Gemstone Resorts - accommodation in Ahwatukee Foothills

Wow!!! So blown away by our room !!!!! Liz down at the Blue Coyote Cafe for breakfast this morning was so great! The pool area is a little dated however I would still stay here!!!! The amenities are awesome! We did a day trip to Sedona and coming back to the jacuzzi at night was so great! We stayed on the top floor C2 and the views are breathtaking!!!!!

The room was dated and lacking some maintenance (sink handle fell off during visit, etc.). The pull out couch was horribly uncomfortable, even for tweens. Even when we brought up our children couldn't sleep on it, there was no alternative offered. There was not a roll away available. The river ranch water park is decent. The slide was ok, water speed was "slow" per our 10 year old. Lazy river wasn't too long, but enjoyable. Multiple pools. It was crowded often. I think they might sell day passes to outsiders, which is too bad, as it crowds the park. We ended up at the "regular pool" for hotel guests more often because it was less crowded. Central location is good. Ease of check in and check out. Lots of parking. Pull out couches need better/updated mattresses. We unfortunately couldn't book a double bed, as they were sold out. If you can't get a double, beware, as your children will not be comfortable.

Not worth the price.
