Awwwwww.... we totally wanted a destination wedding but we wanted to share all our memories with…read moreour family. We were married March 2nd, 2010 and we couldnt have picked a better place to be married. Everything was perfect. Except dont expect to get your deposit back unless you hire a cleaning crew that will cost you just about the same amount as the deposit. They should call it a cleaning fee not a deposit. My husband and I stayed until 12am cleaning up the mess our selves in our wedding attire. Then once we got everything cleaned up we were told we also have to take all the trash to the dumpsters half a mile away. So we didnt make it to our honeymoon cabin till 3am and I ruined my dress with trash because of this. For the price they should DEFINITELY have included a cleaning fee. I only write this so that other couples can expect to not get there deposit back or hire a cleaning crew. Either way I felt that we had the best wedding ever.

Corona (showcasing lower teeth and in a Thurston Howell the III voice) Yaacht Club is fun to say…read more It's a lush oasis that begs to be experienced and fortunately, doesn't borderline campy. For some reason, it reminded me of Hawaii with its setup. We came here for a birthday party (cousin's wife's cousin's daughter...I hope I got that right). I felt like a little kid having fun exploring the nooks and crannies of the grounds, but I didn't have the chance to see the rest of the place. A walkway built for couples surrounds the perimeter of this beautiful lagoon. Actually, I think the walkways are just wide enough for Skipper to walk through. Sorry, Gilligan. Benches, huts, a firepit for toasting S'mores, tiki torches, and various live tropical foliage embellish your journey throughout the vast walkway. I remember hearing another party next door, but wasn't sure if it was within Corona Yacht Club's domain or a neighboring competitor. They have two bathrooms for women and one for men, which would be along the path to your left once you enter the main hall... in case you realize that the 10 freeway was much much longer than you expected. I didn't make it and had to go at a gas station. All of their staff was knowledgeable and friendly. The food on the other hand, was average, but I enjoyed their mini-burgers and chicken quesadillas. I think they may have gone through a vendor for this, so I can't have that impact my review that much. The open bar made my night, but dancing on the dock over the lake and constant laughing with family and friends guaranteed that I had a night to remember. Party on little buddy. Party on. *A Note on Directions: After exiting Dillon Rd on the 10 Freeway you'll make a right onto Dillon Road, then a QUICK left onto Vista Del Sur. If you pass the gentleman's club, you've gone too far. We got lost trying to look for (in English) View of the South. Once on Vista Del Sur though, you can then make a right onto Tyler Street. The place is on the left side. You're welcome. P.S. Here's their website, which I noticed wasn't listed at the top: http://www.coronayachtclub.com/

If you are considering booking Old Polo Estate for your wedding - look no further and thank me…read morelater! This property is absolutely stunning and what truly sets it apart is that you get the entire place to yourselves for the weekend. At first, the investment might feel like a lot...but when you really think about it, most venues charge a significant amount for just 4-5 hours. At Old Polo, you have the option to turn your wedding into an entire weekend experience and that made all the difference for us. We booked three nights at Old Polo and we don't regret it for a second. We had our entire bridal party and family stay on the property, and it honestly felt like a wedding vacation (even though we live locally - it was the best "staycation" we've ever had). Instead of one quick blur of a day, we had a full weekend of memories, laughter, pool time, late-night chats, and quality time with the people we love most. It was the best time of our lives. The house itself is immaculate. It is beautifully maintained, incredibly comfortable, and perfect for a large party. Every detail feels thoughtful and elevated. Julie is amazing to work with. She is professional, organized, responsive, and genuinely cares about making sure you are happy. The entire team is on top of everything, which gives you so much peace of mind throughout the process. If I had to do it all over again, I wouldn't change a single thing. Old Polo Estate gave us not just a wedding day, but a wedding weekend we will cherish forever!

Breakfast is the standard Holiday Inn continental breakfast - there is fresh fruit and enough stuff to go, but the eggs/sausage is a bit dry/overcooked.

