Second time coming here and worth the drive from LA. I love a secluded more lowkey spot and this is…read moreexactly that. About 25 minutes away from Palm Springs so if you need a place to do nothing with just the perfect amenities this is it. I purchased their overnight package and stayed in their king suite. Room was spacious, had a private mineral bath, and no TV to complete enjoy the silent bliss. They have 5 outdoor mineral baths in their oasis, a heated pool, and 3 jacuzzis. I stayed on a Monday-Tuesday, it was just the right amount of guests I felt like I had my privacy. I received the absolute BEST massage from Kat! Will definitely be coming back and asking for her. I feel like she really focused on my areas of need and the pressure was perfect. Love love love this spa!

When I walked in I asked where do I check in because the area was giving bar, the guy with the curly pony tail said right here do you have a reservation. I politely told him no because I wanted to see what the vibes were like before booking & kinda laughed, he didn't crack a smile just looked at me like I was bothering him lol so I'm like ok so can I check in here he then says no, you have to do it online but let me tell you the cheapest room we have. Woah woah woah lol what made you think I was looking for cheap ?!! Umm ok so he gives me the quotes for upstairs and down stairs which has a fire place. Funny enough I had always planned on the patio and fire place which was more expensive because it's my birthday I wanted to get some content. Any ways I went online to start the booking and checking in, the price was significantly cheaper than what he quoted me, no biggie as I was putting in my information he handed me a card and said have a seat over there. I was literally damn near done but I guess he didn't want me at his counter any longer so I took the card and slid out the door and went to my car and drove 3 hours back home lol. I guess it wasn't so much what was said but how it was said. The vibes were just off and it scared me away. I get it sometimes dealing with the public is draining but don't give me the energy I'm not giving you! This was my first solo trip so I was nervous and extremely polite on purpose because I'm traveling alone. In case of emergency I would like to think staff care about their guest.

We booked the Dunes for a relaxing trip to Palm Springs to spend time next to the pool…read more Unfortunately, the pool and Spa had a nasty body scum ring that circled the whole entire pool and hot tub, floating debris in the hot tub, you could take your fingernail along the rim of the pool or the hot tub and scrape all the body gunk and scum off with the buildup piling up under your fingernail. The pool was filled with cloudy bluish green water... I reported this to management on the second day, they followed up with I'm sorry, I would be disappointed as well, and that they will have their pool and maintenance team on it right away... That was just something to say try to make me feel better, never once during our stay did pool maintenance or pool cleaning company come and test the water or try or attempt to clean the pool or Hot Tub. The whole idea was to get away from the busy world and to come out to Palmsprings to soak in the pool and Hot Tub was a complete failure... Although our check-in process with Paulina was pleasant, the management and the ownership completely dropped the ball, and clearly showed that they do not care about the cleanliness of the pool, I am confident that if sanitary testing measures were taken, the pool would be shut down due to the filthy nature of the water and disgusting body scum ring. There are 1 vending machine only had Diet Coke left, and the snacks were stale. I would not recommend the dunes.

Really charming adult only hotel. Loved the calmness of the property and the rooms…read more My recommendation is at a minimum stay in the luxe room if you can swing it. Bar and pool are quiet and comfortable Room patio is nice enough to sit with a gas fire pit on a chilly night. Bar and rooftop bar are actually really great and fun. Drinks and food were very good Only downside if any is there is no gym. Staff is amazing and very helpful. I would highly recommend this property

We wound up here after our room at the Del Marcos next door had issues. I hate to pack my stuff…read moreagain unless I'm packing to leave but this seemed like an upgrade so I agreed to move. 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.

Love the color scheme of yellow, blues, and greens. My boyfriend and I's room was nice. Love the space. Cozy and comfortable. Yellow is the main character of the resort. From the room doors, outside umbrella, and towels. The pool was perfect. Not too deep 4ft I'm fine with that. The hot tub was 3ft and always group of men hanging out. Every day they have breakfast and lunch for the guests which is part of the deal. The resort is 20 minutes away from downtown Palm Springs which it's perfect. My first time visiting California and Palm Springs. I'm looking forward to coming back here in 2027.

Yes ....6 pm ! And in spite of that, our bathroom was not cleaned well. I have a video which looks worse but I will save the agony and not post it here. They apologized as they were really busy and gave us food credits to use for dinner but this is unacceptable for a hotel that charges thousands per night. We were there only for a night and this mishap started us off on a bad note. This aside , hotel really has good activity areas. I am a Platinum Elite member with Marriott group but did not get recognized for my status not was offered any elite privileges here. I would highly recommend the JW Marriott at Palm Springs compared to this one if you are a Platinum Elite member. The hallways , courtyard and property grounds are pretty. Lot of Activities for kids to be busy with. Overall , A good solid option for a Palm Springs getaway but check in staff needs to do a lot better !

MY 600TH REVIEW!!!!…read more I wanted to save #600 for someone special and Desert Star is the best! I was looking for a quality, reasonably priced hotel for a quick trip to Palm Springs and Yelp sent me the right way on this one for sure! These are just some of the things we loved: -calm atmosphere without being stuffy -bikes to use while you are there -bungalows with all the cooking facilities to make you feel at home -postcards pre-stamped in the room so we could write our friends -super stylish digs -nicely maintained pool area with fire pit -our own private patio with fire pit and BBQ -really, really sweet hosts who made us feel totally at home I just can't say enough good things about out experience. I have stayed at some super expensive 5 star hotels all over the world and nothing compared to this. This is hands down my favorite place I have ever stayed. When I am stressed out and wanting a vacation, being at the Desert Star is what I fantasize about!

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.

I intend to use all the amenities, including the pool and interact just like any other guest if you're staying there the eighth through the 11th come say hi or contact the hotel and let them know how you feel about being in such close quarters with somebody with monkeypox.

Great service overall during my stay…read more Location of the hotel was in the heart of Palm Springs which made things very convenient. Lots of shopping, restaurants, and museums within walking distance.

$$$$ even for Kimpton…read more The city's first rooftop pool on the seventh floor for amazing views. Bar service poolside for refreshments in the sizzling sun. Rooms decor modern style furnishings with high ceilings. Front desk service was cordial but do not expect old fashioned Kimpton care. The service culture has changed. Centrally located in the heart of downtown, walkable to almost all restaurants and bars.

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!
