July 16, 2019 Candice Mathis Hotel Stays Sedona Family Getaway | Featuring Amara Resort and Spa July 16, 2019 Candice Mathis Hotel Stays The Amara is our number one choice when we visit Sedona so naturally it’s the resort we chose for Nixon’s birthday weekend. We love the Amara because it is right in the mix of things, except nestled down in it’s own little private oasis.
