Perfect for longer stay
I stayed here twice on recent trips to Phoenix and had great experiences both times. We are Shell Vacation Owners and this is our "home" resort but we'd never stayed before and now I'm sorry we never did a stay-cation when we lived in Phoenix because it was great. I booked a 1-bdrm unit both times and it was huge. The bedroom was very large and the bed was super comfy, there was a very large Jacuzzi tub in the bathroom as well as a stand up shower and not one but two vanities.....one next to the jacuzzi tub and one in the other part of the bathroom where the shower and toilet were....this would have made it really nice for a family or couple. There as a nice sized kitchen with everything I needed for my stay....washer/dryer, pots, pans, wine glasses, silverware, dishes, etc., a dining room with a table that seated 6 (which I ended up needing when family visited) and a living room with a sofa bed....oh and flat screen tvs with DVD players in both the living room and the bdrm. Also, you either have a nice balcony or patio with chaise lounges which was really nice in the evenings. The pool is really big with plenty of chaise lounges as well as tables and chairs with umbrellas. It wasn't crowded either stay (tho I know this is low season in PHX). I can't say enough about the staff....they were so polite and friendly and even remembered me when I came back the second time. Though I didn't partake because with family living in PHX, I was gone a lot, there seemed to be plenty of activities for guests and the spa was having some great specials....next time, maybe!
