$-$$$, North Central Phoenix
Fodor's Review:
The highlight of the family-oriented Squaw Peak is the 9-acre recreation area Hole-in-the-Wall River Ranch. It has swimming pools with waterfalls, a 130-foot water slide, and a 1,000-foot "river" that winds past a miniature golf course, tennis courts, and artificial buttes. Accommodations in the pink-stucco buildings vary from standard two-room suites to a grand three-bedroom house; all have balconies. The resort is adjacent to the Phoenix Mountain Preserve, making it an ideal base for hiking and biking trips. Kids can enjoy the "Coyote Camp" youth programs while adults take in area golf and the Tocasierra Spa.
