In early January 2009, we snagged an RCI one-bedroom condo extra vacation at the Legacy Golf Resort for less than $500/week. This property was highly rated on the RCI website and we felt fortunate to get to stay at this luxury resort at an economy price. The surroundings were beautiful with two large pools, golfing, restaurant, spa, tennis, and shuffleboard courts. The rooms were well-appointed with granite countertops, tile floors, and elegant bathrooms. Our unit was located with a view of the golf course and we enjoyed watching golfers tee off from our living room every day.
When we first walked in the condo, we were immediately thrilled with the accommodations. The decor was fresh and clean. The living, dining room, and kitchen were an open floor plan and welcoming.The temperatures were in the low 70's (warmer than Oregon, but cooler than we had expected) and even though we used the pool one day, it really wasn't warm enough to use the pool daily for swimming and sunning. So we took lots of long walks, relaxed reading books, visited the local Indian casinos (won a little $$$), and toured Scottsdale and Sedona. 
In our opinion, there was nothing negative about this resort. But some individuals may find it far away from the action. The resort, located south of Phoenix, has a "country" feel as you pass horses, flower/plant nursery's and small farms. For us, it was only a few minutes to all the places we wanted to go. There were good restaurants close by and not that far from several area casinos. (Sedona and Scottsdale were further.)
It was a fun, last minute vacation and well worth it. We would recommend Legacy Golf Resort to any RCI members as well as others who may wish to stay at this resort.
Canopies covered the bar area and some pool chairs. The canopies were not necessary during our stay since the weather was comfortable. If the weather was warmer, the canopies could be coveted shade for resort guests.
One of the many Scottsdale sculptures. Lots of areas to explore in Scottsdale...this is in their "old town" portion of the city.
These tours promote thrilling adventures exploring ancient ruins, gulches, scenic rims and more. We didn't want something quite that thrilling so we selected a "canyon tour" which was exactly as described in their brochure...."awe-inspiring beauty with a knowledgeable guide."
The "Pink Jeep Tour" was the highlight of our trip to Sedona and we can't wait to spend more time in this area and check out a couple more of their tours. We highly recommend considering one of their adventures. There is also a lot of hiking trails in the Sedona area, but we were unable to take advantage of those on this trip.
We enjoyed every aspect of this quick-trip to Arizona because there was so much to explore. It will be easy to return...as soon as we can find the time!
I still can't believe we couldn't convince Mark to go...big, huge bummer.
