MIRAVAL Resort & Spa REVIEW (Tuscan, AZ)

[@phenomenal5537]

The resort sounds great, but those critiques are spot on for what I'd expect at a high end spa. Thanks for sharing 🙏

[@AnnieParkerConfidential]

Yes totally - it’s a really great experience but it’s the details. Every time a service provider yelled “SHELLI!!??” It was like a pebble in my shoe🥹

[@itsthatgirlbee]

I could just cry! I would love this!! Definitely looking into it for later when Az cools down!

[@AnnieParkerConfidential]

It's such a magical place ;-)

[@freespirit7114]

Very informative!! Sounds like a great getaway for good friends !! Thank you for all the great tips like planning hikes and services early!!

[@AnnieParkerConfidential]

My pleasure! Yes it's PERFECT for besties of any kind. Last time I went with my sister, this year I'm taking Mom. Some women were there by themselves to recharge. It's such a come-as-you-are kind of place, you always feel welcomed ;-)

[@jerrycarolnezat6064]

It looks very rejuvenating. I love the desert sunrises n sunsets and always thought they were a nice way to start or end the day.

[@AnnieParkerConfidential]

You’d love it 💕

[@yoyohoiyiuko4228]

Loved this review! Please do one for Canyon Ranch if you can!

[@AnnieParkerConfidential]

You’re on it! I’ll add it to the list. 😊

[@mariancounsellor]

Arizona is on my dream list! I don't think I'd go to dinner in a robe but it's good to know about the rules/norms of the resort.

[@AnnieParkerConfidential]

😂 I totally had robe-dinner 🫣💕

[@jackieduran8368]

So glad I found your channel! You’re amazing!

[@AnnieParkerConfidential]

Thank you so much, Jackie! Welcome to the community - I’m happy you are here ;-)

[@jonathanbolanos3825]

Great review. Thank you.

[@AnnieParkerConfidential]

Thanks for watching!

[@TinaAnn.]

Thank you for sharing your experience, it was very helpful

[@AnnieParkerConfidential]

You are so welcome!

[@glamourandmoore]

I live only 2.5 hours from this resort! Definitely adding this to my spa bucket list. Thanks for all the info ☺️ Loving the luxury spa series!

[@AnnieParkerConfidential]

Tracy you MUST! Especially if you live close. I actually just found out that from time to time, they offer Double Occupancy rates (so you can split the room cost with a friend). SO.... I'm going again with my sister in August, lol. ;-). Maybe I'll see you there!

[@dinikalala5634]

Aww thanks for the shoutout Annie... love your videos!

[@AnnieParkerConfidential]

you are so welcome! I love having you here

[@susanfusuma6472]

Aloha from Honolulu, Annie! I am brand new subscriber and I am loving that you are including luxury travel to your to your channel. You made this video about 1 1/2 years ago so I'm not certain if you ever read comments from your older videos. My boyfriend and I traveling to Phoenix, AZ in March 2025 and thinking of staying at one of these wellness resorts just for a couple of day for the experience, but not quiet sure if we want to spend this kind of $$$. So I'm wondering if you ever reviewed Canyon Ranch in Tucson yet, or would that be the same as a Miraval? PS- who's Shelli?

[@AnnieParkerConfidential]

Aloha beautiful lady! Since this video I’ve been back to Miraval 2 more times. I have not done Canyon Ranch because Miraval is so amazing, I’ve put off trying Canyon. There were a number of couples there, and it’s incredibly relaxing. Worth the $$ imo. Shelli is me - I named the channel Annie Parker because they’re 2 favorite female names that I felt embodied the brand: warm & welcoming (Annie) and flair of strength & sophistication (Parker) 💕🤗

[@secondeve610]

Just joined your channel! Looking forward to some more spa critiques! Do you ever cruise? If so, I'd like to hear about them! Thank you, you are so perfect!

[@AnnieParkerConfidential]

Welcome @Secondeve ! I'm happy to have you as part of our community. Here's another Spa review I did of Rancho Valencia in San Diego, CA: kzbin.info/www/bejne/eHSsi2yvj795m8U I've only cruised a couple of times, but will probably do so again in the future so that I can review for everyone ;-). I mean - SOMEONE'S gotta do it, right ;-)

[@second.kingdom]

Everybody needs a spa day! Miraval doesn't sound like my cup of tea--but I'm really glad you reviewed it, so now I know! :-)

[@AnnieParkerConfidential]

Now you know! ;-)

[@southjerseymidwifery]

Exactly, not my cup of tea…

[@carak4356]

This was like getting to go there. I watched while spinning and it was such a fun treat ❤

[@AnnieParkerConfidential]

Isn't it relaxing?? I rewatched it myself just so I could relax lol

[@ilovelatinx]

Love the review! Thank you :)

[@AnnieParkerConfidential]

My pleasure!

