Arroyo Roble Resort

My partner and I stayed for a week — Jan 18−25^th 2016. We own a time-​share there. I was actually a little taken back with outdated rooms. Kitchen– refrigerator, stove and coffee maker, the cabinets and décor.
The ice tasted horrible. There was a box of baking soda in the freezer BUT it wasn’t open lol. So all my drinks tasted bad. I thought there would be one room with double beds. But they were twin beds. The TVs were way too small. I am hearing impaired so I need to see the captions but the TVs are way too small. I loved the fireplaces, however, they were dangerous to operate. The fire would just burst out and scare you. I almost burned myself. One of them was making this high pitch squeal. The couches and chairs were very uncomfortable. The king bed was awesome! It is beautifully centered right in the town of Sedona. You can walk to the shops and restaurants and enjoy the nice views! The resort has 2 pool tables and ping pong table! Indoor pool. Spending money on a time share and traveling all the way from Delaware to Phoenix– The airfare and rental car the accommodations were lacking it was a little disappointing. Needs updating!

We love this place. This is the second time I’ve stayed here and it’s been great both times. 2 large bedrooms and 3 bathrooms in the units we have stayed in. Great facilities including racquetball billiard tables tennis courts two pools and a jacuzzi.
We are looking forward to our next trip already.

This resort is nicely located in Uptown Sedona. It’s a short walk and you’re there. So you can’t beat the location. The resort itself is a little bit dated; however, it’s well maintained. I was in a two bedroom unit with 2.5 baths. There was a jacuzzi tub in the master bedroom. The second bedroom had two twin beds. The arrangement seemed ideal for a family. Outside on the grounds, there were several gas grills to grill outside. The was even a grilling area with a nice view of the creek. In the clubhouse, there was a game room, racquetball courts, sauna, steam room, indoor-​outdoor pool, two whirl pools, computers and an exercise room. The equipment in the exercise room was a little old, but it worked and got the job done. Overall, you won’t be impressed by the design, but the units are a good size, facilities are pretty good, and it’s in an ideal location.

Still a great place to stay although owning is becoming increasingly expensive as the annual maintenance fees have steadily increased over the years and are currently at $ 800 for this year. I suppose $ 66 a month is not that much when you consider that my family has limited day use of the facilities. By limited I mean only our 3 immediate family members can gain access without an additional daily charge of $ 5 per individual per day. That can add up quickly.
Personally I think that is a very unfair policy because it penalizes smaller families like my own. If I want to bring additional guests or relatives I have to pay for each one of them while someone with 5 people in their family pays the same annual fee but is allowed more family members.
The solution should be to have a certain number of free guest passes each month, say 3 and if they are not used, they should accumulate until the end of the year when the process starts all over again. The resort could still place a limit on the TOTAL number of guests or relatives you could bring during each visit, say up to 3 so an owner could not save up their guest passes and suddenly appear with 20 friends.
I hope the management at Arroyo reads this because they don’t have an email address for me to submit this suggestion to them.

The front desk is very helpful. The room is Clean and comfy :) and breakfast is good… Its accessible to the famous chapel and awesome restaurants.

We traded our timeshare in California for this location. From the greeting when we arrived through the checkout at the end it could not have been better. A wonderful, restful villa with a very comfortable bed. We had another couple with us and I had asked about putting the twin beds together and it was done when we got there. The pools were clean, enjoyable and the exercise room well appointed. The only, only drawback is that it is a tough climb up the hill to Uptown but we just drove up. I would not let that stop me from going there. We would gladly go back. Great place!

We’ve been coming here for around 20 years and although everything in the time share looks the same as it always has, the TVs are finally updated! So is the bedding. This is a great resort with a lot of amenities but it definitely needs to be updated. The twin bedroom should have one larger bed in it as the beds themselves cannot be moved, though there is a pull out couch downstairs. They provide high chairs and other items that make it helpful for traveling with small children. Call in advance to get a creek side villa!

