The resort has multiple restaurants to choose from, but for a sophisticated dining experience, indulge your palate at Deseo, the resort's premier eatery.

Travel + Leisure "The Sonoran Desert is a geographical wonder, dotted with mighty saguaro cacti, but if you’re here in the hotter months, you might need the lazy river (and gigantic waterslide) at The Westin Kierland Resort & Spa to you cool down after a desert excursion"

Although they cost a bit extra, the pool-view rooms are worth requesting.
Gayot "Although...on busy Scottsdale Road, 22 acres of beautifully landscaped grounds do a good job of blocking out traffic noise. Spacious, well-furnished rooms have private balconies or patios."
Star Service "Visually arresting, the two-story resort has a porte cochere marked by a life-sized bronze statue of galloping horses. " Full review
