SpaRatorHow SpaRator scores work
Treatments
Why this score
Enchantment guests book from Mii amo's full card, which is the deepest treatment menu in Sedona: 15 massage and bodywork formats from $265 to $740, eight facials from $265, five body treatments, and ceremonial work no rival carries, with Inner Quest at $320 and Medicine Wheel at $265. Two frictions are real. Across 249 recent TripAdvisor reviews, five guests describe treatments booked out before arrival, and a 20% gratuity lands on every one. One therapist recurs twice.
Spa Facilities
Why this score
Enchantment Resort provides no spa facility of its own, and no thermal circuit either. What it lends from Mii amo opens one hour before and one hour after a booked treatment, that day only: Living Room, pool, sauna, whirlpool, steam room, then nothing. No plunge pool, no hammam, no salt room. Guests naming those rooms average 3.67 stars against a 4.24 mean across 249 recent reviews, the weakest spa theme in the sample, mostly because they found them closed.
Wellness Programs
Why this score
Enchantment's resort fee buys more wellness than the rate card suggests: more than 50 Mii amo fitness classes a week, the Fitness and Movement Studios from 6am, Labyrinth Walk, vortex lectures, and Crystal Grotto rituals twice daily, none of it gated behind a treatment. Outdoors, Trail House runs 400-plus miles of trail at a Leave No Trace Gold Standard, and a resort astronomer works Tuesdays and Saturdays. Guests validate the outdoor half loudly: hiking appears in 86 of 249 reviews, and stargazing scores 4.71, the highest theme in the set.
Staff & Service
Why this score
Staff at Enchantment earn 9.4 on Booking.com and 4.5 on TripAdvisor's service subrating, and the name guests actually remember belongs to the kids' camp. Colleen appears in seven reviews across thirteen months, every one five stars, teaching gourd painting, glazing and candle-making, and one family calls her the highlight of the trip. Spa-side recurrence is thinner: one therapist twice in 249 reviews, no front-desk staffer at all. Transport is the weak link, with sixteen guests waiting on the golf-cart shuttle.
Experience
Why this score
Boynton Canyon does the work here, and the numbers are not subtle: 122 of 249 recent reviews name the setting, and those naming Boynton outright average 4.74 stars. TripAdvisor puts the resort at 4.4 from 6,783 reviews, twelfth of 39 Sedona hotels, with location at 4.9 and Booking.com's location subscore at 9.9. Recent numbers cut the other way. One and two-star reviews run 15.7% of the last thirteen months against 7.7% lifetime, and stay-date means slid from 4.34 to 4.15.
Value for Money
Why this score
Value is Enchantment's weakest subrating on both platforms that publish one, 4.0 on TripAdvisor and 8.5 on Booking.com, and 66 of 249 reviewers raise price directly at a 3.58-star average. The mechanism is kinder than that suggests. Five checkouts put all-in cost 11.6% over the room charge at April peak and 17.8% in July, against 26% at L'Auberge, because the 6.325% county tax lands on the room alone and skips both fees. The flat $78.68 still punishes the summer bargain-hunter hardest.
Spa Facilities
-
Beauty Services
Eight facials at Mii amo, $265 to $475, on BABOR and VOYA products.
-
Couples Treatments
Mii amo's couples-configured room. Duet services add $65 per person, and a 20% gratuity is standard.
-
Fitness Center
Mii amo's two-story Fitness and Movement Studios, open daily 6am to 9:30pm, with no treatment required. One of only two things the room rate buys on the spa side outright.
-
Hot Tub/Jacuzzi
Mii amo's whirlpool, named in Enchantment's own communal-access list, under the same treatment-day rule. There is no plunge pool for Enchantment guests: the only facility Mii amo calls one is reserved for its Journey guests.
-
Pool Facilities
Enchantment runs its own pools with no treatment condition attached, and Mii amo's pool is a separate facility under the two-hour rule. Enchantment's own pool count is not published and sources conflict between two and three. One June 2026 guest calls the adult pool "the size of a large hot tub with no views and no food and beverage service."
-
Sauna
At Mii amo, described by guests as both dry and wet, and reachable only on a day you hold a booked treatment, one hour before and one hour after. Nobody publishes the material; the "cedar" description repeated across the web traces to no property source.
-
Steam Room
Same Mii amo wing, same two-hour window. One January 2026 guest found the women's steam room closed for the entire stay.
