    Great mid century tiki escape in the beautiful desert

    The room could use a little care, had a lot of wear and tear and the floors were a bit dirty. More trash cans in the room, towels, and toilet paper would be good too, as those items were pretty limited in a 2 queen parlor suite meant for a larger party. Also, the AC unit in the bedroom area would help with the temperature inside the rooms. Ours was closer to the bathroom area, which made it difficult to keep the bedroom area cool and comfortable, considering how hot the rooms do get.

    The resort was so welcoming and inviting. Staff was polite and helpful, and excellent customer service. Parking was free, easy, and ample. The pool and gardens were beautiful!

    The rooms need a lot of tlc and repairs. Holes in walls, missing paint, etc. makes things look and feel dirty and run down. Drinks are fantastic but WAY over priced. The pool needs to be bused; people left finished drinks all over the pool area with no one on staff picking it up.

    Great theme, wonderful lighting. Love the tiki bar and pool/jacuzzi. The pillows and bed are extremely comfortable.

    Love everything about this hotel, perfect little oasis. Comfortable. Great sleeps. Friendly staff. Amazing let us check in early as well. Some guests bringing their own speakers to the pool was a bit annoying considering they have good chill music playing through their own speakers. But love it here.

    I wish the restaurant was open for breakfast on weekdays.

    The morning meal we had on Saturday was excellent. I’d call mine among my top three avocado toast experiences! We were in the upstairs rooms at the back of the property, and I think they are the best (and quietest) choice.

    Blood on the sheets and floor. I brought my own blanket and slept on top of the covers. unfortunately the refrigerator had a leaky freezer and the bottom of fridge had lots of water and the snacks I brought were all wet.

    It was a great place. Needs renovations and updating. I like that I was able to attend a festival and come back to a nice , clean, quiet room. I love this location has food on site and a pool and hot tub. It had a fridge. Great vibe over all and the staff was really nice and friendly.

    Hard to criticise really, the hotel is a bit dated but I don’t think that’s too much of a problem for me. I do prefer more modern accommodation but for the price, location, facilities and staff everything was good.

    Good location situated not too far from downtown Palm Springs, the rooms were spacious & had all the amenities. The pool area & bar was good and open until late. The staff were incredibly welcoming & helpful, I had to check out my early due to some personal circumstances but the hotel were very understanding. I would stay here again.

    Rooms can use a make over. Beds are old and not very comfortable . TV run off WiFi which constantly pauses.

    Pool surrounded by nature is a welcome and relaxing escape from concrete encased resorts. Nice poolside restaurant with good eats and drinks. Cozy cabanas and open area for play and recreation. Dog friendly.

    Our room was slumping in one corner and it gave feeling of being on the ship, fridge didn’t seem to work, still it was very noisy.

    Nice place with good vibes but deserves some refreshing.
