No sauna, steam or lounge, but the treatments at La Vidorra are the real draw.
La Vidorra is treatment rooms only: no sauna, steam room, cold plunge or lounge. The draw is the treatment work itself: 25 of 26 guest treatment reviews are positive, and Angela and Francine draw repeat praise. The menu is built around a 90-minute copper-tub signature. Know the stack: a 20% service charge, no day pass, and pool access only Monday to Thursday. Right for treatment-first bookers; wrong for anyone planning a weekend spa day by the pool.

No closure or renovation notice sits on the hotel's pages as of October 2026, so no pricing review trigger is currently active.
Spa Treatments
Treatments at La Vidorra Spa are the reason to book: guests praise them, and the 90-minute signature is the standout. Of 26 guest reviews that describe a treatment, 25 are positive. Massages run from $175 for 50 minutes to $275 for the 90-minute signature. Guests name their therapists: Angela is praised across five reviews over 15 months, Francine across three. Six treatment rooms sit against 24 at The Phoenician and 12 at Sanctuary Camelback Mountain.
Spa Facilities
La Vidorra Spa is treatment rooms only: no sauna, steam room, cold plunge or lounge, and no stated changing rooms. Six treatment rooms include a couples room, and copper bath tubs feature in some treatments, so soaking happens inside the treatment room. Robes, slippers and herbal tea are not stated on any page. Hotel Valley Ho's spa carries a chromotherapy sauna free to every hotel guest, while La Vidorra has no wet or thermal element at all.
Wellness Programs
Wellness at the resort is open recreation, not a program: a gym, Daily Yoga, bikes and lawn games in the resort fee. Two pools open from 6 a.m. to 10 p.m., and a complimentary 3-mile shuttle stretches the day beyond the property. The gap is structure: the hotel names Daily Yoga but publishes no schedule, times or class page, so there is no planner to build a stay around. Fine as a spa-day warm-up, not a reason to book.
Staff & Service
Staff at The Scott are mostly praised, and the front desk is the recurring weak spot. About one stay review in ten names a service problem, most often check-in. Booking.com guests still score staff 8.5, management answers nearly every TripAdvisor review, and the complaints run to a rough first impression rather than a broad breakdown. Front-desk trouble shows up in a handful of recent stays and never dominates the reviews.
Experience
The Scott's guests rate the stay well, and recent reviews run better than older ones. Google shows 4.3 across 2,662 reviews, while TripAdvisor reads lower at 4.1 across 1,222. Reviews have climbed through 2025 into 2026 on both platforms, and the spa's own Google listing carries a warmer 4.6 across 50. Against peers, the stay runs level with Omni Montelucia and The Phoenician, and below Hotel Valley Ho.
Value for Money
At the resort, value is fair, not cheap: a $60 resort fee on top, a treatment-gated spa, and no day pass. Taxes and the resort fee together add 24.3% to the peak room rate. Booking.com's value score runs 8.0, and most value complaints are food and drink prices, not the room or the spa. That peak premium sits above Omni Montelucia's 20.5%, The Phoenician's 16.7% and Hotel Valley Ho's 14.0%, and well under CIVANA's 35.2%.

About This Hotel
Book The Scott for the therapists, not the spa hardware: La Vidorra is treatment rooms only, with no sauna, no steam and no lounge, while Angela and Francine draw repeat guest praise. That split, strong treatment reviews inside a treatment-only spa, decides who should book.
The Spa, Specifically: La Vidorra Spa
La Vidorra Spa runs six treatment rooms and no thermal facilities: no sauna, no steam, no lounge and no cold plunge. A couples room sits among the six, and copper bath tubs feature in the signature 90-minute La Vidorra Experience, $275 before the 20% service charge: a herbal soak, a salt scrub, then a full-body massage. The menu runs massage at 50, 75, 80 and 90 minutes and facials at 50 and 80, from a 50-minute La Vidorra Facial at $175 to a Deluxe HydraFacial at $285, with brow and lip waxing the only salon-adjacent services. The 75-minute Body Glow is the body treatment, and the rest of the massage menu spans $175 to $275. What a treatment does not buy is a day: spa guests get the resort pools Monday to Thursday only, subject to occupancy, and there is no spa day pass. Guest reviews reward the people on the table, not the rooms around it. Angela and Francine draw the repeat names in 2025 and 2026.
Who’s Right, Who’s Wrong
The Scott is right for treatment-first spa bookers who want free parking and the complimentary three-mile shuttle. Book a massage or facial, use the pools Monday to Thursday, and take the local shuttle to dinner. Valet and self-parking both cost nothing. Book elsewhere if you want a sauna, a steam room or a spa lounge, or if a full spa day is the trip’s point. For timing Scottsdale’s shoulder seasons, summer’s low rates are the value window. What your money secures here is a good treatment and free parking, not a full spa day.
Where It Sits in the Scottsdale Market
The Scott scores 6.7 against The Phoenician’s 6.8, with a higher Spa Treatments score (8.0 against 7.9) and a far smaller spa (6 rooms against 24, no thermal facilities). Where it falls is scale and hardware: six treatment rooms beside The Phoenician’s 24, and no sauna, steam or lounge to match Hotel Valley Ho’s free guest sauna. Taxes and fees add 24.3% to its peak room rate, more than at The Phoenician (16.7%) or Valley Ho (14.0%) and less than at CIVANA (35.2%). For a fuller spa day, the Scottsdale spa hotel shortlist is the next stop.