-
Wellness Programs
More than 50 Mii amo fitness classes weekly, the twice-daily Crystal Grotto rituals, Labyrinth Walk and vortex lectures, all inside the resort fee and none gated behind a booking. Morning Ritual runs 7:50am and Evening Sound Meditation 6:10pm; only the Arrival and Departure Rituals are Journey-only. Three of 249 recent reviewers mention the Grotto.
Other facilities
- Air Conditioning
-
Bar
The Tii Gavo bar runs to 10pm alongside 500-plus wine selections; The Edge serves poolside, open-air.
-
Bike Rentals
Through Trail House, mountain bikes and e-bikes, charged on top of the resort fee. Several guests query paying for bikes at these rates.
- Business Center
-
Concierge Service
Books private transfers, which matters here: the resort runs no airport shuttle and states plainly that Sedona ride-share "may not be readily available."
- Dry Cleaning
- Free Parking
- Garden Areas
-
Golf
Seven Canyons Golf Club, a Tom Weiskopf design about four miles out. A Preferred Partner arrangement, not a resort-owned course.
-
Kids Club
Camp Coyote, ages 4 to 12, four sessions a day: full day 8:30am to 3:30pm, half-days to noon and 12:30 to 3:30, and an evening slot 5 to 9pm. Reception asks for 24 hours' notice. No price is published and it sits outside the resort fee. Its counselor Colleen is the most praised staff member on the review record, in seven reviews across thirteen months.
-
Pets Allowed
Two animals per room in designated casitas, with no stated weight limit, contrary to the 75lb figure that circulates widely. The deep-cleaning fee is nonrefundable and unpublished, and barking disturbances carry a minimum $250 charge.
-
Pickleball
Court access with racquet loans is inside the resort fee. The property confirms courts without publishing a count, so the widely repeated six is unverified.
-
Restaurant
Four on site. Che Ah Chi holds a 2026 Wine Spectator Best of Award of Excellence with live music Thursday to Sunday; Tii Gavo is the casual Southwest room; The Edge is poolside; The Market is grab-and-go. Executive chef Matias Caceres has run the first two since October 2024. Breakfast is not included and the property's own package values it at up to $48 a guest.
-
Tennis
Court access with racquets inside the resort fee. Count unpublished.
-
WIFI
Property-wide, and Booking.com guests score it 9.0, though the four recent reviewers who mention connectivity average 2.5 stars. The platforms disagree.
- Zen Meditation Garden
Pricing & Availability
Enchantment Resort Spa Experience
Enchantment Resort owns no spa. It owns 70 acres of Boynton Canyon, 218 casitas facing red sandstone walls, and a gate onto one of Arizona’s best trails — and it borrows its spa from Mii amo, next door, on terms most guests discover only after they arrive.
The Spa, Specifically: Mii amo
Mii amo sits a few hundred yards from Enchantment’s front desk, same 70-acre compound, same Tanzerra ownership, and its 21 treatment rooms plus five-room consultation wing are the entirety of Enchantment’s spa proposition. Guests 16 and over book from Mii amo’s own card: 15 massage and bodywork formats from $265 to $740, eight facials from $265, where it pays to know which facial does what, and ceremonial work no other Arizona property carries. A 20% gratuity is standard, and guests report it on activities and the coffee market too. Without a treatment, the room rate buys the Fitness and Movement Studios, Hummingbird by reservation, and Crystal Grotto rituals twice daily. The gate covers everything wet. Living Room, pool, sauna, whirlpool and steam room open one hour either side of a booked service, that day only, so it helps to know how to use a sauna before the clock starts. And there is no plunge pool, whatever our last review told you: the only one here by that name belongs to Mii amo’s Journey guests.
Who’s Right, Who’s Wrong
Book Enchantment if the canyon is the point and the spa a bonus. Hikers, families and stargazers do well here: the Boynton Canyon trail starts at a property gate, Camp Coyote takes 4-to-12s four ways a day, and the resort astronomer works Tuesdays and Saturdays. Book elsewhere if you are coming to Sedona for a spa. You will pay $1,385 peak nights for two hours of somebody else’s thermal suite, on a day you managed to secure a treatment. Think of it as a very good hotel that happens to live next to a very good spa, and price the spa separately in your head.
Where It Sits in the Sedona Market
Sedona’s benchmark is Mii amo, and Enchantment shares its owner, its canyon and its front gate without sharing its spa. One score needs explaining: the facility number rates what a guest can use, not what stands on the compound. L’Auberge de Sedona owns a small dated spa outright and puts treatment tables over Oak Creek. Ambiente has the sauna and 40 glass-walled suites. What Enchantment holds that none can touch is the canyon and 400-plus miles of trail from the door. And the treatment gate I keep marking down is at its narrowest here: The Phoenician’s buys a whole day, this one buys two hours.
