Getting there

There is a nonstop flight from New York (JFK), about 5 hours in the air.

Phoenix (PHX) has nonstops from New York JFK, Newark, Miami, Los Angeles, Chicago O'Hare, Toronto, London Heathrow and Paris Charles de Gaulle.

Most guests fly into Phoenix Sky Harbor, about 25 minutes from the resort.

Routes come from each airport’s published route list, checked October 2026. Flight times are estimates from the distance. Airlines change schedules, so confirm before you book (route list we used).

From the airport

  • Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport (PHX): about 25 minutes by carThe main Phoenix airport.

Driving instead

  • From Las Vegas: about 4.75 hours
  • From San Diego: about 5.25 hours

Late April weather

Hot, dry and sunny, with days around 87°F (31°C) and nights near 62°F (17°C).

Good to know

  • A car is the easiest way to get around; the resort is in north Phoenix, away from the main sights.
  • Arizona does not change its clocks, so in April it is on the same time as Los Angeles, three hours behind New York.
  • It is already hot and very dry; hike early in the morning and carry plenty of water.

Safety and travel advisories

What governments say about travel to this country. Nothing here is this site’s own judgment.

Safety information for the United States

The US State Department does not publish an advisory for its own country. Other governments do publish advice for visitors, and local police departments publish crime figures for their own cities.

This is the governments’ own wording, not a rating by this site. Israel’s National Security Council also publishes travel warnings for Israelis abroad. Ask the operator what security the program itself arranges, such as guards and entry checks.
