To celebrate our 6th anniversary, Vincent and I decided to take a staycation at the luxurious Phoenician Resort in Phoenix, Arizona. Known for its opulent design, top-notch amenities, and stunning views of Camelback Mountain, this resort has long been on our list of places to visit. Our stay was nothing short of magical, and I’m excited to share the experience with you.

Arrival & First Impressions
From the moment we arrived at the Phoenician Resort, we were treated like royalty. The staff greeted us warmly, and the check-in process was smooth and efficient. As we walked through the grand lobby, we were captivated by the elegant décor, featuring marble floors, intricate chandeliers, and contemporary art pieces. The ambiance set the tone for the luxurious weekend ahead.
Our Suite
We stayed in one of the Phoenician’s premier suites, which boasted breathtaking views of the surrounding desert landscape and Camelback Mountain. The suite was spacious, with a comfortable king-sized bed, a cozy seating area, and a private balcony. The bathroom was equally impressive, featuring a deep soaking tub, a rain shower, and luxurious bath products that added a touch of indulgence to our stay.
Dining at the Phoenician
One of the highlights of our stay was the exceptional dining experiences at the resort. We indulged in a variety of culinary delights, each meal offering something unique and memorable.
- Breakfast at Mowry & Cotton: Our mornings started with a delicious breakfast at Mowry & Cotton, where we enjoyed farm-fresh eggs, artisanal bread, and freshly brewed coffee. The rustic-chic ambiance and attentive service made our mornings truly enjoyable.
- Lunch by the Pool at the Oasis Bar & Grille: For lunch, we opted to dine poolside at the Oasis Bar & Grille. The menu offered a range of light and refreshing options, including crisp salads, gourmet sandwiches, and tropical cocktails. Sipping on a piña colada while lounging by the pool was the perfect way to relax and unwind.
- Dinner at J&G Steakhouse: For our anniversary dinner, we dined at J&G Steakhouse, an upscale restaurant known for its prime cuts of beef and stunning views of the valley. The meal was exquisite, with each course perfectly prepared and beautifully presented. The highlight was the molten chocolate cake, a decadent dessert that was the perfect ending to a perfect day.
Activities & Relaxation
The Phoenician Resort offers a wide range of activities, and we made the most of our time there by exploring as much as possible.
- Poolside Relaxation: The resort has multiple pools, each with its own unique vibe. We spent most of our time at the adult pool, where we enjoyed the tranquil atmosphere and attentive poolside service.
- Spa Day at The Phoenician Spa: To fully relax and rejuvenate, we treated ourselves to a day at The Phoenician Spa. The spa facilities were top-notch, offering a range of treatments from massages to facials. We both opted for the signature Phoenician massage, which left us feeling refreshed and renewed.
- Exploring the Grounds: The resort’s grounds are beautifully landscaped, with lush gardens, serene fountains, and picturesque walking paths. We took a leisurely stroll one evening and were mesmerized by the beauty of the desert at sunset.
