We never dreamed we would come to Sedona for a four-day getaway weekend and the weather would be cold and rainy! The good news is that our decision to stay at the Adobe Grand Villas has been one of the best choices in accommodations we have ever made! As we sit snuggling by the fireplace in our villa (the Sagebrush Suite) on this rainy Saturday afternoon (when we were supposed to be out on a self-guided ATV adventure) we thought we would take some time to pen a "review-in-progress" halfway during our stay at this amazing boutique property. There is so much we want to gush about, we thought it would be helpful to offer our thoughts in a classic Top Ten format:
10. Centrally located to everything you want to see and do in Sedona. However, when you are inside the grounds of Adobe Grand Villas you feel like you are a million miles away from the tourist traffic and bustle. We loved a partial view of the Red Rocks of Sedona from our balcony.
9. Beautiful grounds and landscaping with lots of outdoor art and pottery. Everything is designed and executed with elegant Adobe/Southwestern flair and blends with the surrounding landscape.
8. An outdoor hot tub next to the pool (towels provided) that is open year-round; the perfect way to relax after a long day of hiking and outdoor activities.
7. Top-notch service. Starting with the reservation request and confirmation process, everything was handled promptly and professionally. Links to local dining, on-site dining menus, activities and on-site spa services were provided ahead of time. We appreciated the short tour of the property when we checked in. Daily housekeeping and turn down service (including ice delivery) was fantastic.
6. Complimentary breakfast for each day of your stay. You choose whether you want to eat in the dining room or have breakfast delivered to your villa. There are also complimentary daily hors d'oeuvres and fresh baked cookies available in the lobby each day around 5pm.
5. Even the smallest of Adobe Grand Villa's fifteen suites measure 850+ square feet. The first apartment we lived in, as a married couple, was smaller than this! If you run into bad weather during your visit (it is POURING rain and really cold in Sedona as we write this), it is a pure pleasure to spend the day relaxing in the suite with the fire blazing and the sound of the rain outside.
4. The on-site chef, Michael, is a gem. Do not miss the opportunity to make a private dining reservation and have him prepare a gourmet meal for you. Choose to have your meal served in the privacy of your villa, or dine in the well-appointed and cozy dining area in the hotel's common area. Meals are BYOB, which allowed us to bring some locally crafted Arizona wine, which we purchased during a visit to the Page Springs Vineyards the day before.
3. The warmth and hospitality of the Innkeepers and Staff. You are truly treated like a member of the family and no request or question is too small or troublesome.
2. The room décor is not only luxurious but also extremely functional. You feel like you are a guest in a million-dollar private home. Our villa featured two fireplaces, top quality sheets, a pair of overstuffed chairs, a Jacuzzi tub in the bathroom, a private balcony with table and chairs. The list goes on and on; it is unbelievable how much thought and passion went into the design of this property!
1. A cornucopia of thoughtful and complimentary in-villa amenities such as fresh-baked bread daily (in your own bread machine), wine glasses, cocktail tumblers and ceramic coffee mugs, tableware, coffeemaker, mini-refrigerator stocked with bottled water and soda, microwave, his & her robes, lighted make-up mirror, XM music channels, free Wi-Fi and lots and lots of outlets to keep all of your gadgets charged.
