I would love to give more than 5 stars This was my first time in Arizona, my trip isn’t over yet however I cannot begin to describe the absolute beauty, peaceful, serenity of the entire resort Besides it being absolute paradise, my favorite part is the amazing staff, from staff at the pool, the restaurant, spa, boutique, housekeeping, room service

Each and every single employee that works here makes each day better, they’re so friendly and nice and extremely knowledgeable about the best places around the resort but honestly once you’re here, you won’t want to leave I travel a lot and have stayed at so many places but no place have I been where the staff is as kind, sweet, and personable The service is beyond impeccable I need to add more photos but it’s hard to take your eyes away from the natural beauty that is all around The calamari I got last night from room service is honestly the best calamari I have ever had The rooms are enormous, the beds are so comfortable, I really can’t say just how perfect it is here Also, anytime you call for anything from water, to ice, to anything, they’re at you’re room before you even know it I absolutely love Sanctuary Camelback, if you’re looking for a place to stay, stop now Book here, you’ll be so happy you did

Our wedding at the sanctuary was absolutely amazing There was nothing that could have been done better The entire team including Robin and Jessica were top notch

The grounds are amazing, and our guests keep telling us that we had the best wedding they’ve ever attended The location is prime for perfect picture taking – and the food was wonderful – and the staff was superbSpeaking of a thoughtful detail – we had a “personal” attendant from the moment we said “i do” until the end of the wedding Once we said our i’-dos we were greeted with champagne and congratulated as a happy couple Then we disappeared for a half hour for photos on the mountain before returning to our party Once we arrived back – there were drinks for just us – and a personal plate of our appetizers for us to enjoy before meeting our guests for happy hour Most married couples – don’t get time to eat or take care of themselves because everyone wants their attention We were just SPOILED by great serviceI also thought the presentation of their offer for the wedding ceremony was very upfront I think we had better confidence in what we were getting versus other wedding venuesThe rooms were amazingThank you Sanctuary for a wonderful wedding – we will likely return often to celebrate special occasions keeping the memory of our special day aliveWith great thanksRichard and Charles

When I stayed at this property they had the most amazing beds and pillows! I actually purchased the same type of bed Best decision of my life I took a picture of the pillow tag but was unable to match the pillow with the merchant

They needed more info I called Gainey and spoke to an amazingly awesome gentlemen name Josh He was so pleasant, helpful and super knowledgeable He was able to provide me with what I needed Thank you Josh for the best customer service experience!

Arthur Klein

I enjoyed our stay The pool area was very nice, the other guests were super friendlyThe room was clean, modern and decorated well but the carpeting will need cleaning or updating soon

This is a family oriented location so if children bother you, head elsewhere

Jayneee Smith

We rented a 2 bedroom suite, 2 bath Nice amenities in bathrooms Living area was smaller than other resorts we frequent

Kitchen was not fully stocked and no stove Range was low-end, but did the job Needed to clean the toaster before using as there was debris inside making it smoke and we didn’t want the smoke detector going off Great complimentary breakfast and 5 PM happy hour with food Very social with plenty of seating areas around the pool, water falls, under the trees The outdoor area made up for any issues within our suites Very relaxing stay

My wife and I spent our anniversary here It is in a great little tucked away location It feels like you’re getting away from things a bit, and yet you are walking distance from Old Town Scottsdale

The woman who helped us out was very amenable She let us check in a little early, and check out a little late I can’t guarantee you’ll get the same treatment, as we visited in the height of the summer, during their slow season She made sure there were towels at the pool for us, and showed us where to find the complimentary water bottles She was very invested in making sure we had everything we neededThe bed was comfortable, and the room was clean and quiet There is a certain charm to staying in a unique hotel It does come with some quirks (our shower door wouldn’t close all the way), but all in all it was still preferable to the sterile atmosphere of the major chains They have a rooftop infinity pool, which is a great little relaxing spotWe didn’t get a chance to try out the restaurant on site, but we plan to next time around

Kristi

BEST place we’ve stayed in so long! My husband could not stop raving about how awesome the rooms and entire Inn was You can absolutely tell a lot of detail and craftsmanship went into making this, place really special over the top Top quality amenities, super soft beds, fantastic showers (don’t get me started on the claw foot tub!) we will 100% be back and already looking into booking the Flagstaff location this winter

Will recommend to anyone looking to stay i Scottsdale or nearby

Alexandra Ternosky

This is a great boutique hotel Stayed with my mother in the Gio and Maria room and it was perfect for the two of us Housekeeping does a fantastic job of keeping the place clean and room stocked with both still and sparkling water

Enjoyed the little outdoor sitting area outside our room, the perfect spot to enjoy a coffee or a glass of wine!

