Noticed on some reviews dating back to 2005 that renovating was going on. But took a chance and scheduled a weekend there (12/14-12/17). Well, 2007 ends with them STILL renovating. We stayed in a Casita which has not been updated. Knew I was in trouble when I opened the door and ran into the bed! Very small. Only 1 small closet and 2 small drawers for clothes. Tiny bathroom. The door leading to the patio (shared by other rooms it appeared) was boarded up! very strange. Wanted to print out a boarding pass on the day we left, but was informed it would cost $3 to use the computer/printer in the 24hr business center. Staff seemed okay though. The pool was empty (probably the time of year),but definately the highlight of the resort! Probably would not return.

The Pointe Squaw Peak was a fabulous 3 night getaway. Most things went smoothly. Special thanks to their wonderful concierge who helped with dinner reservations, golf tee times, babysitting service. We reserved a 2 bedroom villa which was very spacious, 2.5 baths, small kitchen, indoor/outdoor seating areas. Of special note is the excellent kids club called Coyote Camp. Our boys loved it, the team running it was super accomodating, and totally on top of the little bundles of energy. Renting a car via the lobby desk was easy. Meals at the hotel were fine. Nice staff. The pool winds around so it is a bit difficult to know exactly where your children are at any given time if they are explorers (but overall it did seem safe). The resort is older so has its charm in that respect; it is not a new ultra luxurious over the top resort. The beds were comfy. I would go back.

The rooms are very clean and with plenty of space and amenities. The pool is very nice with a lazy river for the kids.

Very central location in the greater Phoenix area.

We are just about to complete our stay of 4 days/3nights. Arrived about 5:15 pm and told we were upgraded to a King exc. suite - it was huge, 2 bathrooms, huge living room with of coure a board room table that would seat 12! Only thing was the sofa was not a pull-out for the boys. So much for the upgrade - went to another King suite, but it overlooked some roadwork and looked like we would trip over the boys so went for a 2 queen suite, 1st one offered was not 2 queens, and with the bell - hop hanging in there found us a 2 queen that we couldn't of been more pleased with. Overlooked the courtyard pool and was on the 4 th floor. Only a few areas have a 4th floor and it was very peaceful. My partner is a HH gold vip so 2 breakfast coupons were included each day. The children's menu at both restaurants is very, very reasonable and plentiful. They have a lot of patio seating but very few umbrellas which is sad as it was too warm to sit in the full sun. We ate at Hole in the Wall our first night - convenient. It had a fire - pit that people were taking advantage of. They now have a resort special for $2.25 a day which includes an extra water park pass per day (not that anyone checks) and local phone calls which i'm using to connect to the internet rather then pay the $9.95 per day use!
Pools were fine for the children, oh and fee includes the mini golf now. can't really sit in one spot and see the children all the time, so we found ourselves up and down looking for them even though they are 9 and 13 yrs! In a push we'd come back again but would like to try some other resorts. went to the Different Pointe of View for thanksgiving dinner - what a view, definitely recommended. Glad we didn't stay at the other Hilton, needed a ride upto the restaurant and apparently not much other then a water slide for the kids - now they are spoilt! Mind you they say their most favorite resort was one in Costa Rica - swim up bar where kids are allowed to order their own meals/drinks etc.!
