This resort is everything one could expect from a top-notch Hilton resort and more. I spent 4 nights here in February. Situated in the Oro Valley at the base of beautiful Sonoran Desert mountains, the location is breathtaking. The resort is obviously well-run. Every staff member I encountered- housekeeping staff, pool attendants, front desk, restaurant and management was incredibly friendly, helpful and seemingly eager to assist. The room was impeccably cleaned and maintained, the grounds are tastefully decorated with a wide assortment of desert flora. On a couple of evenings a Native American flute player filled the air with hauntingly beautiful melodies. It was positively enchanting.
These touches, combined with excellent food and service in the resort restaurants, the wonderful hiking trails and horse stable within walking distance combined to make this resort a new favorite of mine (oh, they also offer golf and tennis).
The only reason I'm not giving this resort 5 stars is the wifi. It was disappointingly slow. I often found myself using my mobile carrier's data instead of the hotel wifi.
