I rarely write reviews but wanted to review our first visit at Amara Spa. We were greeted by a friendly and helpful receptionist, were walked into the appropriate locker room, and told to enjoy ourselves in the relaxation room while we waited for our practitioners. The environment was clean and tidy , however the locker rooms could use a refresh . The robes we utilized were ancient and threadbare. The relaxation room was not relaxing as the cleaning staff walked in and out of the designated area as well as additional staff members. I’m used to a quiet , relaxing non hustle and bustle type of relaxation room. My practitioner was the BEST part of the experience, her name was Taryn . She was fantastic and informative, I completely trusted her right off the bat. She deserves all the accolades! My husbands practitioner was Sandra and he was equally impressed. Kudos to Amara for having very qualified staff. I would’ve given Amara 5 stars but just couldn’t due to the experiences prior to the service.

I spent 4 nights here in Feb 2023. The room was spacious, the restaurant delicious, and the bartenders friendly. The concierge was friendly and the valet quick!

A few things to note: the hotel is in a small canyon and it's a serious walk to get up to the street. The hotel offers a golf cart ride up or down if you want. :-) I stayed on the bottom floor and could hear everyone in the room above me walking around.= Stay on the top floor if you can.

I wasn't able to use the spa, it is a small facility. And it was too cold for the pool or jacuzzi, but they looked lovely.

Sammi was phenomenal!! She was prompt, attentive, personable, made us feel like family and completely welcome! Sammi made the ambience and experience one we will never forget! She had us laughing, smiling and thoroughly enjoying the entirety of our time!! Thank you Sammi!! You exceeded our expectations!’
