Great staff, awesome amenities, if you don't mind walking its close to shopping and food. The restaurants in the hotel are amazing though. Pool areas and gym are wonderful. Loved our stay!
This hotel was the best decision I made when thinking about staying at Arizona. The water slides are amazing and so are the rest of the pools. It’s very family friendly. Perfect for all ages. Best experience ever. The rooms were so clean and nice along with the staff.
We really felt welcomed! The staff were friendly and helpful. The grounds were well maintained and the room was very clean. The lazy river was a ton of fun. A definite 5 star Hotel. We are planning to go back again soon.
Loved that the resort included everything you would need in a vacation. Several restaurants and plenty of activities for my family. The resort was amazing!
Absolutely beautiful property. Full of amenities and you honestly don’t have to leave the resort for things to do. I can’t wait to come back again.

The food was terrible, we ordered room service and it was sad. For a $600 room I would think that they could get french fries right. Don't order fries, cheeseburgers , loaded fries. None of the kid food was acceptable.
The hotel was fine. Staff was lovely. The Waterpark is great for young families. Lots of children. The water in the pools was not cooled and therefore not refreshing. Lazy river was nice. Restaurants were mediocre at best, yet costly.
Many of the floors were slippery, including steps in main area, bathrooms in room and shower stalls.
They forgot to clean our room and showed up at 5pm.
Takes many many rings for guest services to answer phone. They were nice when answered.
Perhaps they are low on staff in these areas?
