Suite guide
Choose a suite for two
All three suites hold two guests and two therapists at the same time. They differ in the light, in what stands beside the tables and in how long guests tend to stay.

Two tables side by side beside a tall window onto the trees, and a sofa for tea.

Sedona sits inside a ring of red rock. Most evenings end on the terrace, watching it change color.

The team
The people at Sundown
Sixteen of us work at the inn spa. These four are who you will meet first, and each practitioner's license is listed under their name.
Garth Merriman
Lead massage therapist
- Massage Therapist License · AZ Lic. 000000
Garth leads the couples massage team and the hot stone visits. He sets the pace for two guests at once, so one of you can have firm pressure and the other light.
Danny Macaraeg
Massage therapist
- Massage Therapist License · AZ Lic. 000000
Danny works the Swedish and deep tissue visits and the evening suites. He is trained in prenatal massage, which he gives with your doctor's go-ahead. He speaks Tagalog and English.
Aryanna Davidson
Esthetician
- Esthetician License · AZ Lic. 000000
Aryanna gives the facials and the bridal skin visit. She begins with a skin check and a talk about what you use at home, and she tells you when a dermatologist is the better next step.
Questions before you book
How early should we arrive?
Thirty minutes before your time. That is enough to change into robes, settle on the terrace and talk with your therapists. A party of four or more arrives forty-five minutes early.
What should we wear?
Come in whatever you are comfortable in. We give you a robe, slippers and a locker, and for massage you undress as far as suits you and stay under a sheet.
Can one of us have firm pressure and the other light?
Yes. Each therapist works to their own guest's wishes, and you can ask for more or less at any point.
I'm pregnant. Can I book a massage or the terrace?
Prenatal massage is given by a therapist trained in it, with your doctor's go-ahead. Please ask your doctor before you use the sauna or steam room, and tell us when you book.
Do you take wedding parties?
Yes. Parties of up to six guests share the suites at once, and larger parties take turns between the suites and the terrace. Call the front desk to plan the day.
How do gift cards work?
A gift card can be for any amount and used on any suite visit or on the terrace. Buy one online or at the front desk.
