
