San Carlos Vacations from ￥313,664

The Camby has the potential to be a 5 rated hotel for all the right reasons, incl. particularly the staff's communications and efficient, super helpful, professional and caring service, + design, especially in updated spaces, convenience, etc. Standard amenities (hair dryer, personal toiletries, slip free bath mats, and especially small microwave + Nespresso mini) are inexpensive and would be helpful. Though reported daily, our first night (of four), a few smaller but inefficient glitches were just never remedied, despite front desk staff requests on our behalf: leaving us w/no working room phone with easy access to calling for room service, the front desk, or housekeeping directly, for example. Despite requests, revoltingly malodorous, unwashed, unfortunately needed hypoallergenic pillows were replaced but the problem persisted since the pillows were never washed. Even reception staff recommended they could easily (minimally) be covered in liners. (We asked others there too if we were hypersensitive, and everyone agreed that wasn't the case.) And last, the food is inventive and has great possibilities for entertaining and hanging in chill, well done public spaces, but it's heavy and was often served lukewarm or undercooked. Coffee shop closes at 3, too early for a late afternoon pickmeup. Complementary cocktails and snacks-lovely. The pool space is well done and so is the gym. Valet, bell service too-impeccable. Our party of 10 really would return with these improvements.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ One of My Favorite Vacations, Absolutely Beautiful! The Omni Scottsdale Resort & Spa at Montelucia is truly a special place. From the moment we arrived, I felt transported to Andalusia in southern Spain. The orange trees, brick-paved courtyards and walkways, warm terracotta tones, fountains, arched architecture, and beautiful Moroccan and Moorish-inspired details reminded me of the distinctive Spanish style found throughout southern Spain. The entire property feels romantic, peaceful, and incredibly well designed. The spa experience was equally exceptional. Tamara, my esthetician, was wonderful; Devin at the spa reception was welcoming and attentive; and Sam in the salon was fantastic. I also thoroughly enjoyed Pilates, the instructor was top-notch. The entire spa team made the experience feel luxurious without losing that personal touch. And the food was exceptional! I can honestly say I had some of the best pancakes I’ve ever had for breakfast and the best paella I’ve ever had for dinner. The dining experience complemented the atmosphere of the resort perfectly. This was easily one of my favorite vacations. I was so excited to spend time at such a beautiful property, and it exceeded my expectations. Between the Spanish-inspired setting, outstanding spa, incredible food, and wonderful staff, I left feeling completely refreshed. A beautiful little taste of southern Spain in the Arizona desert—and absolutely five stars 10 out of 10!
