Arizona Grand Resort & Spa

8/10 Good

"It was a fun. Waterpark drinks were really expensive ($20/USD per drink) 3 water slides, kids have to be over 48” to use any of them. Rooms were good, clean and spacious. Conveniently located. Would stay again if given the opportunity. Bell staff were very attentive and gave us rides all over the property when needed (they conveniently have a number to text if you need a ride) it’s a big property so in the August heat this is a great option. Lots of pools to choose from if you didn’t want to use the water park that were closer to your room. Housekeeping wasn’t great, but it wasn’t a make or break for us."