[@InspiresKelly]

Thank you for posting this!! So, if I were to share a double bedroom with someone they don't get to all that is included to?

[@AnnieParkerConfidential]

Hi Kelly! Pricing based on single occupancy (what I’m talking about in the video) means that the room price is per person. So, if the room is $1k/night, and you want to share the room with a friend - you BOTH pay $1k /night, and of course you BOTH get everything that is included. So, you may as well get your own rooms - as it’s the same price. HOWEVER- from time to time Miraval will run a “double occupancy” special - in which case the price of the room is based on double occupancy- so you and a friend can room together, split the price, and yes - both receive everything that is included 🫠💕

[@southjerseymidwifery]

I wont be going… because your critiques were major pet peeves for me, and for the price, I expect luxury and full on pampering without being treated like I’m in line waiting for my sandwich order. I am pricing resorts and planning a huge trip for 12 guests. We are considering CIVANA because Miraval hasn’t been living up to standards from what I have heard in a few video reviews. I’m also interested in something more holistic, organic, low tox, etc.

[@AnnieParkerConfidential]

Oh good - thank you Nicole! This is exactly why I always include “cons” on every review. I want you to at least know, so you can decide whether it’s worth it 💕 I haven’t heard of CIVANA, but I’m going to look it up. You’re undoubtedly incredibly organized to plan such a nice trip for 12! 💕

[@elleenge2978]

Thanks for this review! I can’t wait to go. Did you take part in the equine experience?

[@AnnieParkerConfidential]

Hi Elle! I did not take part (equine) BUT my sister and I are going back to Miraval in August, and I'm DEFINITELY scheduling it. My girlfriend did it, and she said it was truly amazing, relaxing and peaceful ;-)

[@elleenge2978]

@@AnnieParkerConfidential thanks so much! I’m going in June and am so excited!

[@AnnieParkerConfidential]

@@elleenge2978 I’m SO EXCITED FOR YOU!!! Pls let me know what you thought about it afterwards!!

[@crecasens]

No, your critiques are not nitpicky. I think they are reasonable expectations for that price point.

[@AnnieParkerConfidential]

@@crecasens I think so too 😉

[@JessicaRodriguez-wh2ks]

I’m sorry, I couldn’t help but notice you titled it in Tuscan Arizona? It’s Tucson, Arizona

[@AnnieParkerConfidential]

Yes I know - it was a typo.💕

[@cherieheid3094]

Tucson is spelled wrong in your video title!! MIRAVAL Resort & Spa REVIEW (Tuscan, AZ)

[@AnnieParkerConfidential]

I know. Saw that after it was posted.

[@martacasablanca]

I just came back from a week-long SPA retreat myself :D granted, not a luxury one, but it was nice and relaxing, anyway ;)

[@AnnieParkerConfidential]

OMG don't you feel amazing??? I'm so happy for you Marta - you DESERVE that one! ;-)

[@ptaber7588]

To reassure you: coyotes howling don't mean they have made a kill. That's one of those pesky urban myths. They are simply communicating. Perhaps you heard them because they are a spirit animal of yours.

[@AnnieParkerConfidential]

Oh good!!!! Lol, that really makes me feel better - my heart sunk when I heard them howling. Part of me was crushed, thinking they killed a poor animal, the other part thought... "But they have to eat, too.," Maybe there ARE my spirit animal!!! 💕

[@stephaniedoan7114]

Hi

[@AnnieParkerConfidential]

Hi Stephanie ;-)

[@monicamartinez7871]

It’s Tucson not Tuscan and it is beautiful, serene and worth it 😊

[@AnnieParkerConfidential]

It was an accidental typo, but thank you.

[@mrsmorgann0000]

Thank you for the review. Incidentally the critiques that you mentioned were not nit-picky at all. For the amount of money being spent, that should be the expectation; complete world-class service. I don't believe Oprah received that type of service?

[@AnnieParkerConfidential]

Completely agree. (It is the expectation). Especially considering that they market it as a high-end luxury destination with commensurate pricing. 🥰

[@vickienezat3326]

Pretty sure your SISTER would love this. Just sayin'! lol

[@AnnieParkerConfidential]

Perhaps she WOULD as long as she is NICE to her big sister 😌

[@kwell2307]

Tuscan = Tucson.

[@AnnieParkerConfidential]

Yes I know. I’ve noted several times that it was a typo.

[@sandralevineprod]

@@AnnieParkerConfidential It's very easy to fix! Just have the person who uploads your videos fix the title. Been to Miraval many times...it's great
