Encore Paradise in
Sun City (AZ)

It's an 55+ RV/model home park, so no "rooms or service". The location is great, but the are not pet friendly, the quantity of amenities is insufficient for the number of residents and the maintenance/upkeep is not as good as would be expected for the price. The lots are dirt rather than rock/gravel so very dirty and causing lots of dust to invade the RVs.

Clean well kept. Lots of activities.

Great resort, friendly people and very welcoming pickleball club. The park and facilities are very well maintained! Staff were quick to resolve a site issue for us without hesitation.

Beware if you have a pet you camp to the far rear of the park so you will need to drive far to the park restrooms and showers which are 20 streets away.

Clean . well kept and comfortable Great amenities. They extended my stay by two weeks without any hassles or increase in price.

This is our third year staying at Paradise. We have really enjoyed our stays and hope the new entrance doesn’t mess with security and the ease of getting in and out of the resort. See ya next year!

This is a #Thousand Trails location and easy access. The park is quiet, clean and the local residents are very friendly and welcoming. For those who have electric bikes the streets are paved and safe. There are so many activities to participate in you can’t cover them all. There is a café on site that serves breakfast all day, along with homemade pies that are absolutely delicious. There is on site security around the clock a very safe environment. Your approximately 30 minute drive to Scottsdale, Arizona and I recommend visiting old town Scottsdale. Lots of good restaurants in the area and those who are RVing there are plenty of grocery stores and Walmart.

A great place to spend your winters.They have everything here.Lots of craft rooms. Pickleball (252 members) Lawn bowling, Volleyball in the pool,workout room. They have music bands every other week for 6 weeks starting in January .Close to everything.

Having lived here many years after purchasing a park model I must say we love the park and our neighbors. My complaints however as a responsible dog owner are the lack of enforcing the dog leash rules and the folks that let their dogs go to the bathroom on peoples lots. This behavior kills plants and smells bad! Once 1 dog pees then many more will follow that scent. There are grass areas at the end of every street for dogs to relieve themselves but some rude folks let their dogs go on occupied lots, on flower beds, etc. There is a 6 foot leash rule and retractable leashes are forbidden yet 90% of folks use the latter. There is no control of their pets such as the person walking the dog is on one side of the street and the dog is on the other or up in some ones yard. I have experienced this when riding my bicycle more than once. Park needs to enforce leash rule but they don't. Why have it in the rules if you are not going to enforce it? Also RV lots are dirt. Very little gravel if any! Spend some of our very high rent money and put some attention into the RV lots. Make them an attractive place where RVers want to stay at. And put in some trees, bushes, etc. Many RV concrete patio pads are broken and in disrepair. This is pathetic with what you charge people to stay here. It is also a trip hazard to many seniors. I know manager Scott's hands are somewhat tied but someone needs to stand up to corporate. Instead of making shareholders more wealthy put more money into the community to make it better instead of raising rent every year!

This is an upscale, modern senior mobile home/rv resort. Many amenities for everybody. If you are towing a trailer, be prepared to back in.....there are no pull-throughs, and the roads are narrow.

We came down with our RV just to check out the resort. We ended up buying a park model as a vacation home. Everything was perfect. All the other guest were very polite. Most employees were very thoughtful and polite. One employee I found (Duke) was rude at times. He would “butt” in while I was speaking to another person. He did this numerous times while we were there. He was somewhat condescending and seemed to not want to be there. As I said, 99% of employees were awesome! The office manager (Rachel) was absolutely the best. She was very helpful when we needed a question answered. We will enjoy Paradise RV Resort.

Paradise Encore Rv Resort, Sun City, appears to be a nice place to stay. However its policies may not make it the best fit for short term RVers just passing through. We encountered a problem with one of the policies due to a miscommunication with staff, October 3, 2024. It is important to note that management was very kind and professional in listening and addressing the issue. Much appreciated!

RV Park, not a hotel. Very nice staff, was the perfect spot to hook up and relax after a couple of months in the desert. The resort is more for park model RV’s and snowbirds. All of the property is immaculately kept and there are many things to do at the activity center but most were closed for the summer or at least very limited. I would really like to visit during the winter season to try some of the activities, that is if I could get a reservation.

It was an odd experience as I had to defend my age at every turn. If your going to say 55 plus restrictions why badger the 50 something year olds? If they want a senior non active resort change the rules to 80 plus year olds only. Then they want copies of your last 3 years tax returns to rent a slip. I received a warning she will be checking my id’s for my age? I’m beyond their 55 at least age requirement. Just a very very odd experience there but it was isolated to the front office woman and their Facebook page where they blocked me stating age restrictions….I’m 58 years old in August. It’s bizarre in their front office! Rethinking staying there.

