“The BEST!!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed May 2, 2010

WE are owners here and at other Marriott Properties. This is the best by far. Right next door to the JW Marriott, Desert Ridge. We spent a lot of time at the JW using the pool etc. We also spent a lot of time t the pool at Canyon Villas and enjoyed that also. Great location. Convienent to all services and 30 min to the airport. Great Place. Highly reccomend

“Great Spot in Scottsdale Area”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed March 29, 2010

This Vacation club community is great. We spent a lot of time both at this property, and at the connected JW Marriott resort. It was an easy, and enjoyable walk. We stayed in a 1 bedroom with a Kitchen. There is an outdoor mall about a mile away - again very walkable with a stroller. Everything was in like new condition. We will definitely go back.

“Not for Business”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed March 20, 2010

I must confess I do not usually write on Trip Advisor, but feel a sense of obligation given the overwhelming positive reviews on this property. I do not recommend this property for business travelers. This is a Marriott Vacation Club resort and should not be confused with regular Marriott quality. This is not a place for business people.

The room I was was put into, at $409 per night, was an absolute disaster. small, cramped, tired carpeting, noisy and no desk. It was a "lock-off" of a main unit...nothing better then a small bedroom with functional bath. I was able (with much hassle) to move across the road to a much better room in the adjacent JW Marriott. At a lower rate...no contest.

Business Traveller Beware!

“Great Stay...Been Going for 5 Years”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed February 28, 2010

We love Canyon Villas! We have been owners for 5 years now and every year we go. We have thought about banking or trading in our weeks but every time we stay here, we love it.

The rooms are kept in great condition. They recently upgraded some rooms with flat screens, new carpet, new upholstery and paint.

What separates this property from other time shares is the staff. The pool bar staff is outstanding. Matt and Jonalynn provide the best service and always have a smile on their faces. Matt and Jonalynn make our stay in like we are staying with family. The service at the Canyon Villas pool bar exceeds that of the JW. We stopped going to the JW pool bar about 2 years ago.

The pool is great. The property also has a mini water park for kids, quiet pool, and steam sauna. The gym was recently upgraded with new cardio equipment. Each cardio equipment now has it own TV and iPod hook up.

Front desk staff great. Grounds are kept really clean and integrated with the "desert" environment.

We always visit the Revive spa at the JW and are always happy with the level of service and professionalism. The spa has great amenities such as wet and dry sauna, indoor jacuzzi, private indoor shower, semi-private outdoor showers, private outdoor sunning area in each gender's locker room.

Towels and robes provided. Locker room attendants are quick cleaning up making the locker room immaculate. The spa pool is very relaxing and food at the Spa Bistro is really good also. We had the blackened cod and it was very tasty.

We can't imagine a year without vacationing at Canyon Villas!
