The Westin Desert Willow Villas is a fantastic destination for families, especially with its multiple pool areas that cater to all ages. The service is truly exceptional, making you feel valued right from the booking process to your stay. The villas are spacious and well-equipped, perfect for longer stays. However, the dining options, while good, can be a bit on the pricier side, and the property can get quite lively, which may not suit those seeking tranquility.

I had a wonderful trip at the resort with my family, especially enjoying the spacious villa that was well-stocked and perfect for our needs. The pool facilities were fantastic and provided a lot of fun, but I found that the activities after dinner were quite limited, requiring us to venture off the property. The check-in process was quick and the staff were friendly; however, I expected a little more in terms of management responsiveness after a minor mix-up with our room.