Tanna Gilletti

Nice staff However, The room was very hot and the heat was radiating off of the brick walls Also, we found a family of bugs in the bathtub that were living in the drain

We went to the front desk to notify them and the manager on duty offered to go to pick it up, but she said “it was normal” to have bugs in the rooms Did not feel comfortable staying in a hotel where they were so nonchalant about that Upon request they agreed to change us to another room-the new room was also gross The shower looked like it has not been cleaned, and all around the drain there was hair We promptly left the hotel and we’re given a refund

Mark Stephens

Great location just outside of old Town Scottsdale that is easily walkable There are several night clubs across the street that get a little noisy at 2am when letting out however rooms are well insulated so it’s barely heard Very active location with walking and biking trails

30+ golf courses in the area Shopping and many eateries within walking distance Hotel staff is top notch and starts cleaning early every day keeping the place immaculate Breakfast nook and dining area is small so many choose to take food up to their rooms The assigned employees here do a great job Nice big pool that is open 7am to 10pm with plenty of towels poolside Very nice little gym if you want to lift weights or grab a machine cardio work out I definitely recommend this hotel if traveling to Scottsdale

Hari Khalsa

First and foremost, the Manager and GM were outstanding in thier customer service, even in the face of my frustration which was clearly showing The property is lovely, great pool area Wonderful workout room if you need it

Plenty of eats right across the street There is a breakfast here and it looks spectacular, we couldn’t stay for itThe room was modern, with one of the nicest showers I’ve had in a hotel The AC was a bit loud, but that’s a small gripe for all the good hereRate was nice for a BW+ property Would stay here again, after fixing my card problems with the bank Thanks again for your solution!

My husband and I stayed here for a 3 year wedding Anniversary trip When we arrived we had been upgraded to the Presidential Suite It was a beautiful room

We had the best time at the pool with drink service Our room was always spot less when we arrived back after it was cleaned The location is perfect for walking down to Old Town, Fashion Square & Night Clubs The aesthetics of this place are SO PERFECT!!

Enrico Dolcecore

This is a 2-3 start hotel at best The price is WAY TOO much for what you get Rooms are dated, and minimal

You really don’t get anything above and beyond for staying here Choose another hotel across the street for half price and you’ll be happier We stayed her 7 years ago, and it was awesome Pools were fun to hang at, but the price was right We felt like we got what we paid for For $500 a night I can stay at a Ritz Carlton

Alex Anzhela

Place is nice Too much party life in this town in general though If you’re traveling with kids, probably good idea to find a more kid friendly hotel/place/atmosphere

Otherwise the resort is very pretty Also the heater/AC unit in the room emitted too much dust so we ended up not turning it on anymore They do have a complimentary shuttle service which we loved

I’d skip this oneThe only great thing about this place is the valet service that went out of their way to help us as it was pouring down rain during monsoon when we arrived They continued to be the bright spot of the entire stay here

The staff is fine but not friendly Every time we asked where something was on the property we got vague directions and couldn’t find it We weren’t offered a bottle of water or anything that we typically get when we stay with HiltonThe rooms are super clean but old There is a great vanity set up for getting ready but no outlets I’m not sure if the rooms have A/C or swamp coolers but the rooms were hot and muggy- again it’s monsoon season right now, but an A/C doesn’t typically cause that during this time of yearWhen we reserved the room the price said $180 a night with taxes and resort fees but we were charged $211It just overall is a tired and disappointing experience We have stayed at many Hilton’s for much less money and had a better experience I’d skip this one and book elsewhere in Scottsdale

