    The staff was so kind, attentive and welcoming! We don't often stay at resorts, but when we checked in they immediately offered us a glass of sparkling rosè. The faciliities were beautiful! It was the end of August in Phoenix and the temp hovered around 103 during our stay. They had valet staff at the ready to cart guests anywhere on property due to the heat.

    Salon services were very average; paying for the on-site amenities is expected; sharing with so many non-guests is not - especially when it becomes crowded.

    Location and facility is wonderful; the staff were fantastic - as before; but the new ownership lacks attention to details.

    Nothing that the resort could change due to weather. If I had any complaint at all, it was just that my massage was not very good for the cost. My wife's however, she said was absolutely amazing. Just depends on your luck of the draw on who you get I suppose!

    This was our first time at this resort and it was astonishing how beautiful the property was. The room we booked was incredible and the layout was perfect! If not for the 118 degree temps we'd have explored much more of the resort! The spa was very nice, my wife said she had a great time during her treatment and the infinity pool was so great!

    The bell boys understand service so much better than the front desk. Bathroom hair - not my own - is a no no

    Xanadu nestled beneath the magical Camelback mountains. It doesn’t get much better besides an orchestra playing the above ‘X’ theme or La Boheme for the purists. Generous sized and well appointed rooms and suites. Everything supplied for the exercise aficionado before cocktails and solids around the infinity pool

    i think that your pool staff at times forgot things (water) (drinks)and never picked up your lunch order so birds were constantly trying to grab at the left overs.

    The grounds are really beautiful and the rooms spacious. The pool was perfect temp and most of the staff were helpful.

    This place should be fantastic, but it is simply very average at the moment. Cheap sunbeams by the pool, broken floaters, unstylish railings, tiles coming off the pool. And most importantly, a major fire hazard having the fire literally burning the tree. That is plain stupid, with all due respect.

    The staff were fantastic.

    It’s an older resort and it wasn’t as luxurious as I thought it might be. Our property is nicer than the resort so we felt like it wasn’t worth getting away for the price. A spa day might have been a better idea for us

    We enjoyed the fact that the resort was close to home. Therefore making it easy to get there and back.

    For the price, this property is definitely not worth it. Rooms need an upgrade. This was my second trip to Scottsdale and for the cost I’d much rather stay at the Omni.

    The pool is great. The food and drink service was fast and the pool attendants were wonderful and accommodating.
