L'auberge de Sedona exceeded my expectations. We stayed at L'auberge for 2 nights and 3 days after being in flagstaff. Check in was quick and efficient, we received a map and rundown of the resort, in addition they ran through the amenities from the FHR, and gave us an upgrade from the vista cottages to vista suites. The view from the suites was stunning, normally a hotel's photos upsell what views they have, but I can honestly say they are the exact same views in person. After arriving at the room, we took a stroll through the grounds to Cress for lunch, and all of the dishes were excellent. I personally had the Rigatoni with Pancetta, Peas and Parmesan and added shrimp, well worth it, as were the mussels. We ate there again for dinner and had a similarly amazing experience. After dinner we all went to the stargazing which is a must do at this resort, Dennis is amazingly quick-witted, funny, and engaging. His knowledge in the area is exceptional. He provides equipment for amazing close-up views during his session. All of us had some type of spa treatment while at L'Auberge, and everyone came back relaxed and raving, I had a 60 minute deep tissue, and my wife did a 90 minute facial combo. The spa staff we friendly and knowledgeable and very ready to help. Overall the staff, especially the valet team, all exceeded expectations. They were all friendly and ready to help with any request that was made. I would highly recommend this hotel to anyone considering it. Its far more intimate and personal than Enchantment ever could be.
