We had high expectations for Civana and it just didn’t meet our needs. Booking classes was cumbersome and during a global pandemic they only offered 1-2 classes outdoors (most of the experiences outside would cost more money too). Our group was not willing to breath heavily indoors with folx who may or may not believe in vaccines. Tents and misting devices could help with this issue, or more classes utilizing the pool.
Drinking Water was not easy to come by. Arizona has notoriously terrible tasting tap water, so more filtered water is a necessity. We went to the water aerobics class and had to walk across the street, back to the cafe to fill our waters (there should be water in the lobby at all times at least, and definitely water available anytime you have an exercise class). This made for a slightly dehydrating experience and I’d recommend bringing your own water for your room.
The property is pretty and the pool is nice, typical AZ set up and they could use more shade cover.
The restaurant Terraz was fine, I don’t personally eat seafood in land locked places for sustainability and freshness reasons and there was quite a few seafood options on the menu which surprised me. We had very slow and bad service at the cafe. We were told we could use the spa pools by one staff then told we couldn’t by another. All in all, not as relaxing and pampering as you’d expect for the price.
