Pre-Christmas visit
SalfromIL (Cave Creek, Arizona) on Dec 03, 2025
We stayed here starting on the Sunday of the black Friday weekend. The entire resort was decked out in Christmas regalia. We were able to check in early and it really didn’t look like they were that many people staying there but the public areas were crowded with families. We did get an upgraded room, but it really wasn’t all that special. It was quiet and faced the golf course and mountains. It’s a very large resort and it took us a bit to figure out where everything was. Outside they had an ice rink and were making snow for a slide. There were Christmas lights everywhere, but being in Arizona, the water slides, splash pool and regular pool were open as well. As per usual with Marriott properties, the staff were helpful and pleasant. It’s a pricey resort so it’s only an option for us on special occasions.
Bait and switch at the JW.

I booked a sundeck suite for 5 nights that had about 1000 sq ft outside deck overlooking the lazy river and water slides. The outside deck had a large dining room table under lattice, a couch, 2 chairs, and a table. What was missing was 2 lounger chairs that were clearly displayed on the JW website advertising the unit. I spoke with 3 people over the day about getting any kind if lounger chair and was told point blank....it wasn't going to happen..In fact the front desk lady hung up on me twice and I wasn't being rude. Just pointing out the obvious. This is a water park facility that has about 1000 chairs on the site. I even offered to go get two and was told I couldn't do that. Thankfully the next morning a more senior manager called to apologize and get us two lounger chairs. I told him I wasn't sure if I dealing with a top hotel or a government agency. We did not get comped anything and we spent quite a bit at the hotel.
