About this place JW Marriott Camelback Inn Resort & Spa

JW Marriott Camelback Inn is a long-established mainstream resort in Paradise Valley, between Phoenix and Scottsdale. It opened in 1936, and the rooms are spread across 125 acres in single-storey casitas. It has a large spa, several pools and restaurants, and the Camelback golf courses are next door. We list it as gay-friendly, not as a gay venue. Google reviewers rate it 4.6 across nearly 2,800 reviews. This is a place to stay put and rest, not a base for nightlife. Phoenix's gay bars, mostly along 7th Avenue and in Melrose, are about 20 to 30 minutes away by car. Summer rates drop sharply because daytime temperatures go above 40°C.

We had an amazing time celebrating our anniversary. Kenni at Ora Cafe went above and beyond to make our evening memorable. The service was attentive, friendly, and thoughtful, making us feel genuinely welcomed. Thank you for helping make our special day even more meaningful! ❤️

Stayed at this resort for 4 evenings and had a horrible experience. As much as I want to love this place due to its scenery I hesitate to say anything positive. The food was mediocre at best (and wildly overpriced), waited over an hour past “guaranteed” check in time and received a generic “oh sorry about that”, and waited for over an hour multiple times for service on the patio for drinks and food. I can’t think of a world where its even remotely worth what they’re charging.
