“Absolutely brilliant!!!!!!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed December 2, 2012

August 2012, me and my family and grandparents came for 3 weeks driving around Nevada and Arizona. Our time in Scottsdale was brilliant, the staff were very friendly and professional. The pool is fantastic including the waterfall and the fabulous whirlpool jacuzzi. The atmosphere was great, it felt very friendly and classy. Even the pool side bar serves delicious food and refreshing drinks. Pool sports and games were also wonderful to get involved with. Suitable for families or couples. I particularly enjoyed the movie night as it was a new experience that I loved! The rooms are big and spacious, modern and comfortable. Fab jacuzzi and full kitchen, flat screen TV that we watched our 'Team GB' on as the Olympics was on. Nice double shower too :) We visited places such as Tombstone, Rawhide and best of all, Grand Canyon. Sheraton Desert Oasis was a great base and 5 star worthy. Thank you for an amazing holiday!! :D

“Tough location if you don't have a car.”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed November 27, 2012

Ok property. Not upscale at all. On par with a Hampton Inn, except you get a kitchen and washer dryer.
You must have a car to stay here. No food/shopping for 2 miles min. So you'd walk a lot without a car.
Bring your key everywhere, pool/gym always locked.
Not a lot of sun at pool so chairs in sun go fast.
Not much storage in small 1 bedroom, so be prepared to live out of your suitcase.

Dear Nikki B,

Thank you for your comments. We certainly value all feedback we receive from guests.

I apologize that your stay did not meet some of your expectations, especially with regards to the location. Although we are situated in a very desirable and convenient location near the Scottsdale Corridor, we do understand that the wide selection of dining, entertainment, shopping, and recreation options are around 2 miles away and can be difficult to reach without a car.

We do offer a grocery shuttle conducted by our resort at a certain time, and there are many options for taxicabs in the area, of which our front desk or concierge staff can arrange.

In terms of the pool area and fitness center, we do keep them locked for safety reasons.

Again, we thank you for being our guest. If we can ever be of further assistance, please don’t hesitate to let us know.

Warmly,

SDOManager

“Small but intimate”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed November 22, 2012

Although this time share resort is a bit small compare to other Starwood resorts, it is well maintained. The mattress on the other hand was old and uncomfortable. The support was weak and you sink into the mattress. The staff provided impeccable service through out our stay, we especially enjoyed the free continental breakfast provided by the activity vendors. Most activities were centrally located by the pool and the club house. It felt very intimate, unlike other big resorts where too many things happening in too many different locations. There were abundance of restaurants and supermarket close by for your shopping needs.

“Sheraton Desert Oasis”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed November 19, 2012

We've stayed here twice as a vacation exchange with Interval I. I was an artist participant at the Tempe Festival of the Arts in Fall and Spring. To say the least I was disappointed that I was unable to book this facility again on my current stay. I rarely use superlatives to describe a location but this place is well deserved. We had a wonderful suite on our last visit with a nice jacuzzi tub in the room. The accommodations and location couldn't have been nicer! Look forward to staying there again some time soon.

Room Tip: Request a suite, they have a more roomy floor plan. We did not make use of room service or the spa f...
