Hilton Phoenix Resort at the Peak
Pools were good , bartender at lazy river was amazing. Overall property needs a little TLC but is in good shape . Wonderful if you have a family to visit here , for a romantic trip it’s ok also but only 1 onsite restaurant and the pool is great but I’m the kind of person who like to visit 1 maybe ...

Talking Stick Resort
Checkin took 45 minutes and we were the second one in line. Ordered salmon and smash patty melt from the coyote Catina - it was absolutely terrible ( soggy broccoli, tasteless rice and weird smell). Would not stay again, especially for $200 + a night and $100 in food.
