Great Family Vacation-would go back!
We took our 3 of our kids, 15, 12 and 8 and had a GREAT time. I heighly recommend this place for an unusual and quality experience. It was definitely a good deal as we booked it through Yahoo travel and made a package of it. Never have done this before and it worked out great. This is a slow part of the year so there were not any crowds and the weather was unusally warm, so, it was perfect. The room was a suite with two rooms, two queen beds and a fold out queen couch. Perfect to fit a family of 5. We requested to be near the pools so it was easy walking to get there every day. The pools are amazing and numerous so you will never be bored. Pools are warm and huge so we spent lots of time in the water, using the cool slide and lounging on one of the many beautiful deck areas. Lots of hot tubs which we liked. The landscape and location in Phoenix are perfect for those who like to hike, which we did. Located right in the middle of North Mountain recreation preserve there is plenty of hiking and great vistas and scenery. Real Arizona nature and beautiful.
There is great food on premises although pricey as expected. Quality was very good. Within easy reach are many restaurants and supper market to get inexpensive foods to save money and time. Resort staff was very friendly and helpful for suggestions and directions. Grounds are beautiful and definitely a resort property.
We love unusual places so the hillside terrain was not an issue for us or the narrow lanes within the resort. Made it very European feeling. There is a charge for using the on-premises computers. Cheesy in my opinion as most places offer it for free. Beside that, there are no negatives and we would go back for sure if we had the chance.
