JW Marriott Phoenix Desert Ridge Resort

"Fantastic 5 night stay right before Thanksgiving. Room was spacious and comfortable with 2 balconies (suite)! The pool complex was amazing. Really great service from all at Just a Splash pool bar and Twenty6 lobby lounge. We took the kids to the Jingle holiday festivities and enjoyed it all from ice skating to the warm winter drinks. The entire hotel was decorated for Christmas with music all day long. No complaints and hope to come back again at the same time of year."

"⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Five-Star Review for JW Marriott Desert Ridge Presidential Suite “An Unforgettable Thanksgiving Family Reunion in the Presidential Suite!” Our family celebrated an entire Thanksgiving week reunion at the JW Marriott Desert Ridge, renting the incredible Presidential Suite—and I can honestly say it was one of the most memorable experiences ever! The suite itself is pure luxury. Spacious and elegantly designed, it comes equipped with top-tier amenities, including a full kitchen and a beautiful dining room perfect for our family gatherings. We enjoyed making holiday meals together, and having such a gorgeous, functional space made everything feel extra special. The view from the suite is truly a 10 out of 10. Waking up to breathtaking sunrises and unwinding with stunning sunsets every day made our stay feel magical. There’s just something about those sweeping vistas that set the perfect backdrop for family memories. The staff went above and beyond to make sure our stay was seamless and comfortable. Every detail was taken care of, from check-in to special touches that made our holiday even more festive. If you’re looking for the ultimate luxury stay for a special occasion or family gathering, I can’t recommend the Presidential Suite at JW Marriott Desert Ridge enough. We left with hearts full of gratitude and memories we’ll cherish forever! Five stars, without a doubt!"

"Stayed here for 5 nights with my family of four over the XMas holidays during Jingle at the JW. The pool area was probably one of the nicest I've ever seen at a Marriott property, nicer than most resorts. Drinks and snacks were on the pricy side, as can be expected. The courts were in excellent shape. There are only 3 tennis courts now and close to 20 pickleball courts, so very much a pickleball resort. Pickleball crowds were loud and fun. We had complimentary continental breakfast each day for two as loyalty members, but at $33 per day extra for each of our kids, or $45 with hot food option, we usually just got them a light breakfast at Starbucks rather than paying that much for them to have a muffin and some fruit. I guess this price seems to be the norm for nicer buffets now. If we didn't get it complimentary we wouldn't have gone at all. The Jingle at the JW features are definitely designed for young children vs teens, so we didn't do much of them. New Years eve had some live music in the lobby bar and a relatively quiet celebration, but that was fine for us. I think the resort fee of $55/day is reasonable (as long as you plan for it), butthe $30/day parking seemed excessive considering all the on-site parking space in the desert. It's not like the resort is downtown or anything. In summary, a very nice resort, we enjoyed our time there (especially at the pool), but like many places in this area, the costs added up quickly."
