1. Sedona Pines Resort
The Vibe
This resort feels secluded, sitting off Route 89A with a sense of isolation couples appreciate. Cleanliness scores a 9.1, and the pool area plus putter golf course draw consistent praise. It’s 20 minutes from Cathedral Rock, perfect for morning hikes before retreating to the quiet grounds.
What You Actually Get
Rooms come with charcoal grills on most decks, plus gas grills near the activity area if you want to cook for two. A fitness center, outdoor swimming pool, and free private parking are all standard. Heads up: housekeeping only kicks in for stays of 3+ nights. The resort is undergoing an asphalt project starting March 2026, so check dates before booking for full peace and quiet on the grounds.
Choose this if: You want a self-contained resort with golf and pool access — the 9.1 cleanliness score is one of the best here.
2. Arabella Hotel Sedona
The Vibe
A 9.5 location score puts you steps from Hillside Shops and galleries in Red Rock Country. The seasonal pool and year-round hot tub get regular use, and guests rave about the stargazing and music entertainment. Breakfast runs 6:30-10 AM on weekends — a solid start for a couples getaway.
What You Actually Get
Coffee, tea, and lotions are generously stocked, and the courtyard rooms are the only pet-friendly ones (Standard rooms aren’t). Wi-Fi scores 9.1, free parking’s included, and the breakfast buffet gets high marks for variety. Only a handful of courtyard rooms allow pets, so book early if bringing your pup.

Several top options welcome pets. Element by Marriott Sedona charges a one-time $50 cleaning fee for dogs.

April to May and September to November offer the best weather for hiking and outdoor activities without extreme heat.