My wife’s family has owned a time-​share here for years. I, luckily, married into it. We love coming here to enjoy the cool weather near Oak Creek, the shops just up the hill, swimming in the pool, barbecuing in the lush, green lawn, and spending time with family. The villas are spacious and have plenty of room and amenities for the whole family. The could use some updating… although we could tell they are working on it.

My family has had a timeshare here for 20 years or so. I love it so much. Try to get a villa in the 1100’s — that’s creekside. You walk outside your back patio and are 50 feet from Oak Creek. The pool is good, there is a fun game area, and the fitness facility is decent, although could be better. The rooms are a bit dated, but nice and clean and great for a family. We love it because we can cook our own meals and not have to eat out all the time. Arroyo Roble for-​evah!

This is a decent resort. I stayed at the adjacent Best Western and the rooms were nice. The hotel is going through a renovation so some areas on the first floor were not accessible, etc. but it wasn’t too much of an inconvenience.
The rooms are a bit dated but the showers are nice and the views are great. You also get usage of the clubhouse at the resort so that’s nice. The clubhouse is also a bit dated and old but the indoor pool, steam sauna, and hot tub were nice. The room with the nintendo wii was also nice but I didn’t play any video games. The 2 pool tables looked adequate but also looked like pretty old like the padding and felt was in need of attention. There is also a nice ping pong table that looks much newer than the rest of the stuff.
They closed off the partition that allows you to swim both indoor and outdoor so I just stayed indoor. The pool isn’t really big enough to swim laps although I suppose you probably could if you really wanted to.
The staff at the Best Western and the resort are very friendly and nice.
The complimentary breakfast is also pretty good.

My husband’s family has had a timeshare here for YEARS. It’s pure tradition to be at the villas for Thanksgiving, and a wonderful one at that. When Phoenix doesn’t show me that autumn has arrived, Sedona certainly delivers that chill and beautiful color change amongst the trees that I so desperately need!
The 2 story townhome-​like villa is clean and homey with a fireplace both upstairs and downstairs. There are two balconies and one patio and a fully stocked kitchen, along with a king bed in the master, two twins in the second bedroom, and a queen pull out couch downstairs. The grounds are serene and large, with plenty of benches and chairs scattered amongst the green grass to relax in and listen to the sounds of the creek and animals. There are several shiny new barbeques available, but my favorites are on a space overlooking the creek and nearby a sturdy wooden, two-​seater swing.
There are two pool tables, a workout room (which needs another elliptical, please!), an awesome new game room with shuffleboard, foosball, and a giant flat screen for party-​friendly Wii games. We made tons of use of the indoor-​outdoor pool, Jacuzzis, and steam room, though they never turned on the sauna for us despite our request. Free Wi-​Fi is also available, but I had a lot of problems connecting to it. Then again, it was vacation time, so I instead read some of the magazines available near the front desk next to the pool instead. Problem solved!
They do have one or two available one story villas, which so wonderful for Husband’s grandparents. I do wish they would update the tvs to something larger and also had the option of a second bedroom with a queen bed instead of the two twins. And I had no clue there was breakfast offered! I have been coming here for at least 10 years… HOW AM I JUST FINDING THIS OUT? Thanks Unilocal!
If you want to have a creekside villa, RESERVE EARLY! And if you want it for the holiday, call one year (to the day) ahead of time and good freaking luck.
Anyway, amazing views, fabulous location, wonderful service. Honestly, what more needs to be said?

This place is awesome!!! My parents have had a timeshare there for a couple years and this last April we stayed there with them for a few days.
Pros: Quiet, great views, cool stream running behind the resort, BBQs, playground, lots of parking, close to town, indoor and outdoor pool and spa (with a nice shower room), sauna, clean, full kitchens with washer and dryers in the units, fireplaces in the master bedroom, and sweet whirlpool tubs in the master baths. Also the couch in the living room turns into a bed so even more people can stay there.
Cons: Beds are hard, décor is a little dated. That’s it!!!
I can’t wait to stay there again next year.

