Excellent Value for a FUN resort
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 06/06/2005
The key to enjoying this resort is to spend some time reading the guidebook and discovering the various amenities. Lookout Mountain is an excellent, manicured golf course. The pools range from "Fun and Busy" to "Quiet and Romantic" depending on which of the several you choose. Poolside drinks and dining are very good quality without you feeling "taken" by the prices as in some other resorts. Jacuzzis are everywhere!! The restaurants are good and the premium restaurant "Top of the Pointe" is one of Arizona`s finest and definately has the best view. The area has many fine restaurants so I wouldn`t recommend never leaving the property to dine. You can easily spend $700/ night at other Scottsdale / Phoenix resorts as I have but the atmosphere is decidedly stuffy by comparison. The common areas pools, spa and fitness centers are first rate. The rooms while slightly outdated as of 2002 offer breathtaking views and balconies, a fair trade off. For around $200/night in season, Tapatio Cliffs can`t be beat.
