The Four Seasons Scottsdale isn't just a hotel -- it's a desert mirage that actually exists…read more Built in the late 1990s, when developers decided golf courses and luxury spas could bloom where only rattlesnakes and saguaros once stood, this resort is proof that money waters everything. Think adobe chic meets spa catalog. Casitas sprawl across the Sonoran landscape like they were dropped from a helicopter and told to blend in. Inside, everything is cooled, cushioned, and curated -- a million miles away from the fact you're technically in the middle of nowhere. Step outside your casita and there's a saguaro cactus giving you the side-eye, wondering why you're paying $25 for avocado toast when it grows for free right next to you. The pool is basically an oasis, complete with cabanas that make you forget Scottsdale is basically Phoenix in a nicer shirt. The spa? You'll get massaged, exfoliated, and moisturized until you feel like a well-polished golf ball. And of course, Troon North golf course looms in the background -- a lush green playground carved out of desert that makes golfers weep with joy and water conservationists weep with rage. This is the Four Seasons -- you could walk in dressed like a hungover rodeo clown and they'd still treat you like visiting royalty (we were). Staff float around like desert ninjas, topping off your drinks, folding your towels, and politely ignoring your questionable SPF choices. The poolside margaritas are $22, but don't worry -- they come with a complimentary identity crisis. Four Seasons Scottsdale isn't hospitality, it's hostility against your bank account. (because let's face it, you're not here to save money, you're here to buy bragging rights). The Four Seasons Resort Scottsdale is above average, over the top, and exactly what happens when luxury colonizes the desert and wins. Funny thing is, you'll leave broke but refreshed -- which is kind of the Four Seasons brand in a nutshell.

For almost a year, my boyfriend and I had been talking about visiting Grand Hyatt Scottsdale. We…read morewatch Next Level Chef featuring Richard Blais, who has two restaurants on this property - Tiki Taka and La Zozonna. This inspired a weekend stay for our one year anniversary of officially dating that falls on 4th of July. Upon arriving, there are both valet and self-parking. We chose self-parking, which ended up being $30/day and a $.50 fee for processing via the QR code on the receipt. I find this easier than the hassle of someone grabbing items, then bringing up. Though, you will have to wheel them through the parking lot so chose which works best for you. Our Room: - King Bed + sofa - 4th Floor (highest) - Pool view + balcony (very spacious and would book a pool view in the future again) - Balmain Paris shampoo, conditioner, shower gel, and lotion which were fabulous! Dining Options (separate reviews if dined there): - Two pool bars (H2Oasis and Sandbar) - Canyon Market - Mesa Centrale - Grand Vista Lounge - La Zazonna - Tiki Taka - Room Service: I believe this is serviced by Canyon Marketplace or Mesa Centrale. A bit pricey, but enjoyed a burger to our room one night. Actually ended up preferring that one to the one served at H2Oasis. 4th of July Fireworks: - Our room had a balcony on the fourth level, and ended up being perfect for fireworks as they shoot off from behind the pool. If your room is not situated to see, there is reserved spot for hotel guests, but we chose to view from our balcony. 4th of July Festivities: DJs, live music, games, curated menus, a bald eagle in the lobby, resort specific fireworks, and more! If you are looking for a destination for your next 4th of July, I'd highly recommend this! Pools: - Adults Only (our preferred as less busy and enjoyed H2Oasis) - Family Pool Over our two night stay, we had plenty of dining and activities that we didn't leave the property. We both throughly enjoyed, and it was hard to return home even though nothing beats cat snuggles. Love to return for another staycation and will be on the lookout for other events and activities that will draw me back.

Nice Resort, But Very Slow Cabana & Food Service…read more We recently spent Mother's Day at the pool with several families and rented three cabanas for the day. Each cabana included a bucket of drinks, and overall the property and pool area were very nice, which is why I'm giving 3 stars instead of less. Unfortunately, the service throughout the day fell short. We waited close to an hour before anyone checked on us at the cabanas or brought drinks, despite paying a premium price for the experience. Food service was also very slow, with long waits for basic orders. Our waiter was polite and apologetic once he finally arrived, but for a resort at this price point, especially on a busy holiday weekend, the service should have been much more organized and attentive.

