Fodor's Expert Review JW Marriott Desert Ridge Resort & Spa

5350 E. Marriott Dr., Phoenix, Arizona, 85054, USA

Arizona's largest resort has an immense entryway with floor-to-ceiling windows that allow the sandstone lobby, the Sonoran Desert, and the resort's amazing water features to meld together perfectly. This sprawling and busy property includes 4 acres of water fun with a popular "lazy river," where you can float the day away on an inner tube. Young 'uns love the kids' program, while adults can rejuvenate at Revive Spa or tee off at the on-site golf courses. Each elegantly decorated room has a balcony or patio.
