A most exquisite and magical destination. If you're looking for pure relaxation and fabulous food…read morefrom morning to night , you're in good hands at Castle Hot Springs. I celebrated my 50th birthday three years ago and the place is incredibly peaceful and rejuvenating. The attentive staff makes this place very special. Istvan and Ian and Rafaela at Harvest were particularly delightful and the farm fresh food is just incredible! The Hot Springs are very soothing, relaxing and reinvigorating. Don't expect a TV in the room as they are absent. If you just wanna relax and catch up on your sleep or read a good book with no noise to be found, this is a place for you. The 7 mile dirt road to the resort is very scenic and you are likely to find burros along the way. Definitely need some kind of suv for that part. Or if you have no object to spending money, then take the helicopter from Scottsdale airport to whisk for a 20 minute ride to the resort.

(I'm AZ native local) My review:…read moreEhhhh....i guess I'd recommend it to people from out of state if they are REALLY REALLY interested in trying hot springs and hiking the desert mountains. The property is absolutely beautiful.... gorgeous to say the least. Superb customer service no doubt!!! Every employee on property was a delight to chat with, whether it's the cool farmer who's growing the vegetables, the housekeeping, service or upper management, everyone is extremely pleasant. My only "issues": - Hard to find the value at a price point of $100+ per hour for every hour you are there. - The food was slightly underwhelming. Not bad by any means but doesn't hit the mark commensurate with the price. (All the vegetables are amazingly tasty!!) - for a resort, it's a little too rigid in terms of having to plan each individual activity....i am i'll go with the flow semi spontaneous type of person so it didn't really fit my vibe but those who like to play in their day out this would be great for them -every "room/cabana" should have a bathtub that is large enough for two people. - too many à la carte activities at a very premium price. We didn't partake in those activities so I can't speak on those but the Farm tour was nice and complimentary thought the customer is still paying $100per hr to be there. The only reason I'm not giving this five stars is shortcomings in value for the price as well as almost every activity is à la carte and expensive. The staff at Castle Hot Springs is amazing, kudos to all those that are working hard; it's seen and appreciated.

I am extremely disappointed with how management handles customer property damage at this resort…read more While parked at The Wigwam, a stray golf ball from the nearby course struck the trunk of my 2025 Lexus ES 350, leaving a significant dent. There are no "park at your own risk" warning signs posted anywhere in this parking area. I immediately reported the damage to security, who came out and filed an official incident report. I was assured that the Director of Operations, Sheffield Crosby, would reach out to me the following Monday with the results of their investigation. It has been complete radio silence ever since. Despite leaving voicemails and sending an email, management refuses to return my calls, acknowledge the incident, or address my concerns. It is incredibly frustrating that a resort of this caliber simply sweeps incidents like this under the rug and pretends they never happened once you leave the property. If you are visiting or staying here, be highly aware that your vehicle is at risk of damage from the golf course, and the leadership team will completely ignore you when it happens. Park at your own risk, because management certainly won't take any responsibility. TO THE OWNER: no need to reply with a "we are disappointed," "we are committed to customer service," or similar generic comments. You had plenty of opportunities to make this right.

We came for a staycation which we are owners have a timeshare with Blue Green. We enjoyed our…read morelittle stay but one of those days we had to go talk to our timeshare staff which they wanted us to upgrade what we have. The guy did get upset because we didn't upgrade what they wanted us to, but that's all we could afford. The only thing I didn't liked is that they were pushy and come on. We already bought something and we can't upgrade and they get upset. But our room was cute like a small one bedroom apartment. We enjoyed our staying we walked around the whole resort. There's a lot of stuff to do. Just make sure you bring extra money. We are going back so we can enjoy other things that they have since we only stayed on the weekend. We were able to go to the adult pool and they were having a game where it was called name that tune it was fun. Got to meet other people and then that poor for adults only they had a bar. The guy was super friendly. We really enjoyed our time besides the guy who got mad at us for not upgrading our timeshare. We got a $75 gift card for buying a timeshare but the guy just gaved us the gift card and walked away and didn't say much to us after we refused to upgrade. Other than that resort was nice.

