Stayed in a suite at "Hilton Vacation Club Sedona Summit." It was the end of April in 2019 and the price per night was like $159. I think it is considerable more now.
Anyway, I loved it and want to go back. There is a star gazing area on the property, several hot tubs and several pools. BBQ gills and yard games to play.
Booked my Grand Canyon Tour with Pink Jeep Adventure Tours. The specific tour was "Grand Canyon Premier." They picked us up around 8/8:30 am at the hotel lobby in a pink sprinter van - air conditioning, charger plugs in the seats, etc. The tour was 10 hours with a box lunch included. Dave was my tour guide - he is great!
First they take you to the Pink Jeep Tour offices right there in Sedona to use the restroom and buys stuff, lol. Then there is a 2 hour ride to the Grand Canyon. The guide talked to us the whole way. Sit on the right side of the van for the best view on the way there. We went past the actual site where Will Smith did his sky dive. It wasn't actually the Grand Canyon.
They took us to several notable sites. We had our boxed lunch right at the edge of the canyon. He gave us blankets to spread out picnic style and water. Each group of guests kinda paired off - we didn't all eat as a tour group.
On the way back we rode through the Navajo Nation. Sit on the left side of the van on the way back for the best view. We were dropped off right back at the lobby of the hotel just before sunset.
Sedona has a night sky ordnance, so there are no street lights. It is dark and hilly. That hotel doesn't have restaurants or room service so after checking in, we drove back down the hill to the Safeway grocery store on the main drag and bought food to have during our trip. The hotel rooms have a counter top stove, microwave, full fridge, etc.
I actually really loved it and I want to do this exact same trip again.
