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.

“So-so.”
May 31, 2026Selina G
Our experience was so so. We decided to spend our 2 year wedding anni with our 6 month old baby at the Riviera Resort. Our check in was at 4pm and our room wasn’t ready until 6:30pm. That already was not a great start to our vacation. On top of that, we booked the premium room with a tub and staff was not able to get a tub stopper to take a bath until the next day. The tub was the whole reason we booked that room, so that was a bummer. They also limit the amount of towels to 1 towel per person at the pools. Lastly, there was a large bug in our room that appeared to be some sort of caterpillar or worm. It was big enough I saw it crawling on the bathroom floor from the bed. It made the room feel less clean and uncomfortable. Staff were friendly and helpful overall. It was just the delay on the tub stopper that was inconvenient, along with the large bug in the bathroom that affected our overall experience.
“Very wonderful”
