| - First off, ignore the review from Jen S. 1/19/2011, as it doesn't fall in with other reviewers & we have stayed here 3 summers for the week each time. Canyon Villas is beautiful inside & out & very clean. If you ever have a problem call to report it & they will fix it quickly. Hispanic maids at hotels never seem to report stuff like clogged drains or leaky faucets, etc.(in my experience). Marriott service is amazing. Yes, they do have a cowboy singer who is at the firepit for about an hour so, who plays a guitar, but you don't have to sign along, & it is not a detriment. This resort is not for old people, or hokey in the least. It is beautiful with multiple pools on site (as well as those you can use at the adjacent Marriott JW Hotel). The rooms at the hotel are smaller & no kitchen/washer dryer, etc. If you like to cook your own meals, like having a balcony with table/chairs, dishwasher, & all amenities, incl. granite counters throughout, then the Villas are for you. They can be rented by the night using Marriott reservations number or www.marriott.com. Select Marriott Vacation Club for the search by hotel type & enter Phoenix. There are now DVD players in every room, the "studio" (lockoff unit), the 1 bedroom master & the living room. These 3 components equal a 2 bedroom, 2 bath unit. You can rent 2 bedroom as stated, or just the studio with mini kitchen (small fridge, microwave), living room, sleeper sofa & king bed, full bathroom. The 1 bedroom is the master unit with separate bedroom, bathroom with large shower, sink & toilet, plus a large soaking tub & 2nd sink. Living room also has a dining table that sits 6 people with included chairs. Marriott is upgrading sleeper sofas in all units when they come up for renovations to a new type that was tested at Marriott Villas Mountainside Park City Utah. They are made by American Leather & are memory foam mattresses that fold out & are much, much better than the existing standard metal frame & lumpy old mattresses. No telling when all locations will have them. There is a special kids pool area at the north end of the Villas resort. It has sprayers in the concrete, etc. There is also a separate playground area between some of the buildings at the north end. Each building is 3 stories high & each building has an elevator. Generally these units are pretty quiet in my experience. I have found the Canyon Villas to have a very good maid staff & they are very clean. We usually trade our week for a week each year at Canyon Villas because we love it. I love the desert & the landscaping & wildlife at Canyon Villas is just beautiful. There is a free shuttle to the JW each hour & they go to Desert Ridge Shopping Center every 2 hours on the even hour. Desert Ridge has BJ's Brewpub, Barnes & Noble, Dave & Busters entertainment,a large movie theatre, Kohls, & numerous other large restaurants & shopping. You also get your groceries to stock the villa there at Albertsons (a great market). We always can't wait to go back every year. There is lots to do if you want to venture out, like the Phoenix Art Museum, Bot. Gardens, Zoo, Arizona Rock & Mineral Museum, visit the State Capital building, etc. There is Wildfire Golf Course on one side of the property & another amazing Golf course on the other side. Oh, the beds are the same as in the JW, firm, but have a pillow topper on them. Super comfortable always! Also, as the units are updated, they are going to have all stainless steel appliances. If you do the highly recommended Marriott tour, you will see the updated unit they use for showing. Marriott is a great company & timeshare tours are not high pressure. It is a great product & well worth buying into. They no longer sell weeks, just points & you no longer are tied to a home resort. You can use your points annually for where ever you want to stay. You buy a point value & still pay maint. fees based on the point value you buy.