Fantastic Pre-Season Soccer in Palm Desert…read more - - - - - - - - February, 2026 Visit We visited Palm Desert to see our St. Louis CITY Soccer Club (SC) play Austin in pre-season MLS soccer at the Coachella Valley Invitational Tournament, and we had a GREAT TIME!! The Coachella Valley Invitational Tournament is pre-season soccer for men (MLS) and women (NWSL), played at the Empire Polo Club in February each year. We have visited Palm Desert for many years, and have visited before and after the tournament the past couple years, but have missed attending; thankfully schedules aligned this year. After watching previous games on YouTube, this year we got to be there in person! The tournament's site offers some challenges on finding General Admission tickets; after some time we found that the Los Angeles Galaxy (LAG) were managing the tickets; a quick call with Miguel, who was very helpful, and we soon had our tickets in the app ready to be there for the soccer. Thanks, Miguel!! Parking for soccer was easy to find based on the online map and following the signs. For food, under the semi-permanent tent they have food trucks and an open bar. Here is little shade on the fields; some palm trees in the corners offer a place to cool off; otherwise if the skies are clear, the Palm Desert sun will provide copious doses of Vitamin D to lift your spirits. DJ Alf Alpha provided dance tubes all day and there were various soccer skills for fans to participate in. Even when the weather is not as nice as it was for us, this is still a great facility, with low humidity. Fun fact... the Salton Sea is the second lowest point in the US, after Badwater Basin / Death Valley; if I calculated correctly, the Empire Polo Club elevation is 5-20 feet. Thank you to everyone who makes the Coachella Valley Invitational possible! As Major League Soccer transitions its season to match the rest of the world, and to spread across two years, but no soccer in cold Jan/Fen nor hot July/Aug, we hope you'll continue the tournament as a mid-season break tourney. ----- ----- -----

The Polo Club is a big and varied place. They do actually have polo fields there. AND, they also…read morehave other areas. Today I was there for the soccer invitationals. I've been for others things. The dog show, for instance. It's a nice outdoor space. There are areas that are very rich in foliage and give plenty of shade. The staff has always been nice and helpful, from the parking people to the security and cashiers, I've never have anyone be ambivalent. Food is, well, epic expensive. If you plan to spend $30 on food and $10 on drinks, you can get by. Beer was not outrageous though, which was a surprise. I definitely recommend going. Parking has always been easy. Some events it's free parking, others it costs, so plan ahead.

We played the Mountain course then the Royal course to make 18 holes. The Royal course was in slightly better condition, meaning there was a titch more green grass on the fairways and greens but very poor conditions overall. I played the forward tees which sometimes didn't even exist. I had to just play wherever color was the most forward. The sand was more like mud. No fluff. Carts were old and no yardage indicators. I gave it a three for a couple of reasons. First, we played fast! I love playing my own pace and our threesome played in less than 3 hours. Second, the staff we encountered were all very nice. This course has some work to do. We will not be coming back.

This place definitely does not even deserve one star! But I'm forced to leave one star in order to…read moreleave a review. This dump is THEE worst place we have ever stayed at. We tried to find other accommodations near by but because of the holiday weekend, we were out of luck. We had planned a get away with another couple to relax, enjoy the pool and bbq. Boy were we in for a surprise! We were drawn to the place because of the pictures on the website. And because it's in a gated country club resort. That website is extremely misleading!! We were given rooms on the second floor. As the husbands were getting our luggage out of our car, me and my other family member decided to take a look at the pool area from the second floor. As we look down, a gentleman was rolling up a hose for cleaning the pool. He immediately says to us "are you the ones that complained?" in a rude tone. We told him "no, we just got here" and he tells us "well I can't perform miracles". The pool was STILL DIRTY!!! We walked to our rooms and gave him the benefit of the doubt thinking he just wasn't done cleaning it. My husband opened our room door and it was extremely hot inside. My family members were right next door and their room was cool because the AC unit was on. So we hung out for a bit in their room. The room was run down, the bathroom was dirty and the shower had mold around the bottom. We decided to check our bathroom next door. The toilet was disgustingly gross. It had mold all over it. The shower was just as bad. Please see pictures below. I told my husband that I was in no way going to use that toilet as it looked like it hadn't been cleaned in months!!! The guys went to the office to find out about changing rooms. The manager was extremely rude! She just didn't want to hear it. She offered us a free drink!!!! When my husband said no she then offered him a free meal!!! Again he refused and said we would not even sit on the toilet. She then offered him two additional rooms to look at. But when the reservation was made online, we were given a statement that said 'you just booked the last room'. VERY MISLEADING!!!! We took the better of those two rooms offered. That room was just as bad! I've attached pictures of the blow dryer in the room along with a video of the bathroom ceiling fan every time it was turned on, that's the noise we had to hear. The water in the bathroom sink would take forever to go down, see video. On to the outside pool area. I've attached pictures of the bbq that was disgustingly dirty. We would NEVER put anything we were going to eat on that. Along with the outside furniture and lounge chairs. I wouldn't even feed my animals on that table or have them sit on those chairs. Look at the jacuzzi and pool filters. They haven't been cleaned in months. Both pool and jacuzzi were filthy!! This was after my husband complained about our room and the pool area. Another gentleman rushed over to clean the pool and furniture along with the bbq. I don't know what he cleaned with but we're sure it wasn't with chemicals or cleaning supplies. They were all still filthy! We ended up having to find things to do outside of the hotel resort grounds. When we returned back for the night, we were locked out of our room! My husband had to walk down to the security gate and a security guard had to come open our door and told us we would need to go back to the office in the morning when they opened to get new key cards. Worse hotel we have ever been to!! Never again!! Doesn't even deserve one star. I could go on even more but I'm getting frustrated and grossed out all over again. And to the manager, learn some manners if you're in a management position.

