She was able to sit by the pool with me, which was a unique experience at a hotel. The hotel grounds were very peaceful, zen-like, with lush greenery. It was very quiet, only a few rooms and everyone was respectful (not party central). The room was clean and comfortable. The only weird thing was our front door had a half inch gap even when locked, so it didn't seem very secure. With a dog in the room, we didn't worry about security haha.

From the moment we walked in through front gate, we found a very lush property with lots of beautiful oasis. We were greeted by Joni, who was very friendly and welcoming. She walked us to our suite, the Sedona where she described all the features of the suite and the hotel. Our suite was very charming, clean and included a private patio and hot-tub. The suite was well supplied with high end bath toiletries and robes. The pool was located steps outside our suite. The property is very quiet, perfect to relax and nap on the pool lounge chairs. We will definitely book again when back in Palm Springs.

I was sad I only stayed 1 night and couldn't use all the amenities including pizza oven! I was afraid there was not gonna be enough choices for breakfast but there was plenty. There was a weird water flushing sound which was a little annoying but nothing too serious. Room was spacious and kitchipnette stacked with snacks was a big plus. Easy to find and quite close to the center. Only downside was us only staying 1 night. I will recommend this place to all my friends!

​ Exceptional Stay - A True Hidden Gem! ​I would absolutely…read morestay here again and again! This is hands down the best hotel experience I have had in several years. ​A few highlights from my stay: ​The Aesthetic: The property is stunning, and the pictures online absolutely do it justice. ​World-Class Hospitality: Mike provided above-and-beyond service. This is the first hotel where I've ever been given a thorough, full-spectrum tour of the facilities and amenities upon arrival. It made me feel incredibly welcome. ​The Vibe & Amenities: Spending time here felt like living in a private vacation bungalow in Las Vegas. The swimming pool was pristine, the hot tub was absolutely perfect, and the overall atmosphere couldn't have been better. ​The Layout: While the parking lot is on the smaller side, it's a complete non-issue because the property is wonderfully intimate with a limited number of rooms (street parking is available too). ​I honestly cannot say enough good things about my time here. If I were ever going to book a long-term stay anywhere, this would be the place. 10 out of 10, highly recommend!

Now I stay there cuz it is sooooo nice and soooooo pet friendly. Everthing about it is delighful. The staff has always beem attentive and friendly. This time we interacted with Roberto and he did not disappoint. What I like most is that it is a small property. You don't have to go down a hallway to an elevator to anoher hall way to get to the pool, you literally just step out of your room! This hotel experience has made me realize that small hotels are where its at! And now when I travel, if I have the option, I book smaller spots.

The write up sounded interesting as they have an older side with bungalows and a newer side, which I gather are more like a normal property of this kind.. They have an excellent late check in policy which is perfect because I typically arrive about 8 to 10 PM. On my first visit, I couldn't see much of the property because it was dark, but what I could see was well lit and lush and beautiful, and my bungalow is really like a studio apartment. With its own private patio. It was exactly what I had hoped for and what I needed. This is my second time here and it's still terrific. The property is set up in such a way as you can sit and meet with other people if you want or you can pretty much stay to yourself. I have opted to stay secluded last time in this time, because I really just love the solitude. This is my new go to place in the desert. It's got a rich history and has a wonderful throwback vibe to old Hollywood when stars used to frequent Palm Springs. Do yourself a favor and at least check it out. I think you'll end up a return guest.