Updated August 2026: recalibrated 7.5 to 7.3 on a 249-review parse and five booking-engine checkouts, with every category moving. Corrections: the resort fee is $73.36 plus a $5.32 assessment, not $68–$78; Mii amo has 21 treatment rooms, not 26; the Five-Star wellness-resort claim is North America, not the world, and comes from Mii amo’s own release rather than Forbes; Enchantment guests get no cold plunge, and the cedar sauna is unsourced; breakfast runs to $48, not $20–$35; eleven room categories, not nine; and Grotto rituals are open to Enchantment guests.
Platform ratings: 4.4/5 across 6,783 TripAdvisor reviews (#12 of 39; subratings 4.9 location to 4.0 value), 4.5/5 across 2,076 on Google, and 9.1/10 on Booking.com from 195. Sources: enchantmentresort.com accommodation, access, fee, pet and arrivals pages; miiamo.com spa menu and ritual schedule; five booking-engine checkouts captured August 2026; Coconino Forest and Sedona fire notices; Forbes Travel Guide 2026 Star Awards. 249 reviews parsed, stays June 2025 to August 2026. Disclosure: 187 of the 249 carry a “collected in partnership with this hotel” flag worth +0.444 stars, are excluded from the quotes above, and are included in the theme averages. Data gaps: Enchantment’s pool count, the parking model, Camp Coyote and Trail House pricing, the pet fee, the sauna material, the current general manager. These six questions go to the property.

“The property is beyond gorgeous but the newly renovated MiiAmo spa does not offer anything extraordinary. The location will bring me back but the spa is definitely not the draw.”
TripAdvisor reviewer, November 2025
“You get access to the Mii Amo pool, which is nice and then the spa facilities, which are basic with a hot tub and dry/wet sauna.”
TripAdvisor reviewer, July 2025
“It's like there are two totally different companies running these places, the Enchantments and then Mii Amo.”
TripAdvisor reviewer, April 2026
“In particular we loved Colleen who lead the Coyote Camp for my three sons. It was one of the highlights of the trip.”

Frequently Asked Questions:
Where is Enchantment Resort, and how far is the airport?
Enchantment sits at 525 Boynton Canyon Rd, roughly eight miles and 15 to 20 minutes from Uptown Sedona at about 4,500 feet. The resort's own arrivals page puts Phoenix Sky Harbor two hours south, Flagstaff Pulliam an hour north, Prescott Regional an hour and a quarter, and Sedona Airport 20 minutes away for private flights. Grand Canyon South Rim is two and a half hours. You want a car or a booked transfer, and that is the resort's position too: it states plainly that Sedona ride-share "may not be readily available." There is no hotel shuttle. Groome Transportation runs a scheduled shared service from Sky Harbor from about $89 one-way, reserved ahead.
Does Enchantment Resort have its own spa?
No. This is a 218-casita nature and adventure resort in a red-rock box canyon, and every spa facility credited to it belongs to Mii amo next door. That distinction is the single most important thing to understand before booking, because it governs what you can use, when, and at what extra cost.
What does Mii amo access include?
Enchantment guests 16 and over get Mii amo's Fitness and Movement Studios, the twice-daily Crystal Grotto rituals, the Juice Bar and Boutique, and Hummingbird with a reservation, all without booking anything. The wet and communal spaces work differently: the Living Room, pool, sauna, whirlpool and steam room open one hour before and one hour after a booked spa service, on that day only. No treatment means no thermal access.
How much is the resort fee, and what does it cover?
A flat $73.36 per room per night, plus a $5.32 nightly destination assessment, so $78.68 in mandatory charges. Both are identical across all four seasons I checked, and neither is taxed. The fee covers parking, the Mii amo morning ritual and evening meditation, wellness presentations, Labyrinth Walk, vortex lectures, stargazing, Mii amo fitness classes, tennis and pickleball court access with racquet loans, and self-service laundry. Spa treatments, dining, golf, Camp Coyote, Trail House activities and bike rentals are all extra.
Is there a cold plunge?
Not for Enchantment guests. The resort's own communal-access list stops at the steam room, and the only plunge pool on the compound is Mii amo's Journey Plunge Pool, reserved for guests on a Journey program. A May 2026 reviewer looked for one and said so directly. If a cold plunge is on your list, this is the wrong booking.
