| - the resort is swanky. very deluxe. loads of amenities and nice-ities (if that's how you spell it). the bar downstairs has some great shuttle board game - some people get waaayyy too into that game btw! they have great scotch. and don't miss your opportunity to sit outside by the fireplace and have some drinks when the weather is perfect and the views are excellent. I didn't go into the "family pool" - only the adult pool and it sufficed for my leisurely needs. i did, however, advantage of the spa - see next review. the buffet for breakfast was pretty good with it's selection of muffins, pancakes, etc... another added benefit to this resort is that it's walking distance from the mall right across the street with the tommy bahama's and the sushi place, some decent local shopping. although i would try to avoid walking around an outdoor mall in arizona in the summer. they do their best to blow cold water on you as you walk around outside but sheesh, it does NOT do the trick. you're plain baking and the shops look a lot less appetizing when you're on fire. the resort itself though was very good. 4 stars. location, pool, spa, bars, restaurants, everything you can ask for. perhaps the only downside (which isn't a downside for some) was the high number of kids walking around everywhere. if you're a business man on travel, it's torrible but if you're a couple looking for something romantic, it's not ideal .
