This was our 3rd visit to Squaw Peak. We are fairly picky travelers and don't have a single problem to report with this resort. I will say If you don't have kids I'd pick another place.
Yes, the River Ranch was packed for Spring Break but what do you expect? Kids everywhere were very happy. Lots of activities to be a part of if your kids want. We'd arrive around 11 with no chairs available until about 4 but it was fine as we were in the water or golfing anyhow. We did go to the small pool by our Casita a couple times where there were chairs and no one else there. Very quiet if the Ranch is too busy for you.
The staff was so friendly and helpful, we kept commenting about how nice they all were. We had lunch everyday at the pool and were really happy with the food. Actually better than the last time we were there. They had a movie night at the pool on Friday night that was fun for kids. Also a Family Fiesta night that had crafts, etc by the Coyote Camp.
We stayed in a Casita for the first time and really liked it. Very quiet with the condo feel instead of a hotel room. It was very clean, we have no complaints.
Dinner one night at the Hole in the wall restaurant by the pool. Just ok. Walked down to Aunt Chiladas which is consistently decent. We did get a ride from the hotel van which is really convenient just for a tip to the grocery store near by ( food is cheap in Phoenix, and grocery stores sell hard liquor that was also less), we had dinner one night at the Phoenix Grille which was delicious with great service, also pizza that was awesome at Spinatos.
