There’s two pools to relax by, or visit the spa for an array of treatments that will have you feeling like you’re on a secluded island somewhere! You’re just moments from the shopping and golf that Palm Springs is famous for, and parking is included in the resort fee. You don’t need to leave the resort really though – you’re spoilt for choice when it comes to food. Enjoy a steak at JWB Grill, quasedillas by the pool, or grab a takeaway pizza and enjoy it on your balcony when you book a Deluxe Room.

“Little or no hospitality”
Apr 13, 2026Ellen Y
We stayed 4/6-4/8/2026. I'm sorry to say this was the worst experience as a hotel guest. When we arrived at 4:30pm, not only were we told our room we reserved in advance was not ready, but they could not give an estimate of when our room would be ready. Only after escalating to the manager did we get a room.
The next morning, we tried to find where our complimentary breakfast was served. We asked at least 3 staff members, including front desk, and no one could give us an answer, nor did they seem to care.
We were told another party had reserved one pool and one restaurant on the property. This resulted in the open pool being very crowded and noisy. The situation made us feel very unwelcome as paying guests.

“Great for relaxing pool days!”
Mar 29, 2026smnunez2018
We stayed during Spring Break. We were looking for a resort to spend a couple of pool days with our teenage kids. I could say we had a great time! Everyone was very friendly and welcoming. Dawn at the reception was extra attentive to our needs and professional. Our room was located in building 1 close to the lobby and pool. It was nice, clean and very roomie. The lobby and restaurants are well maintained. We ordered breakfast from the coffee shop and ate it at the bar area by the lobby overlooking the beautiful mountains. The pool area is big enough for all the guest to have their own private space, but close enough to make friends. The music wasn’t too loud. I was able to enjoy the music and read my book. We loved the day beds and cabanas. The poolside food was good. We ordered the chicken strips, cheese burgers and fries. The frozen drinks were popular among the guest. The mango flavor was my favorite. The fire pits at night made it a calm ambience to end the night. The resort will be going through a major renovation starting June. Having said that there are areas that require tender loving care. For example Building 4 and 5 where the stand rooms are located. There are still acceptable and suitable to stay. But I would recommend to pay the upgrade and stay in one of the other buildings. Looking forward to staying at this resort again.
