-- a magnet for families, with its private Oasis water park.

Arizona Grand Resort

  • just 15 minutes from the Phoenix airport, and right next to a giant municipal park (for hiking and biking)
  • all-suites
  • wave pool, river float, kiddie pool, giant jacuzzi, one easy waterslide plus two with major vert
  • golf is a highlight, with high-tech indoor learning center as well as a golf course

The Arizona Grand Resort -- just six miles from the Phoenix airport -- has two-room suites in attractive large units; challenging golf course; athletic club, Spa, tennis courts.

The big draw for families is the Oasis private water park, with wave pool, river float, kiddie pool, 25-person jacuzzi, and three giant waterslides.

When we visited the resort (as Pointe South Mountain Resort), it had a kids club and a club for teens.*

A bonus for guests is the giant municipal park -- the 16,500 acre South Mountain Park/Preserve) a few paces away, with miles of hiking trails. (See pix.)
