Wow, wow, wow! This hotel was exactly what I needed. From the moment I arrived, all I wanted to do…read morewas stay, relax, and enjoy every bit of the property and that's exactly what I did. The views of the lake were absolutely beautiful. One of my favorite moments was sitting outside in the morning with a good book, enjoying the peaceful atmosphere. There is also an outdoor patio area where you can eat and take in the scenery. I loved seeing the fireplaces around the property too; I can imagine how cozy they must be during the cooler months. Now let's talk about one of the biggest perks: the pool is truly open 24 hours. Not "almost" 24 hours, actually 24 hours! I definitely took advantage of that and found myself enjoying the heated pool at 1:00 a.m. It was such a relaxing experience and something you don't find at many hotels. What really made this stay stand out, though, was the customer service. Every single employee I encountered was kind, welcoming, and eager to help. From check-in to check-out, the staff went above and beyond to make sure I had a great stay. The only potential downside is that there are no elevators. It wasn't an issue for me, but if you're traveling with a lot of luggage or have mobility concerns, it's something to keep in mind. I wasn't able to try the complimentary breakfast, which is offered from 7:00 a.m. to 9:30 a.m., so I can't speak on the food. But based on the rest of my experience, I would absolutely stay here again. If you're looking for a relaxing getaway with beautiful views, a heated pool you can enjoy anytime, and outstanding customer service, this place is definitely worth a visit.

Title: Beautiful hotel - but a confirmed booking was suddenly withdrawn…read more I truly wanted to love this hotel. In fact, I still wish our stay there had worked out. For context: every two years, I donate my time to mentor a small group of aspiring photographers who fly in to work with me for about a week. It's a non-profit initiative that continues the legacy of my own mentor when I was a teenager. For the upcoming workshop, we planned to start with two days around the Salton Sea, and this hotel looked like a wonderful fit. After some research, we contacted the hotel and asked if they could match an offer we had received for this hotel from the German travel portal HRS for five double rooms (two beds per room) for $1,848 all-inclusive for two nights, including breakfast. It was slightly above our budget, but we were willing to make it work. The sales manager replied: "I think I can work with you on the rate. I just want to make sure a single king-size bed in each room is ok and if 6 rooms will be enough for your group." We confirmed that arrangement, adjusted our group so most participants would share beds for the two nights, and accepted the sixth room offered to accommodate everyone. We then: - confirmed the booking - received and returned the credit card authorization form - drove to the hotel to inspect the property in person - cancelled the alternatives we had on hold Two days later, we received another message from the hotel explaining that the rate had been misunderstood internally -- it had been read as $1,848 per night rather than for the two-night stay. Unfortunately, despite a long email exchange, the hotel ultimately declined to honor the arrangement and suggested we look elsewhere. The result: we had to restart the search on short notice, and I will now make another 500-mile round trip to inspect the replacement hotel. That was disappointing, especially because the property itself looked lovely and we were genuinely excited about staying there. Mistakes can happen in any business. What matters is how they are handled. In this case, the solution was to ask the customer to absorb the consequences. If you plan to stay here, I would recommend confirming rates and all conditions very carefully, particularly since they upcharge a resort rate - and when scouting it, it felt like a very nice small boutique hotel to me, far away from a resort (which was fine to me, as we were looking for a place to sleep and leave after breakfast ;-)

This is my second time here because it's beautiful, secluded and gated. The units are very cozy…read morewith a great view of the mountains. I have booked 2 studios via Airbnb with smooth sailing. No issues. This gated community offers several pools that are kept very clean, a gym, and saunas. Located very close to Old Town La Quinta which is super cute. Okay, now for the downside: *The lower units tend to have the AC unit located outside the wall where the bed is. Noisy. Bring ear plugs! *The renters, tenants etc above tend to be loud and it can sound like they are running a marathon from time to time. *Upper Units are preferable to me *If your studio is separated to another unit by a security door you can hear the people. They need a sound proof door!!! *No one bothers to adhere to the "pool rules." Kids do run, people bring speakers and play their music when it clearly states "No music unless you wear headphones or ear pods. -Plenty of parking -They just installed EV chargers-Yay! Would definitely continue to stay here. I just know what to avoid:)

Big spacious rooms and furnished with pleasant furniture. Kitchen was well equipped. A sign informed us that there were 8 pool towels and $25 for each missing towels.

