Clear Sky Resorts - Bryce Canyon - Unique Stargazing Domes

My husband and I were longing for a place that was a dark sky destination so we could see all of the stars at night and hike in beautiful scenery during the day but we also wanted something that was not camping. Clear Sky Resorts in Bryce Canyon delivered on every level of expectation! The location was only 20 minutes from Bryce Canyon so we could easily go for hikes. The domes were clean, and comfortable, even with our cold nights the heaters worked well! We laid on our bed in the warmth and coziness of our room and gazed up at the dark starry night in admiration of God’s creation! I loved how quiet and private our stay was and how accommodating the staff were to our every need. Finally, there was a wide variety of food on the menu in the restaurant so we could try something new each night of our 4 night stay but we decided to return to our favorites the final evening! Each dish delighted our palates and we were extremely pleased! And being able to bring our own wine, with a small corking fee, was a great bonus, although, my husband did enjoy their Old Fashioned’s. We also were able to dine in one of the Snow Globes one night which was great for a warm and private evening. The Star Gazing guide was funny, knowledgeable and engaging. We learned quite a bit. Overall, I was highly impressed and we definitely want to return, so much so that we toured their larger domes so we could bring our children in the future!

Could be so much better. They claim to be a 4 star hotel but charge 5 star prices and deliver 3 star service. Location-it is not near Bryce. It is not near anything. Check in- The front desk gave us a dome number and code to get in but upon arrival, it was not cleaned and ready. We returned to the front desk and waited 10 minutes for them to send someone to verify if another dome was in fact ready. WiFi-There is ZERO cellular reception and their WiFi reminds me of dial up internet. It’s slow and intermittent to the point that it is aggravating. There is nothing around and no TVs so on cloudy nights there is nothing to do but cuss at ClearSky’s WiFi. Their WiFi is a mesh system and our dome was requiring 7-13 jumps to reach us. I know this because their WiFi is minimally secure. On the Ubiquity app I could see the 70+ devices using the WiFi and their local ip address, the main Dream machine, switches, and other devices. The guests and admin are on the same network. Maintenance- The shower doors do not seal so you get water in the bathroom floor. It must be a problem in all the units as there is an instruction in their room info book to put the shower mat directly against the door. Our main dome door latched and locked but I could see daylight through the gap as it didn’t seal so cold air seeped in all the time. Restaurant-I’ve had better service and food at Applebee’s. They initially brought out 3 of 4 entrees and apologized explaining that there was an issue with the 4th. One waiter stood in one spot and called out the item waiting to see who ordered what and then handed the plate out. This was the case also 4 or 5 minutes later when the 4th dish arrived. My daughter clearly was the only one missing an entree but he says “the salmon”, and hands it to her across the large round table. Keep in mind they are charging $40 for salmon on white rice covered in sweet chili sauce. The setting was nice but service was 2 star at best. The staff- Everyone we met was polite and friendly but I think they probably just need more people.

Incredible experience. The staff were very friendly and accommodating. The domes are well designed, and every little detail has been thoughtfully considered. The large bathrooms and heating kept us very comfortable in the cold weather. The restaurant has some of the best food in the area, along with a great coffee shop. The stargazing was amazing, and the staff member who led it was very knowledgeable.

The resort is beautiful, unique property and the sky domes look very cool, but the experience fell short —The WiFi was very poor, and even in the large dome with kitchenette, there were no utensils or kitchenware provided. There was also a leak in the loft area of our dome, which was concerning. Restaurant service and food was good, though my drink was initially forgotten. We experienced a power outage for about 20 minutes on our first day. We also asked to reschedule our 8am yoga, but it was incorrectly changed to 6pm (not 8am like requested), then somehow not scheduled at all—so we did not get the chance to do yoga entirely. A café food discount was offered, which was appreciated. Great idea and visuals, but service coordination, maintenance, and amenities need improvement for the price.

