What owners have to say about this Marriott timeshare:

Several Marriott timeshare owners stayed at this beautiful desert resort this past summer and one family that stayed in the Villages section commented they “would definitely recommend this resort, especially for families”.  They enjoyed the children’s activity center and especially appreciated that guests could borrow various board games without a fee.  They also enjoyed the movie that was shown at the pool on the weekend.

They went on to say how much they “loved the location of the resort.” They visited the Living Desert and the Children’s Museum and said “both were great and definitely was one of the better children’s museums we have been to”. They added, “The Living Desert is only open in the mornings in summer so make sure you get there as soon as it opens. All the attractions are quite close by and easy to get to with a car.”

Another family stayed in the Enclaves section earlier in the summer and commented about the balcony off the living room which “was a really large and furnished with some comfy loungers and tables. We spent a lot of time on this lovely space.”

They commented, “The Snakebites pool is in the Enclaves area and consists of a large pool with a zero entry, a small beach area for kids to play in, two hot tubs and one smaller traditional pool. There are ample shaded lounging areas and a little snack bar called Snakebites.”

Both families enjoyed the larger pool area in the Chuckwalla area, and observed “it is more in the center of the Villages section of the resort. The Chuckwalla area has a water slide for kids as well as the MAZE activity center.”
