Diamond Resorts – Red Rock Scenic Byway, Arizona

"We had probably the best studio room (302) of the whole resort! It was a bit on the side from other more "generic" rooms/buildings, and our patio extented to a secluded barbeque area. The room even had its own parking spot. It really had an exclusive feel, perfect for a romantic set, and we especially enjoyed the fact that we could have some cold beer from our fridge and other items from Safeway (~3miles away) to do bbq. Washing dishes was a bit hard in the room and the room lacked good bbq-ing tools but we managed. We also enjoyed using the coffee maker and toaster. Unfortunately everytime we used the toaster it triggered the smoke alarm detector, but we quickly learned to toast having the doors open 😅 Room was very clean and patio/bbq area very well managed. A/C in the room was somewhat noisy. Pool area was well managed and it was especially nice to dip in to the jacuzzi late evening. Unfortunately though the pool bar wasn't open that late but it seemed to be fine to take your own beer cans to the area. Location was great but not for the Sedona's amazing views. In general at Sedona you MUST have a car to enjoy everything it has to offer, so having those views also in your resort really isn't necessary at all. It was just a 10min drive to e.g. Airport Mesa to enjoy the amazing Sedona sunset. Would definitely visit again, but I would beg to have the same room 🙂"
