TripAdvisor Traveler Rating

The resort itself was not bad, we were there for spring break, pool areas and slides crowded which was expected. My specific review is on the Citrus Club Lounge. I think it is a beautiful lounge with very nice relaxing indoor and outdoor areas for adults. The food decent. Citrus club lounge is an above 21 year old lounge so no kids are allowed, which we knew. The big issue that really turned me off is when I took at 2 mini cold cut sandwiches for my kids at the pool right next to the lounge, this one older gentleman lounge staff made a big stink about it. I don't remember his name, but that really rubbed us off the wrong way. We paid $1,200 a night. And 2 small cold cut sandwiches? Wow! I think if you are traveling with everyone above 21 years old, this lounge is actually quite nice. Very nice bar, one of the nicest club level lounge bars. But if you are with family and kids, no way; never again.

Make time for a pickleball clinic or lesson with Brendan Easterling and Josh Branyan at the Arizona Biltmore. It's a great facility with super instruction. I ran two corporate group programs with them, and they did a fabulous job. They created hours of fun, instruction and play for all levels of play. And if you just want to play, the Arizona Biltmore has four great pickleball courts. Serve 'em up and stay hydrated!

This hotel is great!! It's so very luxurious and has many advantages that other hotels don't. For instance, it has one of the tallest water slides in the world along with an awesome pool! (don't worry adults, there's a quiet pool as well) Another great character of this hotel is the amazing spots to chillax! There's grass to play catch, dining and restorounts with breakfast dinner and lunch and even shops to walk around!! This hotel is huge and gorgeous and the rooms. Oh the rooms are wonderful, even the small ones are luxurious!! Theres never been a disippipointing experience at the Biltmore. I always look forward to coming and have made many great memories. I recommend times a million!!

My wife and I just returned from a marvelous 3-night stay at the Arizona Biltmore (AB), in part to celebrate our wedding anniversary. As a lifelong Frank Lloyd Wright fan, I’ve been looking forward to bringing Mrs. T here for a number of years. It was originally built in the late 20’s, so has a very interesting past that’s worth reading up on. AB is centrally located in Phoenix, so is close enough to the airport, shopping, and Scottsdale. Property - The AB grounds are very well-manicured, with native flowers, shrubs, and mature trees. The property is very expansive (39 acres), and includes the (older) main building, wings, cottages, and villas. We enjoyed checking out all the cool FLW design elements, both inside and out. Also great to visit are AB’s two beautiful bars - Spire and Wright. Spire is located outside at the property center, between main building and Saguaro Pool. Food & Spa - During our stay, we ate at Renata’s (Pan-Latin) and McArthur’s, for breakfast and two dinners. When we weren’t at the pool or eating, Mrs. T and I enjoyed the award-winning Tierra Luna Spa. She enjoyed a full-body massage, which I was able to enjoy the relaxation areas, hot tub and wet sauna. They provide lockers, showers, gowns, and slippers while you’re there. Make sure to book treatments well ahead of your arrival, to ensure you get a spot. Alternatively, a day pass can be purchased when you arrive, if you just want to enjoy the hot tub and sauna. Rooms - We booked a King Resort Room with patio, which ended up being in the Yellow Wing (adjacent to main building). All buildings & room categories are very much in keeping with the FLW design, inside and out. Rooms definitely have a wow factor, are nicely-appointed, luxurious, and quite spacious. We would give high marks for our King bed, oversized chair, desk area, and shower. In-room dining is an option at AB, so food & drinks can be ordered almost anytime. Some resorts & hotels still don’t offer full in-room dining, which is crazy to me. Pools - We loved the fact that we had many pool options at the AB. In addition to a large family pool w/ slide, AB also has a large adult (21+) pool, with its own food & beverage facility (i.e., quicker service), plus a handful of small pools spread out across the property. It should be noted that the F&B service at the adult pool was better here than we have seen at comparable resorts. Parker was our waiter and did a very nice job taking care of us.

Look elsewhere. Extremely overcrowded. Zero spa availability during our 4 days stay. Pool bar service does last call at 430. Very long lines. This is closer to a homewood suites experience than a Hilton, much less a WA. This is for a Diamond Member.. I can’t imagine being a “regular member”.
