Check-in staff was exceptional. The rooms were well appointed. The hotel was clean and modern. The spa was large and of all the latest and greatest equipment. The grounds were well manicured and the lobby area thriving. The pools and lazy river are great for families. Great value for the price.

Beautiful resort. Impeccable service. Was there for a travel industry conference and the hotel staff was quite hospitable showing off their stuff, given the audience. But still very, very nice. I'm not a big Phoenix fan, but when you can settle into a beautiful property like this, it does not really matter where you are. Rooms are nicely furnished. Grounds... More

My fiancé and I spent a week at JW, and we're already making plans to go back in the future! The resort is nothing short of amazing, and was the perfect retreat for two busy young professionals who were looking for a relaxing week away in the sun. We were impressed with the food options at the resort, and there... More

We attended a business conference at this resort. The meeting rooms were away from the rooms, pools, activites, and resturants. That made it easy for the group to network without being in the way of other guests. The first night there was the annular eclipse. The resort provided a wonderful place to view the event for both conference attendees and... More

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!
