Pointe Hilton Squaw Peak Resort

At the foot of the Phoenix Mountains, this lushly landscaped resort makes a big splash with its 4-acre Hole-in-the-Wall River Ranch aquatic playground, which features a tubing "river," water slide, waterfall, sports pool, and lagoon pool. This pool area alone would make this resort a great spot for a family vacation, but there are also children's programs. The resort is done in the Spanish villa style, and most of the accommodations are large two-room suites. For a family vacation, this place is hard to beat. However, I prefer the nearby Pointe Hilton Tapatio Cliffs Resort for its dramatic hillside setting and location adjacent to the hiking trails of the North Mountain Recreation Area.
