  • We took a short mid summer vacation here with our teen son and nephew. We've stayed at many Scottsdale and Phoenix resorts over the years. This is definitely one of the nicer ones. It's located right across from the Desert Ridge Marketplace which is a terrific outdoor shopping area with loads of restaurants and a wide assortment of shops and stores as well as an outdoor water feature for young children. We stayed in the Canyon Villas which is the vacation club aka timeshare side of things. We had a very spacious and well appointed one bedroom unit on the top (third) floor overlooking the golf course. The unit was well stocked with useful utensils and cookware. The kitchen has granite counters and a water feature in the a wall alcove. The resort is quite large and expansive. The grounds are simply beautiful with lots of surrounding native plants and wildlife. The main hotel and spa is a short distance from the villas and there are shuttles that run between both locations every half hour. If you prefer to walk, it's not that far, probably about 10 minutes on foot. The facilities are top drawer all the way. Guests staying at the Villas can also access the main pool and spa at the hotel. It has a decent lazy river, a couple of long pools and a main pool. There's even a small water slide and a pool and water features for little tikes. There is poolside beverage and food service. During our stay, the water was a little murky probably from all the suntan/screen fro swimmers. We actually preferred the main pool at the Villas which is a bit larger with outdoor table games, a water fall and lap pool. Our only real disappointment was the construction going on outside the main lobby leading to the hotel pool. Lots of jack hammer noise but not enough to ruin things. There must have been a plumbing issue because many of the surrounding water ways and falls were not operating which detracted a bit from the overall ambiance of things. Poolside drinks are expensive so go lightly unless your uber wealthy. I probably would have given this resort 5 stars but for the construction noise and inoperable water features. The staff is very helpful and gracious. We had a problem with a slow flushing toilet which was promptly repaired. We received a call a couple of hours later to check on its status and our satisfaction. Unlike most timeshare properties, The Villas does NOT offer mid week housekeeping unless you want to pay an extra $30 to $90 depending on the unit size and services desired. Housekeeping is very responsive when additional pillows and blankets were needed. The only resort that we like better is Kierland Resort & Spa located in north Scottsdale. It's just a bit nicer with better water features and pools and more shade from mature landscaping. We couldn't get a villa there so we opted to stay here instead and we were NOT disappointed and you won't be either.
