“Easter? Please know this...”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 8 February 2012
3
people found this review helpful

I delayed by close to a year, my review of the Arizona Biltmore, because my observations are seriously based on the Easter week/weekend. I am going to tell you what the hotel did NOT tell me, that they should have: An enormous group books almost the entire property for a "Passover VIP" event (apparently many many years running). The issue for any innocent individual family is the following: 100% of the cabanas are booked by this group. So, during your entire stya, even if you wanted to spring the $200 plus (we did) for a cabana, it is not an option; the stunning main grounds on the interior of the property are set up for this group. So, if you want to have a drink, you won't be overlooking the gardens and walkways, you will be overlooking a group that is probably close to 800 people. The group I had no issue with: families enjoying their time as a group. But the "full and fair" use of the Biltmore I have a huge issue with. We didn't get to use many many of the amenities because of such a large group. A small (honestly maybe 10-15 families) group of us just sat shell-shocked by the pool because the resort was clearly scrambling to deal with their biggest paying customer of the weekend. Fair enough. But when we made the reservation, I can't imagine why they wouldn't have said "Full disclosure...we have an enormous group here Easter weekend every year. No cabanas will be available during your stay, and most of the chairs by the main pool will be reserved (in advance) by this group.

The tiny upside: this group ate all of their meals in the various banquet facilites, so all the restaurants (except for by the pool) were very serene.

We probably won't return (and certainly not at Easter).

Just a friendly heads-up that you won't get from the resort itself.

“A Paradise!!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 8 February 2012

Truly an amazing resort. Every nook and cranny is a work of art. The architecture is amazing and while it may be daunting at first since it is heavy on the concrete, even non-fans of Frank Lloyd Wright can appreciate it. The main pool is amazing, and the lights and fire at night create quite an ambiance. Will 100% go back and will recommend.

Room Tip: There are regular rooms and larger cottages.

“Launch pad”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 7 February 2012

We stayed here for one night - just before we left for a three-week trip to Greece. Nice place to stay just before a long flight. Lovely hotel and grounds. Helpful staff and decent restaurants and bar. Drinks a bit pricey, but it goes with the territory I suppose. Would gladly stay here again. Its a one time must hotel if you've never stayed here before. A Phoenix icon, and if you dig Frank Wright's architecture, you'll like it even more.

“Nice Escape”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 5 February 2012

We escaped for Xmas weekend 2011. Nice rooms, and very elegant property overall. As you might expect everything is very expensive on site (.ie Starbucks coffe is about 80% more than in real world). Loved the golf courses (2). Not desert courses - more like a nice "Munies" with forgiving fairways. Links course wraps around the entire property. Pool area is first class with separate pool for kids with giant water slide. Not too busy given it was Xmas and a bit chilly. Close to massive shopping mall.

Room Tip: Ask if the room has recently been upgraded.

“Nice Resort”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 1 February 2012
5
people found this review helpful

My husband and I just spent 3 nights at the Arizona Biltomore where he was attending a conference. Our room was spacious and newly renovated. We had a king-sized bed, large TV and 2 sinks in the bathroom. We had a patio that overlooked one of the pools. The linens were lovely and the bed was comfortable, although a bit too soft for my liking. There was a clock radio that was also an iPod docking station which was nice. The room had a typical mini bar with overpriced items, but that was to be expected. Instead of a coffee maker there was a hot pot and French press.

The food and service were good. Drinks were overpriced we thought. There were many places where groups could sit and chat, inside and out. A few areas had large gas fire pits which were nice during the cool evenings.

This facility felt more like a business conference center than a resort hotel. There were two or three conferences going on most of the guests seemed to be involved in one of those. The pools were fairly deserted, I never saw anyone playing tennis and there were very few children. I rented a bike for an hour one day and rode along the canal. All I saw were the backs of some very uninteresting houses. There didn't seem to be any interesting places nearby to ride to.

My husband loves this place -- probably because he usually has meetings in office buldings or boring conference centers. For him it was a real treat to spend three days in such a lovely setting. I think everyone in his group felt the same way because they all decided to hold their conference there again next year.

Room Tip: Ask for a newly renovated room.
