    Beautiful landscape throughout the resort. Clean, quiet pools.
    Sylvia C.

    We recently stayed at Hilton Grand Vacations Club. We were looking for a quick getaway on the 4th of July and found a great deal on Hotwire for a 1 bedroom Terrace Premier room. We stay at the Marriott in Palm Desert every year so we were looking forward to checking out something new. The service was excellent. We were even given a tour of the amenities by the manager. They have family and quiet pools to suit your needs. The main pool area is great! It has a very nice little fitness room, a movie theater, a small arcade with some video game machines, air hockey, and foosball. Outside there is a shaded kiddie pool, a volleyball net in the main pool, as well as pickleball, tennis, and a basketball court. They also have a pool table and a ping pong table, and bikes you can use. So much to do! The other guests were all respectful and pretty quiet, something that our stays at the Marriott have been missing lately. Our room was clean and pretty spacious. The kitchen was smallish but well equipped. My favorite part of the room was the private patio with a fireplace! We really enjoyed our stay at this resort and will definitely be back!

    Hilton Grand Vacations is a fantastic villa resort club with full amenities available. It has pools, hot tub jacuzzi, arcade, foosball table, air hockey table, private movie theater with surround sound, basketball court, tennis court, ping pong table, EV Charging Stations, and more! The rooms are so big and come in studio, 1 bedroom, or 2 bedroom lock off with kitchen option available. Both shower hot tub and large walk-in shower are included in some of the units. The staff are extremely friendly and have the highest standards. They smile and greet their guests with respect. Beautiful buildings and outdoor surroundings with plenty of trees for guests to enjoy and relax.

    Great quick overnight stay. We were pleasantly surprised at the comfort and beauty of the suite & grounds. Immaculate. Will definitely stay here again.

    Great place to stay, so clean and well maintained. The only reason i don't rate higher is the mattress, lumpiest and worst bed i have ever slept on. Everything else was great, walking distance to grocery store, coffee shop, pharmacy, nice pool areas, very clean. Bikes available, grill available for use, nice staff.

    I am such a fan of the Palm Springs area. It's hard to even explain. So when I found this place after my AirBNB fell through, I was so excited. All the reviews in the world do not do it justice. For me, it was such a lovely experience. The property is beautifully landscaped, private, serene. A complete escape from LA, including traffic. 4 pools. We spent time in each but adored the adult pool for the quiet. I saw someone say it's not for kids but I saw kids and they seemed to be having a good time. Heck, I turned into a kid when I found the arcade. I played tennis. I played basketball. I played ping pong and I lounged. The unit itself was pristine. I loved the old school vibe and the shower on the private deck was icing on the cake. We stayed for 4 days and only hope we can find another deal like the one I somehow got blessed with. The staff was super friendly too. If you want a low key, relaxing place to get away from the rat race, book now!

    My boyfriend's family and I stayed at Club Intrawest in August to finish off the summer with a fun trip to Palm Desert. My boyfriend's parents are members of the Hilton Grand Vacations Club and this is one of the resorts to choose from. The resort is spectacular - a southwestern style feel throughout - well fitting with the Palm Desert landscape. We stayed in a one-bedroom suite which included a kitchenette, living room area, nice sized bathroom with a full shower, an outdoor shower off the bedroom, and a spacious outdoor patio with a fireplace. There was a pool close to our room, but we found that the pool near the front desk was a lot bigger and even had a volleyball net set up. We also found out that they have an arcade room and pool table by the big pool, so we ended up spending a lot of time there. The resort staff was extremely friendly and accommodating. If you ever needed anything, they were there to help you. They have a great entertainment rental program at the front desk if you want to borrow DVDs or board games and take them to your room. They have a whole binder full of movie titles and board games to choose from. All you have to do is request it, and if it isn't already checked out by another guest, you can take it to your room right away! That worked out great for us when my boyfriend, his sister, and I didn't feel like swimming and wanted to watch a movie! With all the positives, there were only a few negatives. For one, the shower in the bathroom was poorly designed. There was no door or curtain set up for the shower at all. I was completely shocked by this - I mean, water would get EVERYWHERE. So my boyfriend and I avoided that shower and stuck with the outdoor one with our bathing suits on. Talk about weird. The other issue we had was that there was little to no shelter from the rain near the pools. During the summer, even though you're in Palm Desert, there's still going to be rain! So we had all our belongings by the pool, including phones, room keys, dry towels, and the only "shelter" from the rain were these little umbrellas that just did not work to keep the water off our stuff. Even the "roof" near the front desk building was basically a grate, letting rain right through, so that didn't work either. So that was extremely frustrating. We suggest that you either leave most of your belongings in your room - or bring a bag to put them in! But all in all, we had a great time at Club Intrawest - we'd definitely recommend it to other Hilton Grand Vacation Club members and other guests as well!