There are so many things I like about the Worldmark Indio resort that it's going to be hard to fit…read moreit all into this review. But there are some things I think they can improve on, rather the whole company, and because of this I'm giving it 4.5 stars. I'll start with what they can improve on: their "highly suggested" sales pitch disguised as an owner update meeting. Now I know it comes with the territory but is something I do not look forward to. Most times they go over the 1 hour time slot and turns into a sales pitch to buy more and make it seem like you're foolish for not seeing the value. It hasn't been so bad at this location but just a reminder that people are on vacation and they would rather not be spending time in a meeting when there's relaxing to do! Ok I'm done with that, now on to all the things I like about this location. This property is slightly tucked away behind homes and a golf course, giving it a private feel. The entire property is very well maintained with staff walking around the property at all times. There is also so much to do, including the main attraction - the lazy river, pools, tennis, pickleball, basketball, shuffleboard and a fantastic entertainment room and gym. There are also many grills scattered throughout the property as well as seating areas. And my favorite, the on-site spa which I've always had such a good experience at. They have decent priced massages and they do a great job. I must also mention the rooms; they are spacious and comfortable and provide all the amenities that you need including all kitchen utensils and washer/dryer. Many if not all also have very nice views from the balcony. This is a truly excellent property where anyone can find what they're looking for in a vacation.

I stayed at WorldMark Indio for the Coachella weekend and, while the property and the resort are…read morebeautiful, there are a lot of minor things that really just became an annoyance to me during my stay. Because it was the weekend of the Coachella music festival, the entire resort was full and it was extremely busy. Check in was quick and easy with friendly staff. Since it is a WorldMark location, we were offered the timeshare presentation (marketed as a "tour of the property"); we politely declined and they never bothered us again about it. The following items really annoyed me and I am not sure whether this is the norm or if it was because it was busy and the resort was full. - The resort DOES NOT provide additional towels. You can only replace dirty towels by calling housekeeping and trading your dirty towels for new ones. I have never seen a resort/hotel do this and did not like this practice. Just really annoying. - The resort does not offer housekeeping, even though we stayed for 4 nights! Our room was never cleaned as a result and we had to take the trash out ourselves. I even tried leaving the trash outside my door so that housekeeping can just grab it, but I found that it was just left there all day. Some other cons... - The AC does not work in the bedrooms. It is strong in the living rooms, but there is no air in the bedrooms for some reason. Being in the desert, it was sooo hot getting up to the high 90s outside. AC is necessary! - The food in the market/cafe is pretty mid... With WorldMark Indio being a large well-known resort in the area, I would expect the cafe food to be better. Pro though - I like that they have a market/cafe; definitely helpful to get a quick lunch in before heading to Coachella. - The security becomes very aggressive if you do not have their resort wristbands on. I accidentally left mine in the room on the first day and was almost not let back onto the property even though I could tell them my full name with ID... The best and really the only PRO I can tell you about is that there are shuttles here that take you to the festival! It is run by a private company called LF Festivals. It is very convenient and costs $145 per person. It is expensive but it was convenient and made it so that we had one less thing to think about. One thing they could work on though is the wait times. I waited over an hour sometimes to get onto a shuttle since the line was so long. Sometimes though there was no wait and I got onto a van immediately. Okay, I know I have a lot of negatives to say but it's a solid place to stay. I guess I just had high expectations because of the high price. Overall, nearly every staff I interacted with was very friendly and helpful and the front desk is quick to answer the phone when you need assistance with something. The room was clean and there is a microwave, fridge, freezer, and stove. Very convenient.
