Horrible experience and mistreated
Pros:

Please be aware of the racist employees, pool security , supervisors and staff. My husband and I checked out immediately after being targeted at the pool for having an ice chest with 3 white claws and waters , fruit and energy drinks. My husband set up our chairs at the pool and a red shirt employee staff approached him and requested to see inside cooler, he complied but asks him to not place his hands inside.( I have auto immune disease and can get sick .) Other guests had ice chests wagons and were not approached or checked. We were the only Hispanic couple at the pool. Robbie pool supervisor came and advised us no outside beverages or food are allowed contrary of red shirt Ronan first claimed only 3 drinks per person, which we had . Supervisor Robbie said “ can’t we read the rules are clear and do you even have a room , what’s your room number. “ He basically called us stupid and that we need to leave if we are not allowed to be there with our food and drinks. While everyone else is enjoying themselves. We went to front desk put a complaint with front desk manager and I requested to check out early. The apology was not genuine and I heard sorry 6 times and she wrote on a post it , I have anxiety and after being harassed and followed to our car when we drove up to the main lobby ,
I will never come back here.

Desert Fun in the Sun
Pros:

Love the location of our room in proximity to the Snake Bites pool. The villa is a perfect size for our family of 3. The villa also has all things needed for potentially longer stays including a full-size kitchen & washer & dryer.

Cons:

The daily parking rate is too expensive

Great hotel for family Marriott's Shadow Ridge II – The Enclaves
Pros:

Our family looks forward to staying at Marriott's Shadow Ridge II – The Enclaves every single year, and once again, they exceeded all of our expectations. It truly feels like our home away from home, and every visit reminds us why we keep coming back.
From the very beginning, the service was outstanding. The pre-arrival email communication and coordination were seamless, making everything easy before we even arrived. At check-in, we were welcomed with genuine warmth and professionalism, and throughout our stay we received exceptional assistance through text messages whenever we needed anything.
A very special thank you to Angelica C., Shannon Zuberbuhler, and Breanna Colins from Guest Services. They were absolutely amazing—friendly, caring, professional, and always willing to go above and beyond to make sure every one of our needs was taken care of. Their kindness and dedication made our vacation even more special.
The entire resort is exceptionally clean and beautifully maintained. Our villa was spotless, comfortable, spacious, and had everything we needed for a perfect family vacation. The housekeeping and maintenance teams clearly take great pride in their work.
The Snake Bites Pool is one of our favorite places. It's always clean, has plenty of lounge chairs, and creates such a fun atmosphere for families. We especially loved watching the kids' movies on the giant TV during both the day and the evening. Please keep showing children's movies during the daytime—it adds so much to the family experience! Watching the World Cup games on the big screen was also fantastic and brought everyone together.
Every staff member we encountered was welcoming, professional, and genuinely eager to help. The level of hospitality throughout the resort is truly outstanding.
We highly recommend Marriott's Shadow Ridge II – The Enclaves to anyone looking for a relaxing, family-friendly vacation with exceptional service, beautiful accommodations, and an incredible team that truly cares about its guests.
Thank you to everyone at Marriott's Shadow Ridge II – The Enclaves for another unforgettable vacation. We can't wait to return again next year!

Once we got checked in and drove to our distant room, everything was okay.
Pros:

Pretty grounds, well-designed room, good price. "Giuseppe's" - the Italian restaurant on the campus - was excellent and friendly.

Cons:

A huge place like that and they still want $30 to park? It all felt very corporate and cold. Bad signage. We drove around a while just trying to find where to check in. When we did, we approached the front desk and were greeted with harsh, vague orders to "do something" we didn't understand. It turned out we needed to wait behind a line forty feet back from the front desk even though there were only two or three people ahead of us. I've been in a million hotels and I've never seen anything like that before.

Overall no other problems or issues
Pros:

The staff is always nice and friendly. Always a good time with friends and family at the pool. I rented a one room villa and it was perfect

Cons:

The location of my room. I called a couple of days previously prior to my stay and requested a floor room due to my mom using a cane/ walker and ended up on 2nd floor instead
