We enjoyed another fabulous vacation at Marriott’s Canyon Villas, in a two-bedroom, two bath villa, at a beautifully maintained and designed Marriott Vacation Club resort. I realized that we have been vacationing at Canyon Villas, since the year it opened, and like Marriott’s Desert Springs Villas, the resort has gotten better over its lifetime, as it has aged. The Canyon Villas staff were warm, welcoming, professional, and efficient. Our check-in and check-out was flawless. The pools are immaculate, and have a variety of options for sun and shade worshipers. There is a remote/isolated “quiet pool." The fitness center, also immaculate, is well equipped with a nice mix of cardio and resistance equipment. It could use a few inflatable exercise balls, of various sizes. We enjoyed access to the JW Marriott Desert Ridge Resort and Spa, on weekdays; the pools were pristine, the lazy river was a lot of fun, and the restaurants served excellent food. We paid a rather substantial fee, for spa access at the the JW, but, it was worth it. I thought we might go to Mountainside Fitness for exercise equipment that the Canyon Villas fitness center does not have, but, we decided on the spa, at the JW, where we were treated with kindness and warm hospitality. There is no shuttle service between Canyon Villas, and the JW, but, the distance is walkable, even in June heat. Canyon Villas is ideally located, convenient to Phoenix Airport, and many excellent restaurants, in close proximity to Canyon Villas. Scottsdale is not far away. One very nice feature at Canyon Villas, is the ability to spend your check-out day at the pool, and to shower in an immaculate, well maintained locker room, before you head to the airport. We look forward to returning to Canyon Villas, annually. The resort and staff are spectacular.

“Resort style living with great amenities!”

Lovely resort with great exercise classes, hot tubs, pools and staff. We have been coming here for several years now.

Lovely resort with great exercise classes, hot tubs, pools and staff. We have been coming here for several years now. We like the amenities, comfortable rooms with great beds, and the fact they have a bar and grille by the pool. Villa guests should have easier access to the JW Amenities next door without the limitations is suggested. My only complaint is that ALL hot tubs and pools should be heated sufficiently during all the seasons. From my observation it is a money saver for the resort not to do so, and it penalizes the paying guests. Thank you for a great stay.

“Big Rooms, Modest Property”

The one-bedroom unit at Marriott’s Canyon Villas was really large. There was a full size refrigerator and a range, including oven). There was also a breakfast bar with stools and a full dining room table with eight chairs, along with the living room and large bedroom, bathroom and separate ante room with a tub and sink. The property is small. There are several pools but overall there’s not much space and it feels very compact. We found out just before leaving that there is access to the sprawling pool at the Marriott resort and conference center directly across the street, as long as the occupancy of that resort allows it.
