10/10 Exceptional

The unit was perfect for a weekend getaway. The staff at the front desk were very helpful. If staying in Palm Desert, I highly suggest this location compared to the other big name resorts. The grounds are beautiful and well maintained, there are pickleball courts, tennis courts and a golf course. The highlight of my trip is always the giant figure 8 swimming pool. 10/10 recommend this resort!

2/10 Poor

The room we had, had broken blinds, old apples, ac wasn’t working well and it was loud, no body soap and shower was dirty. The shower floor had peeling rubber, knob was hard to pull to turn in, water ran only warm. From pictures online I thought it was great! But once there, it was awful! Best Western was cleaner. Never again.

We rented two Villas. They were both clean, comfortable and private. Very quiet resort and lots of Amenities. Only down side was our two villas were not next to each other so the larger group was a bit split up. Great quiet and restful stay - highly recommend this resort.

10/10 Exceptional

The front office staff is friendly and helpful with maps of the property. Parking logistics. Etc. The 3 bedroom unit we rented for the weekend was wonderful! Spacious and a private green backyard with chairs and a fire pit. Large kitchen and living room plenty of space for us to work during the day. Nice community pool. The garage held two cars in tight quarters but plenty of parking around the property. Loved everything about the property!

Bathroom had low pressure had to flush multiple times to flush all the way, air conditioner was so noisy. Condensation was dripping by vent near front door.

6/10 Good

No room service. Rooms were marginal. Tv could not get DirectTV. Rooms looked slightly updated, but the quality of the craftsmanship was questionable. For example the floor in the shower did not drain properly. There was a low spot in the floor of the tub where water gathered. Door was not sealed on the bottom. Hide-a-bed was not made up or had sheets available.

10/10 Exceptional

Room was great. I asked the staff about the on-site/golf course side bar/restaurant and what kind of food did they serve. He was 100% wrong. At that point it would be better to say you don't know rather than give a wrong answer. We were fine and this didn't affect our stay or satisfaction at all.
