Riviera Resort & Spa Palm Springs
Palm Springs, California
4 stars
Bringing that island feel to the Californian desert city, Margaritaville Resort Palm Springs is the first of the famous chain on the West Coast so you can enjoy the relaxed and colourful vibe as part of your US road trip, or for a chance to chill out by the pool with a cocktail in hand. With a calendar of activities including poolside games, movie nights and live DJ’s, this large resort caters for all ages. 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. If you’ve visited a Margaritaville before you’ll know they’re famous for the ‘5 o’clock somewhere’ bar and this place is no different. It’s the staple of any Margaritaville experience.

“No hot bath water”
Dec 31, 2025PeiranX
Bath water was cold for entire two nights stay. The room is old. The light at the table automatically shuts off after a while
“Awful!”
Dec 30, 2025Morgan L
AVOID! This hotel needs major renovations mainly in rooms. The patio door didn’t shut completely, there was no fan in the bathroom, and the shower only went lukewarm. The hallways are dingy and smell awful. The bars and restaurants were closed most of the time, out of lots of things when they were open. The worst thing by far was the hot tub! In the oasis pool, the hot tub was extremely hot and bubbling profusely, meaning it needed cleaning and was clogged with oils/dead skin. There were also no towels at any of the pools even though you weren’t allowed to use the ones from your room. Overall, this hotel has lots of potential but needs better management.
“Avoid”
