Top Rio Verde Foothills Hotel Reviews

Sonesta Suites Scottsdale Gainey Ranch

10/10 Excellent

"Great location! Breakfast and happy hour were excellent. Our room was clean, comfy, and had everything we needed. We enjoyed the pool and outdoor lounge areas."

Fairmont Scottsdale Princess

4/10 Poor

"1. Shower hot water was difficult to use. 2. Staff relatively unhelpful with early checkin. 3. Housecleaning poor with leaving door to adjacent room unlocked, trying to enter room to clean with little or no notice before 8am. 4. Difficult non-existent parking for checkin and guests. 5. Poor maps and directions for room and restaurant locations. 6. Poor locations for restaurant and bar resources. 7. Generally front desk staff not up to standard of a five star hotel."

DoubleTree Resort by Hilton Paradise Valley - Scottsdale

6/10 Okay

"The pool was nice and the lounge area near coffee shop. Other than that, the property needs renovation. The grounds, the elevators and the rooms were not worth the price I paid for 2 nights. The food was mediocre at best and rooms were dirty and smelled of old. The beds were not comfortable. Will not go there again."

Hotel Valley Ho

10/10 Excellent

"The valet staff were excellent and friendly. The Zuzu not so much. And the happy hour drink offerings were sparse. The room was large, clean and well appointed. Housekeeping was also very attentive and friendly. Really appreciated the complimentary bottled water. We weren't sure.if the snacks were also complimentary because there was no info on that. Good value for a very elegant, quiet and modernized resort. I would definitely stay again if in the area."

Hilton Phoenix Tapatio Cliffs Resort

8/10 Good

"Beautiful area, well maintained rooms. The pool and hot tub were great. We stayed in building 12 and had no issues. Had dinner at Point in Tyme and it was good. Only complaints are the super narrow streets and difficult parking. Also the self parking is so expensive…"

Boulders Resort & Spa Scottsdale, Curio Collection by Hilton

2/10 Terrible

"Incredibly disappointing service and severe pest issues — Will not return We chose The Boulders expecting a luxury experience, but unfortunately, the service and room quality fell completely short. Days before our arrival, I emailed the property to request an early check-in (offering to pay extra if needed) but never received a response. When we arrived early, we were told our room wasn't ready. We spent the next several hours checking in periodically—waiting at the lounge, then heading to the golf course restaurant for lunch—only to be repeatedly turned away. We weren't finally given our room until 4:00 PM. The real breakdown happened after we returned from dinner. We found a spider inside one of our towels, followed by more spiders on the furniture and sink, and bugs in the bed itself. In total, we had to kill 8 spiders, a moth, and another bug. When I called the front desk to request a room change due to the infestation, I was flatly told they couldn't accommodate us. For the price point and reputation of this resort, the lack of communication, poor customer service, and unhygienic room conditions are unacceptable. We will not be coming back."

Frequently asked questions

When is the best time to go to Rio Verde Foothills?

The best time to go to Rio Verde Foothills is during the cooler, drier months from November to April.

During this period, the weather is most pleasant for outdoor activities. Temperatures typically range from comfortable highs in the mid-20s Celsius during the day to cooler evenings, superb for enjoying the desert landscape without the intense heat of summer. You'll find clear skies and very little rainfall, making it ideal for hiking, horse riding, or simply relaxing outdoors.

This time of year is especially good for couples looking for a tranquil escape. The mild weather allows for leisurely walks through the desert, enjoying the natural beauty and the peaceful surroundings. Many local golf courses are also in their prime during these months.
