“We are thrilled to unveil our wide-ranging renovation, a testament to our commitment to delivering our absolute best in guest experiences here at Arizona Grand Resort & Spa,” said Paul Gray, general manager. “This transformation has enhanced many aspects of our resort, and we can’t wait for guests to enjoy these innovative features.”
The 744 guest suites and villas join the 7-acre Oasis Water Park, an 18-hole championship golf course, an athletic club and spa, and more than 120,000 square feet of indoor and outdoor meeting and event space. The $10 million renovation also brought a trio of redesigned hospitality suites with immersive entertainment systems and cutting-edge appliances. Substantial upgrades to the meeting spaces enhanced functionality and the public areas underwent a transformation with upgraded pools, a redesigned lobby, a refreshed athletic club and spa, and the refurbished Aunt Chilada’s Tempe restaurant.

Dec 8, 2025Peru’s New Airport Plans to Welcome More Travelers to Cusco and Beyond
As of now, travelers visiting Cusco and Peru’s Sacred Valley typically fly in and out of Alejandro Velasco Astete International Airport, but that’s all about to change. In late 2026 the new Chinchero International Airport is slated to open and replace the existing Cusco airport (CUZ). Currently, international travelers typically fly into Lima’s Jorge Chávez International Airport and then connect to CUZ, but once Chinchero opens, it will offer more direct flights to Cusco and the Sacred Valley. The new airport, not yet assigned an IATA code, will be eight times larger than the existing airport, with the intent to increase flight capacity and provide an easier way to visit the popular destination.
