| - Let me start by saying we are NOT Diamond Resort owners (we just go when invited by our friend) so I don't know what any other properties look like, but we thought this place was fantastic! We enjoyed Memorial Day weekend here and were very happy with everything. The unit was spotless, beds were very comfy (even the pull out couch bed) they had EVERYTHING you would need from laundry soap, dish soap, new sponges, all utensils, cooking pots, pans and pool towels. Our unit even had laundry! So convenient! The decor was nice and updated. The kitchen and baths had granite counter tops and the kitchen appliances (coffer maker, toaster etc.) were all stainless steel cuisinart.
The patio/balcony was large and had a table big enough for 5 people and we ate outside AM and PM, never used the formal dining room. There are 2 pools, and "adult" and "kids". We went to the family pool. It was huge. They had pool activities for kids (and adults) I played bingo from my pool chair haha! There is also a BBQ area with Gas grilles and seating, TV's and shaded patio areas for groups, along with a kids play area, grass, and oversize chess/checkers area and ping pong tables. I thought the grounds were well kept and didn't see anything in disrepair. There was also plenty of parking.
A few things I noted: we were on the 3rd floor and there are NO elevators, but luckily we didn't have much stuff. But for a long term stay those stairs would get old after awhile! Actually, the view was a lot nicer up there. I noticed the 3 AC units are on the first floor, so some unfortunate unit likely heard 3 AC's cranking outside their window. That would be a bummer! Also, the Scottsdale airport is RIGHT next door so you will see and hear planes landing. It's relatively quiet between 10 pm and 6 am and was not too bad, but we definitely heard planes and jets landing.
So we were definitely happy with our stay. Why purchase a time share when you have friends who have one? We had a great relaxing weekend!
