Does HotelsByCity recommend this hotel?
Families said this was a fabulous place to spend a vacation. The villas were fully equipped and the employees were incredibly friendly and helpful. Being able to use the facilities of the neighboring JW Marriott Desert Resort and Spa was a major benefit. The resort is still under construction but that was not a problem for those who stayed here. This is a time-share resort and many guests were tempted to buy a week at this luxury complex. Read our customer reviews?
