Enjoy a little bit of luxury and relax by the great pool or spend a couple of hours in the hotel's Mist Spa. There are endless treatments to choose from if you have any cash left over! Even a game of tennis is great when it's not too hot.

We opted for an evening meal in the stylish Taps, the hotel bar rather than the more expensive Andre's restaurant. The bedrooms are of a high standard with large king size or 2 queen beds, sofa, TV and usual facilities such as minibar etc. Each room features a balcony or patio, too. All the hotel staff were incredibly friendly and very efficient.

I can really recommend the Radisson resort. The resort consists of a number of villas where you have the option to choose a normal villa, bi-level suite or a regency suite.

The two-level villas provide door to step parking and a private entrance. The suites are 980 square feet with an open loft bedroom plus a separate living area. The Villa also includes a bar.

I did not see a regency suite but was told that it included an indoor whirlpool tub and sauna.

All the villas have a nice patio/balcony.

We choose the normal villa which was more than fine for two people. We had a nice view over the McDowell Mountains and was very close to the large swimming pool as well. Furnishings and decor was Mediterranean in style and very nice. The room had highspeed internet access, voice messaging service, and a mini bar.

The bathroom facilities were very good and there was also a hairdryer. The most important feature of the hotel was the large swimming pool.

The crowd at the spa was very mixed, with young and older people plus families.

Radisson has meeting facilities and a good restaurant, which we didn't try.

I recently took advantage of one of IgoUgo’s "Travel On Us" opportunities and had a wonderful stay at the Radisson Resort and Spa in Scottsdale, AZ. Radisson Scottsdale The Resort was beautifully landscaped, filled with desert palms, cacti of every shape and size, and a bountiful selection of vibrant flowering plants. I felt relaxed the minute I entered the lobby of the resort. Refreshingly composed of marble and tile with green accents and a large fountain with a beautiful flower arrangement in its center. In the background you could hear the faint sound of piano music. The staff were all very courteous and we were kindly upgraded to a beautiful suite right near the main swimming pool. The resort was undergoing some construction in another part of their property, so they wanted to make sure we were in an undisturbed area.

Our suite was quite marvelous, split between two levels with a full bath, kitchenette, and living room on the first floor, and the bedroom and another full bath on the second floor. It was complete with all the necessary amenities: coffeemaker, TV, mini-bar, ironing board and bathrobes (which could be purchased if desired). The living room opened out into a small patio area that overlooked the garden surrounding the main pool and cabana bar. The hotel restaurant and bar were located just beyond the pool area (see dining entries for more details).

The resort was also comprised of 21 tennis courts, golf course and separate spa and fitness area. The resort fee (which was waived for us) allows access to all of these amenities, though the Spa services are must be purchased separately (see other activities for more details).

We had a very enjoyable stay at the resort and would highly recommend it to others, and hope to return again soon!

The room I stayed in can be best described as a 2 story townhouse - seperate from the main building, it housed 4 seperate units. My room was large and comfortable, clean and well maintained. There was a small pool just outside my porch doors. My only complaint with the room was that the heater was a bit noisy, as was the plumbing; I heard all the water through the pipes from the room above.

The grounds were beautiful, complete with a large, clean pool, tennis courts, and a health club and spa, which was huge.

The hotel featured 2 restaurants, and a micro pub bar. The concierge at the hotel was excellent - friendly, warm, and very smart - she knew where to go and how to get there, and provided free detailed maps.

Finally, this hotel offers free narrated tours of the Scottsdale landscape around the grounds - a nice touch.
