Amara hotel

We arrived about 1:00am in Amara hotel in Sedona and fortunately our room was ready for us. Decided to be lazy and just chill around the pool. It is a lovely hotel, described as a boutique hotel, but it is very well laid out. Unusually we have been charged $20 to cover all tips we are likely to have to pay during our stay - not too bad I guess but you have to pay it every night you stay so could end up being a bit steep!
The same creek that we saw in Slide Park runs at the bottom of the hotel and is just outside our room. Saw a few ducks lazing along the edge earlier. The pool is a heated saltwater pool and very pleasant to jump in to get out of the sun. Even Jan went in a couple of times. Just before we left a couple of gays arrived. One of them never stopped talking for about 20 minutes about his trip to Pakistan and India and how it was a spiritual experience; God give me strength.
Jan's just having a bath in the Jacuzzi and then we will head off into town for dinner.
