7 reviews for Mii amo
Excellent, eclectic menu that changes daily. No shortage of enticing options on the thoroughly healthy menu and I appreciate the nutrition facts listed below each item. The open kitchen adds to the atmosphere and the chef's clearly take presentation seriously.
Best when paired with a treatment from the Enchantment Spa and consumed in one of their flowing robes.
LOVE the restaurant at Mii amo spa. The food was really fresh and delicious, and they tell you all the nutritional information about each dish. Also, how often can you eat delicious food in your robe and have a front-row view of the Boynton Canyon walls?
The pools (an indoor and an outdoor one) are somewhat small but nice and the locker rooms are some of the nicest I've seen. I think I spent an hour showering and using various products on my face and hair afterward.
Also - take a minute in the crystal room to meditate. I didn't try any spa treatments, so take that into account of my review.
Overpriced, but in a wonderful setting and some great amenities. I'm not familiar enough with the genre, but I'm going to call it new age. It is in the middle of a vortex and there are plenty of aura type readings in addition to standard massages & treatments. All of which are worthwhile if you're willing to shell out the cash. They're probably not worth the cash, but if you're there, you might as well enjoy it.
The amenities aren't particularly nice but they somehow still do the job. The pool is just big enough to swim laps & is in a very gorgeous setting. The gym is nothing special, but in a place like this, you're better off taking yoga/meditation courses any how. The day walks are enjoyable, mainly because of the setting, not as much about the lecture, but on any given day you might be overtaken by the vortex, if you're into that sort of thing.
The food is phenomenal. It has a healthy bent to it and is still phenomenal, much better than l'auberge (which is pretty good) and way better than the food sold at the enchantment, which is not all that good. They also offer cooking classes, which are enjoyable depending on the group that shows up for it and is a great way to sample the chef's wares.

According to their marking materials they were rated the 3rd best spa in the world. I'm not sure what year that was but I don't really believe them. I mean my massage was great but it did not change my life. The spa itself is nice and clean. They have three pools one indoor that heated to a nice 86 degrees and they also have a pool outside that I think was about 80. The hot tub was really hot...about a 100 or so. While outside you're surrounded by the red rocks and its just absolutely beautiful and serene.
My spa treatment was really nice and the rooms were very peaceful. I do have to note that it was on the pricier side. My massage was $145 for a hour and that didn't include tax or tip.

5 stars my ass! Anyone who gives this place 5 stars either got very, very, very lucky or has never stayed at a true 5 star resort. I've been to Mii Amo/Enchantment several times over several years, which is enough to know that the only thing about this place worth 5 stars is the location. And I'm pretty sure the resort manager didn't build Boynton canyon.
This place is insanely over-priced not not even remotely worth a visit.
Pros:
1. Beautiful setting
2. Nice view from most of the rooms
3. Beautiful spa
4. Great tennis courts
5. Excellent bell staff (the only part of any of the staff that's excellent or even above average)
Cons:
1. The food and service in both restaurants is awful. Especially the service. Plan on driving into town for every meal.
---Tii Gavo--I ordered ribs and got very sick that night. Wife ordered a burger (no cheese) and they brought her a cheeseburger. She sent it back and they merely scraped off the cheese. What a bunch of morons.
---Two days later we had lunch at Tii Gavo. Again, the order came out wrong. And again, there was no special order.
---Yavapai--had brunch there. Saw our waiter about 10 minutes after being seated. He took our order then disappeared into the Bermuda Triangle, never to be seen again.
2. Business services are shoddy and not up to par. For even a 3 star hotel.
3. Outside of the tennis courts, the game and recreation facilities and equipment are 3 star, not 5 star caliber.
4. There are some angry people working in the spa:
---The lady who led the "vortex walk" kept making angry, bitter comments about men. No joke!
---Received a 100% horrible massage. I naively asked the masseuse about the many different treatments the spa offers. My girlfriend said that when I wasn't looking, the masseuse was rolling her eyes at me. She then gave me the most half-assed, worthless, rushed massage I've ever received.
5. The people who handle reservations do an awful job at giving proper information. And the rest of the resort does a fairly poor job of managing guest expectations.
6. The pool at the spa is great, but kids aren't allowed there. The mian pool is pretty dated and needs some major remodeling.

Take away Boyton Canyon (since Mii Amo has nothing to do with it and you can see it for free anyway) and you get a 1.8 star average.

I did enjoy my second massage (yes I got 2, I was on my honeymoon, I was allowed). But the first one was done in a bright ass room and the lady spent too much time on my shoulders. I wanted to tell her that she needed to move lower, but then I realized that I would sound pervy.
Also the facilities were alright, but I've been too many other spas with nicer locker rooms. Also, when you get into the locker room, the lady that gives you your robe was either never there or a complete spaz. Sometimes they would just leave robes and shoes out and it was a first come first serve kinda a thing...not really 5 star spa service if you ask me. And THEN they ran out of lockers and were asking people to put their stuff in plastic bags and telling them to leave them out for the staff to pick up...GHETTO FABULOUS. I guess I was just lucky enough to scam a locker off some lady that was finished at the spa.
The indoor pool is nice and if you are into hippie dippie treatments like getting your chakra in tune with your soul then this is the place for you.

What An Amazing Place
In August, my girlfriend who lives in Switzerland and I were lucky enough to have a 4 night journey at the Miiamo Spa and Resort. This is an all inclusive spa destination set among the Red Rocks in Boynton Canyon. We were in heaven.
We prepared for our trip ahead of time via email and our package included 8 spa treatments, all meals, our casita room, activities such as yoga, pilates, hikes, tai chi. It was a fun process and the staff at Miiamo helped us customize our schedule around our preferences.
We flew into Phoenix and drove to Sedona. When we arrived, the gate announced our arrival and we were greeted at our car with cold water. We were told to leave the car and they would park it and take our bags up to our room. We were led to the spa reception desk and given special welcome beads. Our room was perfect and on our beds were our itinerary of our treatments and activities, along with a tote bag, water bottle and a beautiful spa robe......all to take home!
We had an orientation and dinner the first evening with Ashley who was an awesome host who we got to know. The wonderful thing about some of the staff is that they come from all over the world. They have a great program where students come to work and learn the hospitality industry. 4 Stars for Enchantment for an inspiring program.
Every morning, there was orange juice and a paper at our door. We didn't want for anything because everything was there at Miiamo. The facilities are beautiful. I must note that we stayed in the Miiamo Casitas which is within the Spa facilities which is separate from the Enchantment Resort which is across the way. The Enchantment guests also have the use of the spa, activities and the Cafe. It was most serene and quiet at the Spa. We walked around in our spa robes and lounged anywhere we wanted. The food at the Cafe which was included in our package was wonderful, healthy and the wait staff was fabulous. If you couldn't have one of your meals in the Cafe, they would deliver it to your room or pack it up for you to take with you. The best of all was that the gratuitys on all meals and spa treatments was included in the package price and so you didn't need to worry about signing anything or figuring out what to leave for a tip. It was amazingly relaxing. Every night we would go back to our room and there was a little present left for us on the bed....no, not a mint or chocolate...but a small token with a card. We looked forward to our next surprise each evening.
The spa treatments were heavenly. I recommend the Watsu Massage. This was the best treatment I had. All the Estheticians and Massage Therapists were fabulous. Fall asleep fabulous.
I highly recommend a "journey" at Miiamo. Fabulous location, spa resort and great service. I will go back as soon as I can.
