When is the best time to go to Wind Drift?

The best time to go to Wind Drift is during the spring (March to May) and autumn (September to November) months. During these periods, the weather is pleasantly warm and sunny, with average daytime temperatures ranging from 20°C to 30°C. This makes it ideal for outdoor activities such as hiking, exploring the desert landscapes, or enjoying the town's outdoor patios and events without the extreme heat of summer or the cooler evenings of winter. You'll find comfortable conditions for visiting popular spots like the Wind Drift Botanical Gardens or taking a stroll through the historic Old Town. For those looking to avoid crowds and potentially find better value on accommodation, visiting in late spring (April-May) or early autumn (September-October) can be particularly good.

Can I cancel my hotel reservation on Expedia?

Many Expedia hotel reservations are refundable, provided that you cancel before the hotel’s cancellation deadline – this is often within 24-48 hours of your scheduled arrival. If you have a non-refundable booking, it might still be possible to receive a refund if you cancel it within 24 hours of booking. Be sure to check your booking confirmation for the exact cancellation policy. For maximum flexibility, use our "Fully refundable property" filter during your search to find the right Wind Drift hotel for you.

How much is the nightly rate at a Wind Drift hotel?

Top Wind Drift Hotel Reviews

Omni Scottsdale Resort & Spa at Montelucia

8/10 Good

"The property is aging but they’ve spent some money on updating the furniture throughout the amenities. The rooms need updating as furniture was peeling and carpets were stained. Additionally, I don’t feel that the staff is trained on top tier service. Bartender was reading a book at the bar and pool staff ignored us for 15+ minutes despite walking by frequently. When I flagged someone down was told service was ending in 2 minutes, no apology. Management needs a change."
