    Cory S.

    I was looking for a good staycation while also earning American Airlines AAdvantage miles and loyalty points to maintain my status for another year. I found a great AAdvantage Hotel deal at the Hilton Phoenix Tapatio Cliffs Resort and booked it. While it was a great success of a visit in terms of AAdvantage miles and loyalty points, my actual experience at the hotel itself was less to be desired due to the customer service and a big snafu on their part. I also have Hilton Gold status, though as I booked the hotel through a third party site (AAdvantage Hotels), I could see the stay and the stay history in my Hilton app, but I did not receive any benefits for staying there, which was fine as I didn't expect any anyone. I arrived in person to check in and already reserved and prepaid for a King 1 Bedroom Standard Suite, which had a nice view and reasonably spacious room (but not too much larger than a regular room at another hotel). The room was certainly not upgraded though there was parking available right in front of the entrance. I did not receive anything else at check-in nor did it appear that I'd get my regularly complimentary water. I did pay the daily resort charge which includes high speed internet access, access to the Falls Water Village, an hour at the tennis/pickleball court, an hour at the afternoon golf practice facility, two hours for a mountain bike rental, 20% off seasonal spa services, and 15% off select golf apparel. While I didn't use it, I had easy view and access to the Falls Water Village where you could lounge and play all day on their sun-marked terrace where you could find free-form pools, hot tubs, and cabanas. They even have a 138-foot enclosed water slide. When I checked out, I was told that a bill would be sent to me shortly since I did it on the app early, and when I received the bill, there was a charge for my room at the restaurant at the top of the hill called A Different Point of View. The catch is that I never went to eat there during my stay (or at any onsite restaurant since I live in the area and had my meals offsite). I reached out to the hotel who insisted that I did go there to eat. I promised them I didn't eat anywhere onsite and that they need to look at the receipt and see if it actually has my room number. They confirmed it did and that this meant I ate there. I told them to find my name on it and let me know if it was on there. After several more back and forth conversations, they confirmed it wasn't me and would remove the charge. They then mistakenly charged me double. Then they removed one charge, but it took more than a week before they removed the other charge. By the end of the exchanges, it felt like they were blaming me for their own mistake. While the resort is aged and rather pleasant, there certainly are training issues regarding the customer service offered at this property. I do not plan on staying here again in the future.

    Hair in shower/tub.

    When I checked in, I was given a "room with a view," and charged an additional $45 per night for the upgrade. Unfortunately, there was absolutely no view. Stepping out the door of my room, all I could see was another section of hotel rooms directly in front of us. Looking left and right, there were more hotel rooms, and the view from the balcony was a rooftop covered with AC units. Paying extra for what amounted to a view of concrete and mechanical equipment was extremely disappointing. The next morning, I needed to shower before an important medical procedure. I turned on the hot water and let it run for a very long time, but it never got hot. When I called the front desk, it took quite a while for someone to answer. After explaining that I had no hot water and that I needed to get ready for a medical procedure, the employee asked, "What would you like me to do about it?" Then she followed with, "Do you want me to send engineering to your room?" The lack of urgency and concern was frustrating and came across as dismissive. Once I was finally able to shower, I found hair on the soap dish, hair on the shower walls, and hair in the tub. It was disgusting and made me question the cleanliness of the room. To make matters worse, there was a flashing light in the bedroom that blinked every five seconds throughout our stay. Also had to haul luggage up several flights of steps as there appeared to be no elevator. Parking is horrendous. Overall, this property feels dated, yet it charges premium prices. Between the nonexistent "view," lack of hot water, cleanliness issues, and poor customer service, this stay fell far below what I expect from a Hilton property. I've stayed in much nicer hotels for far less money. I left extremely disappointed and would not recommend paying the premium rates at Hilton Phoenix Tapatio Cliffs Resort. I probably won't ever use a Hilton Honors property again.

    Love Hilton Tapatio Cliffs! Definitely my favorite hotel I've stayed at and I stay in a lot of hotels. They have multiple restaurants, 8 pools, hot tubs, a spa, a golf course, a mountain, and more right on their property. You could stay at the resort your whole trip, or you could use it as your home base while you travel. I can't wait to come back here again. The staff is friendly and knowledgeable, and the rooms are spacious, up to date, clean and have balconies. Such a great place!

    DO YOUR RESEARCH BEFORE STATING HERE. I am going to be as gentle as possible. I'll let my photos say the rest. My org had a large 2-day training here. ALL of the staff are amazing! That is the one redeeming thing about this property. The online photos are beautiful but deceiving. For the nightly rate, I was expecting 5 star accommodations. Not the case. Cleanliness, comfort, food and updated rooms are all lacking. This seems to bee a common theme with older Hilton properties. My stay here reminded me why I switched to Marriott. Thanks for the reminder. The one star rating is only because the staff were amazing.

    Great stay at tapatio for a soccer tournament! Very attentive staff and the breakfast buffet was pretty good for what you're getting. We also received vouchers for it so it was well worth it for us. There are a lot of pools in this hotel too! Some of them are open till 11pm which is great! And has a jacuzzi! The rooms are nice too no complaints and I love that parking is nearby. Golf carts are there to take you around all you need to do is text the staff. Super friendly staff! I thoroughly enjoyed our stay here! Will def be back! I was not able to see the different point of view restaurant so hopefully next time!

    Nothing but great things to say about this place! A gem in the desert! Stayed here for a recent conference and it did not disappoint. The staff and grounds were amazing. Liz took care of me every morning for a pick me up. I stayed in a cliff side suite. So spacious, great amenities and beautiful views by day or night. Lots to do and see while on resort. From golfing to a spa they had you covered. They also had many pools and whirlpools. Some for families and others for adults only. Treat yourself with a visit! You will not be disappointed!

