  • The grounds were beautiful, the room spacious, loved the sheets, and the pool areas very nice. Plenty of staff when needed but left alone when desired.
  • Long walk from parking lot.

“This was a perfect place for me to be pampered, find peace and quiet and relax. I would highly recommend it. I was upgraded to a luxury suite and loved the spaciousness and balcony. The best 99.00 I ever spent.”

  • Beautiful lobby, pools and outside lounging/cocktails.
  • The beds were very small, maybe not even a queen size.

“Very nice, we had a great time. Food is very expensive. We only had one meal at the resort besides lunch at poolside. Overall, well worth it and a beautiful place to stay.”

  • The pool area is awesome!
  • It is 20 miles away from the airport. Not convenient to Downtown Phoenix.

  • The bathroom was great. It had a very nice tub and separate shower.
  • The walk to self park was quite far.

“The grounds were beautiful. We saw many rabbits and a few families of quail. There was live music outside in the evening which was very nice being that our porch looked out over the area where they were playing. We were disappointed that they didn't light the fire above the pool area or have the Saturday night movie at the pool for the kids. The wind had been blowing, but it stopped before the movie was supposed to start. The lazy river was very nice to relax and float on.”

  • Fantastic Pool/Water park area.
  • Excessive daily parking fees.

“Although pricey in every aspect, this hotel fits the bill as a top resort destination in Phoenix. The attentive staff was fantastic - bellmen, room service staff, maids, front desk, servers & all. The kids had a fabulous time in the lazy river & loved the dive in movies. My husband's & my dinner at Roys was both romantic and incredibly delicious. It's a dinner we won't soon forget. I would highly recommend this resort for both families & couples. There is much for all to enjoy!”

  • All about the luxury at this hotel with several restaurants and many things to keep you busy. The grounds are gorgeous.
  • Nothing. We loved it!

“The grounds are beautiful. You could spend half a day walking around looking at all of the beautiful desert plants. This hotel is great for families. The pool area has a lazy river with 2 pools and a hot tub. You can eat and drink poolside. The rooms are large but the bathroom is the best part of the room. It is huge offering a separate shower and bath area with marble tiles. Staff is friendly and helpful and my favorite a star bucks is located inside the resort complex. Highly recommend this hotel/resort.”

  • Staff was exceptional; design and layout were very nice.
  • When calling prior to our stay to request a crib I felt like I was bothering them.

“Went with wife and daughter for spring training and had a great time. The pool area and back patio were amazing. My daughter loved the lazy river. The location is a little remote, about 25-45 minutes to most ballparks, but not too much of a problem. We loved it and will be back.”

  • Great escape. Wonderful service.
  • Traffic in north phoenix can be a pain.

“This is the ultimate relaxation hotel. They have done it right. Streaming waterfalls, lazy river, iced water/tea with great presentation. The staff was tremendous and they should be complemented. I will definitely go back. I even saw a celebrity--Emit Smith at the hotel.”

  • The amenities were top notch, to include restaurants, bars, workout facility, and even a free laundry. Beautiful grounds and pools.
  • The only thing is that the suite we had only had on sink.

“The hotel is beautiful, well maintained, and extremely clean and comfortable. The staff is very professional and courteous. The food and drinks on grounds are very good and reasonably priced. The pool areas are great for kids and adults.”

  • Very beautiful hotel! Rooms were spacious! Pools were great!
  • Food was a little expensive.

“We had a wonderful stay at the JW for our anniversary. We had our 16 month old daughter with us for part of the weekend. The staff was very accommodating. The pools were wonderful, there was always open chairs right by one of the multiple pools. The Blue Sage was a great place for breakfast, I loved the Spinach egg white omelet! Good location!”

  • Nice overall grounds, free laundry facilities, overall nice design.
  • Awful air conditioning. Hallways were musty. In-room A/C was better but not great.

“Nice property and grounds. Service overall good. However, our visit was spoiled due to extremely poor air conditioning (in Arizona no less). Hallways were musty with a very strong odor. In room air conditioning was better, but did not sufficiently cool air or get rid of humidity. Unlikely to stay here in the future unless problem is resolved.”

  • Great pools, loved the lazy river for kids, fountains were fun for kids, service was good, architecture and landscaping was really pretty.
  • I wished it was a suite like other similarly priced resorts.

“We really liked staying here, the pools and fountains and palm trees made us feel we were on vacation in a far away place, which was relaxing for a weekend getaway. I would definitely recommend this to friends, with the one hindrance being that the room wasn't a suite.”
