We went here to enjoy the adero star dudes presentation. We got there a little early so I went to the bar and had a drink beforehand. The bartender was extremely nice and made some really great cocktails. After that we went out and enjoyed looking through the telescope and being told about what we were looking at. Once that was done we went back inside and ended up sitting at the bar again and ordering some food. It was delicious. The view from Adero is stunning and I highly recommend it

We had a nice weekend stay at Adero Scottsdale and overall enjoyed our time. The staff was consistently friendly and welcoming, and the grounds were beautiful—perfect for a relaxing getaway. We especially loved the gym, which was well-equipped and included Peloton bikes, making it easy to keep up with workouts while away. One staff member truly went above and beyond to make me feel special while celebrating my birthday, which was very much appreciated. He also handled an issue promptly and professionally when I encountered a moldy salad from the grab-and-go station, which made a big difference in how that situation was resolved. We had dinner at Cielo during our stay—while on the expensive side, the food was very good and felt like a worthwhile splurge. Another highlight was the stargazing event offered by the resort; it was fantastic and a really unique experience that added something special to our weekend. That said, there were a few disappointments. Although the resort has two tennis courts and six pickleball courts, there were only two tennis rackets and two pickleball paddles available for rent. One of the tennis rackets was broken, which meant we weren’t able to play at all. This felt like an easy area for improvement, and upgraded sports equipment would go a long way. The hot tub was also not hot and appeared dirty at the bottom, which was disappointing. Additionally, after returning late one night (close to midnight) from a nearby casino, we were surprised to find that none of the side entrances to the hotel were locked, which felt like a safety oversight. Overall, we had a pleasant stay and enjoyed our time in Fountain Hills. While there were some great moments and standout staff interactions, the resort didn’t quite meet the level that would make us go out of our way to stay here again.

I love Adero. I've lived in Fountain Hills for four years and Adero is always my favorite place to get away to. The hotel is located in the canyon that has arguably some of the best views of Four Peaks Mountains in the state. The service has always been top notch from the bar and the waitstaff when dining. The bar manager Ricco always says hello and makes sure we are well taken care of. The hotel pool is beautiful that overlooks the town of Fountain Hills and faces Four Peaks Mountains. The food has always been great and consistent. The rooms are nice and quite for a great night sleep. The hotel gym is very large and also serves as a private club. Pickleball, tennis, and some of the best hiking trails that connect directly to the property. I'll always be a big fan of Adero and the staff!

This is a really nice hotel with very clean spaces and wonderful amenities. it's in a desert area so don't expect to walk to shops, instead plan to enjoy the facilities and uber /drive around if needed. the restaurant, gym, and spa are fantastic! I would like especially to shout out the barista, the spa therapists Monique and Dominique, and our servers Sean and Rebecca who were all great professionals and delivered exceptional service. The front desk manager as well was really thoughtful and explained all the different features of the rooms given we had an eccentricity with our reservation (from our own booking, not the hotel). The value for dollar here is excellent too, I personally found the food quality was amazing. My only request is to switch to Coke products rather than pepsi :) We had such a great time here and will be back.

We loved our stay at Adero. While there are a couple things that should be stressed. Highly recommend renting a car. We paid a ton of money for Ubers and also scheduled to have an uber take us to airport and Uber cancelled the ride at the exact time we were supposed to be picked up, leaving us scrambling to get new ride and racing to airport. The hotel really should offer a shuttle, IMO. While they will shuttle to close by places not to airport. The pool is great but only offers poolside service during weekend. Our room was fabulous, we had a corner suite, with amazing views. Hotel staff was phenomenal and tried to accommodate anyway possible. Hotel shuttle took us to wicked Six bar and grill which is Dry Ridge golf club… we had an amazing dinner with live music, highly recommend. Breakfast at Cielo was never a let down, so good! Bar staff was ok, and drinks were pretty expensive. IMO. Overall we enjoyed our stay! Phenomenal views.

Omgosh, the views!!!! This place sits in the right spot overlooking amazing mountain range. The rooms are spacious and more than enough amenities to stay here for much longer than a week. For those EV owners, they only have Tesla chargers, so don't plan on charging here if you don't have a Tesla. The nearest fast charger is a Shell charger 10 minutes away, in front of a gym. Its only a 50K, so plan on being there for awhile. Luckily, there is an amazing coffee shop with an awesome staff and plenty of room to chill while your EV charges.

If you are looking for a beautiful stay with nice staff this is a great option. Our room was very nice and clean. We used the pool and hot tub looking over the valley. Nice fitness center and options for spa. The food service staff was wonderful but the food is average. I'd recommend hitting some local restaurants. The cheeseburger and fries were excellent here but other options we tasted were a 4 star. Drinks and wine were really good! I'd recommend this hotel to travelers! Beautiful atmosphere with fire tables outside and inside. Overall 5 star experience for us. Thank you.
