Fairmont Scottsdale Princess #FoodiesInPhoenix

July 6, 2015 By Jennifer @ PB and P Design 8 Comments

Hi Everyone,

Last week I got back from my trip from Phoenix, AZ and had the best time ever.  I was so inspired that I  have been bitten by the foodie bug and I have so many recipes I want to share with you.  But before I get to my recipes this week, I have to share with you the most amazing resort that I have ever stayed in.  It is the Fairmont Scottsdale Princess Resort.  This is one resort that will please every one of all ages.  The resort sits on 65 acres and I have to admit I did not get to see everything, but I wanted to share with you what I have seen.  First off the beautiful grounds.  I had so many pictures, but thought a little collage would be best.

Fairmont Resort Scottsdale, AZ

The resort has everything imaginable and you really have no reason to leave!  They have lots of shops, which I have to admit pretty decent pricing.  I bought two dresses for under $200.  They also have 6 restaurants on site; which include the following: LA HACIENDA BY RICHARD SANDOVAL, BOURBON STEAK, TORO LATIN RESTAURANT & RUM BAR, IRONWOOD AMERICAN KITCHEN, THE PLAZA BAR and POOLSIDE.  Plus one of my personal favorites, a full size Starbucks.  I got my Skinny Caramel Latte for breakfast, everyday.  I didn’t need a reason to leave the hotel at all!  You can only imagine how excited I was.  Just check it out!

The resort also has 3 Pools; the South Pool, Sonoran Splash and East Pool which all have full service bars, serving your favorite poolside cocktails and entrees.  When we got to the resort the first thing we all did was put on our bathing suits and meet up at the South Pool for girl talk, and cocktails.  One thing I didn’t see, which I wish I would have, was Sonoran Splash pool which has a water slide.  Perfect for the kids and adults.  With trips like this, the only problem is they have you on such a tight schedule that you do not get to enjoy all of the amenities the hotel has to offer.  At the South Pool I found the water warm, clear and has lounge chairs, cabana’s and waiters to come up to you asking if you would like some water, food or drinks.  I just charged it to my room.  🙂 Here are some photos of the South Pool.

For your fitness buffs they also have a 40,000 sq. ft. Well & Being Spa.  The Spa offers health, wellness, nutrition, fitness and advanced skincare.  I didn’t get to join the spa, but Susan and her daughter did one morning.  They did this:

That’s kind of not my thing.  Kind of scary if you ask me.  But I bet it was fun.  They also had this cool bike that had a blender on top.  Now this is more my speed.  I would love this bike for my home.  Workout and have a smoothie, my kind of living!  Hmmm…. I wonder how fast you have to peddle?

Fairmont Scottsdale Well & Being Spa

One thing I forget to mention which was my room.  I stayed in a Deluxe room with a king size bed.  The room also has a walk in closet, mini bar with refrigerator, and a balcony with a gorgeous view of the pool.  The bathroom was huge!  It had a double sink, a separate shower and bath tub, plus a scale so I can see how much weight I gained from all of the food I ate.  lol  I loved my room and only could imagine how gorgeous a suite would be.  After swimming, when I came back to my room I found a margarita bar and chips and salsa in my room.  How sweet is that?  Here is a picture of my room.

When I arrived to the hotel, you walk into the most stunning entry where you are greeted with smiles and welcoming hospitality. The bellman took my bags and walked me to my room and showed me around a little bit. His name was Jim and he was very pleasant and helpful.

Fairmont Princess Resort Scottsdale The hotel offers a lot of nightlife with outside bars, lights and music.  It would be fun to hang out with the girls at the fire pits and chat.  It is also nice for a romantic evening too.  They also have a person who rides around on the bike and hands out Chandon.  I think that is pretty darn cool.

Fairmont Princess Resort Scottsdale

One of the main attractions to the resort is the Two Tournament Players Club Golf Courses.  Golf is not my thing, but I know a lot of people like to play it. I’m more of a pool kind of girl. It is the most recognized Scottsdale Golf Resort, Home to the Waste Management Phoenix Open.  Here is the link, since I do not know too much about golf to be honest.  But I can tell you I saw it and it is green and gorgeous. 🙂

The resort also offers lots of family friendly fun such as pool toys, games, snacks, pool raft rentals, basketball, fishing, activities and crafts for kids.  So much to do.  I kid you not, you really have no reason to leave.  I think I could live there?

I will be sharing with you more about the resort later on, like my meal at the LA HACIENDA restaurant.  Amazing food, amazing service and a wonderful, friendly chef.

I really enjoyed myself on this trip and I want to thank Theresa from Food Hunters Guide for inviting me.

Oh here is one picture of Theresa, Me, Michelle, and Susan.  Fairmont Princess Resort Scottsdale

Have a wonderful day! Stay tuned tomorrow for a perfect summertime recipe to serve up at your next barbecue, picnic or just to have with lunch or dinner.

