In Brief
Are there all-inclusive resorts in Sedona?
One, and it will not take your children. Mii amo in Boynton Canyon prints the words all-inclusive Mii amo Journey and covers the room, three meals a day, a daily spa credit and, in its own words, all taxes, gratuities and fees. It also states that it welcomes guests aged 16 and over, and it sells fixed-length Journeys on set arrival days rather than nights, and it publishes no price. Every other property tested sells one of four lesser things: a percentage resort fee, a flat resort fee, a daily spending credit against an ordinary bill, or a breakfast capped at two people. The comparison worth making is with Greater Phoenix two hours south, where the same test on twelve properties also found exactly one genuine all-inclusive, and that one accepts nobody under 18.
Key takeaways
- 0 of 11 sell an all-inclusive plan a family can book
- The one genuine plan is 16 and over and publishes no price
- Two resorts charge a percentage of the room rate rather than a sum
- A Sedona-wide tourism assessment exists that nobody prices
What the rate covers, and what it does not
Read the fee structure before the fee amount. A percentage fee cannot be totalled in advance and rises with the room, so the family booking the larger unit pays the most for amenities aimed at adults. A flat fee can at least be added up, and only one property here publishes one. Two properties confirm a fee exists and refuse to say what it is, which makes a stay there impossible to cost from the operator's own site. And read the age lines, because five of the eleven publish an adults-only zone or a minimum age, and they are frequently the same properties selling a family suite.

Which resort suits which family
| If this is you | Book | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Looking for an all-inclusive because you want one | Look outside Arizona | Sedona has one genuine all-inclusive and it takes nobody under 16. Greater Phoenix has one and it takes nobody under 18. Two markets, the same answer, one age band apart. |
| Trying to know the total before you book | Arabella Hotel Sedona | It is the only property here publishing no resort fee at all, on a policies page that itemises pet and smoking charges, so the absence is meaningful rather than an oversight. |
| Willing to pay a fee but wanting it quantified | Outbound Sedona | 35 dollars plus tax, printed by the operator as 39.87. It is the only flat fee in town and the only one showing the tax-inclusive figure. |
| Wanting childcare and accepting the cost is unknown | Enchantment Resort | Camp Coyote for ages 4 to 12 is the only staffed kids club in Sedona. The resort fee that part-funds it has no published amount. |
| Comparing two properties on price | Check whether either fee is a percentage | Two of these charge 10 per cent of the room rate rather than a sum, so the bigger room a family needs costs more in fees for amenities aimed at adults. |
What the bands mean
Sedona is a resort-fee town, and the structure matters more than the amount because most of these fees cannot be added up before you book. Two properties charge a percentage of the nightly room rate rather than a fixed sum, both at exactly 10 per cent, which is the commonest structure here and which means a family needing a bigger room pays more resort fee for the same yoga class. Only one property in the whole town publishes a flat dollar fee: 35 dollars plus tax, which the operator itself prints as 39.87, and it is the only one that shows the tax-inclusive figure. Two more confirm a fee exists and publish no amount anywhere, one of them only inside the terms of a discount offer. One publishes no resort fee at all. On top of that sits a charge nobody prices: one operator's FAQ documents a Local Tourism Assessment Fee collected from participating Sedona hotels, and no amount appears anywhere, including on that operator's own resort fee page. Parking is separate again, and one property charges 10 dollars a night for it on top of a fee its own FAQ says already covers valet.

The 10 resorts, and the plan to book at each
Boynton Canyon, Sedona
Mii amo
€€€€The only genuine all-inclusive product in Sedona, and the reason this page exists: it welcomes guests aged 16 and over.
- Room to book
- Book this room: Nothing, for a family with a child under 16
- Pools and slides
- Access to the Enchantment pools, which that resort names as a main pool and adult pools: minimum height Not applicable · Not published
- Right for
- Two adults on a destination spa stay.
- Wrong for
- Wrong for: Any family with a child under sixteen, on the operator's own rule.
- The catch
- The catch: For the audience of this page the drawback is total: the one Sedona property that really does sell all-inclusive will not accept your children. On top of that it sells fixed-length Journeys rather than nights, and it publishes no price at all.
