Has anyone been recently? How does it compare to other Arizona properties? What restaurants do you recommend in the area. Any help would be appreciated.

I live in Phoenix and have been to the resort twice since it opened. STRENGTHS: Close to airport, unique Native American character, showcasing Pima & Maricopa tribes (it is situated right on their reservation), cool "rambling river" feature to swimming pool, equestrian center, launch boat rides to/from nearby Indian casino, interesting spa with Native American-influenced treatments, Kai Restaurant operated by famed Tucson chef Janos Wilder. WEAKNESSES: It is out by itself, but that's not a problem if you have a rental car and don't mind driving to get places, VERY new landscaping making it seem like there's alot of dirt and gravel.

thank you. Anybody else?

Has anyone else been here since August? Will be there week of April 4 with family.
Thanks for any input!

I had a wonderful stay in September, even though it was 100 degrees.


Dinner at Kai was first class; the chef introduced himself to us. The pool was huge with a great waterslide. Lots of activities including horseback riding. The grounds are gorgeous. The spa is beautiful; thick robes and quite soothing. There is an adult pool over there. Take advantage of happy hour for a half price lunch and drinks. We nver made it to the casino.

The regular restaurant was good, usual hotel fare, but not great. I wished they had a coffee bar/quick cafe type place, as Andrew noted, it is far out. There is no place to pick up a muffin and coffee and enjoy the wonderful views. The two double bed rooms were a little on the small side, but the huge bathroom made up for it.

I have never been to other Phoenix area resorts, so I have no comparison there. But it is a lovely resort overall.

Thanks Kindra! Looking forward to our visit.

It is a beautiful resort. It is located on Native American land and there is NOTHING nearby. Other resorts in Phoenix and Scottsdale have access to shopping and other restaurants. If you have a rental car and don't mind driving then you will be happy at the Sheraton.

Looking forward to doing nothing, but we do have a rental car so we will be able to leave property if we want. Only there for 4 nights. 3 nights prior will be spent attending friends'wedding festivities in Sedona. Might drive down to Tucson one day from Sheraton.

My partner and I are thinking of staying here for our honeymoon the first week of December. Will it be romantic enough? Anyone know whether it will be gay-friendly? Thanks for any help.
