Fairmont Scottsdale By far, of these 4 resorts, the Fairmont had the nicest rooms. Here were our four stops and our thoughts on each:ġ. And, she is definitely under the 42″ height requirement of most slides! That leaves us wanting a beach entry pool that Gabs can maneuver at her comfort level and the rest of us can still have fun! She still wants to wear her “seatbelt” (a life preserver). She has had a couple years of swimming lessons (and is currently enrolled), but it just hasn’t clicked with her yet.

Isabella just turned 6, so she is swimming really well, but Miss Gabs is on her own schedule. can’t wait for the kids to be super swimmers!). Six story water slides are cool, but our kids are just too young (wait till next year!!! Keith and I love water slides, water parks, etc. When we are lucky enough to head to a resort, our goal is for there to be a pool that is fun for the whole family. So in the sweltering Arizona summer, when the resort rates are pennies on the dollar compared to winter rates, it was easy to justify a night away at a gorgeous resort for our family. I’m strictly talking about resort pools in the greater Phoenix area that we have actually stayed at AND have a pool specifically for little ones. I’m not talking about pools where it’s romantic or great people watching or even super cool water slides. Now this review is only our family’s take on staying at these four resorts. Even though its still topping 100 everyday, it is hard to believe the summer fun is behind us. It’s hard to believe that the kids have been back to school for two weeks.
