Tucson hotels - Water Park?
 
Just wondering if any of the hotels in Tucson have water parks. Stayed at Hilton Pointe - Squaw Peak in Phoenix last spring break & loved it, wondering if there is anything similar in Tucson.
Thanks,
Betsy

Westin LaPaloma has really nice pool area with some slides etc. However, when we stayed there for 1 night last year..the rooms were very tired and in need of updating. I would ask first if they infact did update and be sure to stay in one of those rooms.

It was in a good location for restaurants etc.

I just wanted to add that a lazy river is what we would really like the most.

Debi - thanks for the info, their rates seem so high!! But maybe that's the best we can do??

No lazy river at LaPaloma. I got a decent price for the one night [it wasJuly] but they do charge a "resort fee" We were there for less than 12 hours [we needed a place to stay before we checked in to JW Marriott Starr Pass. I actually wrote an email using contact us on Westin website and got a reply and a refund of the resort fee. I felt that the things the fee covered were not things one would use while there for such a short stay. Apparently the GM at the hotel agreed and not only refunded the fee but gave us a comp nights stay should go there again. [Haven't]

We loved the Starrs Pass. It is a bit out of town, which some people don't like. We are used to driving a short ways to go to sites and restaurants, so we didn't mind.

It is on the western part of town and the pool and patios face east towards the mountains -- very scenic.

Great restaurants, lovely rooms and a fun tradition of a free shot of tequilia at sunset - a different kind each night - while someone recites a tale of long ago.

Here's my trip report:
