Outside my room. Enjoyed sipping coffee here in the morning.

The room was clean and decorated nicely. The pool area was quiet and relaxing. The jacuzzi was hot.

Loved the decor!

We had the most amazing stay at Mahala. The rooms were decorated to perfection and were extremely clean. They were also very spacious and the water pressure in the showers were perfection! I would highly recommend this hotel to anyone looking for a stay in Palm Springs. Incredible hotel!

I stayed at the Mahala 21 Over Resort in Palm Springs and loved it! The grounds were super quiet, perfect for relaxing. The rooms were clean and simple with a cool wicker-like floor. There wasn't a closet, just wall pegs with four hangers, but it wasn't a big deal--maybe bring a couple extra hangers. The room had a Keurig, a fridge with sparkling water, bottled water, chocolate, and 7-Up, plus two plastic wine cups and two plastic coffee cups. There's an ice machine and a water refill station with hot and cold options, so bring a reusable bottle to fill up. The staff sent check-in instructions the day before and were quick to help with anything. Awesome stay

What a great little hotel!!! Very quiet, which I loved and adults only, which is a plus! 1. Nice little pool with jacuzzi. 2. Very clean rooms. 3. Excellent communication from staff. 4. Rooms are cozy. 5. Free parking and no resort fees. 6. Staff is friendly and very accommodating. 7. 21 and up but not clothing optional. This is a new hotel so everything is fresh and clean. Check out my pictures to see how great this hotel is!!!!

The cutest hotel! The decor is modern. It's very clean and smells good. Everything is so nice and looks new. The cleaning service staff are very kind and friendly. The owners are very welcoming and make you feel right at home.

Succulents all around!

We headed to Mahala to celebrate my husbands birthday. We usually stay at a different hotel but decided to give this new place a try after seeing the Yelp reviews. The place is beautiful and impeccably clean. We had a big issue with the room and checked out early and unhappy, HOWEVER we were totally impressed with how Chad, the hotel manager, handled our situation. He contacted us almost immediately upon our departure (we left before the front desk was open) and took full responsibility for the problem. He ended up making up for our bad weekend by calling and texting both my husband and myself to apologize and invite us back at his expense to give them a second chance at a super relaxing weekend. Thank you Chad for turning unhappy people into satisfied guests. We will try staying at Mahala in the near future and give them another chance!

New favorite hotel, so glad we found this place. Chad was amazing at helping us get our room and get us all checked in, and gave excellent service with a tour Entrance is gorgeous, the grounds are lovely and manicured, the pool is quaint (has hottub also) , the entire property has lovely touches : bistro lights, sculptures, fireplace, tiling, plants ! The rooms are beautiful, with gorgeous murals over the bed, personal SMEG fridges with free coffee and snacks, smart TVs, massive fancy showers with water pressure control (amazing!!) It's amidst the soft opening so we have soft recommendations: the jute carpet is painful on the feet, bathroom needs shelving under sink, lack of wardrobe/closet is a bit tough, shower curtain is not quite long enough (Room 1) to go all the way around to enclose / keep warm. & Bike rentals would be a nice touch since we are a bit long of a walk from downtown :) Overall we absolutely loved our stay and cannot wait to return here ~ frequently ! Thank you Mahala for the lovely stay Xx

Where do I even begin? Let's start with I'm not even done with my stay and I'm giving this 5 stars. From before I even arrived communication was prompt and pleasant bordering on joyful. They texted me a few times confirming my stay and expressing excitement. I checked in after the office hours and the directions sent ahead of time were clear and easy to follow. As soon as I walked in I was struck by how beautiful the public area and pool were. It was like walking into a mid-century dream and I hadn't even gotten into my room! Speaking of, what a charming and delightful room. The decor was on point, the bed comfortable and yummy snacks and water on top of it all! I'm already planning my next stay. Keep it up Mahala!

Stayed here for one night wish I could have stayed here longer. Definitely a gem. Fast check In communication from Chad was superb. I love the comp snacks in cute smeg fridge. Pool is small but perfect. Location wasn't far away 5-7min uber ride to downtown Palm Springs shopping area. Overall this was a great choice to stay in. My only complaint is the rug, I dont know if it's a jute rug but it was a lil rough on the feet. Either than that will definitely stay here again.

Worked a little bit outside and the mountains were right there!!! 10/10

Enjoyed my 3 night stay at Mahala. Robert was perfect and provided tons of great places to eat and enjoy our evening. The room and hotel was very clean and got amazing sleep during my stay there. My favorite parts of the room had to be the shower and old school refrigerator. The television had the options for all the streaming sites(don't forget to sign out). The complimentary snacks were the icing on the cake after a long drive at night and most things being closed. I would definitely recommend this hotel to anyone visiting Palm Springs. Walking distance away from great restaurants and convenience stores. Definitely will be back!!!

Great location too!

What a great little motel with 15 rooms. Very clean rooms, heated pool, hot tub and no children. Manager aims to please. Much cheaper than other boutique locations.

See all

I was hoping the desert air would make the impossible, possible. Arrived on a day with nothing but blue skies. They had lockers to store my belongings; robes and slippers are included for the day. They offer facials, massages, and body treatments. It was so nice to unwind and bask in simple pleasures that life has to offer. I took a dip in all the pools from one to the next; I love mineral pools. Something about this mineral water feels like magic. Time just froze. It was as if my whole life led up to this moment. Nevertheless, sky gazing is allowed and in fact encouraged to watch the clouds drift. Birds chirping was music to my ears. The plants were oxygenating and the landscape was therapeutic. Staff and guests were friendly. Prime spot for spa-goers. Welcoming inspiration. Get inspired today. You know people are known to see water in the middle of the desert...Was it all a mirage? Did it really happen? I think I just talked myself into going back--I need a redo. #DontBeBlueBeYou #IndulgeInBliss #BestVersionOfMe "As you walk through the desert of life, may you always find your oasis!"

La Serena Villas - Entry to the hotel where we were greeted with champagne

My stay at La Serena Villas was exceptional from beginning to end. This was a special anniversary…read moregetaway for us and our first trip away from our children in nearly eight years, so we were a little ambivalent about leaving. From the moment we arrived, though, La Serena Villas made us feel completely at ease. The customer service was truly impeccable from check-in to check-out. Every staff member we interacted with was incredibly kind, welcoming, and genuinely pleasant to work with. When we arrived, we were immediately offered a prickly pear champagne beverage. After I mentioned that I'm allergic to alcohol, the staff instantly offered me a lavender lemonade instead without missing a beat. I'm usually not a fan of lavender-flavored drinks at all, but this one was so surprisingly delicious that when I checked out, I actually asked if they sold it. They don't, unfortunately, but they were kind enough to offer me another glass as a parting gift, which was such a thoughtful touch and perfectly captured the level of care and hospitality throughout our stay. The villas themselves were amazing. Everything was pristine, beautifully maintained, and spotless. The overall vibe of the property was quiet, peaceful, and deeply relaxing, which made it feel like a true escape. I genuinely enjoyed every moment I was there and am already looking forward to booking my next stay. La Serena Villas delivered an experience that felt both luxurious and personal, and I would absolutely recommend it to anyone looking for a beautiful, restful getaway.

The property is small but quite nice. Pool is kinda crammed in there, with fewer chairs than guests should the hotel be sold out, and it's right in front of the restaurant, putting your swimsuit ass on display for anyone looking to dine. But there is a spa past the "guests only" sign, away from the pool, so that's at least an option. Rooms are spacious and beautiful. Reminded me of a casita. Shower is huge and has great pressure. Pocket doors all around, nice. Hot tub in back is killer and having a fire pit next to it makes the backyard lounging even more inviting on a crisp night. Free breakfast is full of solid choices. Not-free food and drinks are good but, holy hell, is it overpriced. I hate that we're at a place where drinks are $20 on average for alcohol that hasn't been getting more expensive. I just drink less so good for me, I suppose? I got a surf & turf for $55 and it was flank steak and about 15% of it was fat. It came with three shrimp. Sad. Excellent service. Everyone was polite, accommodating, pleasant. No complaints there at all.

I know because this family's-third stay at a Ritz Carlton for the month of July-- Ritz Rancho Mirage is truly the best one we've ever stayed in California! Ritz Rancho Mirage property really needs to share its expertise and guidance with the less impressive, failing Ritz Half Moon Bay. That property is just Awful. SERIOUSLY help that horrid property out. Here at Ritz Rancho Mirage from the moment we arrived, we were greeted by all the wonderful valet men at the driveway. Bright happy smiles. Checking in was a breeze, with smiles, excellent customer service, and a super quick process. As we walked through the hallway towards the elevators, we were greeted by several staff members who said hello to us. Every employee we encountered at the property seemed to enjoy their job. It was such a wonderful day to see the Ritz Carlton stuffies for kids, three different options. Our kids chose the ram. Our family is known for collecting all the Ritz Carlton memorabilia and visiting all the properties around the world. So for this property to have three stuffies was a surprise The sweet, friendly young woman at the front desk showed them all the options, they could choose from. Our Family really loved our room. We again booked two connecting rooms. A double bedroom comes with a couch and is very spacious. The king bed also came with a little couch. The first floor had a very unique vibe that we all liked. The decoration of the Crystal lights was very cool. The bathrooms were all looking like they had a complete renovation. Big huge bathtubs for our little toddler to swim in his bubble bath in. Housekeeping staff I give them a 10! Phenomenal job all you amazing ladies and gents working in housekeeping. All of them were friendly, checked on us, offered more towels. Our room was serviced EVERY time we came back to the room, clean, spotless. Not like the disgusting Ritz Half Moon bay. The housekeeping crew here all were on top of their duties with great smiles and attitudes. We happily will be bringing more cash for them next time. Very hard workers. I appreciated all of you guys in housekeeping. The family pool was amazing! It was not overcrowded and it was clean, all the music playing was completely perfect for families. They keep the area very clean and the staff was always checking in on us to see like to order anything else or needed anything. The service at the Pool side is five star! The view from the property is spectacular! My family really was surprised at night that there was a star watch around the pool. We were able to see through the huge telescopes two distant stars. What a great treat. We all did enjoy the shops there at the resort. They had a great attire for the entire family. Dad found a wonderful shirt and our toddler found the cutest swim shorts. We don't like to do so far. This one is the best Ritz in terms of on site shopping. Overall, our family had a five star one experience at this property. So wonderful that I am very sure we will be booking more visits through the year.I cannot tell you enough how nice, accommodating and friendly staff is here at the property. If you have fur babies go ahead and bring them along ..this property is dog friendly! Our two Frenchies really enjoyed their time here.. being spoiled by the staff. They give water bowls and dog treats. There are many dogs in the property during our visit. Each of them were also happy to be able to socialize with their families as we could tell. If you can't tell...I Love the Ritz Rancho Mirage.

Very unfavorable and unexpected experience at The Monkey Tree in Palm Soring…read more Parking location was uncomfortable. Everything was dimly lit. General hotel layout was nice, felt vintage and was a refreshing twist. Room layout was interesting, tv was placed in front of the couch so you can't watch tv in bed. When first entering our room: 1. The two ceilings lights either flickered or did not turn on at all. The room was pitch black until we PLUGGED IN the closet lamp. 2. The bathtub was not clean, there were hairs. Bathtub was paint was chipped and the faucet was leaking as well. 3. The kitchen utensils were not clean. Forks, glasses and even the roll of paper towels were found dirty or used. The extra rolls under the sink were unwrapped. When coming to our room a few hours after check in, calling customer service (calling three times) took more than an hour, just for us to be told that the lighting and cleanliness issues will be solved in the morning. Was really looking forward to the experience but upon our first few hours, we felt unwelcome, uncomfortable and turned off of our whole stay. Especially when faced with the lack of cleanliness in the restroom, if our bathtub could be so apparently dirty, what else could they have missed? We were forced to spend the first few hours fixing up our room before starting to feel comfortable. This meant scrubbing the bathtub, washing every dish and checking every surface. With the lengthy and detailed check in process, we were really expecting a quality, travel worthy experience. Instead, it felt we were greeted with an unclean, uncomfortable welcome. As guests, it was made obvious to us that customer service was not at the forefront of our experience. Having decentralized customer service (through phone numbers and apps) made us feel so unattached from the actual experience.

This place is a true gem, maybe a hidden gem due to the negative reviews as of lately…read more My husband and I booked this place for a quick weekend getaway. I was a little scared when I read that most of the recent reviews were negative. I was thinking "oh no! What did I get us into." This place is a blast from the past. The decor is that of a mid century modern and is a really cozy quadrangle set up. The interior feels homey and the property is set up like an air bnb with shared amenities. They play 1950s music all day on speakers throughout the complex, it creates that vintage feel but can get repetitive after a few days. Lounge with tables, board games, travel brochures, couches, fire place, coffee and tea, and industrial kitchen for use during your stay. (Old reviews mention happy hour, breakfast, snacks, etc. these are no longer offered but why not just bring your own?) Each room has microwave and mini fridge. Outdoor gas fire pit for use. The pool is small but has a deep end 8ft which is nice. There are pool noodles and some tubes to use. The hot tub is spacious and powerful jets. We stayed in the Hawaiian surf room, loved the theme it was so cute and felt like a tropical getaway. The shower is small but functional. Good AC unit with a remote control and ceiling fan. Surfboard coffee table and wicker love seat add to the tropical feel. Overall this was a nice private getaway. You can be left alone to relax! If you need anything you can text the hotel and someone replies super quick in my experience. The hotel feels very secure with codes needed to enter the complex and security cameras at the entrance and surrounding the complex. (Probably for management to check and make sure everything is running smoothly). I would stay here again in a heartbeat and I have stayed at a few different boutique hotels in the area. This would be a top choice! Please realize this is an older complex and it does show some wear and tear but come on the building is probably 100 years old or somewhere close to that. If you are expecting a sterile, high end, resort feel for your stay this is not your place... but otherwise this is a great choice! I couldn't help but feel bad for the owners with all of the really bad reviews on here because that was truly not my experience. I left off one star because there are definitely areas of improvement that could be made but not enough to ruin my experience.

This is our 3rd time staying here. The FINAL TIME, I might add. Our last visit was back in early…read more2019 before it had been sold over and over again. It use to be so nice with a couple who owned and or managed it well. A nice happy hour with wine and snacks. Along with a hot cooked breakfast with a daily menu change. Rooms were cleaned daily with fresh towels. Now there's NOTHING! Not to mention it's a total dump. Dirty, rotted wood everywhere, broken glass, the exterior is peeling, the awning to welcome you is completely tattered and broken, trash in the parking areas, broken door handles, the bathroom was disgusting, etc... It's a complete DUMP! Do not waste your money. No more happy hour (well unless you want this-Pace picante sauce from a jar with stale chips and slushy margarita mix without tequila. The chips, salsa, and "margarita" mix were still sitting out for guests to "ENJOY" the next morning! It had been sitting out uncovered for over 15 hours! GROSS! No wonder why they're stale! Our original reservations were set and paid for April 2022. They canceled our reservations telling us they had to close for renovations until November! So we thought we'll wait until they're done. NO RENOVATIONS we're ever done! This place use to be a hidden gem. Do yourself a favor and stay at a Motel 6. At least it's updated and clean. Not to mention about 1/3 of the price. We paid $500 for two nights. Oh, and there's no one working the desk (at least from morning to around 3pm) so you're on your own if you need anything. The front desk guy is very nice, but this shit show place is out of his control. I feel bad for him!