Lots of the pool chairs looked like they've seen better days as well as hallways and other common areas. The thing that was the most off putting is the pool seems like it's turned into a public pool. No key card is needed, no one is watching the door... anyone can walk in. I definitely noticed a lot of people who seemed to be using the pool that weren't staying at the hotel. Overall, I rather stay at other Marriott properties. The extra money isn't worth staying here.

We booked 2 rooms, and one of them had a horrible smell of bleach and medicine. It was so bad that we immediately asked for a different room. We then had to wait over an hour with all of our guests before getting another room. What made it worse was that the staff admitted they would not give that room to anyone else because of the smell, yet they were originally ready to give it to us. Then both rooms had toilet issues. One of the toilets was clogged and not functioning properly from the beginning, which created another mess and forced us to get a third room. On top of that, most of the room keys they gave us did not work properly. The staff was aware of the issue, but even the replacement keys were malfunctioning. We constantly had to share keys between family members just to get into our rooms. After all of that, we decided to relax by the pool and enjoy some quiet music with our family. There were other guests around us enjoying themselves as well, and the music was not loud or disruptive. However, one staff member approached us very rudely and told us we could not play music. We explained that we have been coming here for 22 years and this had never been an issue before. Her response was, "That's fine, you don't have to come back here," which was extremely rude and unprofessional. She also made comments about calling security if she had to repeat herself, which felt more like a threat than customer service. It is very disappointing to see such a nice establishment damage its reputation because of poorly trained and unprofessional staff who clearly do not know how to communicate with guests or provide proper customer service.

This was a family/work trip, and we chose the hotel for the kid-friendly water features (ages 8 and 3). The room was very dated (so expect that going in) but very clean--I could tell by how clean my kids' feet stayed after running around barefoot. The king room with a pull-out couch was a big plus. The hotel accommodated our request for a ground-floor room with easy access to the main areas. Being able to walk from our patio to the restaurants in about two minutes made things much easier with kids. The "water park" is more of a well-done kids pool and splash pad than a full water park, but the kids still had a great time. Poolside service was great--generous portions, and the kids loved their chicken tenders and fries. I didn't enjoy a drink myself but the drink menu was tempting and others seemed to be enjoying themselves. We were excited about the breakfast buffet at the Desert Pearl. Pricing was reasonable for kids, though the adult options weren't especially appealing so I decided to pass. What really stood out was the staff--every single person we encountered (front desk, restaurant staff, bellman, security, and pool team) was friendly, patient, and accommodating. When we discovered after checkout that my son left his lovey there, they drove me back via golf cart to try to retrieve it. Overall, everyone offered a level of service made a lasting impression. The only downside was finding quite a few mosquitoes and a moth in the room, likely due to our proximity to the lake. If the room were a bit more updated, pest-free, and did not come with the Coachella tax we paid, this would've easily been a 5-star stay for us.

Great decision. This is a newer property and it shows. Everything felt clean, modern, and well kept. My room was quiet, comfortable, and exactly what I needed. The air conditioning gets seriously cold, which is a big win out here. Beds were comfortable, and the mini fridge was actually spacious enough for drinks and snacks, which is not always the case. I used the pool a few times. It is decent, though there is not a ton of shade and the metal chairs get very hot in the sun, so just be aware. Breakfast is included and offers plenty of options to get your day started. It is not trying to be anything fancy, but it is more than sufficient and better than expected for this category. Location wise, you are a short drive, about 15 minutes, from El Paseo, but there are several walkable dining options nearby that are better than average. All in, I really enjoyed my stay and found the rates to be very reasonable. I will gladly give credit where it is due. I would absolutely stay here again and even signed up for IHG rewards because of it. 5 stars.

During conferences or events, they may close certain parts of the hotel to other guests. That happened to me but didn't affect my impression of the hotel. I did speak with front desk to get some fees waived due to facilities being closed to non-conference guests. The other thing is with this resort fees, there's nothing worth any value included. So they advertise fitness facility and internet. That is basic and should be included in the rate, not resort fee. If you want to use the sauna in the spa, that's another $50 day pass fee on top of the resort fee. I understand other hotels do this but I am not into normalizing this. This is more a practice in the US, when you travel to Asia and Europe, saunas are at least included. Fees on top of rates on top of fees is a continuing practice at US hotels that I will be calling out and reflecting in reviews and to hotel staff. Anyway, I wouldn't recommend this hotel. It's fine if you want to check it out. I've stayed at other hotels in the area and would recommend those, esp at this price point you have the world of options.
