The Pool at The Monarch Scottsdale

"The Saguaro's two heated pools are ringed by cabanas with full bar service; there's also a poolside fitness center and an eponymous spa that offers treatments using indigenous products"

"Surrounded by lush landscaping, this urban resort features two pools that are among the hottest hangouts in all of Scottsdale, and rooms that juxtapose old and new with flat-screen TVs and retro furnishings that bring you back to the '60s"

"Vibrant guest rooms showcase color schemes that take their cue from Arizona’s native desert flowers, as well as hand-crafted imported Mexican furniture and amenities such as wall-mounted 42-inch HDTVs with on-demand movies and music, outdoor patios or step-out balconies, spacious work desks, stereos with iPod docking stations and views of Old Town, Civic Center park or one of the hotel pools"

"There's a palm-dotted pool and the well-located Saguaro's rates are lower than many neighborhood competitors"

"Big, bold pops of orange, pink and lime green inject this mod property with a bit of Southwestern color, and the weekend pool parties, “Nuevo Latin” spa and José Garce’s Distrito restaurant ensure there’s plenty to keep you busy"

"Just as vibrant, too, is the Saguaro’s pool-party scene, aided, no doubt, by water temps chilled or heated as the season dictates"

"In addition to its excellent Old Town location (near restaurants and shopping), the main draw here is the happening pool scene, which is a magnet for a young crowd looking to party"
