As a local this is my go to place for a weekend staycation. So much that I actually ended up spending my wedding night here rather than taking a honeymoon. The resort is beautifully kept and the staff is extremely friendly. I've now stayed here on three separate occasions and it is my first recommendation for out of town guests wanting to stay in Scottsdale. There is so much to do no matter what time of year. The resort offers daily activities on grounds and are knowledgeable on where to go near their location as well. There are multiple pools, golfing, gondola rides (yes, you read that correctly, $10 will get you a gondola ride around the little lake behind the hotel grounds), amongst many other choices. You can't go wrong stay at this paradise in the desert.
