Summer has just about slipped by and the emergence of fall is starting
to tinge the foliage, as Pacific Northwesterners head into the gray
days to come.
To help manage the relentless rain and ennui of winter, plan a few
days escape to warm and sunny Phoenix. From fall to spring, Phoenix,
Arizona's climate is ideal for outdoor activities. A perfect location
for an inclusive respite is the Pointe South Mountain Park Resort. Located
on 300 acres at the base of South Mountain Park in Phoenix and a convenient
six miles from Sky Harbor International Airport, the Pointe offers an
affordable getaway. Imagine taking a stroll across a sky bridge on your
way to a warm evening swim. A tranquil moon illuminates gently swaying
palm trees and lush botanical garden paths, ringed with fountains and
ponds on the grounds below.
The unobstructed view of the surrounding stunning resort suites contains
landscape marvels hidden around every corner. The spontaneous desire
to explore and discover the architecturally fashioned Spanish Mediterranean
edifices and desert scenery are among the many compelling experiences
that await the curious traveler.
This beautiful oasis is a complete destination resort with 640 suites,
six swimming pools (including a lap pool), a championship golf course,
full-service spa, whirlpools, fitness facilities, tennis courts, six
dining establishments, mountain hiking and a long list of other sports
activities, relaxation alternatives and amenities.
The newest addition to the resort's grounds is an amazing water park
that will be open in the spring of 2002.
The Pointe is geared for families, business travelers or a couple seeking
a romantic interlude. The resort has just gone through an eight million
dollar redesign of all its suites. The look and feel is fabulous! It
includes feather-top mattresses, leather headboard and arm chairs, lovely
marble-top counters and vanities, etc. The guest suites are exceptional
in the quality of their décor and distinctive in their harmonious
design.
There are several resorts in Phoenix, but what makes the Pointe so
incomparable is the staff. You won't find any weakness in the chain
with this top-notch group that is genuinely friendly, professional and
able to handle any problem small or large. Jessi Hoogesteger, head concierge,
is gracious and knowledgeable. Well-versed in all of the resort's activities,
programs and dining facilities, Hoogesteger will help you set up a round
of golf or assist you in making an appointment for a heavenly Swedish
massage with a rejuvenating Salt Glow at the complete and luxurious
spa facilities.
If shopping is a necessity, the hotel shuttle provides transportation
