We were able to check in early and it really didn’t look like they were that many people staying there but the public areas were crowded with families. We did get an upgraded room, but it really wasn’t all that special. It was quiet and faced the golf course and mountains. It’s a very large resort and it took...”

“Love this place! Great 3 night stay right before the end of the year. Room was well appointed and the very comfortable. Good sized balcony with a great view. While we did not use the pool, the pool area was amazing with many private areas one could use. Really great service from everyone in the lobby bar. No complaints at all. I will return next time I am in the Scottdale area!”
“Elite mega resort for the wealthy and upper middle case who are in business and or splurge. Well funded and designed establishment with impeccable layout of features pertaining to business and leisure activities. Water attractions are next level comparable to actual theme parks. All staff are well trained and hospitable. Only draw back in my opinion is the onsite food scene. The selection, cost, and reviews led me to pursue offsite options.”
