Hilton Vacation Club Rancho Manana Phoenix/Cave Creek

Great set up for couples travelling together Nice resort, we had a room with 2 king bedrooms with ensuites. Great set up for 2 couples. Had dinner st Tonto’s on the property and it was very good. Stopping point for beginning of trip to Grand Canyon. Nice kitchen as well as covered patio. Didn’t get to pool as it rained but looked nice.

Wonderful The photos don't do it justice. The casita was huge, the balcony was roomy, both king bedrooms were a nice size, and both bathrooms were gigantic. The fireplaces are gas, so you can just turn them on and off. The kitchen was good-sized and had everything we needed, which wasn't much, because we walked to Tonto Bar and Grill for most of our meals. The entire place was impeccably clean. The grounds were pretty, the beds were comfy, the showers were roomy, and the casita had tons of natural light. We were there in the off season, so it very quiet and uncrowded. We found it wonderfully peaceful and relaxing. One of the most notable things about this place is the staff. Everyone we interacted with was extemely pleasant and helpful. Special shoutouts to Christina, who was able to change our room type, and Brad, who was able to extend our stay. We will be returning to this gem!

Genuine gem What a delight. The casitas are magnificent; for this kind of floor space and quality, you'd expect to pay closer to $1,000 a night. Obviously a July heatwave is "off season," but this was truly a splendid bargain. The landscaping around the two hot tubs and lavish resort pool make for much more than just a convenient recreational amenity. See it at mid-day and it's beautiful, see it at dusk (with shadowy saguaro in the background) and it's magnificent, see it at night and it's enchanting. The restaurant was surprisingly good, and the staff at Rancho Manana was top-rate from check-in to departure. Gracious, helpful, extremely competent. Admittedly, the idea of staying at a Hilton vacation club was initially concerning: The last thing you want on vacation is a line of salesmen in the lobby pressuring you into collecting 'free' gifts if you stop by for a 'brief' membership pitch. NONE of that happened whatsoever. Could not have enjoyed this stay any more than we did - unless it had been longer.

Anniversary Trip Our unit is beginning to show its age. With the weather being cold the unit did not hold heat very well. Especially around the front door which was not sealed at all. Overall the unit was clean and the appliances were also clean and in good working order. Another issue we had was with one of the beds. It was extremely hard and uncomfortable (at least for my wife and I). Fortunately we had the benefit of a second bed.

Don’t wait until mañana Really comfortable accommodations. Great fireplace to lounge around, which is what we did given the weather. Very quiet and peaceful. Love Tonto bar! Only negatives; the shower water temperature control was challenging. Either too hot or too cold. And there was someone else’s hair on the floor, together gives Rancho Mañana a 4 1/2.
