JW Marriott Phoenix Desert Ridge Resort & Spa - A 300-acre luxury resort with championship golf, spa, and waterpark in Desert View
Spanning 300 acres in Desert View, this AAA 4-Diamond Phoenix hotel features five temperature-controlled pools, three water slides, and a lazy river within the AquaRidge Waterpark. The JW Marriott Desert Ridge houses 36 holes of championship golf across two courses designed by Arnold Palmer and Nick Faldo, plus 17 lighted pickleball courts with certified instruction. Eight dining venues include celebrity chef Angelo Sosa's Tia Carmen and a poolside grill. The two-story Revive Spa offers treatment rooms, a sanctuary pool, sauna, steam rooms, and a fitness center with personal training. Marriott's newest addition, Sedona Bay, provides an exclusive pool experience with VIP service and enhanced dining. The property sits adjacent to Desert Ridge Marketplace, with the Musical Instrument Museum located 1.5 miles away.
Pros
Private JW Griffin Club access includes complimentary food, beverages and concierge services
All pools heated to 82 degrees during cooler months
Dedicated golf pro shop with club fittings and PGA instruction
On-site organic garden supplies fresh ingredients to restaurants
Cons
22 miles from Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport
Waterslides require minimum heights of 42-48 inches
“This resort clearly courts families with its expansive water park and recreational options. Golfers will appreciate the two championship courses-Palmer and Faldo left their mark. However, expect costs to align with this level of luxury; value here lies in the breadth of activities, not necessarily budget-friendly rates.”
