Terrible execution of a cool idea

We were so excited for our trip to the Grand Canyon and our stay at Clear Sky Resorts. It seemed like such a cool place to stay. We opted for the pac-man room. It cost a little more than the other rooms, but we thought the gaming machine would be fun for our kids. But, the buttons on the video game didn't work. But a broken video game was the lease of our problems. These domes were really poorly constructed. Honestly, it was a disaster. Our dome leaked for the two nights we were there. The rugs were soaked, our beds had puddles, and our faces were sprayed all night with water droplets. The in-dome heaters were not strong enough to keep the dome warm even had it been dry. So we were freezing in addition to being wet! Some of our phone chargers got so wet that they no longer work. This was not a small amount of water. The projection dome room was also freezing. We wore parkas and blankets because the heaters were insufficient. To be clear, the staff was great; they were friendly, sympathetic, and gave us great tips for our days in the Grand Canyon. The staff did what they could to help us, offering food vouchers and extra towels (which we needed to cover our floors because they were so wet and slippery it was dangerous). The food was also delicious. However, even a fabulous staff and a good meal was not enough to keep us dry. The owners need to fix the structures so they are watertight. We cannot recommend anyone stay at these domes unless improvements are made.

Horrible, on arrival we were greeted by someone at the front desk who seemed very frustrated to be working and annoyed to be helping us. We then waited over an hour in our car waiting for someone to take us to our Dome because we were told we could not get to it unless with an employee. Once in our Dome we were greeted by molding and cracking drywall in the bathroom. In the corners of the bathrooms there were huge spiderwebs with dead bug carcasses. The floors of the whole Dome were completely rotted and bowing. It was a 30 degree night so we turned the unit in the Dome to heat and it worked for about 5 minutes then would shut off and make a grinding and clicking noise. We went to get some food and went back to the dome to eat. The food wasn’t bad so I thought things may be looking up! Boy was I wrong. At 4:00AM a storm moved through the area. The Dome flooded out and with already being freezing because the heat didn’t work we were now scrambling through water. I texted the contact number and to my surprise there is NOT ONE member of staff onsite from 11pm till 7am. We were left pushing water out of door trying to save our things from getting wet. We were going to stay until the checkout at 11am but quickly left at 6 am because I had had enough of feeling so disrespected. We paid $548 for this on our honey moon for this dome and reached out to the front desk to receive at least an accommodation for what we went through. After a few texts and 2 phone calls no one has reached out to me to resolve. I am a director of engineering for a property in CO and I am asking everyone to absolutely stay away from this place. The skylight shade was completely falling off the dome and could have fallen on us while sleeping. We didn’t realize this until we were leaving. There are MAJOR safety concerns and hygiene issues with this property!! Stay away at all costs. They will tell you that in a rain storm tents flood but I’ll tell you that my $90 dollar tent from Walmart has been through 10x worse of storms and hasn’t flooded once. This place needs to be shut down. Major coding and violations need to happen

Clear Sky Resort blew our minds!!! The dome and amenities WAY WAY WAY exceeded our expectations. Easy check in, top notch accommodations, amazing staff and incredible ongoing activities. WE WERE AMAZED AND AWED. The dimes are spacious, the bathroom immaculate, the dinner dime is clean and the food is OUT of THIS world good. All of the staff were so friendly and helpful. I’d recommend more seating in the dome itself however this is a very minor thing. Make sure to take the sky viewing presentation and sit by the fire with fellow campers and listen to live music. It’s an experience that we will never forget.

A very unique experience

The domes are such a unique experience and the kids loved it. Enjoyed not having a t.v and just looking outside from the bed...still had wifi so kids were always happy.... We had a a family of 4 and the dome could probably have fit 6 fine..they have smaller domes if you are just a couple.
