Easy place to hang out and play golf at for a few days. More casual eating locations would be great. The lighting in the rooms is pretty abrasive - annoying LED spot lights. Clean and roomy for the price though.

Whereas the property and room was phenomenal, the customer service is an embarrassment. From the get go, while checking in at 1:53, the receptionist tells me there's a $20 early check in fee. Check in was 2:00. I joked that I was going to stall for 7 minutes and she asked if I wanted to stand aside until 2:00. Seriously? A first time visitor and you're that adamant about my $20 as a first impression? Aside from her, the bartenders were absolutely miserable. No personality, no eye contact, no apology while I waited ten minutes as the only one in line for a beer. Our waitress at the Cantina was terrific - very nice and cared about her work. The cleaning crew were all pleasant. The "suits" on the floor, didn't care. They only seemed to interact with the regulars. Beautiful hotel and rooms. Overall experience was very disappointing by simply feeling unwelcomed.

Great choice for a relaxing visit

Talking Stick Resort was great. Very clean, comfortable, nice choice of restaurants in the resort. The staff was very friendly and helpful. Lots of activities from the gaming to the extensive swimming pools and more. I felt the price for the experience was very good.

I felt very welcome

From then moment I drove up to valet my car. The staff took care of me the entire time I was staying with them. Everyone had a warm welcome and very helpful. They parked my car, took my luggage to my room. I didn't have to do anything. I felt welcome and I will definitely be back. I would pay a little more to be taken care of like i was.
