Re: Staycation

  • We stayed at the Doubletree in Scottsdale once for a staycation.  It was great and affordable.

    The Hyatt Regency is also beautiful and summer rates are awesome! 

  • I used to be a catering manager at the Doubletree. Since it's summer time, their rates will be very good. 

    Last week I did a Boudoir session at the Hotel Valley Ho. OMG!!! We were in the "Executive Suite" (i think it was the executive anything) and it was SUPER Romantic. Has a big round bathtub in the bedroom. They also have a great spa that I've been to. You may even be able to get a couples massage in your own room if they offer that.

    I also REALLY like the Hyatt in Scottsdale. BEAUTIFUL!!!  They have Gondola rides that you can go on in the evenings. Singing and all! VERY Romantic.  

  • Thanks girls! i am so excited to plan this staycation! We have been going through kind of a lot of family stuff and we just want to get away and be romantic, we also plan on buying CJ's ring while we are there since we didn't get to do it a couple weeks ago :)

  • Jenn, in a previous post I was telling Shannon about the water park resorts.  There are three resorts we visit regularly throughout the summer: 

    http://www.arizonagrandresort.com/

    http://www1.hilton.com/en_US/hi/hotel/PHXSPPR-Pointe-Hilton-Squaw-Peak-Resort-Arizona/index.do

    All three resorts have HUGE water parks (slides, lazy rivers, wave pool, etc.)!  And they have amazing summer rates, like $79-99/night.  Tapatio Cliffs has one of the best restaurants in the country (I think top 25 - its called Point in Time or something), its really romantic.  They all have gorg. spas too.

  • We stayed at the Firesky Resort for DH's birthday, back in April.  We really liked it.  The rooms have all been recently renovated, and they're really nice.  There's two pools, and just has a secluded feeling when you're walking around the grounds.  It was perfect for us, and we'd definitely stay there again.  The only downfall was that the pool was super busy the whole time we were there, but it could have just been the time we were there.
  • OMG i am getting so excited! i can't wait for CJ to get home and show him all that i found thanks to you girls! we are going to go the weekend after father's day we think we haven't decided yet but either way i can't wait!

  • i was going to book at the arizona grand, until the nightly rate was more than i wanted to spend and keep in mind they also charge a $30 resort fee per night. that kinda sucks! i was all excited about it too.

  • jen, the doubletree doesn't have a spa. they have tiny little rooms in the locker rooms where they do massages, but that's it.

    however, right next door is the Lamar day spa. I LOOOVE IT!!! I know you can get a couples massage there and you'll have access to the rest of the spa with any treatment you get.
