Being from the East Coast I think the biggest hit for me about The Phoenician is the view! Right on the base of Camelback Mountain you really can't beat it. The spa itself is really lovely and smells great the moment you walk in the doors. I have noticed in Scottsdale everyone is so nice and helpful and the spa team really proved that too. From the front desk staff, locker attendant and my therapist I couldnt have met a nicer group of people. My massage was exactly what I needed and thats how you can tell a great therapist. I was in heaven! They also said they recently rennovated the Steam Room which I thought was really nice. I was also offered to attend meditation class in their relaxation room. What a fun experience! I sure felt more at peace after that and my massage. If we are in the area again I would definitely come back!