Our two night stay at Clear Sky Bryce Canyon was simply fabulous! I cannot say enough nice things - don’t hesitate one second to make your reservation if you love the outdoors while still needing clean and comfortable, luxury accommodations! Where to begin… we arrived at night, and the sky was crisp, clear, and just full of stars! You can just look up in marvel either outdoors or through the dome structures. They also have experts on hand to explain if you want to make an educational moment out of it for yourself or the kids. The inside of the dome we stayed in was gorgeous, I loved the design features, the quality of the bedding, the amenities within our space from the complimentary tea and coffee to the options for heating and cooling to the warm water in the spacious and modern shower. And a super clean refrigerator! We had most of our meals on property in their restaurant - everything was delicious, a perfect mix between hearty and creative. Oh, and I was just about to forget about the morning yoga classes as well as other on-site activities. I’ve probably written way more than you are wanting to read, but I could go on and on! This is a unique experience with many of the natural wonders of southern Utah in close proximity. Truly spectacular. Thanks to the great staff and the talented guitarist/ flautist named Aaron! !

The trip was amazing and I want to write a positive review because the staff was so great. (Eddie and Jenna were ones that helped us). They upgraded us to a better dome because it was available, and they kept giving us suggestions for how to make our stay the best it could be. Gave me an extra blanket when I was cold for stargazing :). They worked with us in everything we needed and were crazy friendly. The room and scenery and stars were SO beautiful. The moon was nearly full, which made the stars less visible than otherwise, but even so, we were able to see incredible things at the star gazing event - like the colors of Sirius and the Orion Nebula! Going to bed under the stars and waking up to that view in that unique setting was amazing

We were absolutely blown away by Clear Sky! The dome was incredible — very comfortable bed, A/C, great privacy with automated curtains, and a surprisingly large bathroom. Everything felt thoughtful and well-designed. The on-site restaurant was excellent, and our horseback riding experience was a highlight — our guide was knowledgeable and made it both fun and memorable. Yes, it was a little on the pricey side, but the scenery and overall experience made it worth every penny. We only stayed one night before heading to a glamping tent in Zion, which turned out to be a huge disappointment compared to Clear Sky. If we had known, we would have happily stayed here another night. Our only disappointment (not Clear Sky's fault, just Mother Nature) was that it had been overcast all day so we were not able to see any stars at night. It was a risk we took and unfortunately the stargazing part didn't work out for us, so definitely plan to stay a few nights to get the full experience of stargazing. Seeing the Milky Way would have put this experience over the top, but it was still fantastic. We’ll definitely be back — next time for longer!

My husband and I had the BEST time! Rooms were clean, beds and pillows super comfy and staff were amazing!|The view and clear skies are incredible. We saw so many shooting stars and constellations! |Staff were incredibly kind and helpful and were easily accessible via text or in person. ||The shower is amazing and the fridge is a bit bigger than the mini fridges you may be use to in a regular hotel. There is also a decent sized freezer if you bring ice packs for a cooler or other items||Keep in mind, you are in the middle of know where with dust and dirt, so the WiFi could be a little spotty and the floor in the dome was concrete for easy cleaning, but none of this was a bad thing for us.|It was great to disconnect. The location was very close to multiple hiking sites including Bryce Canyon and Willis Creek Slot Canyon.|We will definitely visit again!

Clear Sky is the most unique place we have ever stayed. The Domes are really incredibly. You can tell that a lot of planning went into the design of this resort. The beds are very comfortable and the shower jets in the shower are an added amenity. The Sky Nova restaurant is a great place to enjoy the view of the mountain and the food was delicious with a lot of variety. I encouraged everyone visiting in this area to plan a trip to Clear Sky.