Kenneth Belisle

My daughter and I stayed at the resort for a long weekend over the 4th of July The resort itself is so pretty, and we really enjoyed walking around the property and seeing the cacti, palm trees, and flowers I loved the bar at the pool-they had great drinks for adults and ice cream for kids

Our favorite meal was breakfast, and they also had great food for lunch and dinner as well The pool area was so nice, and the water was warm, and we spent many hours lounging and swimming! I definitely recommend this resort! We can’t wait to go back

Nicole Fraser

We were excellently treated by every member of the staff who were friendly and engaging The restaurant was great with a nice variety on the menu and well prepared dishes The rooms were clean and, with the sole exception of the air conditioning units, quiet

The lake made for a lovely contrast to the desert dry with birds and greenery Absolutely recommend

I don’t know why people expect a 6 star experience when staying at an older hotel… after reading all of the reviews I was a bit disappointed before arriving but you’d need to experience it for yourself firsthand Honestly, our experience was great I wasn’t expecting anything above and beyond with an older hotel

The hotel was clean, our room was clean, outdated? Yea but it wasn’t bad Our bathroom door would get stuck and that’s the only negative thing about the room The river ranch was fun, wasn’t too crowded, I can say I would suggest they come up with a different check in process Standing in 100+ degree weather in a long line isn’t the best experience, maybe hand out the wristbands at the front desk? The pools had some broken tiles but overall the pools probably just need to be updated The water wasn’t “murky green” like some of the reviews say… The hole in the wall restaurant was really good and Helen provided amazing service! She deserves to be recognized 🙂 over all, we had a great time and my kids had a blast hanging in the pool all day

upneet shah

Recently I stayed here for two night and to be honest before my trip I was contemplating to change my trip as recent google reviews are somehow horrible, thankfully I didn’t change my reservation and me and my family had great time at this resort Room was nice and comfortable having two TVs which is great for families There is a separate living room with sofa bed

Everything was clean Water park is good, my daughter had lot of fun Hole in the wall is the only restaurant open but we got the table easily and breakfast was decent I would stay here again

Chanel Enslow

Such a disappointing stay I wish I would have read and paid attention to the other reviews before booking There was so many things “out of order” starting from the hotel lobby

During check in, the restroom was locked because the “water wasn’t working” Then the next day, the whole North Pointe building water was shut off for 5 hours due to an issue so we couldn’t shower or use the restroom in our room Reading previous reviews, this isn’t the first time this has happened 3 out of the 4 hot tubs weren’t working, and the one that was working was only lukewarm The washer and dryer were also out of service!Checkout isn’t until 11am, but starting around 10am, the housekeeper knocked or peeped into our room 3-4 times asking if we were leaving that day until we finally left the room at 11amI will say that the water park was decent and the kids enjoyed it It was pretty basic but it did the job The updated suite was also good as we were traveling with a baby and it was nice to be able to shut the door to the bedroom after they went to sleep There are no microwaves in the rooms, which would be nice I’ll stay elsewhere next time

Don’t expect traditional “Marriott” here, don’t expect “welcome and thank you for being an “>>>>” member” Generally rooms are nice, clean, and close to normal Marriott furnishings For clarity, this is a MOTEL

Feels like I went to South Beach Miami, complete with pink flamingos, loud pool music (which interior rooms all face) and South Beach Miami clad pool goers Room does come furnished with ear plugs and sleeping mask, no joke Not bad, just not what I expected

DC Girl

We had an ok time The property was 3-starish (so over priced for the garden style apartment room) but the food was good The pool hours are limited so not a great place if you want to beat the heat or crowds with an early morning or late night swim

Most of the staff was nice but one guy who threw us out of the pool — based on in correct information another staff member gave us about the time the pool opened I would not stay here again

Renee M (Renee)

The hotel itself was great The rooms were comfortable and clean I’m giving it 3 stars because of the restaurant

My daughter and I decided to go have a quick breakfast at the restaurant How was the food? We never found out The service was not good at all There were tables around us that were being served, except for ours The waiter finally came, almost 20 minutes later and handed us a menu saying he would be right with us The only problem? We were already handed menus when we were being sat down We left immediately I recommend the hotel, just not the restaurant

Travelling with family to a work conference held hereWonderful food Clean and comfortable rooms

