The JW Marriott Desert Springs Resort & Spa continues to check all the boxes when you need a…read morereminder of just how beautiful a California desert truly is. This property is both a family and couples Desert dream. My husband and son love the golf course especially early in the morning when the sun has not quite baked the course. I enjoy the onsite Starbucks and rejuvenating spa. The grandbabies love the flamingo habitat, the boats, the koi pond, the arcade and the miniature golf course in no particular order. There are plenty of onsite restaurants to choose from including a Sushi Bar in the middle of the main hotel lower lobby with a view of the lake which is also in the main hotel's lower lobby. There is a cigar lounge, and plenty of shops all on property. Busy moms and Mimi's alike would appreciate such conveniences. You will only find helpful, knowledgeable and courteous staff here. Note: The Resort fee covers driving range, bicycles, and mini golf. The JW Marriott Desert Springs is a top tier staycation for sure.

I'd give this place 3.5 stars. It's a nice property, rooms looked like they've been redone in the…read morepast 2-5 years. I think the rest of the hotel could use some upgrading. 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.

One of my favorite resorts to stay at in Palm Springs…read more This property is so beautiful and welcoming! I love how once you check in, you are welcomed with water, welcome drinks, and if different social events. This may I came during Mother's Day and they offered free cocktails and bites. The rooms are huge, and the views are amazing. I had a view of the golf course. Besides that there are multiple pools; adult, the regular pool and splashtopia (lazy river and slides). What's nice is that during summer nights they have movies by the pool. There is also a gym, few restaurants, and tiki social. There is free parking as well as parking for the guests. Wonderful stay with your loved ones, friends and or family.

1.5 STARS. As a loyal, four-year returning guest as a…read morefamily, this stay was completely unacceptable. Our initial room was infested with mosquitoes, forcing us to wake our four-year-old in the middle of the night to switch rooms. The replacement room was worse, featuring broken bathroom tiles and brown running water. We attempted to call the front desk but no one answered. We let the water run for 30 mins and that seemed to help. We are also incredibly disappointed with our recent experience at the pool. For a $400 rental fee at the gazebo I expected a luxurious, relaxing day, but it fell flat on every front. It took over 45 minutes just to put in our initial drink orders. The staff seemed inattentive and overwhelmed, which made us feel completely neglected. The physical condition of the gazebo was awful. The privacy buckles were broken, and the space was downright filthy. For the price being charged, basic upkeep and cleanliness should be a bare minimum. Like I said, it's our fourth year in a row coming to this location as a family and it was the first time we felt the amount spent and the quality of the experience fell short this year.

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. When we returned later that day, I was thrilled to find my earring safely waiting in the room along with a note from Edgar. He took the time and effort to retrieve it, and I was incredibly grateful. What could have been a disappointing vacation moment turned into a great memory because of his kindness and willingness to help. Employees like Edgar make a real difference and are a wonderful reflection of the level of service provided here. Thank you, Edgar, for going above and beyond!

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.

You have the option to valet or self-park, either way you'll be paying for overnight parking. Check-in was a breeze and our room was larger than we expected and clean. 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. This is solely a warning. Don't book a romantic couples getaway here thinking it'll be relaxing. Stick to the boutique hotels!

I spent $1000 on top of that we have a $45 valet fee for every day and poorly maintained. The rooms were not clean upon arrival, and overall cleanliness throughout the property was lacking. To make matters worse, the air conditioner did not work and our room was at 78° and I called the front office and no one ever came up which is unacceptable at this price point. The pool area, which is supposed to be one of the highlights of the hotel, was also disappointing. The water did not appear clean, no where is the waitresses to come to our pool after we spent over 1000 for the weekend. For the price charged, I expected a much higher standard in terms of cleanliness, service, and overall upkeep. Unfortunately, this was not the case, and I would not choose to stay here again.

Yes ....6 pm ! And in spite of that, our bathroom was not cleaned well. I have a video which looks worse but I will save the agony and not post it here. They apologized as they were really busy and gave us food credits to use for dinner but this is unacceptable for a hotel that charges thousands per night. We were there only for a night and this mishap started us off on a bad note. This aside , hotel really has good activity areas. I am a Platinum Elite member with Marriott group but did not get recognized for my status not was offered any elite privileges here. I would highly recommend the JW Marriott at Palm Springs compared to this one if you are a Platinum Elite member. The hallways , courtyard and property grounds are pretty. Lot of Activities for kids to be busy with. Overall , A good solid option for a Palm Springs getaway but check in staff needs to do a lot better !

In fact, spending the 4th of July here with our kids has become a tradition that we all look forward to every year. The resort is absolutely beautiful, with breathtaking mountain views, towering palm trees, and a gorgeous pool area that feels like a tropical oasis. The waterfall features are so relaxing, and there are plenty of lounge chairs to spend the day soaking up the sun. The pool is perfect for both adults and kids, making it easy for everyone to have a great time. One of the things we love most is that there's always something to do. Between the pool, cornhole, foosball, ping pong, and all the open spaces to relax and spend quality time together, our family is never bored. In the evenings, we love hanging out around the outdoor seating areas and simply enjoying the beautiful resort grounds. The rooms are comfortable, the property is well maintained, and the staff has always been friendly and welcoming. Every visit has been filled with wonderful memories, and that's why we continue coming back year after year. If you're looking for a relaxing, family-friendly resort in the Palm Springs area, I highly recommend the Renaissance Esmeralda. It's become one of our favorite traditions, and we can't wait for our next stay!

From the moment we pulled up, we were made to feel welcome. The valet staff, front desk team, and even the barista at the coffee bar were all friendly, professional, and genuinely seemed happy to help. Our room was spacious, spotless, and very comfortable. The bathroom was equally impressive, with a large shower and plenty of room to get ready. We especially enjoyed relaxing on our balcony and taking in the beautiful view. The amenities were excellent as well. Whether you're looking to unwind at the spa, get in a workout at the gym, or spend time by the pool, this property has something for everyone. The location is another big plus, with plenty of restaurants and shops just a short distance away, making it easy to explore the area without spending much time in the car. Overall, we had a fantastic stay and wouldn't hesitate to return. This hotel exceeded our expectations and made for a truly enjoyable getaway.

I own numerous shirts, shorts, and other Tommy Bahama garments. The staff is very unrefined and even came across totally uninterested in helping (at the front desk) and bored. Bar staff having loud personal conversations while ignoring bar patrons. All in all, it just didn't feel like a high-end resort, and there was a general lack of care and attentiveness across the board. A manager checked in with us during our dinner, at which point I communicated that we had been provided no forks for our dessert--and the response was something akin to "I ALWAYS get on them about this!" or "I have to remind them over and over..." So this was apparently a common issue. Again, front desk employees don't care--there was no explaining that there are bikes available to guests or citrus to pick and get juiced. Not welcoming. And barely acknowledged me when I dropped the keys off as I checked out. WiFi was bad in the room--but front desk didn't pick up when I called. Also poor cell service on the property. The food was good and the property looks lovely. Room was nice. Although you could see the bathroom door was swelled from water damage. And that looks tacky. It feels like there's a lack of good candidates for staffing in the desert. And perhaps poor training. I want to feel like the staff wants to be there. Pretend and help keep up the illusion. Both my girlfriend and I left feeling a bit disappointed--and seeing the cracks in the illusion.

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!
