A Weekend In... Phoenix


I have found the perfect romantic retreat in the Royal Palms Resort and Spa in Scottsdale, Arizona. Camelback mountain provides the backdrop to this tranquil resort conducive to romance and quality time spent together. The cozy rooms are decorated with a Southwestern flair. The casitas and bungalows are scattered throughout the property, which feel like a world away, with its Spanish Colonial architecture, tucked behind high walls. The Montevista spa suites include your very own steam shower and overlook a lovely courtyard filled with flowers and fountains. Many of the rooms have fireplaces and private patios. Take advantage of the fabulous spa while having a massage from a treatment room with views of the desert vistas.
It's no wonder that the Royal Palms is a very popular venue for weddings and other special events!

Sanctuary Camelback Mountain is a terrific destination for couples or a getaway with a group of friends! Set on the north side of Camelback mountain in Paradise Valley, this resort has magnificent views from its mountain and spa casitas. I loved the private patios and the floor to ceiling windows in the spa suites. The re-vamped restaurant, Elements, is highly acclaimed by locals and visitors alike. The menu has an Asian flair with many healthful dining options. However, I couldn't help but be intrigued by the Kobe beef hot dog with creamy cheese sauce, in a pretzel bun. Luckily the fully-equipped fitness center offers every option to help you work off that lunch. A variety of complimentary fitness classes, hikes and activities are included in your stay. Don't feel like exerting yourself too much? Head for the spa and try one of their signature treatments. This retreat offers the ultimate in relaxation.
Your VIP amenities include: complimentary upgrade, continental breakfast daily, and a complimentary 30 minute massage!

The Phoenician is one of my favorite resorts in Scottsdale. Multiple pools, a waterslide, children's program, championship golf course, tennis and spa round out this playground for kids and adults alike. The newly refurbished Canyon suites offer an oasis of solitude and a bit more privacy than the main resort. Here, you have private check-in, concierge, and a whole host of complimentary services: high speed internet access, transportation to nearby shopping, access to the fitness center, valet parking and wine tastings in the lobby each afternoon!
The Centre for Well-being provides the latest in cardiovascular fitness equipment and classes. The spa has a skylit meditation room for relaxing before or after a body or skincare treatment.

When booking with us, you will receive these VIP amenities: an upgrade upon arrival based on availability, full breakfast daily, welcome amenity of fresh fruit, $50.00 food and beverage credit and complimentary access to the fitness center ($20 value per person per day!)
