Located amidst high Sonoran Desert natural preserves 1.5 miles north of Scottsdale, the resort grounds are filled with towering 20' Saguaro, giant ocotillo, desert wildflowers, and prickly pear cactus. Accommodations are better than home (reserve a Villa) and the staff will arrange popular destination activities such as golf, spa and other adventures. The resort features complimentary morning walks, hikes and nightly campfires complete with gourmet s'mores (try the white chocolate with raspberry compote) and marshmallows. more » « less

We recently stayed at the Carefree Resort for a wedding at a nearby golf course. Let me start off by saying that the negative reviews of this place are completely wrong. We stayed in a standard room at the main building. It was gigantic! We had a very comfortable king size bed, desk area with free wireless internet, and a... more

Sorry, but we didn't have a very pleasant experience here. We stayed as part of a group for my husband's work conference, and they booked our stay. I called ahead to see if there would be a fridge in our room, as we were staying 5 nights. I was told no, but that we could rent one for $20/day. (what?)... more

Yes, the overall property looks retro, but the renovation of the rooms is incredible. The resort room we had was so huge, we were pleasantly surprised. A king bed, large desk and dresser, plus two night stands left plenty of room. Lovely colors have been chosen, Huge quarrytiled shower, and towels that are thick! The bedding is highend and very... more

I'm here for a conference, have to stay for 5 nights. This is only my second night here. But I can'y wait to write a review. The first night I got here, I got a room which looked not very new, just like an average maybe 2-3 star hotel. The lock primary lock of the room did not work, and... more

I stayed here for a conference June 2008, and was utterly overwhelmed by this place. The staff couldent possible be more helpful and friendly, the entire resort was spotless and well maintained. Our villa was really huge, very comfortable, clean and the nearby pool was gorgous. The food was very nice and we had a great variety throughout our stay.... more

This was my first time staying in a "villa" so the size compared to a hotel room was luxurious! These Villas are really cute and spacious which was perfect since we had two small children with us. It was around 1200 square feet with two bathrooms and a garden tub in the master room bath. One downside was pool by... more

What a lovely place to stay. Large , clean rooms, beautiful gardens and pool area.Stunning setting. A nice large bar with ice cold beer. Only downside was the 20 dollars a head for the buffet breakfast. The rest of our overnight stay was excellent, the place is a real gem....as someone else put it. more

I was scouting locations for our company meeting and stayed here in January 2008. While the accomodations were good the staff was so-so. I returned in June 2008 to give them another look see. Well, I found out a new manager took over. OMG! The difference is extremely noticeable and downright amazing. The staff was courteous, helpful, attentive and ever... more
