My stay at Boulders Resort & Spa was truly a mixed bag. The stunning landscape and spacious casitas made for a memorable getaway, but a few notable hiccups, especially with the service in the pools and some room issues, kept it from being perfect. Overall, though, it's a beautiful place to relax and enjoy nature, just be prepared for some minor inconveniences.
