Stayed here while in town for business. Did not have the room I requested. They put me in a single and comp'd me with a meal. Single room was slightly run down but pleasant. The suite was just great. Clean, well apointed, and nice private jacuzzi tub. Maid service very good. Activities manager called daily. Nice touch. The rooms are time-shares, but open to the public. Restaurant is basic golf course stuff-- t-bones, shrimp cocktails, etc. Not close to tempe, and lock your doors driving past the gas station at the off-ramp. Pool not huge, but nice; Good for grandkids.

I have to say, as a critic of almost all hotel staff...this place was the best I have experienced. Well...minus the Ritz Carlton. But that is a whole different kind of place.

The staff was prompt, they were friendly, and very Polite on the phone. They even call back to make sure the problems, or requests have been taken care of. I was really impressed.

I am used to rudeness, no response at all, and horse play from the staff. Instead they were professionals.

Amenities are nice.

Things that this resort desperately needs.

MORE SHADE around the pool.

Wireless for the rooms.

Swings for kids playground. (more shade)

The only real mishap we had was not being able to check into our room for 2 hours past check in time. Housecleaning had not gotten to it yet...and repairs were being done.

We went to Botanical Gardens, Zoo, and Arizona Mills Mall, and Lake Pleasant. I recommend all these for your trip there.
Lake Pleasant is at least 30 minutes away. But the rest are about 5-7 miles away.

To Eat: PLEASE go to the FARM which is located practically next door. They have 3 types of restaurants...one for breakfast, one for lunch (picnic style) and fancy dinner restaurant. You will feel like you are on a retreat. They have plenty of WIDE open space with grass, and in the distance they have the chickens, and veggies growing. The food is made and grown there...so fresh is for sure.

Also...please check out the Secret Garden Restaurant VINTAGE MARKET...similar retreat type feel. Koi pond, and old 1929 Spanish colonial home...with huge grassy "park" like area connected to restaurant (meant for weddings).

Ok....married 7 years....but if I were to get married again these are the 2 places that would be excellent choices for receptions.

We stayed here for our wedding and honeymoon. I was wonderful. I think that we could make this a yearly event for our anniversary. Staff was wonderful, location was great, and access to good places to eat was awesome. We ate on site and the food and service was exceptional. We will be going back. We stayed in the one bedroom condo it was beyond our expectations. Thanks for a wonderful wedding/honeymoon hotel...and now a place to go for our future anniversaries.

Terrific - every convenience you could need. All are here! Comfortable - a home away from home! Nice place for meetings, gatherings, family/friends or just being alone.

I've stayed at a lot of places in AZ, both for business as well as pleasure and this resort ranks among the best. It has easy access to the highway as well as the airport. Shopping is a short drive. The ice machine was always empty in our building, but each room comes with a refrigerator, so we were still able to keep things cold. Will definately stay again!!
