Ideally Placed for Southwest Adventures
One of the biggest selling points of Marriott’s Canyon Villas is none other than its fantastic location. Staying at this resort, we had easy access to some of the Southwest’s most stunning attractions. The Grand Canyon and Sedona’s red rocks were just a drive away, making it perfect for day trips without having to change accommodations.
What we particularly loved was the resort’s balanced setting. While we were surrounded by Arizona’s dramatic desert landscape, we weren’t isolated from urban amenities. Phoenix and Scottsdale’s vibrant arts scene, entertainment venues, and cultural attractions were all within convenient reach. This meant we could spend one day exploring natural wonders and the next enjoying city life.
The resort also thoughtfully provides free bikes, which are perfect for exploring the immediate surroundings. It gave us a more intimate way to experience the local area and desert environment at our own pace.

One-Bedroom Villa
Marriott’s Canyon Villas offers two types of accommodation, which include villas and regular guestrooms. For our stay, we chose the one-bedroom villa as we thought the two-bedroom was too big. It turned out our pick was exactly what we needed. The 825 sq ft space was more than adequate for our group, and we loved the thoughtful layout. The living area became our favorite spot to unwind, featuring an incredibly comfortable plush sofa that made movie nights feel extra special.
One of the highlights was the private kitchen – a true game-changer for our stay. Having the ability to prepare our own meals allowed us to enjoy leisurely breakfasts and intimate dinners in the luxurious dining area. The private balcony also deserves special mention. We found ourselves gravitating there for morning coffee and evening drinks, soaking in the views while enjoying our meals al fresco. It’s these moments that really elevated our stay from good to memorable.
Moreover, the bathroom was immaculately maintained, featuring a relaxing bathtub that was great for relaxation. The attention to cleanliness throughout the villa was notable. Every surface sparkled, and everything felt fresh and well-maintained.

Fun for All
The amenities at Marriott’s Canyon Villas didn’t disappoint, too. We loved having 24/7 access to the fitness center. We were thankful for it as it allowed us to maintain our workout schedule, even on vacation. The mix of cardio and strength equipment meant we could do a complete workout. The clubTHRIVE fitness classes were a great bonus, and we particularly enjoyed unwinding in the steam room afterward. If you don’t want to lift weights, you can try other exercises as the hotel has on-site basketball and volleyball courts, too.
The pools were definitely the highlight of our stay. We spent countless hours enjoying the three distinct swimming areas. The lap pool was perfect for our morning swims, while the relaxation pool became our go-to spot for afternoon lounging. We’re sure your kids won’t get enough of the Lizard Lagoon and Splash Pad! In addition to that, we also loved soaking in the whirlpool while watching the sunset. Have fun exploring each Marriott Canyon Villas pool!
What made these amenities even better was how they catered to both adult relaxation and family fun. We never felt like we had to compromise. There was truly something for everyone in our group.
“We loved taking a dip in the relaxation pool. An hour felt like a minute there!”

A Taste of Phoenix
What about the dining options at Marriott’s Canyon Villas? The resort offers a mix of casual poolside dining and quick-service options. While the selection is somewhat limited, we found them more than enough for our stay.
The star of the show is undoubtedly Canyon Springs Bar & Grill, where we spent several afternoons soaking in the Arizona sunshine. The outdoor seating arrangement perfectly complements Phoenix’s famous weather. We appreciated how the space seamlessly blends a casual poolside atmosphere with proper dining service. We found ourselves gravitating here not just for the tried-and-true American classics but also for the social atmosphere. It’s clearly designed as a gathering spot, and we saw many groups of families and friends using it as their meeting point throughout the day.
For those mornings when we needed a quick caffeine fix or afternoon snack runs, The Marketplace Express was our savior. The Starbucks coffee offering was a welcome sight for our early risers, and the grab-and-go food options saved us on several occasions when we needed a quick bite between activities.
