Casita #1095 lovely patio, but A/C and phone didn’t work. Had to move in the dark, but #1019 was a suite with large hot tub on private patio. Rooms are very musty smelling.
Outside appearance is well maintained, but inside units are very worn out. The focus is on the golf amenities. Beautiful landscaping.
Front desk, Matthew, was very accommodating.

What a beautiful place! I wish we had had more time to take advantage of the whole resort. The Bar had some great food options. My one complaint is that the villas are old and the ac unit was so loud. Other than that, we'd stay again.

Finding the casita was a bit of a challenge. There should be more signs around the property detailing where the casitas are with maps.

The room was "surface clean" but needed a deep cleaning. The baseboards were dirty and so was the bathtub mat. I needed a plug behind the bed stand, there was dirt and trash that had been there a long time. The ac/heating unit had a note aped to the thermostat to not lower it below 70 because it would freeze. It would kick on about every 30 mins and it sounded like a plane taking off over the bed. Kept waking me up. The staff was nice. The main bldg and golf course looked nice.

We had to move rooms twice because we needed two queen beds and they kept giving us a room with one king bed. The rooms are outdated and smell funky. The blanket at the end of our bed was visibly dirty. Yuck! We travel this way often and will never stay here again.

The girl at the front desk was very nice and helpful. She got us an early check in

We were really looking forward to this stay.
Parking was terrible. Had to make 3 trips up a long path, up and down hills in 109 degree weather to get our luggage, golf clubs, etc.
The split level room was different. The TV was very small and was up by the ceiling. It hurt our neck to look up from the lower level couch. From the bed area, we could not see or hear it because was at least 20 feet away.
You could see through the front door. The door was actually split in several places and the seal was awful. The AC unit was right behind the bed wall and very loud. It came on every 15 minutes the whole night keeping us awake. The heat just came right through the front door. There was no microwave. There was no Ice anywhere except in the restaurant. You had to take your Ice bucket and walk up and down the hilly terrain to get ice. But you had to make sure to get it before the restaurant closed at 9:00 PM. Then we had a cricket "chirping"at 11:00 pm. Found it 15 minutes later under the couch.
The Sidewinder golf course was average.
The driving range was small and only have mats to hit off of so no driver practice. No sand bottles, no rakes in the sand traps. They said if you land in a foot print or divot to just move your ball to a different spot in the trap. Really! They said it was because of COVID. Funny thing is that this was the only thing they were still doing from COVID. No masks, anywhere, no surface wipes, etc. Seems like they just didn't want to do the work.

Enjoyed the stay. Wished there was soap in the toilet room. No soap for the tub. No hot water just lukewarm. The iron couldn’t be used as it was sticking to my clothes.

The first room I received had no power. The A/C in the second room did not work.

The front desk guy Mathew was amazing and the whole point that me and my brother and sister had a reunion after 50 years from 23 and me finding my Brother and Sister after 50 years. We will never forget this wonderful place. We had the whole pool and hot tub pretty much to ourselves all day. And the staff everywhere was amazing!! We now want to every year for a reunion. Thank you so much for everything

The view was beautiful. Sparse rooms. Rained while we were there, but if a golfer, you may enjoy it.

Rooms were very outdated. The beds were terrible! So Uncomfortable and creaked if you moved. I have always wanted to stay at this "resort" but I was so disappointed that I would not recommend it to any more family members or friends.

We stayed here on our last night of a 6 day trip for my BFF's Bachelorette trip! We stayed in a Beautiful VRBO in Scottsdale with the gals she grew up with. I am from the area, so I decided to stay another day to meet up with my own child hood friends and my BFF wanted to meet them! Excited, we booked a hotel nearest to my home town but we wanted options to golf and river raft or find hiking fun in case they weren't available. We took an Uber to GCGR and when we arrived the two young gals that checked us in had no idea what hours the restaurant was open or if they were open at all. They didn't know where to get a menu but offered to make a copy when we do find one. We were immediately unimpressed. We finished check in. Luckily a women walking through the lobby saw &asked if we needed help! She was amazing! She gave us a menu and was well informed. She said it was her 5th day! She must have really paid attention in training because she was amazing! mark came and picked us girls up in a cart with all of our luggage and we headed back to the café where my friends form child hood trickled in. OH MY GOODNESS did we have fun! The restaurant staff were so patient and supportive and we tipped everyone as often as possible for being so accommodating. We closed the café down and stayed through their "lull" and stayed through dinner and closed it down from the outside patio where we watched the sunset and bonded with two little lovely ladies in their 80"s! What an amazing experience!

