Sheraton Desert Oasis

  • July 11, 2004
  • Rated 1 of 5 by mvtripgal from San Diego, California
Beware, the one-bedroom that we had was very small. No more than two adults could be comfortable. Nice tub/shower in bathroom. Attractive furnishings but very hard mattress. Also no option on floor and we had second floor, which was not good for my elderly mother.

Sheraton Desert Oasis

  • May 13, 2004
  • Rated 4 of 5 by tricias from Newport, Washington
Best Things Nearby:
Lots of shopping nearby. Super Wal-Mart, groceries, and restaurants galore. This resort is "off the beaten path" a little. It's nice and quiet. It's very easy to get around Scottsdale from this resort. It is located in a newer section of town, so everything is pretty new. There's easy access to 101 loop.

Best Things About the Resort:
The large pool has a fantastic waterfall, drinks and food on-site, and lots of places to sit and relax.

Resort Experience:
It’s very clean and easy to get around. I would definitely recommend this resort to anyone interested in a quiet getaway.

There were lots of families at the large pool, but with the waterfall, you really didn't hear all of the normal noise associated with children having fun in the pool. There is a quiet pool available for adults; however, the "climate control" must not have been working because the pool was VERY cold. It was too cold to actually swim in for me and my friend.

Sheraton's Desert Oasis

  • May 9, 2004
  • Rated 5 of 5 by fnwall from Alexandria, Virginia
The Sheraton is centrally located in Scottsdale, but you feel you really are in a desert oasis. It was a perfect jumping off point to many of the most beautiful sites in the State.

There were five of us staying in two one-bedroom condos. One was a one-bedroom deluxe, which had a lot more room than the one-bedroom standard. However, both rooms had a full kitchen (fully stocked, including a blender), dining table, living room area with fold-out couch, full bedroom -- one with a king bed, the other a queen and both had a washer and dryer. We were on the ground floor and each room had a patio--and nearby there were outdoor grills. The rooms were clean and beautifully decorated. There was no maid service during the week, but we could have paid a fee and had the maids come in during the week.

The resort has two pools; one for adults -- the quiet pool and the other a large pool with waterfall, hot tub grotto and sprinkler play area. This pool also had a grill, open for breakfast, lunch and dinner -- and drinks. We enjoyed many hours in the pool. The resort also has a fully equipped gym -- though we opted to go down the street -- about three miles to our local Curves.

The concierge was extremely helpful -- assisting with trips and tour, restaurant and other area information. The resort had plenty of activities on site; for adults and children alike. We could have stayed the entire week on site and not have been bored. During the week we were there, they were offering activities including, wine tasting, country line dancing lessons, pottery classes, story telling, and morning water exercise classes, to name just a few.

While the resort is small, I would definitely go back and highly recommend it.

great interior design

Resort Experience:
The resort was very elegant with good facilities and friendly staff. There are probably more than 100 apartments in the resort. The layout of the resort is nicely done.

We love the weather in AZ. Overall, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay there. We would go back there again.

  • Rated 4 of 5 by Shelly Matt from Oshkosh, Wisconsin
Best Things Nearby:
The nice thing about Scottdale is that Phoenix is just down the Main Street. In fact, there are two Walmarts on the same street because one is in Phoenix and one is in Scottsdale. It's nice to be able to drive for a short distance and find just about any store you need.

Best Things About the Resort:
The resort is well maintained. The service was excellent. We stayed in a one bedroom, with a family of five, but even though there were five of us there was plenty of stretching room. Its a nice size unit.

Resort Experience:
There are many activities planned throughout the week for both adults and children. The pool is wonderful, large enough that everyone can enjoy and relax and not feel crowded. There’s a second pool considered to be the quiet pool off in the back past a beautiful garden, for those who want to be left alone to enjoy the peacefulness.
