My wife and I had a breathtaking stay at this resort, surrounded by stunning desert landscapes and unique rock formations. Our suite was spacious and comfortable, providing a perfect retreat. We enjoyed the tranquil atmosphere but found navigating through the property a bit challenging at times. Overall, it's a beautiful place to unwind and connect with nature, but be prepared for some walking around the sprawling grounds.

The Boulders offers stunning desert scenery and spacious casitas, making for an overall beautiful setting. Unfortunately, the service fell short during my stay, with multiple issues throughout, especially the unwelcoming front desk experience.
