We really took full advantage of everything the spa had to offer, including the salt room, ice room, and all of the unique spa amenities. There was something so special about being able to spend the day moving between the different experiences and completely disconnecting from everyday life.

She was absolutely wonderful and made the experience even more relaxing and memorable. I left feeling completely rejuvenated. Between the beautiful suite, unique spa amenities, immaculate grounds, wonderful staff, and exceptional massage, Azure Spa exceeded our expectations in every way. We absolutely loved our two-night stay and will 100% be back!

We booked the Dunes for a relaxing trip to Palm Springs to spend time next to the pool…read more Unfortunately, the pool and Spa had a nasty body scum ring that circled the whole entire pool and hot tub, floating debris in the hot tub, you could take your fingernail along the rim of the pool or the hot tub and scrape all the body gunk and scum off with the buildup piling up under your fingernail. The pool was filled with cloudy bluish green water... I reported this to management on the second day, they followed up with I'm sorry, I would be disappointed as well, and that they will have their pool and maintenance team on it right away... That was just something to say try to make me feel better, never once during our stay did pool maintenance or pool cleaning company come and test the water or try or attempt to clean the pool or Hot Tub. The whole idea was to get away from the busy world and to come out to Palmsprings to soak in the pool and Hot Tub was a complete failure... Although our check-in process with Paulina was pleasant, the management and the ownership completely dropped the ball, and clearly showed that they do not care about the cleanliness of the pool, I am confident that if sanitary testing measures were taken, the pool would be shut down due to the filthy nature of the water and disgusting body scum ring. There are 1 vending machine only had Diet Coke left, and the snacks were stale. I would not recommend the dunes.

Yet the lobby was being painted and was off limits to sit down or even go into other than the check in area. As soon as we walked through the doors to get to our room, we were hit with a heat wave. I assumed hotel meant something different but this seamed like a renovated motel. The elevator was hot and tiny and felt like it might break down. All the doors are facing outside. We got in and it was cooler but not as cold as I wanted. I looked at the box ac on the wall and it had a limit of 72 degrees and no lower. Because it was coming out of the box and one of the beds was so close, my head was freezing but if you walked to the bathroom, it was hot. Central air would have been nice in that hot heat. I will say it was very clean and had good size shampoo, conditioner and soap. The bed was super soft and comfy. The walls were thin. The WiFi worked well, I was able to work from there. The best part is probably the location. It is walking distance to everything. Would I stay there again, No. I definitely would need central air and real hotel amenities. We didn't even look at the pool. It's fine probably if you won't be in the hotel much and just want something close to everything. But if you want a relaxing hotel with a restaurant and everything is indoors, then this is not it.

First off the sweetest front desk concierge Ruben greeted me with a special champagne drink upon my arrival. When he came to my car to get me and greeted me with his dazzling and inviting smile, I knew this place was like no other. Ruben really cares for his guests and absolutely loves his job. Finding this kind of hospitality that Ruben provided is hard to find these days, he deserves to be the General Manager of this place! He went above and beyond for us and made us feel like family, he also gave us a brief history lesson of the hotel and surroundings. There was also another young gentleman with glasses at the front who was a darling as well, he too was very knowledgeable about the history of the hotel and shared some interesting facts.The desert landscape inside the hotel is immaculate and the rooms are spot less. I was taken here as a birthday gift celebration and it was just devine. The amazing claw bathtub was just everything to me! It is my life's dream to have one of these tubs and this beauty is perfectly situated in the outside patio area completely private. Sweetheart Ruben gave me some bath bombs and bubbles to enjoy in this beautiful tub.Everything about this hotel far exceeded my expectations and it's no surprise this is a twice rated 2024 and 2025 Michelin establishment.

The property is perfectly maintained and rooms have been nicely updated. Our last trip was perfect. It was our first trip with a newborn which was nerve wracking. We had called in advance and requested our rooms be ready early, and that our rooms be near my parents room since they were traveling with us. I have made similar requests at other Bonvoy properties before and have almost always been severely disappointed. That was not the case here. Our rooms were ready when we arrived at noon, and we even received an upgrade due to our Bonvoy status. The front desk manager was so professional and kind! I was blown away when we arrived in our room and they had left the sweetest gifts for our son since it was his first trip. Touches like this are what make the Ritz Carlton brand legendary.

