Quiet and peaceful. Beautiful surroundings. Not much to do in the town of desert hot springs. We did a day trip to idyllwild for a change of scenery. Nice little town for hiking, shopping. We also toured joshua tree national park which was beautiful. It is an all day trip for each one.

Fun little oasis in the windy desert

Reviewed By sinsaratea

Stayed here for one night but would have enjoyed a longer visit. Check in was easy. Thankfully we got a first-floor room, just steps from the courtyard pools. Two hot tubs to choose from and a good sized pool. Location is good--just a short drive from many restaurants and stores. Not super upscale but the price is right and I felt comfortable there. Mattress was a bit firm and lumpy as mentioned in another review. Overall, I would stay again!

Looked for a daycation for my son and I to relax and spend some quality time. This place had a heated pool, mineral spa, outdoor and indoor jacuzzi, Salt room and cooling room, a ton of Spa services too. The hotel accommodations were more of a 3 star rating but the Zen type atmosphere is 5 star if you are wanting peace, quiet and healing. It is a desert themed facility, comfortable rooms and has a cafe that serves healthy food. This place is highly recommended for groups, couples or singles to reflect, relax and meditate on life.

This place hit all the right notes and I can't say enough good things about it! It is well cared for in terms of maintenance and no detail is missed. It's clear the owners love this place and have put years of care and creativity into it. It's basically an Italian Villa complete with three mineral pools: cool(ish), warm, and hot. The pool area has plenty of room and a variety of soft surfaces to relax on in sun or shade. The breakfast room is pure charm and you have two large gardens to choose from as you eat. The bed was super soft and the room spacious. Whether or not you like kids, you'll appreciate the quiet of a kid free resort. The pool area is open 24 hours if you like an evening dip (we did). Grocery stores are nearby to keep you fed as you use your room's kitchenette. I was traveling for work so chose the location so my girlfriend would have a great place to lounge during the day. I checked the couple box though because it felt like a vacation the moment I got back. Though we didn't use the spa services, we could see into those spaces and they looked really wonderful. Smelled good, too!
