Scottsdale
 

Family of 4 (children 9 and 12) are planning summer trip to Scottsdale and vicinity. We will mix sight seeing and outdoor activiites with some relaxing around the hotel pool activitires. Therefore, I would be greatful if you could recommend a resort $150 to 225 per night range, nice gorounds and not isolated location. Is there such a place?

I vote for the Hyatt Regency at Gainey Ranch.<BR><BR>Spectacular!

The Hyatt is a great choice. I would check the Arizona listings in this forum and you'll get lots of suggestions.

The Sunburst Resort sounds just like what you are asking for. Nice grounds, nice pool and a great location, not far from Old Scottsdale or the Fashion Square Mall. The Desert Botanical Gardens are great!

Under $225 you can stay most anywhere during summer.<BR>I know the Biltmore has had great rates, and the Princess is available well within that range.<BR>No need to scrimp and go for anything less than the top resorts during summer. (Phoenician is doing pool work, so beware).
