A Day at the Pool Is an Afternoon in Paradise

Do you want to be really, horribly, obscenely pampered this summer? The Arizona Biltmore Resort & Spa is just the place with their new poolside amenities including Pool Valets, refreshing chilled towels and four special-occasion poolside party packages that make hanging by the Paradise Pool even more fun and pampered this year, particularly for guests who opt to enjoy the day in one of the private poolside cabanas.

The Arizona Biltmore Resort & Spa is nestled on 39 acres at the foot of Phoenix Mountain Preserve. The legendary “Jewel of the Desert” stands out from others of its kind with its distinctive architecture inspired by Frank Lloyd Wright, luxurious facilities, and storied history as a playground of the rich and famous. Facilities include 738 guest accommodations including 78 one- and two-bedroom villas; eight swimming pools; seven tennis courts; full-service spa, salon, and fitness center; two 18-hole championship golf courses and an 18-hole putting course; Four-Diamond dining in Wright’s, traditional favorites and Southwestern fare at the Biltmore Grill & Patio.

If you love being in a pool, this place won’t disappoint. In addition to the fact that there are eight swimming pools, they also boast a 92-foot waterslide; in-water bar and dining; poolside dining; beverage service anywhere in the pool area; a variety of poolside games and activities; and a poolside spa offering massages, manicures and hair braids. The spacious and comfortable cabanas encircling the Paradise Pool feature all of the amenities one would expect.

“Savvy, sophisticated travelers have discovered that the cabanas, with all their private comforts and amenities, ensure maximum enjoyment of their time at poolside,” said Daniel Pollock, manager of pool operations. “Rather than rushing down to try and grab a good spot at the pool, as happens at resorts worldwide, your personal luxurious poolside environment is ready and waiting for you.”

In case you’re not drooling in anticipation yet – there’s more. Adding a personal service touch, for all guests not just cabana renters, are the new Pool Valets. They welcome guests upon arrival, help them settle in comfortably and assist with any needs. Stationed at the main gate and at the center of the pool area, the valets provide towels, walk guests to a location of their choice or their private cabana, set up the towels on the lounge chairs, explain about the facilities including the different pools, introduce the guests to their server, and assist with special requests such as reservations at the resort’s restaurants.

And now the cabana experience has been enhanced with the addition of customized Cabana Packages to celebrate special occasions, honeymoons, anniversaries and birthdays as well as indulge your chocolate cravings in the fun atmosphere of a cabana. Enhancing the decadence of the cabana experience are the new chilled and fruit-scented refreshing towels, provided with meals. Dipped in a grapefruit-extract solution, rolled and refrigerated, the towels are a cleansing refresher to conclude a delicious poolside lunch or snack at your cabana table.
