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.

“Riviera”

The hotel was great and the staff was super attentive and sweet. Specifically, Christian, at the Paradise pool bar had excellent customer service and made excellent drinks very quickly so we weren’t waiting under the scorching sun. Definitely recommend visiting.
“Fantastic Pool Experience – Thanks to Christian!”

My friends and I stayed at this hotel for just one night, but the highlight of our visit was definitely the pool – and more specifically, the incredible service from Christian. He was friendly, attentive, and made sure everyone felt welcomed and comfortable. Whether it was helping with towels, checking in to see if we needed anything, or just bringing a great vibe to the area, Christian went above and beyond. It's clear he takes pride in his work, and it made my short stay that much more enjoyable. Big thanks to the amazing staff and Christian – you're the best!
“Beautiful little getaway”

I seen the reviews were highly unfavorable once I booked the trip. It made me a little weary but being that I’ve visited Palm Springs multiple times and always had a great experience, I was hoping this would be the same.
It was our first time booking this hotel and I absolutely loved it! Everyone was really nice. The guys at valet were very friendly, Pablo at the front desk was helpful and checked me in within minutes. My room was even ready 2 hours prior to check in and we were hanging out in the uptown area when they called me to notify me my room was ready, that was really sweet and awesome. I know they have two pools but we only did the main one and it was nice, spacious and clean. They had music playing on the background not too loud, a bar area with friendly staff and a lot of lounge chairs. I have 3 kids under 6 & they all loved the pool! I didn’t explore the rest of the resort but the pool area was great and our room was very comfortable & bigger than we expected. A nice big tub and shower, lots of storage space to place our belongings and a fun outdoor patio area.
Will definitely return!
