We have absolutely enjoyed this resort! I am a student at the UofA in Tucson. My family and I stayed here for a weekend while I moved into a new place. The resort was far more than we expected. After staying in numerous hotels/resorts in Tucson over 15 years, we can honestly say this is one of the best!

We booked two suite-sized rooms in Building 19 through the hotel website. We asked for adjoining rooms (one for the "kids" and one for the parents). We did not get Building 19 like requested but the resort put us in the next closest building and it still had stunning views of the Tucson valley. We were not unhappy!

The suite-sized rooms are a must at this resort. We saw some of the "posada" rooms by the pool and they looked like your typical "Motel 6" room. The negative reviews must have stayed in the posada rooms. The suite-sized rooms had HUGE bathrooms and sitting areas. Yes, the sofa and chair were a little out dated but still in good shape. Everything else in the room still looked new. The housekeeping staff does an excellent job at keeping things spotless, not just when you arrive but all throughout your stay.

The front desk staff was as helpful as one could be. A "trainee" took care of us and was pleasant to work with. The supervisor was right there helping if she got stuck on anything but it went very smoothly. One of our rooms wasn't ready when we checked in but we received the key to the other and brought us the key when the second room was ready. What service!! The only thing we had to ask for was some hand soap, as they forgot to provide us with any. We received a "right away" response and sure enough, it was there when we returned to the room.

We ate at both of the restaurants on site and both were excellent. The first night there we were all beat and didn't want to go out to eat so we went to the "Lookout Bar & Grill". This was far more than a typical bar and grill. The menu had things from shrimp penne pasta, ahi tuna, hamburgers, and salmon. The waitress was very sweet and got all of our orders right. She had a bunch of tables as there was a conference in town that weekend but she never forgot about us. The food was the best we'd had at any resort. Very flavorful. The "Gold Room" is the resorts better restaurant but we only ate there for breakfast and couldn't compare it to the Lookout Bar & Grill. The service in the Gold Room was superb and the food was what you'd expect for a breakfast but with different twists. We even had room service one night after a long day of moving, and it was delicious. The club sandwich and the spinach-artichoke dip is the best.

When checking out we spoke with the front desk clerk about their rates during winter/graudation time. He says the book early so get your reservation in. Also the rates in winter rise to 200-300 per night...but with this resort, it is well worth the cost. Give this place a try and you won't be disappointed! Feel free to contact me through TripAdvisor if you have any questions!!

We had booked two upper floor rooms. Confirmed ahead of time. The day of the stay we called to inquire about an early check-in and they told us that they had a reservation for only one room. We were informed that they would not have another room available and that they were full. My friend and I had a spa appointment that we kept in hopes that a room would become available. It did not. My husband and I stayed in the one room as we were from out of town and would not have another chance to stay. Our friend, who lives in Tucson went home. The room we got was downstairs with a very dank entrance. The furniture was badly stained and there was a hole in the wall. The bed spread had "stuff" on the underside of it. Don't know what it was. My husband went to the resort bar for a cocktail and when he walked onto the patio area he was informed that he could not be there as it was part of the resort restaurant. Our dinner there was fair except for the long wait for our meal and the appetizer plates were left on the table for the entire meal. The staff bordered on rude. Worst stay I have ever had.

My wife and I stayed here early March 2006 and had a great time. The rooms were quite spacious and well-appointed. The grounds were quite lovely and well-insulated from the increasing urban sprawl of Tucson. The staff was quite pleasant and helpful and there is quite a bit to do in the area. We ate at the resort restaurant for most breakfasts and for one dinner -- it was pleasant enough and, while there are better restaurants in the immediate area, staying on the site had its charms.

But be sure to visit Frost's Gelato shop, in a shopping center nearby: great stuff! Who knew that some of the best gelato to be had in the US is in a shopping center built in a desert?

Stayed at the Westward Look for three nights in July 06. We paid extra for the more expensive rooms and it was worth it. The rooms were huge with a fantastic comfy bed. We overlooked the desert and mountains. The resort is down a long driveway and the grounds are beautiful.
We found the resort peaceful, well kept and very clean.

If i could criticise anything it is the more relaxed bar/grill. it is a sports bar and can be noisy. Also the food is there is quite basic - burgers, sandwiches etc but it is fine for a snack or light meal. We didn't use the other 'Gold Room' restuaurant at night (only for breakfast) but we heard from other guests that it was good.

The resort has 2 nice leisure pools and a lap pool. We liked the pool that was away from the main lobby and bar. There was never anyone there!!

I think this is a great hotel for the money we paid. I know it was off season (I'm sure it is alot more in peak season) but overall I would recommend this hotel to anyone.
