No room at the Inn
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 11/28/09
Agreeing w/ review by "Carol" - unable to book a room at L/A, even calling exactly 1 year in advance for reservations. Buyer, beware. The formerly nice restaurant is now "sports bar & grill" - well prepared food on cold plates with atmosphere of a TV sales department, except each TV is blinking a different channel. Still, visiting Sedona is fabulous. mmshoppe/AZ

NOT a good place to be or to buy
By Carol, 08/25/09
We bought a time share in the mid-90s. Even back then, whenever we called, we were told they were booked up. Well, people, guess what. Only 30% of the rooms are for timeshare owners. The better rooms are for hotel (read paying) guests. When it was revealed that only 30% were for owners, we called as a hotel guest and were able to book right away. Those who praise this place are shills. Did you know there was a lawsuit over the owners being told there was no availability? Yep. We were part of the class action. What did we get for our PAID $16K investment? Without admitting fault, the lawsuit was settled for...ready for the big one? $40 Los Abrigados bucks!!! Oh wow. We were totally impressed...NOT. We used them on the as usual mediocre restaurants. AND many reviewers told the truth: the rooms are dark and gloomy. the carpets are FILTHY. After only 3 minutes my baby at one of his visits was very, very dirty from crawling. I had to even request housekeeping to come up and clean the tile in the dining area one time. Moldy smells were everywhere. We've stayed in the newly remodeled rooms - um...painting cheap cabinets white don't a difference make. The air conditioner is LOUD and, of course is not constant as it clicks on and off, so the difference is truly noticeable. Probably to drown out the noise of the neighbors. The kids camp is a joke as is the "babysitting". The food is expensive as with any resort, and is mediocre. The spa is easy to use, but I've used better spas for less money. Each visit, of course, the sales desk would call under the guise of the concierge, inviting us down for an "update" of our ownership. Guess what: the "update" is simply to sell you either another room or to have you pay for an upgrade to a different room, maybe with a jacuzzi tub (any idea how they clean these?? I have one in my home and an inground one. The one in my home is almost impossible to clean, and the mfrs. I've contacted of different brands, including mine, don't really have a solution except to sell me a completely different style. In other words, ick. The water from the tap is very hot and can burn any young, unwary child. They tout fireplaces and in-room jacuzzis. The resort hot tub is exactly that: HOT. Too hot. Fireplaces are only in upgraded rooms, which you are NOT able to upgrade at the desk. (By the way, even if the "hotel" part is pretty empty, they still will not allow you to stay in them as an "owner". And also, the restaurants are NOT owned by celebrities (the celebrities on the walls are just different Joes for the Joey Bistro. Because the owner is JOE Martori, who owns the publicly held ILX resorts. The touted celeb visitors on the plaques had been there years before when the place was nicer. Your maintenance fees jump every year for reasons not justifiable. Read the budget. You'll wonder why certain projections are so much (housekeeping must be paid much more than the average, tee hee, and they say you can vote. Right. You have to travel to Sedona to vote. Our annual fees started at $366 a year, and were climbing above the $800 per year when we called it quits. They have the right of first refusal they will tell you when you buy that they will help you find a buyer. Don't bet on it. They told us, long after the sale, that they can't do that. They gave us a hassle about selling because they still had "open" units at a higher (duh, inflation) price. Couldn't even sell it on the secondary market. We finally cut our losses and stopped paying maintenance fees, which of course, disallowed us from using our timeshare. It was $16K plus interest (again, paid off before this happened) down the drain. Martori gets the prime parking, of course. Not once had he greeted us when we were there. The whole place is grungy. Parking is at a huge premium. We were proud of our ownership the first year, but after that, we were embarrassed about it. We booked rooms at the discounted $69 price offered for our guests. ick.

Stay Away from Blue Feather Tours
By Brandon, 01/18/09
My family owns timeshare at Los Abrigados Resort and Spa. We enjoy the sights and amenities of the Spa. It’s a great town and a good Spa. We did make the mistake of following the concierge’s advice when booking our tour of the Grand Canyon. She recommended “Blue Feather Tours”. Stay away from “Blue Feather Tours”. She had virtually no narration of any of the items we came to see. We found ourselves shadowing other tour guides at the stops for relevant information. Furthermore, I found her to be a coarse pseudo -intellectual who has a blatant distain for organized religion and conservative politics. While she’s happy to fill your ears with the fodder of her own philosophy, she becomes belligerent when you challenge her assertions. STAY AWAY from “BLUE FEATHER TOURS”, there are better and cheaper guide in the area.