Descanso Resort is a well-run and welcoming men's retreat. The staff was attentive, the facilities…read morewere well-maintained, and the included meals were generous. All of this makes for a relaxing, social, and luxurious stay. Every staff member I met was friendly and focused on making guests comfortable. My week-long stay felt more like being hosted than just staying at a hotel. Staff were always around if needed but never intrusive, and any small requests were handled with care. The resort is in excellent condition. The grounds, pool deck, and common areas are always clean and well-maintained, showing that cleanliness is a daily priority. Both the pool and hot tub were spotless. My ground-level pool suite was spacious and well-decorated, making it perfect for a longer stay. Besides a comfortable bed, the room had a sofa, a desk, a chest of drawers, reliable Wi-Fi, and a large-screen TV. The layout made it easy to work, relax, or entertain without feeling cramped. A serene atmosphere makes it suitable for whatever you are looking for during your vacation. Being on the first floor, I did contend with overhead noise, as I could hear my neighbor walking around. However, I would choose a ground-floor, poolside room again for convenience. Breakfast and lunch are included in the room rate, and both offer plenty of options. Having fresh meals on-site made it easy to plan relaxed days by the pool or in my suite. The guest culture at Descanso is also special. During my week there, I found other guests to be fun and friendly. There's a nice balance: it's easy to have conversations, but there's no pressure to socialize. The clothing‑optional resort and compact layout foster a sense of ease and privacy, yet you are always just steps from your room, the pool, and the cantina, which keeps everything convenient. If you're thinking about staying here, I especially recommend Descanso if you value: * An upscale, men-only place with a friendly but calm atmosphere. * Large, comfortable rooms that feel like home, even for a week or longer. * Very clean pool and hot tub areas where you can easily spend most of your day. * Quality breakfast and lunch are included, making it much easier to plan your day. I will happily return to Descanso Resort and highly recommend it to gay men looking for a refined, relaxed Palm Springs getaway with great service, generous amenities, and a truly welcoming, social atmosphere.

Close to everything I wanted to do. If you haven't been to France, and always wanted to, stay here! If you expect Mid Century Modern, this one isn't for you. But you will feel like you're in France or perhaps Spain . Beautiful, calming, magical. So many lovely touches. Hummingbirds! So many, and they are used to be around people. So, they land and you can actually see them rather than a quick glance like usual. So cool. The grounds are beautiful with lots of natural food for them. They sleep in until about 8 am, although there are a few early risers. No children resort, definitely a plus for us! Quiet and Peaceful. The 'rooms' are centered around the pool, and just has a great feel to it. I say rooms in parentheses because they are so luxurious and comfortable, not like a hotel room. Lovely breakfast, with wine and cheese in the afternoon. Lots of special touches, such as cold water poolside. When have you ever found a blow dryer with attachments? Seriously? Attachments? You girls (and maybe some guys) will totally get this. Cookies In your room upon arrival. Very welcoming. I can't speak to of all of the rooms, but ours had a bidet. I know what one is, but never used one. I understand they're supposed to be fire. Blanca is a gem. She works very hard to make sure your visit is perfect. We can't wait to go back.

We stumbled on it…read more(via word of mouth) when we were trying to figure out what to do after our Hawaii trip was cancelled due to COVID. Well, we love it so much that this is our fourth time staying here. We have stayed in Blue Skies Villa, Villa Aurora, Villa del Palma, and checked into Shangri-la yesterday. Each villa is charming in its own way. The property management team gives a special welcome by setting the mood with mod sixties music playing on the surround sound speakers, providing a bottle of wine, cold bottled water and soft drinks, a fruit basket, ground coffee and pastries from their local bakery (Aspen Mills), which can I tell you, hands down is the best blueberry muffin I've ever had! Since this is our fourth time back in 9 months, Ginny (lovely property manager) had a fresh bouquet of fragrant Lilies waiting for us. The fruit basket contains two small cups of yogurt, a few small bags of nuts, banana, lemon, limes and a citrus fruit picked from one of their many citrus trees located throughout the villas. Shangri-la has a grapefruit tree. Villa del Palma has an orange tree, Villa Aurora has a grapefruit and orange tree and Blue Skies has an orange tree. Ginny is very attentive. When she found out that the cranberry loaf was my husband's favorite, she's had this waiting for us upon arrival. Each villa we chose to stay in has two bedrooms/2 baths, its own private pool and jacuzzi, two car garage, front patio with BBQ, surround sound stereo with built in speakers throughout the whole villa and each is equipped with cooking utensils/dishes, washer/dryer (detergent provided) and pool toys. Villa Aurora has a walk in spa with essential oils to help enhance the experience and Shangri-la has a third bathroom. The average nightly rate is between $325 - $395 (weekends have a higher rate). There is also a separate daily $35 utility surcharge. Not bad for everything!! I'd say that's a deal!
