We were attending a business meeting, but it could have easily been a romantic getaway….Montelucia!

Nestled at the base of Arizona’s Camelback Mountain sits a romantic oasis and if you are in need of a getaway, this could be it!  Ditch your cell phone and enjoy!  The Spanish and Moroccan influence on this resort encourages every guest to relax and between meetings, I tried with all my might to do just that!

The Joya Spa- You can’t miss it!  The fountains outside beckon even the most preoccupied visitor to enter.  Manicures, facials, massages, the steam room, fitness classes and more cater to your physical and mental well being! Make sure you visit the spa pool that overlooks Camelback Mountain.  It’s a breathtaking view and my pictures show it!

Food is plentiful.  ROQ is a delightful poolside café.  Its fries are award winning and the salads, sandwiches and burgers are quite tasty.  Our lunch for two was delicious and timely as the waiter did a great job helping us meet a tee time at Grayhawk Golf Club.  If you have a LARGE group, let them know you are coming or allow plenty of time.  CRAVE CAFÉ is a delightful deli/gift shop that satisfies…..you guessed it….anything you crave. Drinks can be found at MBAR and PRADO is the perfect spot for that romantic Italian dinner.  Make sure you sit near one of the outdoor fires or under the many twinkling lights. 

Walk the property! The flowers, vines, hummingbirds, cacti and palm trees are refreshing and you may just discover a few swimming pools, fountains and waterfalls!
