The Andaz in Scottsdale is simply fab! I was blown away by the architecture and design. It literally felt like a desert escape from suburbin/city life back home. From the moment I arrived, the bellman greeted me with a smile and helped me with my luggage. The area at the front desk was open and inviting. I was offered a welcome drink which was a spiked prickly pear-so good! I had arrived very early before check-in time but the front desk rep upgraded my room to a bigger one and allowed me to check-in instantly! This set the tone for the rest of my stay! I was taken to my room via golf cart which was so convenient because it was very hot out. My bungalow was simple in aesthetic but clean. I even had my own little private courtyard with a bench, table, and cacti where I enjoyed my welcome drink. The spa services, waiters/bartenders at the restaurant, and pool attendants were all equally accomodating and friendly. The food and drink offerings were all delish. I would rate my experience there a 9/10 with the 1 point off only because there were little mechanical noises in my room and the retreat pool (there are 3 pools total) was offered to me at check-in but when I got there, my key didn’t work because apparently your room has to be in the retreat area to get in but that was not stated to me. Overall, I’m officially obsessed with Andaz and would love to visit them all!
