I came here for a company training retreat and thought this was one of the better venues they chose compared to previous events. Why did they choose Phoenix when 99% of the attendees weren't even from Arizona? Who knows! It's right off the freeway so it was easy to find.
The resort fee is outrageous, but I'm glad that was waived because we were part of a group block. Getting around the resort was easy and all the buildings were a very short walk to each other. Restaurants were very limited so we either ate at the Lobby Grill or drove off the property to some nearby restaurants.
Since I'm no longer a broke college kid, I refused to sardine twenty people into one room. I shared a two-bed "Resort Suite" with two of my associates and before we got into an intense battle of rock-paper-scissors on who gets a bed to herself, we discovered the couch was a pullout. Each of us had our own beds and we were nice and happy. If you really wanted to get ghetto, you can easily sleep six or more. The minifridge was already stocked, but the girls at the front desk told us we could just put everything aside to make room for our own food and drinks.
We didn't get to go to the water park so I can't really report on that. All in all, I had a great experience and would return here again.
