The Villas at the Carefree Resort are the best. The resort itself is okay, but the villas are beautifully decorated, large, and reasonably affordable. The location is exceptional, away from the hustle and bustle of the city, but not in the middle of nowhere.
PROS: The service was at Carefree was impecable. Whether it was questions about local eateries, directions to different places, or just their overall friendly attitude, they were there to assist in our every need. Our room was located on the second floor of the resort. We had a nice view of sunsets in the evening. The pool was nice, and if it ...
Well, Its a great place for the family. The pool is not too noisy with the kids splashing around. Singles will not find much to do but relax. Room was good in the cartwright building. Dont locate on the first floor. You will be on display for the world unless thats what you like. Went into town just a short drive. Harolds bar is lamo and the staff ...

Nice surprise
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 01/30/08
We wanted to get away from the frigid cold this winter and were looking for a place close to shopping and restaurants but wanted some privacy. Our travel agent recommended Carefree Resort and told us about the villas. It was wonderful. They were spacious, clean and we even received a phone call before we arrived from the hotel asking if they ...

We would love to stay again!
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 01/13/08
We loved our stay at the resort! Our villa was incredible, clean and it felt like our home away from home. We enjoyed a wonderful dinner at the Lariat restaurant and found the food & service amazing. We would recommend this resort for anyone who would like to escape the "typical" hotel. Staying in the real desert was a unique and invigorating experience.

Big Disappointment
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 09/20/07
Accompanied my husband to a business conference and brought our 2 teen-agers for a summer vacation. Our room was surprisingly small and noisy, with a view only of the service entrance. Very loud air conditioner and early morning trucks ensured we got little sleep. Several courteous requests to change rooms were condescendingly declined or ignored, ...

Try a different resort
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 08/14/06
My husband and I stayed at the resort over the weekend. They overcharge for everything, if you do not catch it, they will gladly take your money. We did catch it, they overpriced our dinner by $20.00, when we brought it to their attention they bargained with us saying to give them less, but still overcharging by $10.00. We booked the special ...

Fair but will a little effort could be good
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 03/30/06
Stayed 2 nights in main motel. Fair older rooms with few ammenities. Clean but "musty" older carpet. Staff was helpful. Nice lobby and restaurant. Prices for entrees were reasonable but they did charge $5.00 for a single banana as a "to go" breakfeast item. Fitness center cardio equipment was old and in poor condition. Overhead lights full of dead bugs and room was uncleanly.

Filthy Disgrace
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 03/27/06
This was a disgusting hotel as noted below:
Night #1: 1. Fresh chewing gum on the rug and walls. After I told the front desk, they sent someone to clean it. They removed the gum from the wall, but never cleaned the rug. 2. Dead spider visibly on the walls. Does you cleaning crew need glasses? 3. Empty mini bar. Apparently this is the ...
I was here as a conference guest; it was a lovely venue although out of the way and without walkable nearby sights to see. But the setting was nonetheless beautiful. I was so longing to return as a resort guest. The resort amenities are lovely - the spa, the pools, the whole 9 yards. The spread of buildings and distribution of rooms give a real sense of privacy.
