I just found this thread, I usually live in the Marriott forum.

My wife and I got married at this hotel. Not a hotel package, we bootlegged it, hired an officiant and stood in front of a cactus. It was great. During the day before the ceremony we rented a cabana in the spa, and basically had the entire spa pool to ourselves for the day. It was amazing.

The service here is top notch. The pool attendants remember our names and our drinks from day to day.

I love this hotel, and I am curious about the renovations. In my mind it really did not need anything.

Someone asked about the vibe, I’d say couples. I have seen kids here, but its not a “kids” resort.

Also, they have a desert tortoise here, and tons of bunnies everywhere.

Final thought, on saving some bucks on self parking. Sure, you can do it, but why? The whole idea of this place is indulging in luxury and being pampered. Is saving $100 really worth it over 4 days? Just my .02.
