The Ultimate Travel Guide- Phoenix

There is such an array of attractions in Phoenix; whether you want to spend your time relaxing by the pool, treat yourself to a nice spa day, find some hiking spots, or go out on the town with your girls Phoenix has it all.

Spa

Luna Spa at The Scottsdale Resort at McCormick Ranch

This spa is at The Scottsdale Resort. They provide so many services and usually have great deals- typically in the Fall. They also provided us a free glass of champagne in honor of our bachelorette.

Hotels

JW Marriott Phoenix Desert Ridge Resort & Spa

I cannot say enough great things about this place. It is a beautiful resort hotel with a beautiful view of the mountains and so many amenities.

Amenities

Lazy River & Pool- We had such a nice time floating in the lazy river. You can order food/drinks from your server while still lounging in the pool.
Restaurant and bar- There are a couple of restaurants at the hotel, but my favorite was the easy going restaurant and bar. They had live music and a fabulous espresso martini.
Gym- if you're into working out while on vacation.

While the JW Marriott Phoenix Desert Ridge Resort & Spa was on the north end of Phoenix, the city is relatively small and we were able to get to the airport and scottsdale within 30 minutes if not less. It was definitely worth the drive for what you get.

Out on the Town

Old Town Scottsdale

This is the place to be if you are looking for a bar/restaurant scene. The streets are filled with bars and restaurants; you are bound to find one that you like. They have what I like to call "golf cart taxis" where they will take you anywhere in Old Town, so you don't have to walk. While Old Town Scottsdale is more of a downtown nightlife scene it could be a little bit of a walk if you are wanting to go to a specific place. The golf cart taxis are very convenient.

Wine Girl

If you're looking for a place for the girls to go I would suggest Wine Girl. It is such a cute wine bar and restaurant and they have wine on tap! Definitely an experience for the girls!

Outdoor Attractions

Desert Botanical Gardens- short drive from the airport! You can see the desert nature without having to hike. I recommend this is hiking isn't your thing, but still want to see what Arizona has to offer.

Hiking- There are so many hiking trails in and around Phoenix. Click HERE for more info.