There are so many negative reviews that I was a little concerned. But our room was updated, clean, and everything was in working order. The pool was amazing, with a slide, and a huge hot tub. A lot of the negative reviews were about the owner updates, which we always opt out of. I will say that they called three times before our arrival to see if we would like to have an update while we were there. I said no, so eventually they got the hint. So I can see them being aggressive. I'm glad I didn't have to deal with that. The resort is beautiful, but there isn't much to do right around it. Most activities would require going to Phoenix which is about 40 mins away. Just keep that in mind when planning. We enjoyed our stay at this resort.

This year's girl's trip was a visit to the Omni. I'd never been to Scottsdale before, let alone…read moreleft the Phoenix airport so I wasn't quite sure what to expect. With it' stunning mountains, palm trees and ritzy houses, Scottsdale is gorgeous. Bonus points for only being about 20 minutes from the airport. The hotel itself is beautiful with a ton of common areas to enjoy the sunset and scenery. It was a little chilly so the number of outdoor fire pits were very much appreciated. I was put in a room in the 17the or 19th building. I got lost a couple of times as it gets quite dark and the property is a bit of a maze. My friends were closer to the entrance. My room was nice but I felt it needed a bit of an update. Unfortunately I didn't receive my member benefits. I think this is a good resort for meeting up with a group or family, though there were plenty of couples while we were there. I didn't pay a ton for our stay which was good because I didn't really consider it a luxury property. A few things to note: the convenience store is only open till 6pm so plan accordingly. They will take you in a golf cart to your room. The pool is heated in the winter. Uber only takes a few minutes to come get you.

The property is beautiful and the room is large. The bathroom was the best part for us with the giant shower and jacuzzi tub. We enjoyed renting the bikes they have on property and biked a 4 mile loop that was very scenic through the surrounding neighborhood. There are a ton of fire pits and we enjoyed making s'mores at night. The pool is heated which is helpful for this time of year. There are also 2 hot tubs on property. Right now it's decorated for Christmas which definitely added extra to our visit.

Real time update for JW Marriott @desertridge…read more 1. Here for our son's birthday, brought 2 of his friends and needed to pay $50.00 for an additional wristband as each reservation allows for 4. 2. Poolside chairs, mostly reserved for an additional charge. We inquired for 2 chairs as it's 2:00pm and service closes at 5:00pm. $175.00/chair with an additional $30.00/chair reservation fee's. We opted not to do this and am hoping to find available 'free' chairs provided with the resort fee. 3. Ice cream is another issue, 3 cups of Dippy Dots (picture attached) was $38.00, not including tip. It's a nice hotel but the cost to be at the hotel once you arrive is crazy... consider this before booking, I haven't ordered the prerequisite chicken fingers yet that come with every hotel stay. Again, 5 stars for the hotel/service and amenities but 3 stars for the value... averaged out to 4.

My son had a guest in town so I grabbed a ResortPass for the water park at JW. You do have to park…read morekind of far away but was glad to know they validate parking with the pass so it was actually free to park. We went in December and they had all the set up for the JW Jingle event with ice skating and inter tubing. There were plenty of photos ops! The entrance to the pool was locked and you needed a key card to get in. No worries there were tons of people so we just waited a minute and slipped in when someone came out. We checked in with our pass and found some seats near the hot tub. The kids went straight to the slides and I went to hot tub. It was nice but kind of small especially when the sun started to set it got really busy. The food and drinks are outrageously priced as you might expect at a resort. The food was surprisingly good though! I got a taco salad, my son got hot dog and fries and his friend got a turkey wrap. It was good but was too expensive. But hey when in Rome! The lazy river is the best. I could floated in that all day! All in all in was an expensive but enjoyable day at the JW.

The bathrooms are very clean and look newly remodeled with cute lights. I can't wait to go back and try out the other pools. I would say don't listen to people that haven't been there in a while because they've definitely done a lot to improve their facilities.

I'd give it a four, save there are situational problems…read more First, the grounds are cool, a nice calm place. There are several food trucks nearby. There are private tubs and a communal tub. Starts at $40/person, which is HIGH. High for the tepid 98F water temp. High for the incessant flies. The communal hot tub area is clean, and we felt safe. There are showers, and their restrooms are good, too. But the water wasn't even hot tub warm. And the flies could drive you crazy. I'd like to rate it higher, it's a cool, calm, and happy place with various types of tubs in the communal area, which is nude only. But for $40, I could sit in a river without the flies, downstream from view, nude, and be happier. There's lots of parking, fuel nearby, something to eat, but despite its proximity to Phoenix, they could buy some fly strips and heat the water.
