    We spent some time at Marriott's Desert Ridge Resort for a business conference. It was such a relaxing three days!

    As you pull up, valets are waiting to assist you. Inside, an expansive lobby awaits as you check in. Then take the escalator to a second tier seating area below(picture 3) where comfortable leather chairs and couches are located.

    I thought their dining choices were extensive:

    Ristorante Tuscany (Italian/ dinner)
    Blue Sage Restaurant and Marketplace (Southwestern/breakfast,lunch & dinner)
    Just A Splash Bar & Grill (American-open for lunch)
    Roy's Hawaiian Fusion Cuisine (Fresh seafood and sushi/opened for dinner)
    Spa Bistro (International/breakfast & lunch)
    Starbucks Cafe (serving pastry and coffee/ breakfast and lunch items)
    Meritage Steakhouse at Wildfire Golf Club
    Vista Lounge-(lunch and dinner; martinis their specialty)

    There are 950 guest rooms, including 81 or so suites. The nicely appointed room provided down-filled pillows and luxurious bedding (picture 2). It offered cable/satellite tv, in-room movies, mini-bar, iron, ironing board and safe for our belongings. Some suites featured fireplaces, microwave ovens, and refrigerators. Room service is available to all guests.

    The spacious bathroom, held spray jets, separate tub and shower and hair dryer. Fluffy white bathrobes were tucked away in the closet!

    The concierge desk was ever busy booking sightseeing tours. A full-service business center and safety deposit boxes at the front desk are available.

    Outdoors, a swimming pool (picture 4), lazy river (picture 5) and jacuzzi. Other activities were a biking trail, jogging and fitness trail; a nature preserve trail; hiking, sauna and tennis.

    The resort had two fitness facilities: The Revive Spa and Fitness Center. I think golfers would find the Wildfire Golf Club especially nice. This hotel had everything it takes to make your stay a pampered and delightful one!

  • We stayed at the Canyon Villas which is the adjoining property to the JW Marriott. (time share owner) We were able to use all facilities at the JW at no additional cost. It is a beautiful hotel! Four excellent restaurants on the property. The vallet service is quick and friendly and the concierge service is wonderful. The pools are beautiful and well kept, and the lazy river pool is heavenly. You just grab a raft and float around. Lots of sunny spots and shaded areas to relax.

    I have not seen another pool like the Lazy River before. Jets get the water flowing so all you do is lay on a raft or in a tube and it pushes you along. AHHHHHHHHH..........

    Nothing short of fantastic according to my wife. I was in meetings the whole time, but did spend a few minutes walking around taking some pictures...

    The Spa, according to everyone I talked to that participated, is wonderful. The grounds are an ecosystem unto themselves and the golf course is well recommended.

    The pool(s) (yes multiple) go on forever....

    GREAT!!!
    I loved the grouds....utilizing natural desert colors of tan, yellow-brown, greens...

    sculpted waterfalls....

    river-shaped swimming pools...

    combining modern architecture with a natural harsh environment...

    nice rooms, beautiful interior, tasty foods, GREAT SERVICE!

    The views are of the scraggly rock hills and saguaro cactus'es native to this environment.

    The pools are river-shaped and terraced, with waterfalls...not just your usual square pool!

    golf courses

    a luxurious spa and spa-shop

    botanical gardens

    mix of all elements, natural and man made

    *** for valentines day, the restaurants were filled....my fiancee and I dined on room service- candle-lit, on our private balcony. The maid service left us choclates, and best of all, our room was strewn with rose petals.....romantic as can be!****

    Everything was first class from; the rooms, the food, the grounds, the spa, the golf... ahhh the golf. Can't say a bad word about my entire stay.

    I recommend Roy's Restaraunt with the strongest words possible. At the risk of getting in Trouble as for Henry if you want service the way it used to be. If you happen to enjoy cigars, bring them along and after you enjoy a 5 star dinner, let your server know you would like to enjoy your cigars on the patio with a glass of port and when you are ready so will your table complete with glasses of port, wooden matches and large cigar ashtrays. Under the wonderful Phoenix sunset, life doesn't get any better.
