Vista Casita

The Vista Casita has a mountain view. Four Seasons Resort Scottsdale at Troon North sits in the Sonoran Desert at the foot of Pinnacle Peak, so the setting is open desert and mountain scenery rather than a city skyline. The casita is reached via exterior corridors.

The room offers 1 King Bed or 2 Double Beds and sleeps up to 4 guests in 500 sq. ft. A free rollaway/extra bed is available on request and a crib is complimentary. If you want a particular bed set-up, mention it when you book.

The Vista Casita does not come with a private plunge pool. The resort reserves plunge pools for select suites. Casita guests use the resort's three heated saltwater pools: a bi-level main pool, an adults-only pool and a children's pool. All three are open 24 hours a day for overnight guests. Poolside cabanas are complimentary and first-come, first-served, and a limited number of premium cabanas can be reserved for a fee.

The bathroom has a separate bathtub and shower. It is stocked with designer toiletries, plush towels, bathrobes, slippers and a hair dryer, so you can soak after a day on the desert trails or in the sun.

Yes. The casita sleeps four, connecting rooms are available for larger groups, and a free crib and rollaway bed can be arranged. The resort offers the complimentary Kids For All Seasons club for ages 5 to 12, daily from 9:00 am to 5:00 pm. Children age 4 and under are welcome there with a parent or guardian. There is also a children's pool and a playground.

Yes, with the king bed configuration it works well for two. The resort has an adults-only pool section kept quiet and separate from the family area. The spa has 14 treatment rooms, three of them for couples. The Nopal Massage and Prickly Pear Renewal body treatment are among its desert-inspired signature treatments. Onyx Bar & Lounge offers sunset views of Pinnacle Peak and live music on weekends.

Room service is available 24 hours through in-casita dining. On property, Talavera, the modern Spanish steakhouse, serves dinner Wednesday to Sunday from 5:00 pm to 9:00 pm. Proof, An American Canteen, serves breakfast, lunch and dinner. Saguaro Blossom, by the pool, serves lunch, snacks and cocktails from 11:00 am to 5:00 pm daily.

Check-in begins at 4:00 PM and check-out is at noon. A mandatory daily resort fee, quoted at around $57 to $63 per night depending on the booking source, covers concierge service, fitness center and pool access, in-room bottled water and coffee. Parking charges vary by source, so check the current rate with the resort when you book. Guests should bring a credit card and photo ID, and the main guest must be at least 18.

Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport is about 40 to 45 minutes by car. The resort does not offer complimentary airport transfers, and a rental car is practically essential in this part of north Scottsdale. Nearby, Pinnacle Peak Park is about 0.4 to 0.6 miles away, and the resort lends free bikes and hiking poles. Troon North Golf Club is about a 6-minute drive, with priority tee times and a free shuttle for guests. Sedona is roughly a 2-hour drive.
