Thanks to the atmosphere and accommodations, I could tolerate the conference. The staff is friendly, the rooms are clean coupled with great nightly entertainment ~ who could ask for more. My plan is to return and get an opportunity to see some of the sights off the resort. Had a great time and looking forward to my return trip. More

We stayed 12/8-11 and I don't know that I've ever had the extra special attention like I did at JW's Desert Ridge. We ate at all three restaurants and whether it was a well timed refill, a perfect suggestion or an incredibly gracious staff everything was beyond special. The same thing can be said at the front desk, especially when... More

I've stayed at the JW marriott in phoenix twice, and have a third time planned for business reasons. The property is nice - don't get me wrong, though it doesn't have a 5-star feeling, most likely due to it's immense size. If you are attending for a conference, be prepared to walk, and quite a distance sometimes. If it's the... More

My wife and I escaped a recent Rocky Mountain blizzard by spending a long weekend at the JW Desert Ridge Resort. Upon arrival, the lobby and grounds were a beautiful invitation to a relaxing weekend of luxury. At check in we had a delightful trainee who gave us an efficient and warm reception. Our room had a nice but somewhat... More

My husband and I splurged for this weekend getaway and it was worth it! The service was incredible, the food and drinks sublime. I only regret having to go back to reality and not being able to stay longer. Don't waste too much money on the breakfast buffet. (There is a Mimi's across the street.) Instead, have Prickly Pear Margaritas... More

This resort was chosen as a couple day layover from Hawaii to Maryland. My visit was end of January which was great because this is a resort kids would love. The lazy river and many pools to choose from. The service was great. If you workout you have to wait if your an early riser or come from the east.... More

This is by far one of the most beautiful JW Marriott Properties I have ever visited. The spa itself makes you feel as if you are in an aquarium -- the tile surrouding the building is a gorgeous sea blue - and the food on the menu is simply scrumptious. The hotel itself is dramatcially landscaped but still retains a... More

My husband really enjoyed this beautiful resort and its amenities. The staff was extremely nice as well. More

I stayed there 1/21-1/25 for business, and enjoyed the place immensly. The landscaping is beautiful, the restaurants are superb. My wife and I also went also to the Desert Botanical gardens, and hiked Camelback mtn. both of which are close. A huge shopping center with many restuarants are within 2 miles (less) which means convienance. I would recommend it. More