Very easy review- the best dog park anywhere near me. I'm located in north Tempe. Chaparral dog…read morepark is in Scottsdale and it's about a 12 min drive for me. This is not the closest place for me to go but it's by far the best. 3 large fenced in dog park areas, many types of friendly and fun pooches will be there for your fur babies to play with. It's fun for me to see all the different types of breeds that come here. Most of the pups are well behaved. I've seen a couple times some negligent owners on their phones so spaced out, don't pick up their dogs poop or watch what their dogs are doing, but as far as dog parks go- it's the best for not having to stress that something negative will happen. I've been to other dog parks in the area that just had bad vibes. This one is nice and happy. It's as clean as a dog park can be, they do regular maintenance to the grounds, and there is a huge parking lot. It's also nice to walk the dogs in that area as well. My boys love it here and I'm happy to take them. Important to note- check the hours on certain days since they do the maintenance and close the parks. I've shown up a couple times forgetting about this and it was closed, so we just went for a nice walk instead.

This is for the pool only through resort pass…read more Booked a daybed on a holiday weekend. when we showed up, we were walked over to a nice corner bed facing the pool that was out of the sun. The staff was constantly around and friendly, and the service was quicker than expected. The fruit platter that came with the daybed was much better than we have received at other resorts with the add in, and the meal and drink cost was on par. What we really enjoyed was that the music was at a relaxing volume, we were given free drinks as the resort wanted all guests to get into the holiday. Having the day bed from 10-6 was more than enough...we used 5 or 6 of the hours. Will definitely come back! Two knocks/challenges - figuring out where the pool actually was posed a challenge. We ended up walking around the massive property for a bit as the front desk was busy when we walked in and there wasn't good signage. When we found the pool all the entrances are locked and need a key card. Fortunately a staff memeber had walked near the gate and let us in.

There's lots of fun spots to sit and relax, the pool is pretty large and offers lots of beach chairs.

Our room was charming and had lots of southwestern character which I loved, the kitchenette had a coffee maker, fridge and sink. Bathroom was so spacious!! Two sinks is a luxury for us, and the shower was big enough to not bump into each other. Parking was a bit of a challenge due to the event, but staff and visitors have been happy, kind and helpful.

With it' stunning mountains, palm trees and ritzy houses, Scottsdale is gorgeous. Bonus points for only being about 20 minutes from the airport. The hotel itself is beautiful with a ton of common areas to enjoy the sunset and scenery. It was a little chilly so the number of outdoor fire pits were very much appreciated. I was put in a room in the 17the or 19th building. I got lost a couple of times as it gets quite dark and the property is a bit of a maze. My friends were closer to the entrance. My room was nice but I felt it needed a bit of an update. Unfortunately I didn't receive my member benefits. I think this is a good resort for meeting up with a group or family, though there were plenty of couples while we were there. I didn't pay a ton for our stay which was good because I didn't really consider it a luxury property. A few things to note: the convenience store is only open till 6pm so plan accordingly. They will take you in a golf cart to your room. The pool is heated in the winter. Uber only takes a few minutes to come get you.

Overall, I would give the resort a 7 out of 10…read more The grounds were absolutely beautiful, and with the exception of one restaurant, the service throughout the resort was outstanding. Dining: TAQUERIA CENTRO -- 10 out of 10. The food and service were both exceptional. Manager Carlos did an outstanding job and was a true highlight of our stay. Prado -- 4 out of 10. We visited Prado twice during our stay. Our first visit was for breakfast -- the food was okay but noticeably overpriced for what was offered. Our second visit was a far worse experience. We were seated and waited 15 minutes without our server ever acknowledging us, so we got up and left. The service at this restaurant was consistently poor and the pricing did not reflect the quality or experience provided. Dining Options -- Room for Improvement. For a resort of this size and reputation, the dining options felt limited. We would strongly recommend adding at least one additional restaurant to give guests more variety. The snack and coffee shop, which could help fill that gap, closed far too early in the evening. Extending those hours would go a long way in improving the overall guest experience, particularly for those who want a light bite or a cup of coffee later in the day. The Room -- 6 out of 10. The room itself was nice, but there were several issues that fell well below the standard I would expect from a resort of this caliber. The bed was old and noticeably worn down, making for an uncomfortable night's sleep. To make matters worse, the comforter on the bed was torn and had visible holes in it -- something that should never make it into a guest room. We also struggled with the room temperature throughout the night and were unable to get it to cool down comfortably. A Bright Spot at Checkout: I spoke with Avery Williams, Director of Front Office, at checkout and she was genuinely outstanding. She was sincerely concerned about the issues we experienced and did everything she could to address them. She even followed up with an email after our departure, which was a very nice touch. Overall, I left feeling somewhat disappointed given the reputation of this resort. With a few improvements -- additional dining options, extended snack shop hours, updated room bedding and linens, and better temperature control -- along with a serious look at the service standards at Prado, this could easily be a 9 or 10 out of 10 experience.
