The food for the 2026 Passover program at Tapatio Cliffs is provided by Prestige Caterers. Their culinary operations are under the glatt kosher supervision of International Kosher Mehadrin, ensuring strict kashrut standards. Kosherica takes great care with the menu design, offering a broad variety of gourmet options at each meal. The combination of an experienced caterer and top-level supervision means guests can confidently enjoy every dish. And because Prestige is a gourmet caterer, the meals are not just “kosher for Passover” — they’re creative and high-quality.

Guests at the resort will enjoy full Passover dining, including breakfast, lunch, and dinner, all included in the cost. To accommodate different schedules, Kosherica provides early and late morning “Tea Rooms”, ideal for early risers or guests who prefer a relaxed start to the day. In the afternoons, there are barbecues and Chinese action food stations (except on Shabbat), which add fun variety to the menu. At night, guests can return to another Tea Room stocked with snacks, desserts, and drinks — a cozy spot for late conversations or winding down. Overall, the food program balances high-end dining with casual, flexible options so that everyone feels catered to.

The resort’s Passover 2026 program features a strong roster of scholars and inspirational teachers including Haviv Rettig Gur and Rachel Gur, Rabbi Chaim Steinmetz, Rabbi Ken Spiro, Rabbi Menachem Penner and Elyon Levy. These world-renowned speakers and lecturers are an integral component of the retreat. Kosherica’s programming emphasizes both “stimulating lectures and inspiring davening,” fostering an environment for reflection and learning. With this mix, guests can grow spiritually, intellectually, and communally throughout the holiday.

Evening entertainment at the Arizona Tapatio Cliffs Passover program is very lively and varied. Kosherica promises amazing singers and live music including Itzik Dadya and DJ Next Level, creating festive atmosphere each night. In addition, there are magicians, mentalists, a hypnotist, and themed nights to keep things fun, interactive, and surprising. The program is designed to be “non-stop fun,” so even after dinner, there’s something happening for adults and families alike. This makes the evenings feel like a real celebration — not just a typical resort stay, but a communal Passover festival.

The Hilton Phoenix Tapatio Cliffs boasts a “Waterfall Village” with two large pools surrounded by waterfalls. There’s an enclosed 138-foot water slide for guests who want more excitement, making it a fun experience for both kids and adults. For quieter moments, the resort offers private shaded cabanas and hot tubs, where you can unwind in a more secluded, peaceful environment. If you prefer to be pampered, there is a full-service luxury spa that offers massages, facials, and beauty treatments, giving you a chance to recharge. Between the pools, slide, and spa, the resort balances active fun with opportunities for deep relaxation.

One of the great advantages of this resort is its proximity to Phoenix North Mountain Preserve, where guests can hike or bike on scenic desert trails. For the more adventurous, Kosherica suggests Jeep or Hummer tours into the Sonoran Desert, offering rugged off-road adventure and beautiful vistas. There are also hot-air balloon rides, which give a breathtaking aerial view of the desert landscape — a memorable way to mark a holiday. On top of that, guests can visit local attractions like the Desert Botanical Gardens, Butterfly Wonderland, and the Arizona Science Center for enriching daytime excursions. These options make it easy to combine spiritual renewal with exploration and adventure.

Pricing for the 2026 Passover program is tiered based on the suite type and location. For example, a Deluxe One Bedroom Suite in an outside building (full stay) is priced at $15,900 for two people. The Signature One Bedroom Suite, which is more spacious and luxurious, costs $20,100 for the full stay in an outside building. There is an option to arrive early (“pre-night”), which adds a fee (e.g., $1,000 for the Deluxe suite). Additional guests (adults, teens, children) beyond the first two in the room have a separate rate, so families should check the pricing for extra-person charges. The pricing includes administrative fees, taxes, and service charges, giving transparency and clarity in what you’re paying for.

To secure a reservation, Kosherica requires a $4,000 non-refundable deposit per room at the time of booking. The final payment is due by January 15, 2026, after which all payments become non-refundable. Because of these strict terms, Kosherica strongly recommends purchasing travel insurance, ideally a “Cancel for Any Reason” policy, to protect your investment. This advice is consistent with their general Passover travel policy and helps guard against unexpected issues. The clear cancellation policy means that once you commit, you are largely locked in — so planning ahead and insuring is wise.

Kosherica offers a kids day camp at this resort, staffed by handpicked counselors who are energetic, caring, and experienced. They spend many months selecting these counselors in hopes that the children will love camp so much they’ll ask to stay all day. The camp includes a range of age-appropriate activities — crafts, games, sports, and more — designed to keep kids stimulated and happy. Teen programming is also available, giving older kids opportunities to build friendships, take part in meaningful conversations, and enjoy activities catered to their age group. This structure allows parents to attend lectures, relax, or engage in the adult program, confident that their children are safe, entertained, and well cared for.