    The "order food here" board, nothing works! And you get a crappy attitude with it!

    First impression in golf shop, Jeff, grumpy, unengaging. Second impression, Cart Girl, un concerned about anything or you. This impression, Dude in half way house, you're bothering him with a phone call (because their app doesn't work), and then when you get there, he cares even less. What a waste of an amazing course with no leadership or customer service effort. Go somewhere else.

    I stayed here for a work conference, and I am very pleased with this hotel. They did the training at the facility. It was pretty cool. They even served us food throughout the whole training and the food was not bad at all.

    We stayed here in May and overall had a wonderful experience. The resort itself was beautiful, with well-kept grounds and a welcoming atmosphere. Our room was spacious, comfortable, and exceeded expectations. The only downside was that the pool was colder than we would have liked, which made it hard to enjoy swimming for long periods. Because of that, I'm giving it four stars instead of five. Otherwise, it was a great stay and I'd definitely return!

    Waterfall in front of our hotel room on the cliff backside, idk ppl swim in it, its just for looks

The hotel is inspired by the colorful and folk art influenced works of renowned mid-century modern architect and designer Alexander "Sandro" Girard. The hotel's bio says he was the main source of inspiration for the design of the Andaz Scottsdale. The property is beautiful to walk around, with all the landscaping, flowers and trees; some of them are marked with what kind of plant they are. There are century plants and aloe and various cacti. The fitness center is located at the spa. It has windows which open up onto the pool, which is a more private pool than the main pool. The staff is outstanding. Savannah, who ran the front desk on my most recent visit, is absolutely amazing and really helped with any questions or small issues with my stay. The restaurant is wonderful for the hotel breakfast. I recommend having cocktails there too. You can see a beautiful sunset from the bar. I love the open design of this hotel resort because it makes you feel like you're in the countryside and you can admire the beautiful views of Camelback as you walk around the grounds and hear birds chirping. It's so relaxing. Parking is easy and you can usually find a spot right outside your casita room as the parking circles the hotel. Toiletries in the room smell so good! Lavender with sea salt. It's really like staying in a spa! One of my favorite experiences at this hotel was taking a late afternoon outdoor class at the spa/gym on the large lawn where we did stretching/light resistance training with the the sunset behind Camelback Mountain as the backdrop. It was glorious. I definitely recommend trying one of the classes or "experiences" if you stay here. Some of them you have to pay extra for, but a few of them are included with your room rate. At first glance the hotel interiors and architecture seem extremely simple and minimal, but then you realize it's actually all a piece of mid-century modern inspired art. It's really fun to walk around and admire all the understated design details at this hotel.

Again I tipped 25% My phone has text alert and I noticed the bill was $42.62 for what should have been $22.00 max I bought it to my bar tenders attention and she was working things out on the registry and came back with a receipt that didn't have prices just my order but she had added 1 extra beer. I told her it was wrong and she said it wasn't that the first time she had only charged me for 2 beers and this was my third beer. I did not want to argue so I left it at that but I couldn't sleep thinking about it. I mean dang I even tipped her good. The next day I reached out. To management I don't mind taking care of my servers and I'm always a good tipper. But I don't like being taken advantage of because they think I had a few drinks. Or they think I won't notice extra things. This is not okay. The hotel you check into is supposed to be a safe place like home to enjoy a drink or two. The management offered to refund the first bill of 52.18. But I told him I just wanted what I was over charged refunded plus my tips. At this point I feel she had the chance to correct my bill and make things right but she chose to make me feel like I was in the wrong. After the manager added my first bill up after I told him what I had ordered it turns out she charged 4 beers the first time and not just my 3 and way over charged me the second time. This is a great place to stay but keep an eye on what you order. More so late at night. Also my hot wings were cold in the center but I didn't even mention it to her at the time.

Dining: TAQUERIA CENTRO -- 10 out of 10. The food and service were both exceptional. Manager Carlos did an outstanding job and was a true highlight of our stay. Prado -- 4 out of 10. We visited Prado twice during our stay. Our first visit was for breakfast -- the food was okay but noticeably overpriced for what was offered. Our second visit was a far worse experience. We were seated and waited 15 minutes without our server ever acknowledging us, so we got up and left. The service at this restaurant was consistently poor and the pricing did not reflect the quality or experience provided. Dining Options -- Room for Improvement. For a resort of this size and reputation, the dining options felt limited. We would strongly recommend adding at least one additional restaurant to give guests more variety. The snack and coffee shop, which could help fill that gap, closed far too early in the evening. Extending those hours would go a long way in improving the overall guest experience, particularly for those who want a light bite or a cup of coffee later in the day. The Room -- 6 out of 10. The room itself was nice, but there were several issues that fell well below the standard I would expect from a resort of this caliber. The bed was old and noticeably worn down, making for an uncomfortable night's sleep. To make matters worse, the comforter on the bed was torn and had visible holes in it -- something that should never make it into a guest room. We also struggled with the room temperature throughout the night and were unable to get it to cool down comfortably. A Bright Spot at Checkout: I spoke with Avery Williams, Director of Front Office, at checkout and she was genuinely outstanding. She was sincerely concerned about the issues we experienced and did everything she could to address them. She even followed up with an email after our departure, which was a very nice touch. Overall, I left feeling somewhat disappointed given the reputation of this resort. With a few improvements -- additional dining options, extended snack shop hours, updated room bedding and linens, and better temperature control -- along with a serious look at the service standards at Prado, this could easily be a 9 or 10 out of 10 experience.