After seeing the various social media posts about Clear Sky, we decided to bite the bullet and give it a try. We traveled with another family so we ended up booking their largest dome, the Andromeda. Upon arriving at the property, it felt like we were in a sci fi film with all the dome habitats. The roads entering the property were gravel and were fine for our SUV and sedan. We found the front desk dome and the check in process was pretty straightforward. We received a binder with some information about the dome, our door code, and then drove a short distance from the main dome to our dome. We entered our dome and were amazed at the size of the interior. There was an adequate amount of space for our entire party. The beddings were nicely set up and the bathrooms were clean and neat. There was a nice "living room" area for us to congregate in. Unfortunately, after getting settled, we ran into multiple issues that negatively impacted our overall experience. First off, though the first floor was nicely cooled from their AC units, the second floor was very warm and was very uncomfortable to stay in during the day. We blasted the AC on the second floor all day and it never got cool enough until late in the evening. Secondly, the dome itself had a lot of imperfections and issues. There were holes drilled and filled on the steps, shower stalls that didn't self drain and required us to "push" the water into the drain, showers that would drip all day, the ventilation window that would not open (which then trapped hot air in the dome), and the AC in one of the bedrooms dripped water throughout our entire stay. We talked to the Frontdesk about the ventilation window and the dripping AC. All that was done was the removal of the broken motor from the window and for the dripping AC, they just placed stacks of towels under the AC unit to catch the water. Though they advertised WiFi on the property, the WiFi was effectively non existent. The only "reliable" WiFi was in the main Frontdesk dome. In general, this wouldn't have been too much of an issue, but the only way to reach the Frontdesk from our dome was to call them. But with no cell reception and no WiFi, we had no way to reach the Frontdesk. We ended up having to drive to the main Frontdesk multiple times to raise issues and to get supplies. Oddly, with what little WiFi we were able to get in our dome, the only messages that came through were all the text messages from Clear Sky marketing their additional activities and amenities. We did end up having dinner at the property and at least that experience and the food was good. We sat outside in the evening and the weather was great for outside dining. We did talk to the front desk about our key issues and we asked what they could do to make up for the issues. Their only offer to me was complimentary breakfast, but oddly, only for half of our party. For a "luxury" resort and for the price we paid, they could have at least offered to cover our entire party. The individual who I raised the issues to said that they would leave a message for the manager to contact me. But unfortunately, I never receive a call from the manager. Overall, though the dome was a unique experience, I am not sure that Clear Sky met the expectations that they had try to set especially given the price of their accomodations.

I saw this place on Tik tok & had to book it for my 5 year anniversary & I was planning on proposing, so what better way to stay in a romantic dome! Everything was great. Finding the place was easy. Check in was smooth. Getting into the dome was easy. Comfortable bed & room. Loved the floor to ceiling glass. Very romantic. The restaurant was yummy, food was delicious, & the drinks hit. I'm glad everything was open, I read some reviews that said the restaurant & bar were closed for renovations. The complimentary smores & fire pit was a great ending to our first night. I took off a star because for the money you pay per night , I felt like it was overpriced. 1) there's no clear signage entering the building. No sign for check in desk, or what to do when entering the restaurant / bar area. Everything was uhhh where do I go? 2) the service - our server & the bartender were nice, however we were checked out pretty quickly, decided to have another drink & enjoy the live music, our server was nowhere in sight to ask if we can order another, or if they needed the table to move to the bar. Once we moved to sit at the bar, we didn't get acknowledged for a good 10 minutes. There were employees in front of us, but not one asked if how we are, if we needed a menu, etc. 3) we wanted a coffee the next morning, entering we had no idea where to go, if the coffee area was even open, no coffee menu, etc. it was all weird & confusing. 4) the vibe during dinner service, very meh. Like not up lifting at all. Maybe it was just me, but the vibe was very meh. 5) the construction in the dome wasn't done very well, as in, you can see imperfections. Looks like it was constructed fast. All in all, experience was great, but over priced. Hoping they change the ambiance as time goes on.

The concept is fantastic - glamping under the stars. Accommodation was excellent. We had no problems in our room dome #15 & # 12. Food service has a lot of room for improvement. Our first server when we arrive 4/11 for dinner doesn't seem very happy with her job maybe because she's exhausted. They are obviously shorthanded. None of the mocktails or cocktails in the menu is available. They have canned drinks though. We ate inside the reception dome with our food served in Styrofoam since their restaurant is still under renovation, which they warned us several times before we arrive. If you order their steak, ask for a real spoon and fork as they will give you plastic serveware for your $$36 (before tax and tip) strip steak ‍. That being said, if you have early plans, try to eat breakfast someplace else cause they might not have enough server and cooks for early breakfast. I came for the experience of sleeping under the stars and it did meet my expectation in that aspect. Be mindful of when do you wanna visit because the concept is in the desert expect the dome to be either very hot or very cold. In our case during April, it was a pleasant weather, and the temperature of the dome was just perfect during night time for sleeping. We didn't stay at the dome during the day, but I can feel the heat by 10 AM even with the AC on. 4 stars for the great concept and comfortable bed, functioning room and bathroom equipments.

