Difficult to find main entrance upon arrival, I was allowed early check in at 12pm with $20 fee & had friends allowed early check in at 2pm without additional cost, lots of food & drink options on site, blow dryers, coffee maker, & fridge in room but no microwave. Fridge did not keep items cold, rather chilled like a wine fridge temperature. Slippers available in room but no robe. Shampoo, conditioner, body wash, lotion, bar soap, qtips, & cotton balls available in bathroom with soaker tub & shower with rain style shower head (not my personal favorite). No communication regarding room service or other optional amenities upon arrival as staff were direct, not warm/friendly or forthcoming with information. My room was not near any others in my group despite request. Pools had a lot of dirt & sediment in the bottom. Spa website lacked information however it is highly recommended! If you book a service go a few hours early or plan to stay after to enjoy full amenities. Thoroughly enjoyed the decently-sized gym with variety of weights, machines & cardio equipment with panoramic windows & a view. My west facing room overlooked west pool and west parking garage with view of sunset nightly. Bed was comfortable but lacking blankets. I’m usually a hot sleeper but rooms were blasting freezing air conditioner. Could never get room temp up despite thermostat on wall in room. Maybe this was the time of year I went, first week of 70° for AZ post summer. Wished rooms had Netflix option.

This property is beautiful. We had no complaints of property. It is not by the amphitheater as we had hoped. It is 18 miles away. My only complaint as we stayed there for a concert.

Great resort with plenty of things to keep you entertained. Good resturant choices. Great view of the mountains and nice atmosphere for rest and relaxation. Best part, thick walls that prevent disturbances from neighbors or hallway clatter.
