High-end re-charging in the Southwest, done right. Alvadora Spa is a vintage Spanish Colonial home that we thoroughly enjoy. Old world-style rooms, including fireplaces and bedrooms fit for visitors who love the feeling of being in another world. Moving along to the pool, the cabanas are right next to the water, but also perfectly positioned to see the luscious Phoenix environment. Some of the amenities include a rustic-chic cocktail lounge, a Mediterranean-inspired restaurant, and a breezy bar next to the pool and hot tub. This is one Citywide Spotlight featured destination worth every penny.  - Jordan Dietterich of Surfside, Florida
