Arizona Grand Resort

Frommer's Review

This sprawling resort abuts the 17,000-acre South Mountain Park and is one of the best choices in the Valley for families. If I were a 12-year-old, I would beg my parents to stay here and spend every day playing in the wave pool, tubing "river," twisty water slide, and two free-fall-style water slides. Stables at the resort allow you and the kids to ride into the sunset on South Mountain, and there are numerous children's programs. The guest rooms, all suites, feature contemporary Southwestern furnishings and lots of space. Rustler's Rooste, the resort's fun cowboy steakhouse, serves rattlesnake appetizers and is a favorite with families.

Facilities: 6 restaurants (steakhouse, Mexican, Southwestern, international); 3 lounges; 6 outdoor pools (including 7-acre water park); 18-hole golf course; racquetball court; health club; full-service spa; 9 Jacuzzis; bike rentals; children's programs; concierge; business center; room service; massage; babysitting; coin-op laundry; laundry service; dry cleaning; executive-level rooms; horseback riding.
