Any suggestions were to stay for shabbos in Phoenix

If you want Phx, not Scottsdale, the eruv website has a list of close hotels.

is there really a big difference between the pink jeep tour and any other company?

Yes. Can't compare, firsthand experience on pink jeep, compared to others experience on diff tours.

Has anyone went on the Dolly Sreamboat? Is it worth it?

WA Biltmore and Hilton squaw Peak are closer than that to Phoenix shuls.

two separate properties, but villas people can go over to the resort & Spa and use their bigger grounds (lazy river/surfing machine etc, though note surfing costs $ for anyone). pool at villas when i was there in august was mostly empty so spent lots of time there switching over occassionally to the fuller resort grounds for the river and surfing. that surfing experience is a real chavayah, highly recommended.

Why would you go to westin villas over resort and spa?
And can Andaz be booked with hyatt free night?

westin villas 12k a night resort and spa 20k a night.
And the rooms at the villas were very large.
And finally, as a villas guest you have access to all the resort amenities. That's without having to oy the resort fee.

+1. The question is why would you possibly want to stay at the hotel. The villas have a separate, less crowded pool that is heated better and if you do want to use anything at the resort, you can.

when I was there the resort pool was actually empty. One day we were the only ones there.

And the surfing is definitely worth it IMO

Best in terms of? The only thing I can think of is to go when the heat is a bit less oppressive. Probably first tour of the day.

Anyone kayak on Lake Powell before?

Here's a recommendation for those vacationing in the Arizona area (especially in the Page area in the summer): pick a time and set an old style clock to it. Sometimes the vehicle's clock is fine, but I'm not sure about newer model cars. Between AZ not doing DST, NV in another time zone, and the Navajo nation on its own time (Antelope Canyon), we had a hard time knowing how much time elapsed between various things. This can be important for medical and halachic reasons (we dealt with both).
