text: So my husband had been traveling on business almost every week for months He is finally home and his company hosts some sort of conference at The Boulders He was planning to drive in from Scottsdale each day but they forced him to stay So I was also forced to stay his last night there It was a sacrifice no wife should have to make but I sucked it up and did sofor him because I am that kind of a personnnFirst of all this is not just your typical resort I was greeted at the guard station by a roadrunner How cool is that On the drive in from the gate I was amazed at the size of this property It is roughly acres of beautiful desert with a couple golf courses sprinkled in the mix Wildlife galore You know the phrase multiplying like rabbits I get it now They are everywhere as are quail I am sure there are also less desirable residents like the mouse that ran up to me outside the lobby like an old friend but it is his home toonnThe casitas are so charming and I mean that in a good way Nice sitting area with a fireplace incredibly comfortable beds and huge bathrooms The walkin closet was larger than my closet at home There is a nice little vanity area just off the bathroom for the ladies to sit and apply the makeup they claim to not wear Our balcony off the back of the casita was completely private You could not even see another casita from therennSince the resort is so large there are always golf carts available upon request to take you anywhere on grounds or to the neighboring El Pedregal for shopping or dining This service is especially beneficial in the summer as many of the casitas are quite far from the lobby or parking And speaking of parking no charge for either selfpark or valet Complimentary bottled water as well And not only is The Boulders pet friendly they have a pet program with special meals and photo sessions Seriously If I had a pet this is where it would want to stay
