Spent 2 nights here recently for a work retreat (with families) and it was fun for all ages. The outdoor seating area is spacious, comfortable and great place to socialize with friends. The pools and lazy river provided daytime entertainment for all - the taco bar in the pool area was great for a quick and inexpensive bite. Have to... More

This hotel was beautiful and everyone was beyond nice. Of course I figured this would be the case. We traveled with our son who is 5 years old and he loved the water park, pools. There is also a place at the hotel called Family Escape that has movies and games for kids. And if you like you can drop... More

I spent 4 days here at a conference in mid May. I was expecting something with a bit more granduer, but I will say the place does grow on you. The room was spacious, immaculately clean and quite comfortable. The seating areas in and around the gargantuan lobby and accompanying area just outside are probably the best the hotel has... More

We spent Spring Break at the JW Marriott Desert Ridge. We are normally travelling without children and like pretty upscale hotels. I researched for a very long time to try to find something that was a mix of a nice hotel that was family friendly. This place fit that bill perfectly. The room was a very good size with a... More

This hotel is a resort with amazing amenities for every person, any age. There are amazing golf courses with gorgeous views, tennis courts, a wonderful spa, a great workout facility as well as several pools and outdoor hot tubs that are open day and night. The lazy river pool is pure relaxation! More

We got 2 rooms here as my MIL was traveling with our family (which includes a 1 and 4y.o.). Although we would have liked adjacent rooms ours were one room apart which was fine. overall we had a great vacation and would return here. Pros: The staff at the front desk were lovely and gave us some bouncy balls for... More

This property has it all! Grassy play areas, the Lazy River to leisurely float down with beverage in hand, water slide, fountains, Kids's Club, beautiful gardens, Starbuck's, golf, spa, shopping, multiple restaurants, grills and bars, and the private Griffin Club (pay extra) with 5 food/drink services per day. Every member of the staff was over-the-top friendly. Presidential suite is large... More

I travel for work and often get to stay at this hotel. It is a great place to unwind after a day at the office, and also has many things for you to do during the day if all of the conference calls are at night. Lots of "outside" choices nearby as well - large mall across the street with... More

Staff friendly and helpful. Rooms clean, fresh, housekeeping ok but inconsistent with refreshing rooms(i.e 4 towels but no washcloths). Food: made to order sushi, nice wine list, fresh selections. Great outside seating with live music in the evening. Rooms are far from the meeting space-don't forget anything, it is a 10 minute walk back to your room. Beautiful landscaping-there were... More
