Have stayed at this timeshare resort for 2 weeks to get away from the city and relax. The location is great - close enough to the hustle and bustle of downtown but far enough away to relax and unwind. Be sure to ask for a golf course view room. :) The painted desert sky, sunset, and green grass is definitely a welcome sight for this big city dweller. There is a small "market" on site but you are better off going to the large grocery store to get your kitchen items.
Stayed in a studio, 1 bedroom and 2 unit during my stays. Since the 2 bedroom units are lockouts (1 bedroom + studio) adjoined by an exterior door, by staying in a 2 bedroom you would know what the smaller units are like in case you want to down/upgrade your reservation next time.
The staff was nice and the pool access is at the Westin Kierland Resort (hotel) down the road. There is a shuttle bus that takes you there easily or you can drive. Definitely get to the hotel version of the resort at sunset for the Bagpipes guy that marches around the outdoor relaxation area....you definitely feel like you are in the Emerald isles looking at the green landscape and hearing the bagpipes. :)
