The Pool at The Canyon Suites at The Phoenician, a Luxury Collection Resort, Scottsdale

"There are splashing areas for kids, including a 165-foot water slide, and plenty of privacy for adults in the adult-only pools and cabanas"

"There’s an audio guided tour of the resort’s $25 million art collection, a brochure and self-guided tour of the two-acre cactus gardens, daily free wine and cheese tastings, loaner bikes, a family activity center with games, video games and even a movie theater, and nine pools — two shaped like grand pianos — plus a 165-foot water slide and cabanas"

"The Centre for Well Being spa has a meditation atrium and a pool lined with mother-of-pearl tiles"

"A "world-class" landmark resort, this Downtown/Old Town Scottsdale "luxury refuge" occupies a "remarkable setting" at the base of Camelback Mountain and features "spectacular" grounds boasting "magnificent" swimming pools and fountains, "superb" restaurants, a championship golf course and a spa offering "wonderful" treatments; the "beautiful" accommodations have Italian marble bathrooms and "huge" private balconies or terraces, and everything's overseen by a "polite", "attentive" staff"

"” A 250-acre “country club–like resort” at the base of Camelback Mountain in the Sonoran Desert, it has 9 pools where staff serve mai tais and mojitos, 11 tennis courts, and three 9-hole golf courses"

"The pool and golf course are the two hot spots here, but other areas of Canyon Suites are elegant inside and out"

"Second-floor units suffer from only minor soundproofing issues and offer the best views, which take in either the golf course and the city, or the pool and mountains"

"With the exception of one unit, these all afford private plunge pools and exclusive use of a personal golf cart"
