Talking Stick Resort
My wife really enjoyed the different pools. The cold water pool with the sun out. And the west pool had some shade to enjoy also. The patio was nice on the 2nd floor to view the west and enjoy coffee in the morning.

Hilton Phoenix Resort at the Peak
Clean room, helpful kind staff, pool area under construction for new additions, though we enjoyed the lazy River 2 days. It’s not upscale, good family resort though. Enjoyed good drinks and nachos at pool.