We requested a room near a pool and it was perfect Great staff All workers who took care of us at the meeting did a great job!Pools all very nice, family friendly Fitness center well appointed Convenient location to restaurants and shoppingThe only small issue was communication with the front desk On arrival, I got a text inviting me to message if we needed anything That service was unreliable Suggest calling or in person at front deskHats off to the landscaping crew Beautiful flowers, interesting cacti

Marlyn Fuller

It’s our second time staying at this resort, it was a joyful 4th of July weekend here The food and service was amazing! The resort is always very clean and organized, they can run low on the pool towels, so I would recommend you grab one asap otherwise they don’t get restocked We ran into that problem

Otherwise everything is amazing! Food is delicious!Will definitely be back again

Robert Green

We can not recommend The Scottsdale Plaza Resort enough! They were everything we could have wanted for our wedding weekend! The staff, the event spaces we used, the food, the hotel rooms and accommodations for our guests and everything in between was above and beyond our expectations They made the wedding planning process enjoyable and easy We got so many compliments on every aspect of the weekend from our guests

Our point of contact/coordinator, Kristin, was so organized and helpful through everything and she truly made our day run as smoothly as possible! She was attentive, listened to our wants and needs and went above and beyond for us

We had the pleasure of staying at the Hermosa Inn this past weekend for the first time The staff was friendly and accommodating The service was top notch

There were a few minor issues with our room that we notified the front desk of They promptly had maintenance to our room to fix the issues The lady at the front desk was amazing There was an issue she felt couldn’t be resolved and she offered to upgrade us to another roomThe grounds were quiet, well kept and beautiful All the staff (front desk, cleaning, maintenance, restaurant staff) were quick to care for our needs and provided quality service We will definitely recommend them and enjoyed our time there and hope to return soon

Antonia Youngwirth

The atmosphere is amazing We sat outside and the flowers were stunning 2 of the three meals were very good

However, my Reuben Sandwich was a bust I asked for it without the Thousand Island dressing It was delivered with the dressing on it I sent it back and they actually only took off the bread that had the dressing on it Barely toasted that side and the meat and cheese they added to it was cold and the cheese not melted I told them about it and said I will just take it home For such a highly rated restaurant, that was a very suprising thing to happen Mimosa was good although the initial drink order took over 25 minutes to arrive Good thing for the lovely atmosphere Service was good, it was not their fault about the food or the slow drink prepNot sure if I will rush back to Lon’s

Jamilla Davis

Stayed 2 nights in June 2022 The service is excellent I wanted to highlight Carlos, the pool guy

He was so nice and welcoming The mango popsicles — such a nice touch! The grounds are a desert paradise, quiet and secluded The room is charming and cozy Didn’t get to try the restaurant and spa But will definitely try them when we come back

Beautiful boutique hotel located in a great part of Scottsdale Wonderful service and overall vibe The staff was exceptional and there were so many nice touches (text access to the front desk, champagne at check in, etc)

The breakfast was one of the best I’ve had at any Hyatt property (I’m a globalist so I’ve had my fair share!) The grounds were well kept and unique The only knock against the resort is that it is a little older so one has to accept that the rooms and buildings have an older feel (still very clean) I embraced that as part of its old world charm

Tiffany Griffin

We had our wedding there this past weekend and it was just amazing!! The staff and the service really just did an amazing job One little mix up with the room but they resolved that as fast as they could and made the whole weekend and wedding experience just top notch The guests told me as well that if you needed something they were on top of it

We were just SO impressed with everything! Service, Staff, Food, Grounds, Room If your thinking of getting married, this is the place to be! 5++++ Stars THANK YOU Royal Palms for a FABULOUS Weekend!!

