So it's been years that I have stayed at this resort due to bad experiences with quality accommodations in the past but it was the best deal for a last minute Fourth of July staycation and decided to go for it.
Well, I'm glad I did because for the price on a holiday weekend it was so worth it.
Price paid was $89 w AAA discount plus tax and resort fee. I know some people gripe about res fees but seriously if u staycay often; resort fees are the norm at resorts in town. It was 18 per night which beats paying 40+ at others.
Anywho here are some pros and cons
Pros:
-mountainside room (room 4176) we received was nicely renovated, ample, clean, separate living room
-being able to be picked up by complimentary resort shuttle to go to and fro from the big resort to pools and restaurants was a plus
-pool was lax so no worries about overbearing life guards hawking ur every move
-activities for kids/dive in movies
-baby area in pool
-beautiful Sonoran landscape
-many hiking opportunities
Cons
-in evening there is longer wait for shuttle pick-up
-water park area lacks a lazy river or wave pool ; only has one slide
Dress code: resort casual, poolside suits ranged from the meshy borderline stripper wearing kind to the nana swimdress
