    Nothing. It seems as though they've thought of everything!

    Everything from room service to spa services to lunch on the patio was outstanding. Would highly recommend to others and already have!

    Few miscommunications with staff regarding bikes and tables. There was no chance of getting even an hour extra in the room so I could go to yoga and come back and change in our room. There is a facility off the pool for later checkouts but it’s crazy busy and wasn’t well maintained throughout the day.

    There was not much we did not like. The only thing I can think of is that in the Spa, the male section had a lounge with signs that said "quite room", but there was a TV there which one the guests had always turned on so that my husband had to have his quiet post-sauna experience while listening to Tucker Carlson at high volume :-( I think there should be no TV at all in a "quiet room".

    While a bit pricey, this was a fantastic place to stay. The staff was very helpful and friendly, there is a great swimming pool, the restaurant had vegan options, and the scenery was beautiful. The rooms were spacious and well-equipped, and the room service was excellent. This is a great pace to relax!

    The only downside was having to go home . . . back to reality!

    My husband and I drove to Scottsdale and the location of Camelback Inn is centrally located in the Valley. We stayed in a Casita and it was great to have our car outside our room and not need to valet park. The Casita offered lots of privacy and we enjoyed coffee in the mornings on the front patio. During our stay we enjoyed meals at Rita's, Lincoln Steakhouse and also poolside. The food and service at each area was outstanding and we highly recommend dining at the resort.

    We didn’t like the fact that the alarm in the room was set before we arrived and woke us up at 6 am. The same happened to my adult children in their room which seems very strange. Not enough vegetarian options at the restaurant.

    The large terrace (we would have light a candle so that we could see better when we had dinner out there). Loved the pool and the fitness centre and using the bicycles.

    Server was not friendly in the restaurant. She seemed very impatient and distracted. We felt pressured to order and close our table. We felt like we did something to offend her, though could not pinpoint what…she made us very uncomfortable.

    Third anniversary, we are local with a young baby so close to home if needed

    My husband and I met our colleagues for a weekend getaway. My friend booked our room under her AAA discount. Little did we know what a mess this could create. When I first called the nice person helped me said no problem and took my card. The day of, I called and spoke with someone named Kim. If you can access the recording- her professionalism was very poor. I was worried, we rarely get away from our children and business to enjoy a vacation. Once we got there , we were given the wrong room ( same keys as the friend who booked us). This confusion continued all weekend. Many of our charges were mixed up. WiFi was not free, after so much paid. And unfortunately these friends who were roomed next to us ended up sick, the walls are so thin we could hear coughing all night. I will say the food at Rita’s was amazing and also by the pool. For the price we paid and what we had heard about service at JW Marriott Camelbak we were sorely disappointed and hope you can use this information to improve your services for other future clients.

    We didn’t like the “king suite”. The bathroom was small and hauling your luggage up the narrow stairs wasn’t great. One day the staff didn’t clean our room and my husband rang the front desk to ask for someone to clean our room and the person was a bit argumentative about it. Room service was a waste of money. My husband ordered a martini and me a nonalcoholic beverage and neither were acceptable. We don’t plan on going back.

    The surrounding area is beautiful and the steakhouse is remarkable. The room was okay. We got the bi-level king suite and it was nothing like the pictures. The steakhouse is amazing. It was the best part of the trip and the staff there were amazing. The spa was my favorite part except for the fact that they don’t do couples massages or facials. Everything is separated by gender.
