Hilton Phoenix Tapatio Cliffs Resort
Property has the potential to be amazing if they would update everything it’s just super old. There is no bar at the adult only pool which is also very small.

The photos online make the pool area, slide and lazy river are bigger than they really are. Construction was going on. I wouldn't stay again
