| May 31 is the deadline to guarantee prime season reservations |
|
In order to guarantee your reservations at Camelback Inn for the 2016-2017 Prime Season, your request must be received no later than May 31, 2016. Reservation requests received after that date will be accommodated on a space available basis.
The fastest and easiest way to make your reservations is on line. When you have signed on to the web site, choose the CBI Reservations page from the drop down menu. Select your arrival and departure dates from the calendar, note any special requests and click submit. You will receive an email confirmation from the Camelback Reservations Team the next business day.
You can also make reservations by calling CBI Reservations at 480-367-6170, a dedicated line for condo owners only. Please do not call any other Marriott Reservations number to reserve vacation time at your Camelback unit.
If you attempted to make reservations early in the week, you may have found that the site was not functioning since our engineers were installing upgrades to the system. The upgrades are now complete and everything on the site is working properly. We apologize for any inconvenience you may have experienced.