Very nice golf course. Decent rooms. Visited in the summer and only had a snack bar to eat. If you wanted a dinner had to leave the resort.
3.0
staff was friendly. this place is rough around the edges to say the least, not worthy of being called a “resort” restaurants not open until 10 am? 45 minutes to get service by the pool… once we got in (lock was broken),patio at my room was dusty full of cob webs and bugs
again. staff was friendly…

The grounds and environment of this hotel are what staying in Arizona is all about! The casitas are spacious with cute patio areas.
The pool area is very welcoming. They need more staff though. The decor of casita is not posh, but clean and comfortable. Views are gorgeous from many locations throughout grounds. We’ll stay here again!

Very outdated room.

We had a glitch as it was an expedia reservation but the front desk was friendly and assisted in getting us into a room. The room was spacious and had a beautiful view of the valley that was a little lower level than we were. Beautiful at night and great patio for morning. There is a trail right behind the hotel room. The room is clearly needing a refresh and update. The large tub in the room was outdated, there was not microwave, the bedding seemed out dated, the coffee pot was not working, there was a fireplace but no way to use it. However the hotel overall had great amenities. Although I didnt golf this time, the course is beautiful, there are 3 restaurants and a great spa. We had massages and our masseuses Christa and Jennifer were amazing. We will definitely go back.

Honestly the property is beautiful. The staff is friendly- excellent service. The downfall was the smell in the room. It was stale - not fresh.

Excellent setting in the mountains and cactus views with two golf courses wrapping around the resort
4.0
The area is very nice. But the property is dated, and it is beginning to show. The staff are polite but not suited to run this property as they are just part timers mostly and are not trained to handle a full scale resort property. They are looking for staff like everyone else, but sadly not for career staff, just cheap help wanted staff. At this property, you must have top notch people and the prices they are asking for ells me that they think they have a world class property here.

I was told that NO Expedia reservation existed. They also informed thst rooms were available for the night and they gave me a much lower rate than the Expedia quoted rate.
Someone dropped the ball!

Have lived in AZ for 20 years and never knew the resort existed. It is beautiful. Staff was friendly too. The room we had had a patio overlooking the golf course...it also had a fireplace. The room was huge. The only thing I would have liked better is if the room was updated...still the old wood, tile, and countertops from when the place was built. With just a little TLC, the place could even be more fabulous! I'd definitely stay here again and maybe check out the spa.

There was no daily maid service offered during covid which we actually appreciated. The grounds are beautiful. We relaxed on our private and quiet patio. The restaurant/bar was very loud as golfers come in for a beverage after their day on the greens. It would be nice to have a separate bar. There is an outdoor dining area, but it's best to wait till the sun starts to go down as it is mostly sunny and so we did that and it was really nice. We enjoyed all of the food and drinks that we ordered. The Kokopelli Dining Room remained closed during our stay. Our only downside, and this may be because of the current covid situation, is that the restaurants do not serve breakfast until 10am.

The room was awesome. Lots of space, not a cookie cuter room. Loved the walk in shower. Parking was a tight for our full size truck. Wish they had an ice machine.

Loved the property and the surroundings. What a great get away.

I was put in one of the farthest rooms in the farthest building. Parking was up a hill over 40 yards away. And I found out the hard way that there were not enough spots for all guests. So I ended up parking even further away. My room, indeed the whole resort is dated. In need of renovation. The furniture in my room had water damage and my mattress was old and in need of replacement.
