    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!

I accidentally dropped one of my earrings down the bathroom sink drain and was convinced it was gone for good. I reported it to the front desk and hoped for the best.

    Our stay began on June 16th at 4:00 PM. Upon arrival, we waited in line to check in. Prior to our…read moretrip, my husband had made several attempts--over the course of months--to upgrade our reservation to a two-bedroom unit. Each call to the 1-800 number involved wait times exceeding 45 minutes, but we were consistently reassured that an upgrade could be accommodated upon arrival. Unfortunately, this was not the case. At check-in, the front desk informed us they could not assist and directed us to contact the 1-800 number again. After doing so, we spoke with a representative who reviewed the notes from our previous calls and confirmed that an upgrade should be possible. We were advised to request a manager upon returning to the desk. However, after waiting in line again and explaining the situation, the manager declined to come out and instead relayed through staff that the last two-bedroom unit had already been taken. As a family of five, a one-bedroom was not suitable, but we decided to move forward and make the best of the situation. Upon arriving at Building 6, we were immediately concerned by the condition of the property. The stairwells had visible cobwebs and scattered trash, giving the impression of poor upkeep. When we entered the unit, it was clear the space was not well designed for comfort. The living area was cramped due to excessive, unnecessary furniture, and both the living room and bedroom felt tight and poorly arranged. The bathroom was adequately sized but only had a single sink. The shower/tub leaked water, and the shower curtain appeared insufficient, which likely contributed to visible water damage. There was also noticeable mold and general uncleanliness in the bathroom. The carpeting throughout the unit appeared heavily soiled. The pool experience was also disappointing. The property advertises multiple pools, including two with water slides. On our second day, we attempted to enjoy these amenities, only to find that one of the main pools connected to a slide was closed, with assurances it would reopen the following day. At the main pool, we found the patio furniture in poor condition--cushions were torn and visibly dirty--and the pool water itself appeared unclean. Additionally, there was ongoing construction nearby, which disrupted the environment and required guests, including my daughter, to repeatedly accommodate workers passing through. We moved to a quieter pool area, which was somewhat better, but the water still appeared less than clean. On the third day, the previously closed pool remained unavailable, adding to our frustration. We eventually found another pool area that was better maintained, with cleaner seating. Food service was also inconvenient, as everything had to be ordered through a mobile system with no traditional waitstaff, which made the experience less enjoyable. Other issues included receiving extra blankets and pillows delivered in trash bags, which felt highly unprofessional. The pull-out sofa bed was in poor condition, with torn bedding and what appeared to be stains on the mattress. Overall, after four days, we were ready to return home. This was one of the most disappointing stays we have experienced. The lack of cleanliness, poor maintenance, and unresponsive customer service made it difficult to enjoy what should have been a relaxing family trip.

I booked here because I have a toddler and knew they had a splash pad, lazy river, wading pool, and other regular pools. The first day we got to the pool around 3 and finding chairs in the shade next to each other was easy. The next day was a different story. Guests will go out to the pool first thing in the morning to lay out their towels and then leave it unattended for hours on end. We also noticed the pool looks great in the early part of the day but by the late afternoon the pool is murky. I get it, that's going to happen when there's that many people using the pool but still. I only recommend this hotel to young families. I couldn't imagine coming here with just my husband. There are kids everywhere. They dominate the pools and you'll see them running through the lobby and down the halls. None of this bothered us with our toddler and like I said, I booked here knowing what I was getting.