Off State Route 179, Sedona
Arabella Hotel Sedona
€€Best all roundThe closest thing Sedona has to a straight answer on cost: no resort fee published anywhere, on a policies page that itemises everything else.
- Room to book
- Book this room: A room in the courtyard, though no occupancy figure is published
- Pools and slides
- Two heated pools: minimum height Not applicable · Not published · heated
- Right for
- A family who want to know the bill before they arrive, which almost nothing else here allows.
- Wrong for
- Wrong for: Anyone who wants to eat dinner where they sleep.
- The catch
- The catch: There is no spa, no kids club and no restaurant beyond breakfast, so evening meals mean driving. Guests must be 18 at check-in, which is a booking-party rule rather than an exclusion of children.
State Route 179, Sedona
Outbound Sedona
€€€Best valueThe only flat-dollar resort fee in Sedona, and the only operator that prints the tax-inclusive figure beside it.
- Room to book
- Book this room: The Deluxe Two Queen Adventure room
- Pools and slides
- The Moonwater Pool plus hot tubs: minimum height Not applicable · Not published
- Right for
- A family who want a fee they can actually add up.
- Wrong for
- Wrong for: Anyone reading the homepage closely, for the reason below.
- The catch
- The catch: The property reopened under a new name and the operator's own homepage copy bleeds in amenity claims from sister hotels in other states, so a family can easily attribute a facility to Sedona that is somewhere else entirely. It was Poco Diablo, so any list naming both is counting one resort twice.
L'Auberge Lane, Uptown Sedona
L'Auberge de Sedona
€€€€A ten per cent nightly fee, two operator pages that disagree about what it buys, and the only mention of a Sedona-wide tourism assessment.
- Room to book
- Book this room: A Cliffs Junior Suite Fireplace at 510 square feet, published for four with a king and a sleeper sofa
- Pools and slides
- Two resort pools and two hot tubs, one adults only: minimum height Not applicable · The Duck Pond Cliffside pool is published as dawn until dusk
- Right for
- A family who want the creekside flagship and will accept an unpriceable bill.
- Wrong for
- Wrong for: Anyone with a thirteen-year-old, counted as an adult in the operator's own booking form.
- The catch
- The catch: A family cannot compute this bill from the operator's own site. The resort fee is a percentage rather than an amount, the two pages describing it disagree on most of what it includes, and the tourism assessment on top has no published figure at all.
Amara Lane, Uptown Sedona
Amara Resort and Spa
€€€Ten per cent of the room rate, plus ten dollars a night for parking, on top of a fee the operator's own FAQ says already includes valet.
- Room to book
- Book this room: The Patio Family One Bedroom Suite, with a king and a bunk room
- Pools and slides
- One heated zero-edge infinity pool and a hot tub: minimum height Not applicable · Not published · heated
- Right for
- A family of four who want Uptown on foot and the creek below.
- Wrong for
- Wrong for: Anyone trying to total the bill before booking.
- The catch
- The catch: The bill is built from two moving parts a family cannot pin down in advance: a percentage resort fee and a 10 dollar nightly parking charge that sits on top of a fee the operator says already covers valet.
Boynton Canyon, Sedona
Enchantment Resort
€€€€A mandatory daily resort fee with no published amount, funding nine items of which two are barred to under-16s.
- Room to book
- Book this room: A casita or suite, though no occupancy is published on the family page
- Kids club
- Kids club: 4 to 12 · Full day and half-day sessions, with an evening session published · runs through lunch · Not published
- Pools and slides
- A main pool and adult pools, named in the resort fee inclusions: minimum height Not applicable · Not published
- Right for
- A family with children aged four to twelve who want the only childcare in town.
- Wrong for
- Wrong for: A family with a teenager, and anyone who wants the fee quantified.
- The catch
- The catch: The two things the resort is most famous for, the spa and the wellness programming, are 16 and over, and they are two of the nine items the mandatory unpriced daily resort fee is said to cover. So a family with younger children pays for amenities it cannot use and cannot find out how much.
