This is a unique retro modern boutique resort. Had a cool vibe and nice amenities. The restaurant on the property was very good both for breakfast and dinner. We rented a deluxe cabana for the day, which I highly recommend for some shade and privacy. Short stay for us, but worth it.

The hotel was very clean, pool staff were helpful and kind. We had to leave a night early and they would not help us with any refund, so that was a turn off. Especially since I was due an upgrade upon checkin that they also could not accommodate.

Expect all on property dining to be $$, Hearth restaurant was good. The golf course was nice and the golf staff were excellent. Pool furniture and lounge areas are dated and should be power washed. There was a commercial being filmed while we were there which was inconvenient— all around I’d say it was inconsistent, which surprised us.

The resort was exactly as pictured—absolutely beautiful. The food exceeded our expectations; every meal was amazing. Our only complaint is that the pools allowing kids had padded loungers, while the adult pool had less comfortable plastic chairs. It seems like the adult pool should offer the more comfortable seating.

That said, this was a very minor issue—we would definitely come back!

Paradise Valley is beautiful and Mountain Shadows has a wonderful sunset deck and view of Camelback mountain. Great location for hikers and near Old Town Scottsdale for dining and shopping. The main pool is great and provides a wonderful view of Camelback. Our only complaint was minor, the ice machine was outside our room and very noisy. I would recommend making sure you get a room with a balcony. We had an awesome stay!

Amazing property and amenities! Cannot wait to come back! This property is locally owned and will work with you if you book on Expedia where many others won’t. We upgraded our room with no charge and added a night at the same rate we were charged through Expedia. This is usually unheard of. Great place! Will be back!!

Terrible experience. Our first night of sleep was destroyed by a party that started in the room next door with 20+ people at 10:30 pm. After multiple calls to the front desk (by us and other guests) and several attempts by security, the situation was finally resolved several hours later. The second night, we were woken up in the middle of the night by a loud barking dog. For the price of this resort, they should have a much better handle on disruptions to guests’ sleep. I discussed our horrible experience with a manager and was given a very small discount. Super frustrating. Would not recommend staying here.

This was our 2nd stay at this property and we loved it. Lara at check in was great ! Offered me some Expedia upgrades, which was great. Room was updated and clean with a great view of the pool and a soaking tub. Everyone at the pool was so friendly and nice. My husband is a bit of a picky eater and they were very helpful getting him something to eat everyday at the pool. Shout out to Kevin and Sharon for sure! Top notch :) Also make sure you find the Sunset Pool over by Rusty's.. adults only and once the sun goes behind the building at the main pool you can go there and watch the sunset. Can't get any closer to Camelback Mountain unless you are climbing it!!

We really enjoyed our time at Mountain Shadows Resort and would come back again. We booked a double Queen premium room with a pool facing balcony. The room felt modern and the windows were a beautiful design feature. The location of our room within the property was perfect. The rooms were clean and well appointed, but we missed having a fridge in the room and there were no ice machines available in the building. I understand resorts aren’t DIY friendly and are meant to be more full service, but a fridge is a minimum amenity, in my opinion, and there was plenty of room for one. The patio overlooking the pool was great (the resort was very quiet and other guests were respectful!) but a second lounge chair on the balcony would have been appreciated. The bathroom set up for this room included an open vanity/sink area and a toilet room and shower enclosed in frosted glass. Privacy wasn’t a concern for me, since I was staying with my spouse, but for a family of four or a ladies weekend etc, one might feel uncomfortably exposed to have just a thin glass door separating the shower and toilet from the rest of the room. We did not eat or drink at any of the bars or food venues at the resort. Parking in/out was easy and we found a spot every time we left and returned. Regardless of a few room design shortfalls, we loved the resort, the staff and the location. If you visit, be sure to check the secret sunset pool and tour the lobby art gallery. Wonderful stay!

Pool was nice although a chilly day. Lots of children at the main pool. Gym new equipment but not very large. Good clas schedule including reformer Pilates, but we didn’t try classes. The main bar (left of entrance) was quite disappointing. Waited a long time and finally had to ask if we could order a drink despite several people working. Very grumpy bartender dude (to everyone, not just me.) Drinks sub par, especially for 4.5 star place. Chunks of ice ;not slivers) in martini as an example.

The daily fruited water in the lobby is also a nice touch. My only request would be some kind of coffee bar in the lobby in the mornings for a quick grab and go snack and coffee drink to go back to the room or out for a walk.

Great fun course to play on. The resort itself was nice. I hadn’t realized it was resort that’s been around for a while and changed hands along the way, including the Marriott group. This iteration is nicely done and the view of the camelback mountain is surreal. I was disappointed, however, with the customer service. Starting from check-in to our experience at the bar on the first night where one of the servers was a bit unkind and what my brother perceived as a little ignorant/bigoted.

All in all, great resort. Would recommend management spend some time investing in staff training.

We ended up having a great stay. If you are there on the weekend and DONT want to stay up until 11 make sure they don’t give you a room near the restaurant area. The first night was a rough one, our kids are little and we couldn’t sleep until they stopped playing at 11pm. The next day we asked to move rooms and they happily accommodated and gave us a little upgrade as well. Enjoyed the pool the rest of our stay and room was clean and comfortable. Wish there was some kind of coffee shop in the lobby for quick to-go options though as I was usually off in a rush in the morning. But it’s a nice quiet spot in paradise valley overall. Also enjoyed the EV chargers. Would stay again.
