The resort has multiple restaurants to choose from, but for a sophisticated dining experience, indulge your palate at Deseo, the resort's premier eatery.
Frommer's "A slew of events each day—from desert-animal demonstrations to a bagpiper at sunset—give the place a lively vibe...guest rooms all have balconies or patios" Full review
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"