Clear Sky Resort has such a beautiful concept, and we were so excited for our weekend. The domes are unique and cozy with great views, though there were a few small details missing that kept it from feeling fully five-star. The staff seemed nervous when we arrived, and while Erik did his best to guide us, the overall service could use more polish and guidance -- even something as simple as a warm smile from the staff would go a long way. For a $500-a-night price point, the experience isn't quite at five-star level yet. Even though you get to lay underneath the most beautiful stars, there are some minor improvements needed to match the cost. Our dinner in the private dome was just okay as well, but our waitress Jazzy was fantastic -- attentive, warm, and really made the meal enjoyable! We also loved the one-man band at the welcome dome; he really added to the vibe. The biggest improvements would be more smiles, better training, and clear staff identification, like name tags or uniforms, because I honestly couldn't tell who was staff and who were guests. Despite that, we still enjoyed our stay and really hope to see this place reach its full potential. With a few improvements, it could absolutely become a five-star experience!

My family really enjoyed staying here and loved the unique experience. The dome was super cool at night, and we could see the stars while relaxing in the evening. The loft was great for the kids and they liked having their own twin bed while also being able to see the stars. Our shower leaked and the sink faucets did too a little. The main dome flooring was cement which I thought a bit odd, but it wasn't horrible. Their main restaurant was closed but they did have mini domes for a private dining experience. That night was super cold so they had a mini heater in the dome. However they weren't able to zip it up due to a fear it would tear the dome. The food was pretty good, but it was freezing during the entire meal! They were also out of a lot of items on their menu. Overall we liked the place and would probably stay there again. Definitely something to try and experience!!

Great experience!! Having the astronomer was fantastic. Good dome placement and features.

I have mixed feelings about this hotel because i think it has some real potential but it missed on some areas that drag it down. This is a resort that wants to be 5 stars and they are absolutely charging 5 star prices, The problem is the resort is not yet ready to deliver a 5-star experience. I stayed here for two nights over Thanksgiving. The staff I interacted with did everything they could to make my stay enjoyable absolute kudos to them. Price - as mentioned its a 5-star price, we got an introductory rate and it was still around $500/night. This in itself isn't necessarily bad or wrong if the experience matches the price. Food - The resort has it's own restaurant that is space themed and looks awesome. Unofrtunately the food was only OK and on one of the nights service was glacially slow. On the first night we were the third table to be seated. We ordered drinks and our meals (two steaks, medium rare). The drinks came out with no issue but we waited for over an hour for 2 steaks and they were both over-cooked and under-seasoned. They comped us a second drink for waiting so long but thats a long time for underwhelming steak. Night two was Thanksgiving and they had a holiday special with turkey and fixins. The turkeay was maybe the best i have ever had, really good. Unofrtunately the mashed potatoes and gravy were cold, not like they had been sitting out, actual cold. Really dissapointing. Accomodations - I love the idea of the dome and being able to see the stars all night. it's awesome. However I think this project like many has fallen victim to budget and they cut corners everywhere they could. Our shower leaked water onto the bathroom floor, like a lot. We put towels down to capture it but really thats' not a 5-start experience. Also in the bathroom I found holes in the walls where the contractors made a mistake putting in the shower enclosure. I also found gaps in the door jamb to the bathroom that look like they should have been sealed with silicon but weren't. The room was either too hot, or too cold. They give you instructions on how they think you should work their HVAC system but i don't think it can handle the big swings of desert temperature. The main door jamb into the room had holes where light/air/water could easiy come in, likely the reason it was too when we turned the heat off. Also the clocks in the very fancy bathroom mirrors stayed the same exact time for our entire stay. For the price it wasn't up to my expectation, the idea is great and we loved sitting out watching the stars but I wouldn't pay $500/night for this unless i was assured that they had fixed their issues.

