I was at the board meeting two years ago when renovations were discussed. Are other TUGGERS spending too much time on the couch? Phoenix is an outdoor activity town. Get off the couch and enjoy the sunshine!
The kitchen is all new and very classy. Our favorite improvement is the bar stools. They were too deep before and hard to pass around. The stools are now more comfortable and smaller.
The resort has new synthetic pillows. Dust is a big problem in Phoenix and old pillows push my allergies. I usually go to Target and buy a new pillow. This visit I am able to sleep well on the resort pillows.
The sheets fit better. We have king fitted sheets that stay tucked in.
The studio has a mini kitchen upgrade: it now has a 3/4 size fridge, a microwave and a sink/counter-top work area.
The tables have sensible laminate tops. The old table was real wood and did not hold up to heavy daily use. The new tables hold up and are easier to clean.
The living room TV is bigger and has convenient inputs. You can plug your device into the rear of the TV. My wife had to figure it out, but, the inputs are combination component and A/V. Component video is red/green/blue. A/V video is Yellow. I used the flashlight on my iPhone to see that the green input is 1/2 green and 1/2 yellow. I was able to plug in my camera and see pictures of antelope canyon on the big screen.
I counted less than a dozen people at the pool on Tuesday and it was 80 degrees and sunny. That is a great advantage of Canyon Villas. I also played the Faldo golf course at the JW on Monday.
