Whether your travelling on business (hopefully you got the group rate!) or enjoying a vacation in the Arizona sun, the Phoenician is a great place to be! There are tons(!) of events to stay entertained with, many pools, cabanas, an amazing gold course with nearby tennis courts, and even though it's a "little touch," how cute is a cactus garden to wander through while enjoying your morning coffee!?
Why not 5 stars? The prices. It's located at the base of Camelback Mountain which is a prime area for those visiting the Scottsdale/Phoenix area, but the Phoenician takes advantage of this with their outrageous prices! Don't expect to find much in the "free" category (free sunshine?) as this place isn't doing your wallet any favors...however, if you're able to experience the resort at least once, it will be well worth it!