We did an exchange through RCI (we are Disney Vacation Club Members) and were nicely impressed by the resort. Very clean, very well maintained, great great great location (the creek on the backside and historic downtown Sedona on the other). With two good size bedrooms, a large living room and dining space, fully equiped kitchen and washer/dryer…you have all you need. Only downside (and this is not a major downside) is that the interiors do have a dated look, but its not that bad and again, the maintenance/​upkeep is so solid that you look past it pretty quickly.

Our club had a overnight stay here for the weekends. The place is really lovely with it’s beautiful nature and building structure. The room and beds were big including 3 bathrooms (2 on the 2^nd floor) and one on the first floor.
When we stepped out onto the patio, the view was breath-​taking. It was so nice that it felt like a dream. There was a river when you walk out and look down. The sound of the river and splashing sounds so nice. There was a area to grill or BBQ, really nice, and clean. Next by it had a deck with a swing. It got me excited because I never sat on this kind swing in front of the river. It was sooooooo NICE. This would be the best place to stay if nature is your thing.
There is also a clubhouse with a indoor pool and a outdoor pool and spa. There was also a sauna. There were rooms to play games and watch movies. I could just stay there forever.
There is also breakfast provided in the morning near the registration building. There was a lot of option, and it was pretty good breakfast.

We stayed here for a week by trading in through RCI. We found the unit to be very clean and comfortable. It seemed that at one time the units were very upscale, but they are beginning to show their age. The appliances, furniture and fixtures are all beginning to be a bit dated which is why I dropped them down by a star. And they have 20-​year-​old TV’s. By now, they should be using nice flat screen TV’s to go with the rest of their image. The grounds were very, very nice and we enjoyed their landscaping and their green by Oak Creek. The front desk people were very helpful. The free wireless internet was very nice. While I think we may be back in the future, we are hoping that there is more emphasis on bringing everything in the units up to current modern standards.

We are owners here at the Arroyo Roble, and enjoy our experiences greatly. The condos are a little aged, but every time we are there, new updates occur. We like to be able to cook, and there is all sorts of (inexpensive) cooking stuff provided. Located in the heart of the tourist area, it is a steep, but short, walk up the hill to all the shops.
The grounds are nicely maintained and there is a beautiful sitting area right next to the creek. With very little effort you can make your way down to wade in the creek. At night, with windows open from many of the units, you can hear the creek running.
The pool is very nice, and I’m sure if we were there for the winter, the indoor pool is probably great. I really wanted to spend time in the new wet and dry saunas, but didn’t have time to.
Wireless internet is still spotty, but they are working hard to improve it. Once its done, it will be 5 stars.

Arroyo Roble Resort is beautiful. It isn’t a fullblown resort with a spa, etc. but the grounds are beautiful. There are 2 pools — 1 and indoor/​outdoor pool with 2 hottubs — large and great for the kids. The other is in the backside of the hotel and has gorgeous views of the red rocks. Below are the villas next to Oak Creek. So charming — ducks, herons and hummingbirds live near the creek and fly over it. Oak Creek — you can swim in it or cross to the other side, climb on the red rocks and see more red rock views. They have free full breakfast with waffles, eggs, bacon, the whole bit. They have a decent clubhouse with a pool table and workout room. The grounds are landscaped beautifully. You do have to walk up the hill to the clubhouse and breakfast room, so it’s kind of a hike. The villas are roomy and pretty nice. Not hugely luxurious but pretty nice with a hot tub in the master bedroom and several fireplaces. My parents, husband and 2 boys and I stayed there comfortably. The staff is also very nice and friendly. The price was reasonable compared to the other resorts in the area. Also right next to restaurants and shops within walking distance. Pink Jeep tours will come and pick you up right there at the clubhouse for your tour. Overall for the price — excellent! We enjoyed our stay immensely.
