Description: We've stayed at the Pointe Hilton at South Mountain Resort twice now...once when we first moved to Phoenix 7 years ago (my company put us up there while trying to talk us into moving...obviously, it worked) and once last weekend (Labor Day 2002). While there have been some major changes in the last 7 years, the basic quality of the resort remains the same.
The Pointe is an all-suite resort which is a necessity for us now with two small children. Our unit had a small kitchenette with sink, refrigerator, coffee maker, and hospitality bar. No microwave though, which actually kind of surprised us.
The room itself is very nice and very comfortable. Even when we folded out the hide-a-bed from the sofa, there was still ample space left in the room to move about and let our daughter play.
The reason that we spent the night at this resort, however (since our house is only 20 minutes away), is for the newly built water park: The Oasis. (See my breakout on this waterpark for more details.)
The resort has great rates during the summer (we stayed for under $100), and with the Oasis waterpark added to the several other pools the resort has throughout the grounds, it was definitely worth it to visit. I don't play golf, but from what I understand from friends that do, the Phantom Horse golf course at the resort is a great course.
All in all, a great resort. Check out their Web site at www.pointesouthmtn.com
