The Spa at JW Marriott Phoenix Desert Ridge Resort & Spa

"Young 'uns love the kids' program, while adults can rejuvenate at Revive Spa or tee off at the on-site golf courses"

"For some peace and quiet, the Revive Spa has 41 treatment rooms and a healthy restaurant"

"Four acres of "spectacular" grounds boasting pools and water features (including a tubing 'river') are the highlight of this "sublime", "romantic" Desert Ridge resort, which also sports two "challenging" golf courses, "fabulous" restaurants and a "fantastic" spa; the "excellent" rooms and suites have balconies or patios (those with a view to the south look out to Phoenix's mountain preserves), and when you toss in an extraordinary staff, it's no wonder supporters say they "want to move in"

"Enjoy two 18-hole championship golf courses designed by Arnold Palmer and Nick Faldo, or spend the entire day at the spa, with its Southwest-centric treatments like mesquite clay wraps and turquoise blue sage body rituals"

"There's no escaping the frustrating daily $29 resort fee, which includes self-parking (valet is $19), access to the tennis courts, bikes rentals, access to the fitness center (but not the spa facilities) and Internet access"
