The Scott Resort and Spa

The Scott sits at 4925 N Scottsdale Road, a ten-minute walk from Scottsdale Fashion Square and the Waterfront, with Old Town's gallery and restaurant core just beyond. Phoenix Sky Harbor is a 15-to-20-minute drive depending on route, and there is no airport shuttle. A complimentary shuttle covers a 3-mile radius from 6 am to 10 pm.

Yes: $60 plus tax, per room, per night. It covers WiFi, the 24-hour fitness center, daily yoga, cruiser bikes, and the courtesy shuttle. Our previous version of this review did not disclose a resort fee at all, and the trajectory is steep: guests reported $40 to $45 a night in 2021 and 2022, $57 by June 2024, and it stands at $60 now. Several reviewers say they only learned the figure at check-in.

Yes, and it is the property's cleanest advantage. Valet and self-parking are both complimentary for guests and spa visitors, while neighboring Old Town hotels charge $30 to $50 a night for the same service.

No, because nothing day-use exists to sell: no sauna, steam room, or relaxation lounge. What exists instead is a $40 ResortPass day pass for the pools, and pool access bundled with any treatment Monday to Thursday, occupancy permitting.

No, and nothing thermal at all: no sauna, no steam, no hydrotherapy circuit, and no locker room. Guests change inside their treatment room, and two 2025 reviewers found the in-room shower missing or broken, so plan to leave in your robe. Guests have made the same four complaints (no locker room, no sauna, no steam, no relaxation area) in every year we can find reviews for, going back to 2012. The in-room soaking tubs are the only water experience here.

A 50-minute custom massage is $165 and an 80-minute is $225, with the two 90-minute copper-bath sequences at $260. A 20% service charge is added to every treatment as therapist gratuity, calculated on the full price, which for a discounted booking means the pre-discount price. One 2024 guest was charged 25% and told it would be re-run on request. Check your total at checkout. Room service runs its own 25% charge plus a $5 delivery fee, which a September 2025 guest discovered while ordering morning coffee.

It is the spa's signature 90-minute, $260 sequence: a mineral copper-tub soak, then an aromatic sugar-scrub exfoliation, then a full-body massage, taken as one uninterrupted booking. The CBD Experience runs the same length and price with an organic CBD mineral bath and a complimentary CBD hand or foot enhancement. Manage the expectation the menu sets: a March 2026 guest found the tub already filled and waiting, with a bath bomb to drop in.

No, and this catches people out. The couples room handles side-by-side massage, but each treatment room holds a single tub, so a couple booking soak-based rituals gets separate rooms and reunites afterward. Book the plain couples massage if being in the same room is the point.

Spa treatments require guests 18 or older. Check-in at the hotel itself requires someone in the party who is at least 21, which catches younger groups off guard.

Cancellations inside 24 hours are charged the full treatment price, and no-shows are charged in full. The asymmetry is worth knowing. One guest was called three hours before two booked treatments and told one of them had to go because the spa was short of staff, and a March 2026 day-pass guest had a prepaid massage cancelled with no refund offered and no manager reachable. Book with the spa directly, confirm the day before, and keep your booking reference.

Two, with different jobs. La Boca is the main pool, with the hot tub and poolside bar. The sand-bottom pool gives families actual sand underfoot, which no tiled Old Town competitor offers. Guests report both can close partially for private events, so ask about buyouts when booking a pool-focused stay.

Within limits. Children are welcome and the sand-bottom pool is a genuine draw, but the spa is 18-plus, check-in requires a 21-year-old, and the property earns much of its living from weddings and conferences. Twelve of the 244 recent Google reviews we parsed mention group events dominating the grounds, and four of those found it ruined the stay.

The Canal Club handles everything: brunch 7 am to 3 pm, dinner 3 pm to 10 pm, tapas alongside, and a bar that pours until midnight. Brunch draws local regulars, and the register is Caribbean-Havana. Room service stops at 10 pm.

Yes, for parties of five or more, by email to the spa team. Our previous version referenced a "Spa After Dark" program, and since we can find no record of it anywhere, that claim is withdrawn.

Yes: up to two dogs at 50 lbs each (75 lbs combined), with a $150 non-refundable pet deposit per stay. Service animals are exempt.