Zoe Polk

We had a nice long weekend at the Royal Palms, however I don’t think the property really competes with the other 5 star resorts in the area Our room felt a bit dated and dingy, I was particularly unimpressed with the bed and bedding The grounds are beautiful, I love the natural landscape in AZ

The pool area is very small, and the chairs easily fill up Not the right resort if you are interested in hanging by the pool for a good portion of your vacation We asked the front desk for where to go on a walk, and they provided us with directions with a nice loop around the neighborhood – but it did require half a mile on a busy road with no side walk

VICTOR URZYCKI

The McCormick Scottsdale was recommended by our family living in Scottsdale The hotel has quite a lot of amenities, which we weren’t able to enjoy However, we really enjoyed using the amenities that we were interested in using, during our stay

We had a very busy schedule that our family members had planned for us that we were gone for most of our eight days stay at the hotelThey have a very friendly, and great supporting staff, that lets you know that you are welcome and they show their appreciation by letting you know that they are glad that you are staying there We would like very much to compliment, and thank, the housekeeping staff that were assigned to our room The young ladies that my wife and I met while leaving for the day to be with our family, were so friendly and accommodating whenever we requested their services to tidy up our room and to exchange our bath linens We will definitely return to stay there when we visit with our family again

Gustavo Vegas

The hotel is well located and has many amenities Has a decent restaurant in the grounds, with tasty foodThe staff were helpful and greeted us with a smile

Now, the hotel needs a makeover, it is very dated Our room has a musky smell, and one of the beds squeaked as one sat on itOverall, I would come back in the future, but a renovation would make it more attractive than other hotels/ resorts in the area

Penny Liddell

My husband and I stayed at the property for to celebrate my 10 year wedding anniversary The check-in staff was very professional, very polite, and helpful The room was clean and comfortable as we received an upgrade to a king suite from a double queen room

We did not use any of the other amenities available to us such as the pool, restaurant or spa area I was impressed that the pool is available to guests until 10PM My only complaint is the resort fee charged at check-out even though I prepaid for it in the app I reserved the room under It was eventually taken off by a manager, but I should not have been charged in the first placeThey could also use another elevator on the other side of the hallway, as we had to walk down some pretty long halls to get to our room Otherwise, a great experience and I would certainly recommend to family and friends

I am currently staying long term at this hotel while awaiting my house to be built I have never stayed this long at any hotel, and normally choose more of a four star property Because I was staying so long, I decided to give this a shot, and am VERY GLAD I did

THIS is the cleanest property I have ever stayed at I would love to know how they keep a staff that is so on point There is no lack of staff that I can see, and speaking with others staying they choose this hotel over, and over because of its cleanlinessI read the previously review about noise, and there are signs posted that from 10pm-6am is quiet time, and I think that is just amazing Sorry you missed the signsI hope that if you are passing through Scottsdale, and want a clean room, attentive staff, and managers, and a GREAT location, you choose this property The pool is nice, the breakfast is fine, managers great and friendly, front desk always there to help, and the cleaning staff is helpful I stay stay here You will not be sorry!

This Hilton is a perfect spot because it is so close to Old Town The staff is welcoming and friendly Love the free bottles of water they offer and the breakfast buffet was very good and reasonably priced

Great coffee and they even have flavored creamer The rooms are nice and the beds comfortable The patio near the pool is relaxing and lovely to sit at The pool could be a bit bigger but is okay The only downside is, more shade and umbrellas are needed there because the sun beats down on you The drink selection at the bar is also nice The price for a room cant be beat and I would definitely stay at this Hilton again if in Scottsdale

Kristi Rhinehart

Very nice place to stay Location is great This is walking distance to lots of restaurants and shops in Scottsdale

The rooms are very comfortable The hotel amenities are plentiful and service is terrific 👌 The elevator is pretty slow but that’s hardly a huge concern There is a nice snack bar in the very stylish lobby for snacks and drinks The salt water pool looks very refreshing and I can’t wait to the a dip in it Very clean and well stocked fitness room too! 👌

Scott Stevens

You get exactly what you expect from Hilton Comfortable accommodations, clean rooms, facilities and a decent work out space The front desk staff was gracious and helpful

I booked this hotel for one of my wedding blocks and the process could not have been better or easier for my Bride and I The team took care of everything so we had no involvement whatsoever

Enjoyed the stay Clean rooms Meet little upstairs patio overlooking the pool, little bit of shade little bit of sun which ever you choose

Nice part of town w/ easy access to great little shopsJust a few blocks from “Spaces” where we always go to have our meetingsEvery time I go, I like to go to Cartel Coffee just a few blocks away – best coffee around!