What do treatments cost, and is gratuity added?
Mii amo's menu runs 15 massage and bodywork formats from $265 to $740, eight facials from $265 to $475, and five body treatments from $265 to $525. A 20% gratuity is standard. Guests report it applied more widely than the treatment menu, including on activities and on the grab-and-go market, where several describe tipping twice by accident. One reviewer put an hour-long massage at close to $400 all-in.
Can I get a treatment at short notice?
Often not, and this is the most consistent spa complaint on the record. Five guests in the recent review sample describe treatments booked out before they arrived, one of them past the point where the room could still be cancelled. A February 2026 reviewer titled a one-star review "worst spa ever" after finding nothing available all stay. Book treatments when you book the room, not after.
Is breakfast included?
No, and it is dearer than commonly reported. Enchantment's own Bed and Breakfast package values breakfast at up to $48 per registered guest including tax and gratuity. Che Ah Chi serves it from 6:30 to 11am, and The Market handles grab-and-go.
Is the resort family-friendly?
Yes, genuinely so, which sits oddly against the romantic positioning. Camp Coyote takes ages 4 to 12, two-bedroom suites and Haciendas hold larger groups, and the main pool is family territory. That 16-and-over rule applies only at Mii amo, so children cannot join you for anything on the spa side. Several reviewers put it bluntly: beautiful, but built for families rather than couples.
What is Camp Coyote, and when does it run?
A nature-based children's program for ages 4 to 12, running four ways: full day 8:30am to 3:30pm, morning half-day to noon, afternoon half-day 12:30 to 3:30, and an evening session 5 to 9pm. Reception asks for 24 hours' notice. No price appears anywhere, and it sits outside the resort fee. Its counselor Colleen is the most praised staff member on the entire review record.
How do you get around 70 acres?
By golf cart, and this is the resort's weakest operational link. Sixteen of the recent reviews describe waiting on the shuttle: one guest waited close to thirty minutes and nearly missed a spa appointment, another called for a cart wet and cold after Mii amo's whirlpool on a January night, a third gave up and drove. If anyone in your party has mobility limits, ask for a casita near the main lodge when you book.
Is the Boynton Canyon trail open after the Pocket Fire?
Yes. Pocket Fire ignited on June 19, 2026, reached 27,393 acres, and hit full containment on July 30. Boynton Canyon trail closed on July 13 and reopened on July 31, and Enchantment itself was never evacuated, took no damage and stayed open throughout. Several nearby trails remain closed, including West Fork, Secret Canyon, Dry Creek, HS Canyon, Bear Sign and David Miller. Worth knowing: the burn scar is 27% moderate and 3% high severity, which raises flash-flood risk through the monsoon. A flood warning covered the Sedona area on August 15, 2026, and Slide Rock's swim area is shut until October 1.
What are the dining options?
Four on site. Che Ah Chi is the flagship, modern American with a 2026 Wine Spectator Best of Award of Excellence and live music Thursday to Sunday. Tii Gavo is the casual Southwest room with a firepit terrace and 500-plus wines. The Edge is open-air poolside, and The Market is grab-and-go. Executive chef Matias Caceres runs the first two. Enchantment guests can also book Hummingbird at Mii amo with advance notice.
Can I bring my dog?
Yes, two animals per room, in designated casitas. Enchantment states no weight limit, contrary to the 75lb figure that circulates widely, and charges a nonrefundable deep-cleaning fee it does not publish. Dogs are barred from restaurants, pool areas, the lobby, meeting space, tennis courts and the spa and fitness center, leashes cap at six feet, and there is a minimum $250 charge for barking disturbances.
When should I go, and how much do rates move?
More than most of Sedona. Across five booking-engine checkouts on the same Junior Suite, an April peak night ran $1,385 to $1,590, late January $765 to $925, and late July $650 to $725, so peak to trough runs about 2.1 times on comparable nights and 2.45 at the extremes. Two things to plan around: early September is barely a discount, at 83% of April pricing, and on the Labor Day booking the holiday Monday was the cheapest night of the stay at $1,020, a quarter below the Sunday before it.
How This Review Works
Every SpaRator score is built the same way: six equally weighted categories, scored from more than 40 documented data points per property through independent spa and hotel facility research and analysis of thousands of verified guest reviews, then averaged, never hand-tuned. The result is a consistent, comparable rating across every property we cover. How SpaRator works
