Our stay at The Colony Palms Hotel was absolutely perfect — from the moment we arrived to the moment we left, everything felt magical. The property itself is stunning, beautifully maintained, and radiates a serene elegance that’s hard to find elsewhere. The pool was just the right temperature, peaceful, and surrounded by lush greenery — the perfect spot to unwind. The jacuzzi was a real treat, relaxing and inviting. The on-site restaurant didn’t disappoint either — stylish, well-appointed, and serving delicious food in a warm, intimate setting. But what truly made this experience unforgettable was the staff. Every single team member was genuinely kind, attentive, and went out of their way to make us feel welcome and cared for. It wasn’t just service — it felt like personal hospitality. They remembered our names, checked in with warmth, and ensured every detail was taken care of. This isn’t just a hotel; it’s a retreat where luxury meets soulful care. We left feeling refreshed, happy, and already planning our return. If you’re looking for a peaceful, adults-only escape with exceptional charm and heartfelt service, this is the place.

This charming boutique hotel is small but perfectly curated, offering a peaceful atmosphere just minutes away from the attractions we wanted to visit. Free parking was a major plus—easy access and well-managed. The room was spotless, with excellent-quality towels and robes that felt luxurious. I especially appreciated the complimentary coffee upon arrival—the little touch made the stay feel extra special.

Let’s talk boutique hotels! After over 20 years of staying in Palm Springs, this is hands down the best hotel I’ve ever experienced. The ambiance is peaceful and incredibly relaxing—exactly what you want after a long day. The staff are genuinely warm, professional, and always going the extra mile. The restaurant manager was especially sweet, making sure we had everything we needed without us even having to ask. And the front deck team? Absolutely amazing—they set up a romantic bubble bath with candles for my partner and me. It was such a thoughtful touch that made our stay feel truly special. This is my second visit, and I can confidently say I’ll be back again. If you’re looking for a memorable, authentic Palm Springs retreat, this place is a must.
Alcazar Palm Springs
This charming little hotel is perfectly positioned—just a short walk from downtown shops and restaurants, yet still feels peaceful and secluded. The pool is a nice size, with a hot tub and comfortable lounging areas perfect for unwinding. My room was spacious, the bathroom clean and modern, and I especially loved the small private patio—ideal for morning coffee or quiet evenings. While there’s no on-site restaurant, Cheeky’s next door serves an excellent breakfast, and the hotel offers complimentary coffee, orange juice, and pastries each morning. It’s a great value stay if you’re looking for something cozy and convenient without the full resort experience. The staff went above and beyond with their friendly, helpful service. I’d absolutely come back and recommend it to anyone visiting Palm Springs.
Desert Isle Resort
I stayed at Desert Isle Resort over ten years ago for nearly two weeks, and it still stands out in my memory as one of the best experiences I've had in Palm Springs. It's definitely my go-to choice whenever I visit the area. The rooms are spacious, comfortable, and well-maintained—perfect for unwinding after a long day exploring the desert. The value for money is outstanding. This time around, I would have loved to extend my stay, but the extreme heat—close to 50°C for several days—made it tough to enjoy outdoor activities. Still, the resort’s cool indoor spaces, friendly staff, and peaceful atmosphere made it a refreshing retreat. I’d highly recommend this place to anyone looking for comfort, convenience, and a true desert getaway.
Courtyard Palm Springs
Staying at Courtyard Palm Springs was a fantastic experience from start to finish. The room was exceptionally clean and well-maintained, with a private balcony that offered perfect morning views of the sunrise—especially nice for guests on the 349th floor facing east. The elevator and hallway areas were spotless and well-kept, adding to the overall sense of comfort and hygiene. I appreciated the complimentary ice-cold water and fresh apples available daily in the lobby—simple but thoughtful touches. The location is convenient, quiet yet close enough to downtown attractions. Service was friendly and efficient, and the overall value stood out. It’s a great choice for travelers looking for a relaxing, clean, and comfortable stay without sacrificing convenience. Definitely planning to return.

Staying at Drift Palm Springs was an absolute highlight of my trip to Palm Springs. The room was enormous and effortlessly stylish—easily the most design-forward hotel I've stayed at on this journey. The kitchen was fully equipped, perfect for preparing meals in-house, and the two bedrooms offered different mattress firmness levels—one soft, one firmer—great for accommodating different sleep preferences. I especially loved the luxurious bath products with their subtle essential oil fragrance; it made every shower feel like a spa treatment. This place delivers incredible value for the quality and experience. If you're visiting Palm Springs, this is a must-book. Highly recommended!

The room was immaculate—clean, stylishly designed, and incredibly comfortable, with a plush bed that made for restful nights. Location-wise, it’s convenient for downtown access, and walking distance to great cafes and shops. What stood out most was the attention to detail—the thoughtful touches, the quiet ambiance, and the overall vibe that felt both luxurious and personal. It’s not just a place to sleep; it’s an experience. I’d absolutely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone visiting Palm Springs.
Palm Springs Rendezvous
We booked the entire property for a group getaway during the first weekend of June, and it was absolutely perfect. While the hotel is on the older side and shows some signs of wear and tear (my husband even helped weed the flower beds before our guests arrived!), having exclusive access to all 11 rooms made the experience truly special. We had the full kitchen to ourselves, the pool all to ourselves, and even control over the music system—so much freedom! The rooms are charming, spotlessly clean, and full of character. If you're planning a private retreat with friends or family and want complete privacy and flexibility, renting out the whole place is definitely worth it. This trip was one of the best we’ve ever taken—and our group is already talking about making it an annual tradition.

WorldMark Palm Springs
The apartment was incredibly spacious and fully equipped, including a well-stocked kitchen—perfect for self-catering. Right outside the door was a private parking spot, and just a short 10-meter walk from the terrace led straight to the large pool. The view from the pool area overlooking the iconic mountains south of Palm Springs was breathtaking. The location offered both tranquility and convenience, making it an ideal base for exploring the area. It’s rare to find such a comfortable, well-designed space with such a stunning backdrop—this place truly stands out. I’d definitely stay here again.

This desert villa getaway was absolutely perfect for our Palm Springs trip. The location couldn’t be better—just minutes from all the main attractions, yet tucked away in a peaceful, scenic area. The villa itself is spacious and beautifully designed with modern touches that blend seamlessly with the desert vibe. We loved the cool indoor climate despite the hot weather outside—air conditioning worked like a charm. Every penny spent felt justified. The entire experience was top-notch, and we’re already planning our return visit. Highly recommend this hidden gem to anyone looking for a relaxing, stylish escape in the desert.
