| - Awesome resort. Just finished a weekend there with my wife for our 20th wedding anniversary. We could not have had a better experience!
What was Awesome?
Scott- This GM of facilities was omnipresent and congenial offering assistance when needed but his presence made everyone bring their "A-game" while simultaneously creating a positive and fun environment.
The girls (and boy) at the front desk were spectacular. EVERY time we came to the front of the building they asked how our stay was going, what they could do to help us and what we wanted from them now. Very professional and accommodating.
Each meal was full of surprises and deliciousness. The breakfasts were particularly special but we enjoyed each meal. Scottsdale seems to have a city-wide competition going to have the best food and the Andaz is right up there with all the rest. Aaron was a great server among many special waiters and waitresses. Florian, who runs the food and bev side of the Andaz, was also a standout over the weekend we had.
The bar was fun and not over the top. Its not the main focus of the hotel but it has neat little nooks and crannies to sit and have privacy or you can belly up with "Mike and Mike" for some homespun drinks and fodder. These two tenders continually made us drinks that weren't on the menu, which was a fun.
Noelle and Jesse were great!! these young ladies literally ran your food and drinks and anything else you needed to you. My wife and I were tired watching them but they assured us they were "having fun at work."
The cleaning group was prompt , efficient and kind. we needed a few special things (a coffee mug, ice and a humidifier) and they were brought to us immediately.
The weight room was awesome. Check out the pics on the website but it has a garage door opening to a wonderful view which made the burpees only slightly less painful.
The location initially concerned me but immediately faded after we entered the grounds. The Andaz is right off of Scottsdale road so you feel like you're turning off a busy road in to the facility, which you are, but as soon as you get out of the car you're transported to a resort feel and ambiance. The best part is you're close to everything at this locale!
Highlights: Meals, the grounds, rooms are very cool, pool is solid and the outside bar was fun. It also didn't suck being driven around Scottsdale in a Tesla which are the shuttle vehicles for the Andaz.
nothing is perfect, so what could be improved?
I thought the sound system was a little lacking at the pool. No real bass though the music selection was very good. Also, the spa is on the small side though it offers what other resort spas offer in the area.
Long review but I hope it was helpful. Great place, enjoy!
