Sheraton Desert Oasis Reviews & Ratings

We stayed in a lockout and it was very spacious for the two of us. A jacuzzi tub in the bathroom, a well equipped kitchen and a comfortable queen size bed made it very enjoyable. The grounds and pool were spotless and the staff very accommodating. We would stay there again in a heart beat.

We stayed in a 1 BR unit here in May 2005. We were very impressed with our unit. It was well appointed with nice furnishings and seemed practically new. We were missing an iron and a few items in the kitchen, but the staff responded with replacements right away. If you take the property tour, it will get you some nice discounts on golf course fees. There are lots of planned activities--we enjoyed the evening of wine tasting very much. Lots of shopping, restaurants and golf nearby. We experienced record high temperatures in May, and driving to Sedona and Prescott for the day gave us nice relief from the heat (not to mention some awesome sightseeing and golfing experieces). I would highly recommend this resort. We would definitely return!

We stayed here Easter 2004. Had a wonderful time. Our kids loved the pool and on site covered play ground area. Grounds were beautiful, weather was great. We purchased units at this resort before visiting it so we were pleasantly surprised to know we had made a great choice.

We stayed in a great one bedroom unit overlooking the main pool & waterfall. The unit was very well equipped and laid out. The landscaping is breathtaking ... a crew of 36 groundskeepers! The resort makes a real effort to have activities every day and all of the staff were very helpfull. The pool is the finest one we have seen at any resort.

There is no on-site restaurant, but Scotsdale and Phoenix are packed with great places to eat so this is not a hardship. The minor weaknesses we saw were that the fitness facility is tiny, they don't allow you to take any drinks in the pool area, and the pool closes at 10:00 PM ... way too early!.

We would love to go back and would seriously consider buying a unit here. We still have wonderful memories of sitting on the balcony of our unit, looking at the waterfall and drinking a frozen piña colada.

what can I say,absolutely fabulous.the units themselves are imaculate,the service from the staff is second to none,,,,,,,,,,,,it was wonderful

This is one of the finest RCI resorts we have been to and we have stayed at some great Gold Crown properties! The pool and grounds are great, as is the professional staff. Day trips to Grand Canyon and Sedona are mandatory and the local Scottsdale area is very upscale as well. Check out the Phoenecian, Troon North, and Boulders resorts. They are all quite unique. The resort held a hot dog and beer party our first night there and it was very lively. They also bring in all the Jeep tour, horseback riding, hot air balloon, etc. promoters one morning to give their spiels. We ended up taking a hot air ballon ride with our young (10 & 7 yrs) daughters. It cost a few bucks, but what a great memory for us all. A first class resort all the way!

Awesome place. Pool is great. Area attractions are wonderful. Staff is friendly. Can't do better than this.

This resort is terrific! The villas are luxurious and have everything you need. The pool complex is spectacular and the resort amenities and activities are very good. The location offers alot to do as well.

This resort is fantastic. Super accomodations, close to everything. Great staff, always willing to help.

We stayed here the week of July 12, 2003. The resort was great. The staff was wonderful. The resort has everything you can ask for. The entertainment was great, while we were there their was a storyteller that came and told about the old west, a bbq, a wine tasting party, and many more activities. There were special activities for the children including a night out activities so mom and dad could have some quiet time. The resort was beautiful and well maintained. It was nice to watch the hummingbirds from your patio. The only reason I am giving it a 4 star is because during the hottest week in the year they had some pool and hot tub problems, which they worked hard to resolve quickly.

great resort perfectly located in the best part of scottsdale, incredible golf minutes away as well as amazing resteraunts and nightlife. A must visit.

I have stayed here twice and it is one of the best ones I have ever been to. The grounds are immaculate as are the rooms. It is furnished in a southwestern theme. The two bedrooms are huge with a large jacuzzi tub in the bedroom, a huge clear shower in the bath and large comfortable furniture. I love this place! The staff is very professional.

I really would not call this a "resort." It is more of a condo/apartment place. We saw a lot of people at the pool, who basically live in the phoenix area, have a Starwood membership and were just using it for the day.

Also, there are NO restaurants on site, as thetre are with say Marriott resorts. We really missed that. Phoenix/Scottsdale in general is boring, flat as a pancake, spread out and nothing but malls with no character, mom and pop feel or charm.

The pool is WAY smaller than what the pics show.... AND unlike the pictures which pretty much show it empty and tranquil is LOUD with families and screaming kids. Lousy for romance, with no way to get away from it. They do have a supposed quiet pool, but then you have NO sun there at that one.

Kitchen was cramped, and appliances very low end.

Keep in mind, I'm normally a very positive person and look down upon people who are too negative in their reviews, but these observations really are the case.
