Nestled on the shores of Thompson Bay, The Nautical is one of Arizona’s most luxurious resorts — a tropical paradise with beautiful views of the lake and mountains. Boasting 139 rooms and suites, it’s a great place to stay any time of the year. Families might be most comfortable in the Cove Suite, which boasts two queen beds and a living area with a sofa sleeper. The most spacious option is the Executive Suite, which can sleep up to eight guests. Every room includes a fridge, microwave, coffee maker, wireless Internet, and daily maid service.

A wide variety of onsite activities are available to entertain guests of all ages. Parents will appreciate golf, shopping, and boat rentals, while children love splashing at the Kids Zone Waterpark. Then, of course, everyone enjoys going for a swim in the Caribbean-style infinity-edge pool and going down to the steps-away beach. It’s safe to say that the Nautical has something for everyone. Throughout the year it is also host to events like concerts, car shows, and even a balloon festival.

Onsite you’ll find three restaurants and bars. At the Turtle Grille, you’ll enjoy a relaxed comfortable indoor atmosphere and American food. At WET guests find a contemporary menu to order from as they relax in the poolside Cabanas. Finally, at the Turtle Beach Bar, you’ll be able to put your toes in the sand as you sit at an umbrella table sipping a tropical island drink.
