HOTEL RESERVATIONS

Make your room and airline reservations directly with the resort (rooms tend to sell out early).  We are always concerned about having a sufficient number of rooms.  The room rate we have negotiated is extremely good for a resort hotel in the Phoenix area at this time of the year.  The rate is $189 per night, single or double occupancy.  If you plan on sharing a room and splitting costs with a friend, this would be a good time to start planning.  If you wait too long there may be no rooms available. There are also some triple and quad rates at $199 and $209 respectively.
