It does not work if you are attending a convention at their other hotel the JW Marriot Dessert Ridge and Spa facility. This place is family focused for a vacation, not work. The price discounts are still double a normal room rate of a respectable hotel.

Spent last week at this wonderful location. Weather was great as was the Resort. We have stayed at almost all of Marriott Resorts and this is in the top three. Marriott just knows how to do it... We used this as our base of operation and visited Tucson and the West Rim of the Grand Canyon. We worn ourselves out... More

We're a mature couple, travelling as a couple, which may be why we felt the Villas were -overpopulated- with young children-- great for them! Seemed like the perfect place for families. (We had the option of using the JW Marriott pool.) No shortage of great Golfing opportunities! The Musical Instrument Museum had us entertained/amused for HOURs-- we highly recommend/visit them...

We spend about six weeks each year here and it remains an excellent resort. The management who we have gotten to know as well as folks around the pool..maintenance people etc are all very friendly and make our stay very pleasant. It is well located and convenient to the J.W.

I checked in her 2 days ago and it's been GREAT ever since! I arrived late the night before my check in and stayed at a Courtyard Marriott near the airport. I called Canyon Villas the morning of my check in to see if they could call me when my room was ready so I might possibly get in earlier... More

The room was very comfortable and clean. The location couldn't have been more perfect for nightlife and shopping. The main pool was always crowded with families and had a party type atmosphere. There is a also small quiet pool that was less crowded but can't swim in it because it is too shallow. I was happy with the service at... More

This place had great rooms, spacious, so we could spread out. The kitchen was a little small and had just the barest of essentials, it enough to get you by. I loved that they had grills and fire pits throughout the property. We grilled dinner three nights. The grills can get busy so you may want to grill at slightly... More

We stayed here two years ago. We bought that week through our holiday club, linked to our Malta time share. We were asked to attend a presentsion for the Time Share, this complex is linked with. We did not feel, we could buy into the holiday Time share, two years ago being from UK too long a flight. We did... More

We are Marriott Vacation Club owners and exchanged our Palm Desert villa for Canyon Villas. What we like: 1) Even though it is a the north end of Scottsdale/Phoenix, the location is super with easy access off the 101. 2) The weather is a few degrees cooler than central Phoenix/Scottsdale 3) We stay in a studio villa which is great...
