My husband and I along with our son and his girlfriend (ages 21 & 19) flew from Toronto to L.A., drove the Pacific Coast and then drove to Sedona for the amazing scenary and tranquility of the red rocks. I have been before, but this trip was amazing.
All along the coat of California, we stayed in upscale hotels, offering the typical continental breakfast. You get in the line up and pile your plates. You hear the kids running down the halls at all hours of the night, you hear the doors slam when people come and go and there always seems to be a train track close by.
At Las Posadas of Sedona you will get none of that. You enter your private villa type residence where you have an amazing view of the red rocks. We had a suite with a fireplace separating the bedroom from the living room. A jacuzzi outside for the 4 of us was perfect. No noise, no trains, no slamming of doors and right at the junction to the town of Sedona.
The best part was breakfast the next morning. You enter the most beautiful part of this villa and a chef cooks a 3 course breakfast for you. We started out with coffee, fresh fruit, granola and yogurt. Then he came with a home made peach tart (warm) with pumpkin seeds and the 3rd course was a spinach/cheese/egg fritatta which was about 3 inches high by 4 inches wide, along with sausage and fried tomates. This meal was amazing. The entire time you are eating you are listening to the most beautiful, peaceful music.
You don't have a fitness centre on the premises or a pool, although you can use a facility across the street. You don't have room service options, but there are many wonderful inexpensive places to eat 5 minutes away. You don't have maid service knocking on your door at 8:00 a.m. to clean your room. Everything is peaceful and at a slow pace. Free parking and free internet is also available.
If you want to be with the 100 people fighting for the last runny scrambled eggs at the Best Western and the kids loading up their pockets with apples, be my guest. But if you want to be looked after, have a peaceful sleep and amazing food and service, book this hotel. The rates were comparable to other 4 - 5 star Sedona hotels. We haven't stopped talking about this one night stay.
We will definately be back and will refer all our friends and family to this lovely resort. Thank you for everything.
