Best Things About the Resort:
My husband and his father loved the golf course. The restaurant was great too!

Resort Experience:
We stayed in a two-bedroom unit on the second level and loved it. My husband and I traveled with his parents, so we each had our own separate area with a combined living room, dining room, and kitchen. The balcony was great with the ceiling fans. It was nice sitting out on the balcony/patio, eating our morning breakfast.

Mesa Market Place Swap MeetBest of IgoUgo

Attraction | "Mesa Swap Meet"

The swap meet/flea market is only open Friday to Sunday. It has a free entrance and everything you could ever think of. My mother-in-law and I went to the swap meet on Sunday morning while our husbands were golfing. We found so much there at GREAT prices. We even took our husbands back on Friday morning! I told my husband we needed to come back sometime and drive so we could take more things home. I found lots of great things that were too big to take home on the plane!!

This is a recreated Gold Town from the 1890s and early 1900s. The saloon has great food; we ate lunch there and had a sandwich. The town has a goldmine that you can go down in and tour. We also saw two of the gun fighting shows. There are a few shops and everyone who works here is dressed from the era. It was a fun day for us.
