Was at the bar and the bartender clown told us we need to wear a mask in between sips of our drinks. I told him to go where the sun doesn't shine. These people are the most ridiculous. Don't spend your money at this garbage place.
Awesome stay. Room was neat and comfortable, property was very clean and well maintained. Pool is large enough for individual space keeping each group separated if you don't want to mingle. Casino bar was great, quality drinks there no holding back. Ten stars to the staff all over the facility. Very friendly and helpful no matter what job. Very attentive in their respective positions.Highly recommend Talking Stick Resort.
Stayed early August, expecting no resort fee per their website on AZ travelers, they hit me for $25 a night.
It's a beautiful resort, with mediocre service and staff. It took me 2 days to be acknowledged by any service staff. Few staff smile or greet customers. Not 1 dealer smiled as we passed, 1 mad eye contact. Asked several different staff including hotel reception, players card staff, and even security about the resort. Most weren't sure, none offered to find out any answer. I finally had to ask the concierge, who is not on staff 24 hours. The only 1 with answers!
We tried their cafe Blue Coyote for food, VERY limited menu. Ended up getting Chinese food. Everything that came out, was covered in green onions. Yuck. Turns out the chef loved green onions. Tried a 2nd time for breakfast, no non-pork alternatives, same limited menu. Tried others, disappointed.
Our room was beautiful, but very unclean. Found dust on shelves, prints on glass windows, even dirt! 2 queen beds, but 1 chair??? No room cleaning until you're there 3 days, no restock of water/shampoos. Shower leaked, had to put down towels. Cheap TP, soaps, tissue. Didn't want to give more waters, when I called for more. If its included in the resort fee, but they refuse it...?
There was a water garden we could see from our window, which I visited. It was full of trash. Disgusting!
We won't stay nor visit again in the near future. They use the pandemic as an excuse for poor service and staff.
It is super super cold here. If you are sensitive to cold,l bring a jacket! There is no smoking here. So it's great for those with asthma and allergies. The bar next to high roller room is awesome. The service is great, they are on it with getting you drinks and being polite.
Clean place and there was free masks for covid, good precautions were used for the safety of the players. Rooms are spacious and clean nice place to go for a weekend even if you stay in town.
My hostess is so sweet and accommodating. Food at all the restaurants is delicious and the young lady at the gift shop was so helpful and kind. Thank you to all the staff, such a nice place
We stayed here for a friend's event and decided to get the scenic signature room with king bed. The room itself was nice and the bed was comfortable, but the view was anything but scenic. We did get a patio though and didn't have to walk far to the pool. We would have chosen another room if they had explained the view from the patio was going to be of the back of tarped cabanas.
I like going here every couple months. Rooms are nice. Service is definitely above average. Pool area is good. Ocean Trail is a MUST eat at place! Poker room is great. Bar where little band plays is definitely a good hangout spot.
Mask are strongly suggested. The patios have really nice lighting and fire pits. There is no mist spraying so it can get pretty warm during summer nights. Sometimes they will open all of the doors to keep everyone cool, if you ask. There is normally a fair amount of seating but you might want to call ahead to reserve an area if you are part of a large party.
Rooms are nice and resort is attractive, but, even though the rest of the area no longer requires you to wear a mask, the resort (and all the Reservation land) require you to wear a mask all the time. Also you get no player card points for table game, only slots and they don't even give you a free drink at the high limit tables when you're playing.
