| - DROP IT LIKE ITS HOT?! NOT because its AZ, but because I met PHARRELL HERE!!!! Work brought us here for a week. I was consistently impressed in multiple categories, and then rocked back to earth in other categories. I'm pretty sure less effort goes into the summer season? Not really sure. I'll start with the bad, and remember, I was there mid-June.
If you goto a "Bar" and the "bartender" takes your drink order, the "Bartender" shouldn't leave the "Bar" to goto another "Bar" that I can see to put in your drink order and then come back to the "Bar" you are sitting at to take some other patrons order?!?!?! Then return to the other "bar" and bring back your drink you ordered?! Why would I have not just sat at the other bar? Seriously annoyed the hell out of me.
Food at all the onsite restaurants I tried undelivered but the catering for our work event was amazing (REALLY good catering for a large group). La Hacienda was overpriced Mexican, and not that tasty. The steakhouse was VERY overpriced and the steak was cooked completely wrong at a 4 DIAMOND steakhouse?!?! Shocked.
My room.... amazing. Overlooking the south pool, king size suite that felt enormous. Everything you wanted. Left razor at home, brought to my room right away by housekeeping. VERY nice rooms. Request pool view for sure. AC works great, although the noise of these things always bugs me...just not use to them I guess.
Swimming pools, VERY nice. Not overcrowded like the Valley Ho I had stayed at the weekend before to party at. Very clean, lacking a bit in service.... but the drinks were $11 a pop for WELL, so that was better for my companies bottom line.
All in all, great spot, great staff, great place to have a work event... oh ya, I almost forgot to mention!!!!, I met Pharrell Williams here!!! That was pretty freaking cool.