Very nice park for 55+. We don't quite make the cut, but we're visiting family. There is plenty to do and a beautiful pool area. Clean and quiet too.

Stayed one winter season in our RV. Segregated pet owners to the back of the park 20th to 25th Street. Couldn't go past to even walk dog to get mail. Cafe was struggling but I understand now new management is operating it. Large pool, pickle ball courts, etc but no daily/weekly entertainment.

Double thumbs up for this amazing RV park! We stayed twice between Nov and Dec 2023, and can't rave enough about the location and top-notch customer service. Rachael's smooth check-in was just the beginning. Maggie & Anna Marie's personal touch of guiding us to our sites and ensuring everything was perfect, with genuine smiles and helpful tips, made us feel like valued guests. This park sets the bar for exceptional service! We'll definitely be back. :)

What an incredible gem! This beautiful place has so much to offer! First the site is perfect! Everything you ever wanted! The staff is amazing! This place is so clean and well ran. We miss the WiFi but use our cell phones as hot spots. They have more amenities and fun things to do than we can get done in our short visit but we look forward to returning! We are close to everything you want to do in Arizona.

Stayed here for two weeks while visiting friends nearby. Lots of activities. Everyone is friendly. Enjoyed the pool and spa. Lots are a bit close together but not too bad. Plenty of room for our vehicles.

My grandparents have been here since the late 80s, I've been visiting since the early 90s. Now my mom lives here (along with my grandma) and I have to say the park has improved a lot just in the last 5 years or so. It was never bad but now it is approaching luxury. Much better than it used to be. Just an opinion from a long term visitor of long term residents.

All in all the service and location was great for a night or two. It is far from restaurants but nothing an Uber ride won’t satisfy. We found the RV parking spots were barren and in the desert heat we were thankful for a/c. Too bad there are no trees for shade in the RV areas. We tried to take refuge in the big beautiful pool but sadly it was so warm that it wasn’t refreshing. If there isn’t a heat advisory no doubt it’s wonderful. Next time we’ll travel in the shoulder season and definitely recommend this location. It’s beautiful.

This is my home. The manager, Scott, is a delight. He and his staff work very hard to keep our resort on tip-top shape. We get treats at the pool on a regular basis. My fellow residents are supportive, friendly and fun. The whole atmosphere here is absolutely pleasant.

We stayed at the Encore Paradise RV Park in June 2023 due to an unexpected repair needed to our Rv. The park and people were very nice and accommodating. This is a 55 and over resort and I am sure it is incredible during the winter months. It seems most have left for the summer but those that stayed were so nice to us. The security people were friendly and did not hesitate to wave and say hi. The people in the office were great and welcomed us and provided lots of information. We spent a lot of time in the pool which was big and clean. I used the women’s locker room at the pool to shower off after swimming and it was clean but they were down to only 2 working showers. The laundry room was big and the machines took both cards and coins. I made sure to do all our laundry before we left since it was such a nice place. We used Starlink with no problems and att cellular was 5G and strong signal. We recommend this park and would come back as long as it was cooler temperatures (June temps were 90’s - 107 while we were there).

I am enjoying full-time quality RV living here. EVERYONE is friendly to me ! And I have made a container garden, mostly roses. I can live the life I want, not like the place I lived before where all management cared about was how soon it’s “guests” were leaving. Encore Paradise is fitting my needs and wants for retirement full-time living. There also is a large section for pet retirement life, too! And activities, pool, etc. The main noise is fighter jets from the Air Force base overhead practicing but i enjoy watching them and can’t hear them inside my trailer. It’s patriotic to see the military protecting all of us!

Staying here for 6 weeks in our RV. It's clean, seems to be well run and cared for. Lots of amenities, including a cafe for breakfast and lunch. Everyone is friendly. Reasonably close to shopping, etc. For us personally, we don't enjoy the daily (weekdays) flyovers from the air force base. The jets are very loud for about 10 to 15 minutes every hour until around dinner time. Otherwise, we're loving it here "in Paradise".

All staff we came in contact with were friendly, polite, and extremely helpful. Upon our late arrival, the security guard escorted us to our RV spot and assisted us with parking and hooking up our motorhome! He did not leave our site until our water, electricity, and sewerage were all working. The resort had an awesome and clean fitness center and many amenities. The grounds were well kept and the permanent residents were overly friendly. We would definitely stay here again!

This place is a well kept secret. My two friends who live here have Everything at their fingertips. They are able bodied and are free to travel. If you are less than able, this IS your next home. The place was busy when I visited, and I hear the Snow Birds vacate for the summer so it is less bustling. Like a resort with all the offerings. I enjoyed the restaurant with serious Home Made cakes and deserts. Staff was wonderful. Check it out, lots of shops or services as well as center where folks were tossing horse shoes when I was there.
