text: First class experience all the way!\n\nI decided to treat myself to a staycation for my birthday this year and when I was looking at rates and locations, I decided to go with The Boulders. I made my reservation and the personal concierge Carol was in touch a few weeks before my stay just to check if there was anything she could take care of before I arrived, which I really appreciated. \n\nWe checked in Saturday afternoon which was quick and easy. Carol recognized me as I was checking in and the experience was pleasant. Our casita wasn't too far from the lounge but we used the golf carts the majority of the time we were there - the drivers were all super friendly. The room - gorgeous! Nice little kitchenette, wonderful seating area with the worlds most comfortable leather chairs, huge comfy bed, and giant bathroom and closet area. \n\nAfter getting settled in, we headed off to the main pool for a little bit and had a drink while we were there. Afterwards we headed off-site for dinner, returned to check out Sunset Pointe, and then retired to our room for the night. While we were there, Carol must have took notice that I was visiting for my birthday and sent over a bottle of wine and a chocolate/fruit dessert - 5 stars for Carol!! Before we left for breakfast, we checked out the spa and the pool near the front. We learned that we could have used the sauna, steam room, and jet spa while we were there - a note to remember for next time. The pool by the spa looked to be more \"chill\", and they have an organic garden where it appears you can pick fresh herbs and veggies. \n\nI had a fantastic time. It's far enough from the city and the surroundings are so beautiful you forget that you're still just a few miles outside of Scottsdale. The staff was great, the grounds were beautiful, and I'll definitely be back in the future.
