Designed for adventurers, this resort offers spanning panoramic views of stunning wildlife. This retreat of deep relaxation and natural beauty is located at the base of South Mountain in the largest wilderness park preserve in the US with over 50 square miles of pristine Sonora desert landscape. Yet, the resort is still only minutes from downtown Phoenix. The resort remains beautifully detailed and expertly crafted to reflect the native spirit of the surrounding wilderness landscape. The water complex has two swimming pools with waterfalls, a waterslide, hot tub, kiddy pool, observation peak, poolside bar, private cabanas, and massage services. Each air-conditioned unit features a Jacuzzi, fireplace, balcony/patio, flat-screen plasma tv's, washer/dryer, and kitchen with a microwave, dishwasher, stove, oven, and refrigerator. Nearby, enjoy the Phoenix Zoo, desert Jeep tours, hot-air balloon rides, and the Grand Canyon. This resort was formerly known as Whispering Rock Resort, Aristar Resorts South Mountain Preserve, and Canyonview Resorts Club.