Stelios Serghiou

Not recommended Fantastic location and nice staff However, the walls were paper thin (I could not sleep because my neighbors were simply chatting and I woke up with their alarm)

The water in the bathroom sink smelt like sewage water The room was newly renovated but everything just felt cheaply done Tip: if you do stay, request a room away from the nightclub noise

Brent Grablachoff

Marriott name with Best Western quality & Motel 6 service Want to feel valued as a Marriott Bonvoy elite member? Don’t stay here The front desk staff are unwelcoming and will do only the bare minimum expected of them during your stay

Rooms are outdated with peeling paint throughout the bathroom & shower Glass shower door doesn’t properly protect the shower faucet splatter and your bathroom floor will be absolutely soaked requiring use of 2 of the 3 towels you’re allowed to blot up the mess The beds and pillows ARE very comfortable which is a plus But the entire interior / shared areas of the hotel are run down and it feels like a very cheap motel with Westin or W pricing to stay The major plus is the quick access to downtown Old Town Scottsdale; but I’d rather walk a mile to the action than stay here again Poor management that doesn’t care about their clientele; at all

My wife, Lora, and I have stayed at many a fine hotel, and as Titanium members with Marriott, have grown accustomed to excellent customer service, but nothing has been as exceptional as our latest stay at the Phoenician in Arizona From the moment we entered the resort, where we were warmly greeted by Eddie and Ryan at the front desk, who gave us a complimentary room upgrade, to the day we departed, when Charlotte in Food & Beverage gave us a complimentary fruit platter, the experience has been nothing short of exceptional During our stay, when our flight was cancelled, Haley, a Front Desk Manager, and Jonathan, a Front Desk Agent, were kind and considerate, helping us negotiate another night, complete with a late checkout, for which we are grateful

Of course, the grounds of the resort are lovely, and the pools are amazing, but the best part of our wonderful stay has clearly been the people we had the pleasure of engaging with, so thank you to everyone at the Phoenician, you made Lora’s and my 10 year anniversary exceptional, and we look forward to staying at your beautiful property again soon

Celebrated my birthday with my daughter and a couple friends with a high English tea The petite sandwiches were tasty and the desserts were amazing! The staff was excellent looking after our needs The only thing that would have improved the ambiance was that the piano music was way too loud

All in all we had a wonderful time and a great memories were made

Raahuul M

Very nice property Service is great Deluxe room with balcony was very spacious with a comfy king bed, ample closet space, double vanity, large TV, nice shower and a relaxing jacuzzi tub

The foyer has a nice bar and ample comfy seating There are many restaurants on site and some nice shops (though expensive)

I had a horrible experience at this hotel, it was a beautiful resort but front desk night agent was not very friendly and greeted us very rudely If it wasn’t for everything else being sold out I would have rather stayed in my car I did not feel welcome at all

I did meet an amazing housekeeping worker she was more helpful than the front desk agent Do better

Jessie Lynn

The check-in process was smooth until I got to my room The key didn’t work and the light would only turn red I went back down with my luggage to have the issue resolved

No big deal, mistakes happen They moved me to a different room, so back up I went The room looked clean and presentableI picked this hotel because on the website it said there was a restaurant and room service However, when I called down to ask about ordering a dinner, they said that room service was only for breakfast and that I’d have to come down to the pool bar for food The menu was very, very small They did have gluten free bread though I ended up ordering their burger and was asked how I like it I said “medium” The burger came back and the poor thing really can only do well done- it was the same patty that you get in a school lunch or in a hospital Definitely not what I was expecting from a Hilton resort, and not for the price that they chargedThe room was ok, however, I must have been placed right under the AC or something (on the 3rd floor) because every time it turned on, it was a very loud creaking noise that would startle me awake about every hour I even tried putting ocean waves on my phone to drown out the creaks, but they were too loud I was disappointed that they didn’t leave water in the rooms too They said that water was available as self-serve behind the check in counterThe next day I attempted their breakfast which didn’t have much improvement from the burger So for dinner, I went and got takeout but got up to my room to find that I needed a fork I called down to the front desk to ask if they had any extra forks She said that they did I asked if I needed to come down to get it She said, “yes, because that would be considered room service and we only do room service for breakfast” Wow! I was in complete shock!I was under the impression that checkout was at 11am However, I had housekeeping knocking on my door during the 9:00 hour ready to start cleaning Definitely the cherry on top to my stay I hate to leave a poor review, but with so many things that just don’t match the expense and reputation of a Hilton Resort in the high-end city of Scottsdale, this was just not okay

