I've stayed at Los Abrigados, and that is what made me want to buy a timeshare. The location is awesome and the resort is nice. The room could use a bit of sprucing up, but it was a great place. It is right in the Tlaquepaque shopping area where shops and restaurants are close. And, you can walk to uptown Sedona in 20 minutes or less. We've toured The Ridge by Diamond Resorts, and the location is right on the way in town down 179 if memory serves. It is close to Bell Rock. It is a bit out of the way by a golf course. We did a timeshare presentation there, and the unit they showed us was really gorgeous. There is a lot of hiking in that location, and there are restaurants, but shopping is down by the Y. I rented a house close to the airport -- which is not as far as the Summit, and it was walking distance to hiking and other activities. I love the whole area. It really depends what you want to do.
On the one hand, it is nice to be walking distance to shopping and restaurants, but on the other hand, it is nice to be away from all of that and be able to go for an easy nice hike and enjoy nature. Go back year after year and try all of the resorts until you find a favorite.
And, I recommend doing a hike at West Fork -- has 17 stream crossings and is so wonderful. I've stayed over by the Summit at Southwest Inn. I didn't enjoy that as much as Los Abrigados area or the house I rented by the airport. I'd like to stay near the village of Oak Creek by Bell Rock next time -- so possibly the Ridge.