West State Route 89A, West Sedona
The Wilde Resort and Spa
€€€Confirms a resort fee exists only inside the terms and conditions of a discount offer, and never says what it is.
- Room to book
- Book this room: One of the four suites, which is the whole suite inventory
- Pools and slides
- A heated pool and hot tubs, plus a gated adults-only Hydro Spa: minimum height Not applicable · Not published · heated
- Right for
- A small family who value the published rollaway price.
- Wrong for
- Wrong for: Anyone who needs to know the total before arriving.
- The catch
- The catch: A family cannot price this stay in advance. The resort fee is confirmed to exist only in the small print of a discount, with no amount and no inclusion list published anywhere, which is the least transparent fee found in Sedona.
Village of Oak Creek, State Route 179
Hilton Sedona Resort at Bell Rock
€€€Included with a warning: almost nothing could be established, because the brand site refused every request for eight hours at a time.
- Room to book
- Book this room: Not established
- Pools and slides
- Two pools, the better of them a 25-metre adult lap pool: minimum height Not applicable · Not published · heated
- Right for
- Nobody who is booking from published facts today.
- Wrong for
- Wrong for: A family who wants the better of the two pools, which is the adult one.
- The catch
- The catch: Of two pools the better one, a 25-metre heated lap pool, is the adult pool. And the two things a family most wants folded into a rate, breakfast and parking, are sold as two rates you must choose between. Everything else here is unestablished and is flagged as such rather than filled in from a third party.
Portal Lane, Sedona
Los Abrigados Resort and Spa, a Hilton Vacation Club
€€Fails on a different axis from everything else here: it sells timeshare ownership rather than nights.
- Room to book
- Book this room: Studios through two-bedroom suites, all with partial kitchens
- Pools and slides
- A heated swimming pool: minimum height Not applicable · Not published · heated
- Right for
- Nobody looking for a hotel, which is the point of including it.
- Wrong for
- Wrong for: A family trying to book a week.
- The catch
- The catch: It is a timeshare. The published prices on the operator's own page are ownership prices, and the page states outright that its purpose is soliciting timeshare ownership, so a family searching this phrase and landing there is not looking at a bookable resort at all.
State Route 89A, West Sedona
Sky Rock Sedona, a Tribute Portfolio Hotel
€€€No board plan and no children's programming, on a property whose daily activity schedule is entirely adult wellness.
- Room to book
- Book this room: A Two Queens room, since every published category is a single room
- Pools and slides
- One outdoor heated pool: minimum height Not applicable · Not published · heated
- Right for
- A family of four in one room who came for the view.
- Wrong for
- Wrong for: Anyone hoping the daily programme includes their children.
- The catch
- The catch: Every published category is a one-room hotel room, so there is no suite and no connecting product, and the free daily activity schedule contains nothing a child would attend.
Where not to book in Sedona
Four traps. The first is the percentage fee, charged by two properties at exactly 10 per cent of the nightly room rate, which cannot be totalled before booking and rises with the room size, so families are structurally the worst affected. The second is the fee with no number, at two more properties, one of which confirms the fee exists only inside the terms and conditions of a discount offer. The third is the Local Tourism Assessment Fee, documented by one operator as collected from participating Sedona hotels, with no amount published anywhere in the town, including on that operator's own resort fee page. And the fourth is the renamed property, because three Sedona resorts trade under new names and any list carrying both halves of a pair is counting one hotel twice: Poco Diablo is now Outbound Sedona, Sedona Rouge is now The Wilde, and Orchards Inn is now The Cliffs within L'Auberge. A fourth, Los Abrigados, is now a Hilton Vacation Club timeshare whose own site publishes ownership prices rather than a nightly rate.
When to book
Establish the fee structure first, then the age lines, then the room. On tax, Sedona straddles two counties and the city itself states two different combined figures depending on which side you are on, and one operator's own arithmetic corroborates the higher of the two. Those figures are carried here from city and state pages read through a search index rather than from a rendered page, because both the state revenue and city domains refused every direct request, so treat the tax line as needing one confirmation before you budget on it. The same caveat applies to the Hilton property on this page, where the brand site returned a 403 with an eight-hour retry window on every attempt and almost nothing could be established.