Soooooo. 5 stars with a caveat. You're gonna pay... and pay.. nothing here is inexpensive. But if…read moreyou have the extra $$ it's worth every penny. So what differentiates this from other Palm Springs area resorts? The service, by far. The property is phenomenal and the upkeep and maintenance is good, on par with other places. For example, at the pool, we found straws from the previous guest, etc. not a deal breaker, but something to observe. But everyone I interacted with genuinely seemed like they wanted us to have a good time. If it was fake, it was very good acting. From the valet to check in, amazing! Javier checked us in. 7 out of 5. Stress free. The pool area, 8 out of 5. Off the charts. Attention management: I stay at a lot of hotels and resorts. And though I'm sometimes overly generous with my ratings, I can honestly say Dru is the best server I've had, ever. She should run the joint! I wish I could give her a raise. Evan was pretty bad ass too and should be commended! Will I be back? 100 percent. Amazing property, rooms are great, staff is awesome. Food is good, but avoid the breakfast buffet at Rockwood. $40 for powdered eggs is no bueno! Other than that, you'll love it here!

We stayed at the JW Marriott Desert Springs Resort & Spa over the Fourth of July weekend, and…read moredespite how busy it was, the resort handled the crowds really well. The staff was attentive, and everything felt well organized. We had dinner at Aquifer65 & JW Sushi Bar one night, and it was fantastic. We also enjoyed dinner at Mikado Japanese Steakhouse, where the hibachi experience was both entertaining and delicious. The rooms are a bit underwhelming compared to the rest of the property, but the overall experience more than makes up for it. The pools, grounds, and amenities make this a great place to spend a long weekend. I'd definitely recommend staying here--just be prepared if you're visiting in the summer. The 104-degree desert heat is no joke, so plan on spending plenty of time in the pool and staying hydrated!

GRAND HYATT INDIAN WELLS RESORT & VILLAS @ INDIAN WELLS…read more Parking is $35 a day for self parking, which adds up over a few nights. There's plenty of space in the lot so you're never circling for a spot, but just be aware of the cost going in. The lobby is actually pretty small for a resort this size, which surprised me. There's a Starbucks right inside though, which was clutch in the mornings. The property is spread out, so they have golf carts running around to shuttle you between buildings, which is a nice touch if you don't feel like walking. I stayed in a king room and it was clean and comfortable with a nice patio. Friends of ours were in one of the villas and those were really nice, way more space if you're traveling with a group. Rooms here run around $500 a night and up depending on the season, so it's not a cheap stay. The pools are the main draw, they have nine of them plus HyTides waterpark with the slides and lazy river. Fair warning, they were absolutely packed with kids when we went. This is very much a family resort more than an adults getaway. There is an adults only Oasis pool if you want somewhere quieter, which I'd recommend if you're not traveling with kids. Overall a solid stay, just go in knowing what kind of place it is.

No complaints other than that!

Attentive, proactive, responsive and thoughtful. He helped us out with our lounge chairs, described all the amenities beautifully, gave great suggestions on food, and really anticipated all our needs! We will definitely come back just because of this service alone. On other days Elvia was super helpful, always aware of who needed water poolside and anticipated when we wanted to order food and drinks. We went one day without any room refresh service that the hotel made up for with extra waters and detailed service the next day. The only thing I'd recommend to the hotel is to do more detailed cleanup of their buildings on the exterior areas, especially in the corners. Lots of dust and webs. I think this level of detail would help elevate the feel.

We tried connecting our phone to the tv the same way we had done on the first room. But keeps saying the tv doesn't have network connection. We used the phone that's in the room to call the front desk and guess what?? Yuppppp our phone in the room doesn't work ether!!!! Now it's 11 pm and we're waiting for IT service guy to come to our room to fix it. It's bad enough the bed bug issue we had at the first room and now we're having other issues in this other room they put us. It's an uncomfortable feeling having someone to come to your room at this time at night to fix something that shouldn't have even been messed up. It's a new room they sent us too so all this should have been taken care of prior to moving us. Very upset that all this is happening on my finances birthday and will never come here again. Absolutely horrible! I put the photos for proof

But what truly made my stay stand out was the exceptional service, especially from Summer at check-in. Summer went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect from the start. She greeted me with such a warm, genuine smile that instantly made me feel welcome and taken care of. You can tell right away when someone truly enjoys what they do, and that was exactly the energy she gave. She didn't just rush through the check-in process she took her time to explain everything clearly, from the amenities to the spa services, and even gave personalized recommendations that made my stay so much better. What really stood out was how attentive and detail oriented she was. She made sure my room preferences were met without me even having to ask twice, and she answered all my questions with patience and professionalism. It felt less like a standard hotel check-in and more like a personalized concierge experience. That level of care is rare and honestly set the tone for the entire visit. The hotel itself is beautiful clean, stylish, and peaceful but its employees like Summer who truly elevate the experience. She made me feel valued as a guest, not just another reservation. Because of her, I would absolutely return and recommend this hotel to anyone looking for both luxury and outstanding service. Thank you, Summer, for making my stay unforgettable!