Brittany Webber

This Hilton is more like a 3-star hotel I was only here for one night before my flight from Phoenix Upon arrival, the staff that checked me in were great

Very friendly I went to relax by the pool after check in It was late in the day (after 5pm) and there weren’t many people there The pool area was trashed with leftover food, plates etc all over the lounge chairs So bad to the point that birds were all over the place scrounging for food It was incredibly unpleasant Hotel was also noisy at night I was woken up by noisy guests walking the hallways in the middle of the night Bathroom was also not throughly cleaned Overall, this is good if you are just passing through or staying for the night, but I wish I would’ve stayed at one of the nicer “real” resorts up the road

My friends and I had a great stay here! I don’t know the name of the woman that checked us in, but she was amazing! She gave us a list of restaurants in the area and added her specific recommendations, which were super helpful We love that you get warm cookies and water bottles at the front desk (and we were told we could grab more whenever we wanted)

such a treat- the cookies are so good! The pools (and hot tub) were great with pool towels readily available The parking is nice and convenient to wherever your room is located Our patio didn’t have an amazing view of anything, but it was still a nice thing to have in the room Beds were comfy and we all slept like babies The Starbucks in the hotel was a huge plus for the mornings We didn’t use the sports court/ golf/ restaurant/ fitness facilities during our stay We had a great time and were happy that we chose this hotel for our girls trip

Super pet friendly resort! Perfect place to chill with your little furry friends Pretty mini resort It’s not a tall building style— kind of interesting

We visited during the Easter weekend and there were lack of staff for sure There was steam sauna at the gym but no staff were there and saunas weren’t working at all, which was quite disappointing Still enjoyed my stay overall and would recommend for pet friendly resort 🙂

K Hill

Great hotel! Rooms were updated and very comfortable A/C was very cold in August which was appreciated Staff was friendly

Bar got busy about 6:30pm but food came out quick and the boneless wings were very tasty Pool was fun and not crowded at all in the afternoon and at night on a Thursday Breakfast also came out fast and was tasty

Remember to use ʜoᴛᴇʟʙoʟʟʏᴄᴏm when booking a resort This site will compare hundreds of booking websites and usually will have prices much cheaper compared to others! Thank me later! This place is one of the best in this area

I’ve been coming here for years If you choose this place you will love it I’m sure!Great hotel! I was there for a conference and it was gorgeous The deck in the room was amazing! The bell staff was extremely knowledgeable, especially Hugh, and went out of their way to help us (we were at a conference) All of the bar and wait staff did as well We look forward to staying here again!

Kimberly Herron

This was our first visit to the Gainey Ranch We arrived very late one evening and the lighting on the property was terrible It was confusing to figure out where the main entrance & parking was

After a long day of traveling it was an added annoyance Upon arrival, we checked in easily, front desk staff was welcoming We got to our room and again lighting was terrible Granted it’s the desert but all of the browns, golds & yellow decor mixed with poor lighting made for a depressing vibeThe exterior views were absolutely spectacular and the pools are great The service at the pool was also spectacular There were a bunch of games for the kids to play pool side so that helped keep the kids entertained!The website made it appear that more of the restaurants were open than were truly open, so that was frustrating Basically there is one restaurant open inside and then you have food/drink service at the pool where they will deliver food to your chair There is a shopping center near by with great restaurants that you could even walk to if you wanted toOverall, location was amazing, but it was an expensive stay and not worth it With the exception of the pool staff, I didn’t think the staff was all that friendly It was fun to visit once, but I wouldn’t make it a destination place to vacation again, unless we had another reason to be there

Rodney Ibrahim

Recently stayed here for a business meeting and to play some golf A great resort that checked all the boxes for what you need Great location, well kept hotel, and a decent bar scene made this a place I would come back too

Rooms were a good size, with ample sized bathrooms with good water pressure Bed was big a fluffy (although a little too soft for me) Good wifi, and a nice pool round it offAll in all a great place Go with confidence
