Can We Talk About the Pool Situation?
Ilene (massachusetts) on Apr 17, 2026
Beautiful property, very unique. Friendly staff. I very much appreciated the benefits received for my Platinum status: early check-in, room upgrade to a Signature View casita, complimentary breakfast buffet. The casita was comfortable, spacious and had a great view though the rug was dirty & the bathroom needs a full remodel. One disappointing deal breaker: I was very surprised that you have to pay extra just to swim in the adult pool in the main pool area. Just to swim. You can’t swim unless you rent a cabana, lounge or daybed and the prices change daily and are $$$$. That’s a first. I already paid an extra $60 including tax for a daily resort fee, so please do not relegate me to the kiddie pool. And, please turn down the blaring music because it’s not relaxing and it’s not upscale. It made the pool unusable. There’s also a $200 minimum spend to escape to the adult only spa pool.
Resort is not what it used to be...

This was my third visit to the JW Marriott Scottsdale Camelback Inn Resort & Spa. The 1st two visits were incredible. This stay was not great. The nightly rate is very high and for the amount we paid, I should NOT have to pay for a chair at the adult only pool. When I sat in the only chair available, I was told to leave because I didn't reserve the chair. The regular pool was jam packed during my stay and I couldn't sit with my husband OR get an umbrella. I have very fair skin and cannot be exposed to the Arizona sun without some sort of shade. We also had broken glass outside our front door of our room that took a long time to pick up even after resort staff walked by. It was very dangerous.
Don’t Miss This!

Gorgeous property, the cacti were spectacular. The bar makes a stellar Cactus Pear Mojito.
Excellent choice, would stay again

We chose this hotel as the vibe /appeal was very southwest. Coming from the east coast for a visit , something other than the "cookie cutter" resort was what we wanted and it didn't disappoint. From the Adobe style buildings, the dessert landscaping and the location at the base of CamelBack mountain and Mummy mountain was the perfect blend. The hotel grounds are absolutely stunning! Complete with varieties of differnt Cacti, palm trees, flowers and more flowers, even a few orange trees! I liked how the resort was laid out. Individual clusters of Adobe style buildings placed among the landscaping with winding walkways gave it a welcoming and unique feel. We booked the basic resort Casita room but being a Bonvoy member we were upgraded to a one bedroom suite and a deluxe oversized Casita room. Both were awesome and very clean. Fresh crisp linens , extra towels, well apointed furnishings complete with a safe and fridge. Both had an outdoor seating area which was nice to have morning coffee. Housekeeping was some as well. They kept it spotless and stocked. Thank you! The pool area was great also. Lots of chairs, unlimited towels, bar and restaurant (Hoppin Jacks) We did rent a cabana a few of the days and it was worth it to have a little space to yourself. It came with a stocked fridge of water and soft drinks, a huge container of sun screen, a fruit platter and a dedicated server. Emily and Mike were two of the servers at Hoppin Jacks we had during our stay and they were just awesome! Kudos to the two of you! you pampered us! Ritas Cantina was a hit as well! The food was fantastic and the servers worked hard! Thank you as well! We did not eat the Lincoln steakhouse but we were told it was really good. It's a big resort and its spread out so it never felt crowded, even when a few conventions were taking place. Overall, it was an amazing time. The staff was very welcoming and they did an excellent job. The grounds clean and very appealing. The rooms were very nice and comfortable. It's a little pricey but it was well worth it. Best hotel stay ever.
The resort was incredible: the team was so warm and welcoming, the atmosphere felt vibrant and fun, and our room was so

I stayed at JW Marriott Scottsdale Camelback Inn Resort & Spa for Spring Training, and we had the best time! The resort was incredible: the team was so warm and welcoming, the atmosphere felt vibrant and fun, and our room was so spacious and cozy. We also loved the on-site Starbucks which made grabbing a morning coffee so easy. The resort is located ~15 minutes from Scottsdale Stadium, which made it so easy for us to get to while being able to come back to a relaxing, clean, and quiet atmosphere. We can't wait to come back!
