Hilton Phoenix Resort at the Peak

Hilton Phoenix Resort at the Peak

10/10 Excellent
"This resort was super nice. It could very well be considered a hidden gem. Most if not all of the property has been remodeled. The rooms as well as landscaping. The room was very clean and neat. My room had wood flooring (which I prefer), a double headed shower & a full body mirror!!! Thats a plus for a woman! I also loved the floor plan. If you needed privacy within your room. Its possible. There was coffee, water, body wash (smelled amazing) shampoo, conditioner. They even had makeup wipes. The bed was super comfy. The property was quiet. Even with landscaping work being done. The staff were very pleasant and accommodating. I even had a property manager text me and ask about my stay so far. So very pleasant staff. There is a Starbucks & a bar area that also serves food in their Lobby. It’s a decent vibe if you want to just chill, have a drink (they have mocktails!) or grab a quick bite to eat. There is an onsite Spa and Gym. Which offers classes. This resort also has a water park located on the property. It has multiple pools, a lazy river, a pool bar and restaurant. If you stay at the resort. Entry is included in your booking. Definitely a plus. They have tons of chairs, umbrellas and tubes to use in the Lazy river. You can arrive at this resort and not have to leave. It has everything here. Now if you need or wanted to leave. It’s conveniently located within 15 minutes of everything. I thoroughly enjoyed my stay and I will definitely stay again. Good Job Hilton!!!"
