It's conveniently located to the slopes and to downtown. Parking is easy. The house has always been clean when we arrive and check in is easy as well. The bedrooms are each equipped to sleep a full young family and there are plenty of towels, sheets, and blankets. The best part is the entertainment options. It's not an empty house. You walk in and there are things to do from little kid toys, to arcades, and a pool table. TV works well and the couches are comfortable. Would highly recommend this cabin for 2-3 families comfortably. 4th family could work also if people are ok sleeping on the couches. (I would be!)

We pay a lot to stay here but can't use the pool area. I thought it would be a fun family stay but we barely were able to use the pools. I was willing to pay for the reserved seating and cabanas but they were all taken too. I requested extra towels and pillows which took 2 hours and multiple calls to have them delivered. I can't recommend this resort. There's plenty of other options around the area. We expressed our concerns with the front desk while checking out. They said they'd give our feedback to housekeeping and the pool manager. They totally passed the buck and were unwilling to try and make up for the experience in any way. They weren't apologetic about it at all. I was shocked.

I'm writing this review with genuine disappointment, as I had high expectations for a property that…read moremarkets itself as a premier country club experience. Unfortunately, my recent visit fell far short of the standard one would reasonably expect from an establishment in this category. From the moment I arrived, the service felt disorganized and inattentive. Staff members appeared disengaged, offering little acknowledgment or direction, creating an atmosphere that felt more chaotic than welcoming. Simple requests seemed to be met with confusion or indifference, and at no point did anyone step in to provide the level of hospitality that should define a country club environment. The facilities themselves also left much to be desired. Areas that are typically considered showpieces -- such as the dining room, locker rooms, and outdoor spaces -- showed signs of neglect. Tables were not promptly cleared, chairs were left out of place, and overall cleanliness did not reflect the premium status this club claims to uphold. For the cost of membership and the reputation they promote, these oversights are not minor; they are indicators of deeper issues in management and quality control. Dining was equally underwhelming. The menu felt uninspired, and the dishes lacked both presentation and flavor. Even basic items arrived lukewarm or poorly seasoned, which suggests a lack of attention from the culinary team. For a club that should pride itself on offering an elevated dining experience, this was perhaps the most surprising disappointment of the evening. I do believe this property has tremendous potential, but my experience made it clear that significant improvements in service, training, and operational oversight are needed. I hope management takes these concerns seriously, as members and guests deserve far better.

Just today she had to come back to the table after we order to double check what we got because she NEVER writes anything down. The food was very lackluster. The chili had no flavor so we had to throw a lot of salt in. The sauce for the sweet potato fries was bland. The best part of the meal was the Fritos that came with the chili, and that should say something about the quality of the food. I very much prefer coming here for a holiday with a buffet where I know the food will be good.

We have known Gerardo for years and he is an amazing authentic and compassionate man with a gift to serve. I often state that people and relationship far exceed the location or event and here at JW you get the best of both worlds. Wonderful people and a slice of heaven here in Palm Desert. Veronica provided us a lovely view suite with the comforts of home. Marriott offers the best in their JW lineup and we are so pleased with the amenities, choices of dining and options including the spa, fitness center and even a boat ride around the Facilities. The staff truly made our stay 5 plus stars and tomorrow we celebrate my wife's birthday at Mikado another wonderful option at JW Marriott. Being a Bonvouy card holder the point system, features and membership offers are terrific and we utilize them often. Also Michelle is housekeeping was super efficient and very kind. Great lodging, dining, amenities and an amazing array of staff members who welcome and treat you like family. A Starbucks on site, music on Friday's, Saturday's and Sunday's a great breakfast option at Starwood, several bars, multiple pools and water features, shops on site and even a nightclub. An amazing resort and highly recommended.
