Hilton Phoenix Tapatio Cliffs Resort
I truly loved this property—it gave me strong Italy vibes. The adults-only section was especially enjoyable: elegant, and very relaxing. This is definitely one of my favorite Hilton hotels, and the restaurants on-site are outstanding.”

Hilton Phoenix Resort at the Peak
Arizona Grand Resort & Spa
Our room was clean, nice amenities, pool next to our room was dirty with debris and people left trash in the pool. No complimentary breakfast, no microwave in room. Water park was fun but if you want food or drinks prepare for the high amount it will cost you.