TL;DR -- This place has so much potential but there were some glaring deficiencies that really ruined our stay. It just feels like someone with a hospitality management degree needs to step in and clean house. At nearly $600/night, it was insanely overpriced, even with a "soft opening" discount. I really feel like I was scammed. CHECK-IN: We arrived an hour before check-in after a long day of driving and hiking at Bryce, hoping our room may already be ready (but not necessarily expecting it to be). When we walked into the main dome, not one of the four staff there acknowledged us and when we did ask for help, we were scolded by Christine (manager? front desk clerk? hired grump?) for attempting to check in before 4pm. (We weren't remotely angry that we couldn't check in early; in fact, we barely were able to say anything before she yelled at us.) Her attitude unfortunately set the tone for the rest of the stay -- I could've forgiven a lot of the other things but she really ruined our evening. When we did finally check in, a much kinder, younger man gave us our room code & dome number and after I asked, let us know where to get dinner and return for stargazing later that evening. That was the extent of the information we received. ROOM: We learned very quickly that the hot water runs out rather quickly in the shower (unfortunately during a shower). This wouldn't have been as big of an issue if we had been warned. There were four different remotes to operate various fans, lights, curtains, etc. and very little instruction. (Not everyone is tech savvy enough to figure such things out, so it would be nice to have more detail.) The bed was quite comfortable, and the views were quite wonderful, though. It was also nice to have a larger mini-fridge but the kitchenette is otherwise pretty limited (microwave & kettle only). STAFF: While everyone (except Christine) was generally pleasant, it did feel like this place was mostly staffed by college kids working a summer job. Maybe it was a first job for a lot of them, but there was a real lack of understanding of how to run...anything let alone a resort. They weren't especially communicative and seemed fairly uninterested in helping guests. The stargazing clearly wasn't going to happen as heavy clouds had rolled in early, but they kept guests waiting until literally the last minute before sending a cancellation text. FOOD/RESTAURANT: The food was actually really good despite a somewhat limited menu. I was a little bummed to see a whole set up for ice cream sundaes only to find out they had no ice cream. And for some reason our coffee was served in to-go cups in the morning (there were regular mugs in our room so we know they existed). Our server for dinner was absolutely wonderful, though. (Molly, I think?) But when we walked in for breakfast the next day a few minutes after they opened, those working looked at us like we were crazy. (Someone even said, "Do we have a cook this morning?") This place was so disappointing. I wish I could recommend it because it was really beautiful, but until they get their staffing issues fixed, it's a big nope.

This place was fantastic! The stars were amazing. The pod was everything I wanted it to be. Our gripe: the dinner service was super slow and the dining room was closed. However!! Our server was super polite and gave us a discount as a result of the slow service (without us complaining). The night time view more than made up for the dining. Pro-tip: maybe bring a head lamp if want to do a late night stroll. Also the room gets a bit toasty in the late morning. Would love to visit this place again!

Excellent service and staff from the start. Very welcoming, showed each aspect of our stay to enjoy the most of the experience. We had clear skies and beautiful views from our dome!! We had dinner at the restaurant- food was superb, we chose the bison burgers! Light staff but exceeded our expectations and we definitely will come back for this again!!

Very cool experience and unique. Domes are very nice, comfortable beds and the restaurant food was very good. We had the burger and the pasta. It did take a little long to get our food, but it was good. Nice fireplace outside and free smores. The onsite Astronomer and telescopes were a nice touch too. Room appeared clean and we did not use the shower, but it appeared very nice. Overall it was a great experience and I'd recommend. We paid $510 for one night, which was a bit pricey, so I'm not sure it was worth that, but very unique for a one timer. We might come again if they lowered their prices a bit.

That was truly one of the most calming and enjoyable experiences I've ever had. From start to finish, everything was perfect. The employees were incredibly welcoming and attentive, making us feel right at home. The food was absolutely delicious, with so many thoughtful details in every dish--it was clear that a lot of care went into crafting the menu. The facilities were top-notch, offering such a clean, comfortable, and relaxing environment that made the experience all the more special. I couldn't have asked for a better time. Thank you again for hosting us and providing such an unforgettable experience. I'm already looking forward to coming back in the future!