A little bit of magic
By NANCE S, 06/25/08
LIKES: The grounds and feeling to the place is VERY peaceful and gorgeous. We travel a fair amount and this is the best in my mind. Beats Kierland Westin, JW Marriott's and any Palm Springs resorts. For some reason it's my favorite resort anywhere - Read down by the creek - Accupuncture at the Spa - A little tennis - Morning aerobics in the pool - Be awed by the redrocks - Best breakfast in town - Guess I've got Red Rock Fever.....Only thing missing is a firepit! DISLIKES: The units are very basic - While the rooms have been fancier at most of the places we got to and parking can be testy at times - The grounds are unbeatable - And who spends the time in your room when magic awaits on the other side of the door.....

Great Location - Average Service
By Randolph, 10/01/07
Los Abrigados is conveniently located near most of the scenic areas one would want to visit. A few minutes from uptown Sedona, and close to the beauty of the red rocks, Los Abrigados is definitely a great place to stay, as long as you can tolerate mediocre service and apathetic attitudes. Our initial encounter with the Front Desk agent, Kristopher, promised a suggestion of good service, but we were quickly apprised otherwise by the remaining contacts we were to make. The concierge, Jackie, was most friendly and a visit with manicurist, Lisa, and facialist Mary Ann were enjoyable. But even these encounters required a lot of personal energy to bring about some measure of interest. The service at Joey's Bistro was perfectly horrible and resulted in a walk-out on our last day after waiting almost 15 minutes for someone to take our order. It wouldn't have been so horrible had the waitress, who was busy setting up tables and glancing at us every two minutes, made an attempt to help us. The staff here clearly has a mindset of "not my station". Our rooms were clean and well maintained although, after requesting an upgrade to a two bedroom suite, resulted in our need to purchase some Febreeze to elimnate the mold odor that was eminent. A few hours of airing helped clear the room smell. Nearby Tlaquepaque is a great stroll and I highly reccomend Rene's for dinner. Our waiter, Paul, was stellar and really took our minds off Los Abrigados' service failures. I would also reccomend a dinner or brunch at the amazing L'auberge Restaurant. Again, model service and amazing food! It seems tourism won't slow down for Sedona and it's apparent, with the few exceptions I mentioned above, that the staff at Los Abrigados are anticipating more people to stay with them - something they clearly aren't looking forward towards.

once is enough
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 06/13/07
grounds are beautiful, restaurants are great, rooms are dark, dingy, furniture beat up and uncomfortable. This could be a great resort but it really really needs to have the rooms updated.

Timeshare
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 04/08/07
Dont bother buying into the timeshare, you will never be able to get a reservation at any of the resorts! ALWAYS BOOKED! You will end up having to sell and loose money to be able to stop paying the maintenance fee on a property that is always booked. I had the timeshare for 6 years and was only able to get reservations ONCE! STAY AWAY!

Great Location!
By Adriana, 08/10/06
Well I got pulled in by thier catch for time shares and can say overall I have had a geat experience. The resurants are known by clebraties and the resort itself is updating all the rooms very nicely. I was greeted by friendly staff and clean rooms. There is a daycare on site for small ones if the grown ups want some queit time. Great family place. We are definity making this a yearly trip.

We Love Sedona
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 06/27/06
We have a unit at Los Abrigados. My wife and I have stayed there four years and taken our son's family twice. We look forward to our return each time we plan vacation. We have always been treated with respect and the staff is very helpful. I don't like any sales pitch - but that seems to be the nature of the beast. I choose to pass when invited to listen. Sedona is wonderful, great views, great shopping, great activities. We eat both on and off site but have found the restaurants at Los Abrigados to be very good and a good value.

Sedona trip 0506
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 05/29/06
The location is great. It's in the middle of Sedona, next to Tlaquepaque shopping center. It has all the amenaties needed and it's a really great place. We didn't spend a lot of time at the resort, but it was clean and they had everything we needed. I hope to go back. The only thing that was bad was when I went to shower one day and the hot water was turned off due to a repair emergency, but it was a minor inconvenience. I recommend going