Is the Scott Spa Worth the Price?
Yes for a treatment-first spa afternoon: the therapists earn it, and free parking sweetens the stay. No if you want a sauna, steam room or lounge, or a spa day pass, which the spa does not sell. Expect a typical all-in night of $760 to $970 in peak months, $470 to $570 in shoulder, $270 to $290 in summer.
When to Book the Scott
February and March are the dearest months, and a typical October night costs about what a shoulder-month night does. June, July and August are the cheapest, about one-third of the peak. The year's best stretch is mid-June to mid-July, about half the annual median. February is the dearest four-week window. A Friday or Saturday check-in costs about 3% less than midweek across the year and about 11% more in summer, especially August.

Frequently Asked Questions
Where Is The Scott, and How Do I Get There From the Airport?
The Scott sits at 4925 N Scottsdale Road, Scottsdale, with a complimentary shuttle covering a three-mile radius from 6 a.m. to 10 p.m. and a 1956 Chevrolet Bel Air running into Old Town, weather permitting. There is no airport shuttle, so plan to drive or ride-share from Phoenix Sky Harbor.
Does La Vidorra Spa Have a Sauna, Steam Room or Lounge?
No. La Vidorra is treatment rooms only: six treatment rooms, including one couples room, with no sauna, no steam room, no cold plunge and no relaxation lounge, and the hotel's pages do not state any spa changing rooms. One hot tub serves the whole property, at the main La Boca pool, not in the spa.
Can I Use the Spa Without Booking a Treatment?
No. The spa sells no day pass and has no facilities to open to walk-ins: no sauna, steam or lounge to spend time in. What a treatment does include is complimentary access to the resort pools Monday to Thursday, subject to resort occupancy. Outside that, the spa is for booked treatments only.
How Much Does a Massage Cost?
La Vidorra sells no 60-minute massage: the menu runs 50, 75, 80 and 90 minutes. A 50-minute massage is $175, which works out to $210 per 60 minutes at that rate, a computed equivalent rather than a menu price. Prices for the 80-minute massage differ between the booking engine and the spa page: expect $225 to $240. The 75-minute stone massage and Body Glow run $240, and the 90-minute La Vidorra Experience and CBD Experience run $275. Facials run $175 to $285 for 50 minutes and $240 for 80. A 20% service charge applies on top of every price.
What Is the La Vidorra Experience?
It is the spa's signature 90-minute treatment at $275: a herbal soak in a copper bath tub, a full-body salt scrub, then a full-body massage, taken as one booking. A CBD Experience runs the same length and price. Prices are before the 20% service charge.
Does the Spa Add a Service Charge?
Yes, 20 percent on every treatment, on the full price, and the spa says it goes to your therapist. Prices on the menu and the booking engine exclude this charge. Confirm the total when you book.
What Are the Spa’s Hours?
La Vidorra runs Monday to Thursday 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Friday to Sunday 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. Check in 10 minutes before your treatment, as the spa asks.
What Is the Spa’s Age Policy?
Treatments are 18 and older. At check-in, the hotel requires a guest 21 or older.
What Is the Spa’s Cancellation Policy?
You need 24 hours' notice. Later cancellations and no-shows are charged the full treatment price, so confirm your plans the day before and keep your booking reference.
Is There a Resort Fee, and What Does It Cover?
Yes, $60 a night plus tax, taxed with the room. It covers valet and self-parking, Tesla charging, the three-mile shuttle, Pure Bicycles, Wi-Fi, a 24-hour fitness center, daily yoga, lawn games, lobby water and tea, and a 24-hour business center. There is no separate parking charge.
Is Parking Included?
Yes, both valet and self-parking are complimentary, bundled into the resort fee, and a Tesla charging station is included. No separate parking charge sits on the bill.
Does the Hotel Run Yoga or Fitness Classes?
The resort fee names Daily Yoga, but the hotel publishes no schedule, times or class page, so treat it as a gym-and-recreation resort rather than a programmed one. A 24-hour fitness center, Pure Bicycles and lawn games are also in the fee.
Are Robes and Slippers Provided?
La Vidorra's pages do not state whether robes or slippers are provided.
Are Pets Allowed?
Yes, up to two dogs per room, 50 pounds each or 75 pounds combined, with a non-refundable $150 per stay. Tell the hotel before arrival.
What Is the Dining Like?
The Canal Club is the resort's one restaurant: brunch 7 a.m. to 3 p.m., dinner 3 p.m. to 10 p.m., a poolside bar 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. weather permitting, and room service 7 a.m. to 10 p.m.