Toodles,

Jennifer

P.S. I stole this picture from the Fairmont Scottsdale Princess Resort.  Hope they don’t mind.

    Love the Scottdale’s aerial yoga! In the middle of the summertime, I prefer Phoenix hotels that have more generous swimming accommodations. Otherwise this place is gold!

I want to give my apologies to the folks in the Philadelphia area. I seemed to have brought the California rain with me when I was there Thursday-Saturday. 😂 Hopefully you got some sun after I left.

This is a view if my livingroom. I really like how I styled my console table. The bunny sign and egg tree are from my friends @12timbers. I’ll be sad when Easter is over.

Happy Tuesday!! Another dreary day at the Bay! I k Happy Tuesday!! Another dreary day at the Bay! I know I complain about the weather a lot, but this seriously blows my mind in how crappy it is here. I need to get into the garden. It’s my happy place.
🐰
Today I am sharing with you a spring vignette that I created. I just love tulips this time of year. Though, they seem to be out all year at Trader Joe’s, which is kind of strange. I can’t wait until they get peonies and lilacs. My two favorites.
🐰
The candles are from my friends @goldhillcandleco. They are hand poured, 100% soy and have a wooden wick. They smell so fresh and clean. These two candles are from the March subscription box. I highly recommend.

Happy first day of Spring! Though you wouldn’t k Happy first day of Spring! Though you wouldn’t know it in California. We are still getting rain and it’s in the mid 50’s. We should be in the 70’s by now. I wonder what the summer temps will be like this year?
🌺
Even though it may not feel like Spring,  there is no reason why we can’t start prepping for it. It’s going to be time soon to plant flowers, add a floral wreath to the front door and of course a welcome mat to invite everyone to your home. 
🌺
I wanted to share with you my new welcome mat that I got from @cocomatsnmore. They just had their Spring release and oh my gosh so many cute ones. I love there welcome mats. They are thick, bright colors and fast shipping. I absolutely love the flowers and the saying “Live Life in Full Bloom”. It’s so very true.
🌺
What are you most looking forward to this Spring?

Happy Monday! I did a little bit of Spring cleanin Happy Monday! I did a little bit of Spring cleaning this weekend. I wanted to give my kitchen counters the less is more look.
🫧
I did have a very hard time taking my sink tray off the counter. I’ve had the tray there for years, so I thought I would change it up. Don’t be surprised if the sink tray makes its way back. 😂 I may add some herbs to my window sill for some fresh green color.

Happy Friday! Our next winter storm is here! It is Happy Friday! Our next winter storm is here! It is just awful out there. Heavy rain, high winds and hail. This is not a winter that we are used to in California.

My husband and I are not fancy when it comes to eating dinner. Since it’s just the two of us, we never use the dining room table, but always eat at the kitchen counter.
🥕
There is no reason why we can’t eat fancy at the kitchen counter. I am using my new placemats that I got from @vmathome. They are thick, water, stain resistant and can handle heat up to 350F degrees. I love the color and style of the placemats. They have a wide variety of styles and colors, along with matching table runners.
🥕
I styled my table with bright spring colors that I was inspired by carrots. I still have bunnies on the brain. lol I had fun with this place setting, it’s so nice to have dinner with a little style then having it on a plain plate and paper napkins.
🥕
Have a wonderful weekend!!

Happy Monday! Hope you had a nice weekend. It went Happy Monday! Hope you had a nice weekend. It went way too quick. I can’t believe it’s Monday again. But on the plus side, I have a clean home to start the week, which is a great feeling.
🐰
I’m sharing with you my media table all decked out for Easter. I just love decorating for spring and Easter. Something about pulling out the bunnies that makes me smile. 
🐰
I am loving my Wanted Bunny sign that I got from @12timbers. I love that it’s a neutral color that will go with any style and color. The sign comes in three sizes, and you can choose the coloring of the background and design color.
🐰
The Jute Tree with the Eggs and the Wooden Bunnies are also from 12 Timbers. The Jute Tree is so much fun to add to your decor. I love the colors of the felt eggs. Plus I love the shape and the way the eggs hang off the branches. The Wooden Bunnies are just the cutest. You know me and bunnies. You can choose your bunnies in pink, white or stain. So much fun to add anywhere in your home.

Happy March 1st! Everyday is a day closer to Sprin Happy March 1st! Everyday is a day closer to Spring. I looked back last year at this time and my garden was starting to flourish. Boy you should see it now. It’s a big muddy mess. With all the rain and high winds we sure have a huge mess to clean. I can’t wait until we get some warm days. 
🐰
I’m sharing with you one of my favorite vignettes that I created last year. I may have a slight obsession with bunnies. Every year I say no more buying bunnies, but then I end up with a few more in my collection. Lol

Have a beautiful day!
