content: Was actually somewhat disappointed with our experience here.  My daughter and I booked spa treatments to celebrate her recent college graduation and the imminent start of her first job, and showed up a bit  early so we could have lunch and enjoy the facilities.   The setting is absolutely beautiful - Camelback Mountain is RIGHT THERE - but I thought the resort itself was a bit underwhelming... particularly the pool and spa area.    We ended up having lunch at the restaurant Elements.  Great table with a wonderful view, attentive service, but the food was a complete disappointment.  We started with charred edamame - something we usually love, but it had the most unpleasant-tasting marinade/sauce over it.  Not sure if it was vinegar- or citrus-based, but it did not taste good.  I also ordered the lobster bisque and, although it had a seafood taste to it, I couldn't find a single piece of lobster in it.   They make a presentation of delivering the bowl with an assortment of minced items in it, to which they then ladle the cream over.   Perhaps it was just because it was minced so small, but I couldn't find a single piece that had the texture and taste of lobster.  Given we were there for a special occasion and wanted to keep the mood happy and upbeat, we didn't voice our complaints to the waitress, although I was somewhat surprised she didn't notice/ask why we only ate a few of the edamame.    For our main course we had the grilled cheese sandwich and the omelet - both were just okay, nothing I would go back for or order again.   Same could be said of our spa experience.... okay, but nothing special.  Given the number of top-notch resorts/spas in the area, there was nothing about our experience here that would inspire us to come back.    Disappointing, because although it was our first visit here, we had the impression the resort was one of the premier ones in the valley.    Our experience didn't bear that out.
