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.

Hilton Phoenix Resort at the Peak
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

Already looking forward to next time! Grounds and room were perfect for relaxing, we loved the outdoor patio space. Gym was clean and well maintained. Staff was cheerful and always helpful. Love that the bar also had lattes etc (for purchase) on property.
