Features
What to expect: Upgraded through a $60-million renovation in 2004, this famed resort grew to 125 acres and 452 guestrooms since opening in 1936, while retaining an easy-going Navajo/Western ambience characterized by the original adobe-brick lobby, including a gas fireplace, leather seating, painted-beam ceiling, and wagon-wheel chandeliers. Highlights of the resort's expansive grounds include bronze Native American sculptures, fountains, boulders, cactus gardens, bougainvillea, desert plants, flowering bushes, and palm trees.
Amenity highlights: A health-and-beauty spa contains a healthful-food restaurant, a lap pool with sunning terraces and rental cabanas, outdoor and indoor spa tubs, a fitness/exercise center, and Southwestern-styled treatments. Surrounded by cacti and boulders and bordered by sunning terraces, a pool complex offers a 150-foot-long, freeform pool with a lap-pool section; two 20-person spa tubs; and a children's play area with interactive fountains and sprays.
Insider tip: When the town of Paradise Valley was formed, it excluded all commercial development. Because the town surrounds the resort, the resort had to be grandfathered in as part of Scottsdale. Guests joining the resort's guided morning power walk through Paradise Valley encounter no fast-food franchises or neon, just expensive low-rise residences and desert flora.

| The resort is very spread out so be prepared to walk. Scenery is beautiful. Rooms were spacious. The pool is not very big and in the high season I suspect it's very crowded. The resort is centrally located, but you will need transportation. They do have towncar service available. Spa was nice, but not out of this world--book your appt way in advance.

| My family of four stayed during the off season when it was more affordable. We got 2 double beds and a pull out single in one room. Tight quarters, but we did not spend much time in the room. We had plenty to do in the area, and relax poolside at one of the two pools. Breakfast was rather expensive, but many places to eat "off campus". If you are looking to spend a few dollars and be pampered, I would recommend the Camelback Inn.

| This hotel is both kid and adult friendly. We took our two boys, ages four and two, and we all had a blast! The people at the hotel were as friendly to our kids as they were to us. There is plenty to do, a great spa and workout facility, awesome pools, great food and the setting is perfect! It's an easy drive from the Phoenix Airport as well. We can't wait to return!

| We felt welcomed from the minute we drove up to this hotel and were offered little bottles of ice cold water by the bell man. The reception desk was friendly and quick, and they found us exactly the kind of room we wanted. Everywhere we went we were greeted by the staff in a friendly manner. The Jackrabbit Pool was exceptionally fun; we were constantly attended to and offered icy treats in the heat of the day. For morning and evening walks there was a nice little trail into the desert. Rita's Taqueria offered hand made margheritas and great tacos at half price during happy hour in a congenial attentive atmosphere. The concierge pleasantly gave us just the information we needed. We enjoyed exploring the immaculately kept warren of foot paths around the resort. Our room was kept constantly neat and tidy and stocked with the requisite amenities daily. The fitness room was clean and efficient and complete. This hotel was everything we expedted from a desert resort.

| Was a great place to stay - relaxing, beautiful and with great service. We went to get away from our son one last time before having our second child. But it was a quiet resort that was also family friendly - so we've already talked about taking the whole family next time. We were planning the next trip before we left - so definitely was worth it!
