Frommer's Review

Set amid a jumble of giant boulders 45 minutes north of Old Town Scottsdale, this was the first luxury golf resort in the north Valley's rugged foothills. The adobe buildings blend unobtrusively into the desert, and the two golf courses epitomize the desert golf course experience. When not golfing, you can lounge around the small pool, play tennis, relax at the resort's Golden Door Spa, or try your hand at rock climbing. The lobby is in a Santa Fe-style building with tree-trunk pillars and a flagstone floor, and the guest rooms continue the pueblo styling with stucco walls, beehive fireplaces, and beamed ceilings. For the best views, ask for one of the second-floor units. Bathrooms are large and luxuriously appointed, with tubs for two and separate showers. In addition to the resort's restaurants, there are several other dining options at adjacent el Pedregal, Shops & Dining. A complete renovation of the rooms here is scheduled to be finished in early 2008.

Facilities: 6 restaurants (regional American, Southwestern, Mexican, spa cuisine, bakery/deli); lounge; 4 pools; 2 18-hole golf courses; 8 tennis courts; exercise room; full-service spa; 3 Jacuzzis; bike rentals; concierge; business center; shopping arcade; room service; massage; babysitting; laundry service; dry cleaning; rock climbing.
