Is grand Canyon very hot now?

I was the Grand Canyon last week and it was not hot.  Was in the 70's.  This was at the rim though, not at the bottom of the canyon.
What do you do after your dreams come true?

Quote from: Grand Canyon Website
The South Rim, where Grand Canyon Village is located is 7,000 feet above sea level. This means a chance of snow in winter and cool nights in summer. High temperatures range from the 70′s to 80′s (21 – 27 ºC) in the summer months during the day to 30′s and 40′s (-1 – 4 ºC) during the winter.
However, if you plan to hike into the canyon below the rim, be prepared for much warmer conditions. In fact, summer temperatures along the Colorado River at the canyon bottom can reach as high as 120 ºF / 47 ºC.
If you want to hike into the canyon (which I highly recommend), I suggest you get a very early start
Life isn't about checking the boxes. Nobody cares.

Are there any over water bungalow options similar to the Maldives, where one would not have to shell out serious dough to get a confirmed booking with points ?