MY 600TH REVIEW!!!!…read more I wanted to save #600 for someone special and Desert Star is the best! I was looking for a quality, reasonably priced hotel for a quick trip to Palm Springs and Yelp sent me the right way on this one for sure! These are just some of the things we loved: -calm atmosphere without being stuffy -bikes to use while you are there -bungalows with all the cooking facilities to make you feel at home -postcards pre-stamped in the room so we could write our friends -super stylish digs -nicely maintained pool area with fire pit -our own private patio with fire pit and BBQ -really, really sweet hosts who made us feel totally at home I just can't say enough good things about out experience. I have stayed at some super expensive 5 star hotels all over the world and nothing compared to this. This is hands down my favorite place I have ever stayed.

Very unfavorable and unexpected experience at The Monkey Tree in Palm Soring…read more Parking location was uncomfortable. Everything was dimly lit. General hotel layout was nice, felt vintage and was a refreshing twist. Room layout was interesting, tv was placed in front of the couch so you can't watch tv in bed. When first entering our room: 1. The two ceilings lights either flickered or did not turn on at all. The room was pitch black until we PLUGGED IN the closet lamp. 2. The bathtub was not clean, there were hairs. Bathtub was paint was chipped and the faucet was leaking as well. 3. The kitchen utensils were not clean. Forks, glasses and even the roll of paper towels were found dirty or used. The extra rolls under the sink were unwrapped. When coming to our room a few hours after check in, calling customer service (calling three times) took more than an hour, just for us to be told that the lighting and cleanliness issues will be solved in the morning. Was really looking forward to the experience but upon our first few hours, we felt unwelcome, uncomfortable and turned off of our whole stay. Especially when faced with the lack of cleanliness in the restroom, if our bathtub could be so apparently dirty, what else could they have missed? We were forced to spend the first few hours fixing up our room before starting to feel comfortable. This meant scrubbing the bathtub, washing every dish and checking every surface. With the lengthy and detailed check in process, we were really expecting a quality, travel worthy experience. Instead, it felt we were greeted with an unclean, uncomfortable welcome. As guests, it was made obvious to us that customer service was not at the forefront of our experience. Having decentralized customer service (through phone numbers and apps) made us feel so unattached from the actual experience.

I've done both the high life rooftop poolside bar as well as the bar at 4Saints restaurant. Both great but different vibe. This visit, we went for the rooftop pool bar. More of a lowkey mellow atmosphere. With the pool right in front. They also have a very nice layout of seating with tables that lookout to the mountains. Pretty much anywhere you sit, the view is great. Drink menu is alway good with loads of specialty cocktails and a nice wine list. Food can also be served if you're hungry. The vibe is nice and chill and great for an afternoon or during sunset. It can get hot as it's outdoor and in the open. More chill but can get loud as the pool is literally feet's away. Still A cool place to hang and have a drink. I alway recommend the place to people who's looking for a nice spot for a drink. Then you have the hotel, it's very clean and modern. Lobby is very beautiful with check in as well as the seating area. There's also a bar located downstairs which they offer the social hour. One of the hotels that's worth checking out in Palm Springs.

It got started with a reservation made on COSTCO.COM, with a package deal to include a car. We didn't just get a car, we got an AUDI QUATTRO w/ 400 miles on it. CAN YOU BELIEVE??? On the morning we were to drive to PALM SPRINGS, and my partner was on his way to get the car, I called Guest Services. I inquired about our room, and got upgraded to an upper floor, corner suite with a king size bed. It included a couch and a desk, AND TWO TVS!!! We also had a small fridge stocked, but had the food and drinks removed for our stuff!!! THEY OBLIGED!!! On the 2nd Day, I called the front desk, asking about PRIME AND NETFLIX. Immediately, they sent up a technician to show us how to use the TV AND GOOGLE, and how to interact with our phones. In short, WE WERE ABLE TO WATCH OUR FAVORITE MOVIES in the morning and at night. WITH THE COSTCO PACKAGE, we got free valet and free WIFI!!! Every night from 4 PM TO 5 PM, there was a wine and beer night!!! It was often the time when we were returning from touring, to relax, shower, change and get ready for dinner. We actually had time on our FIRST NIGHT to go swimming in the pool on the roof. What a treat!!! Every night, we ate at different place for dinner. On the first two nights, we took advantage of the hotel's shuttle, a big, white Suburban!!! VERY CLASSY!!! We ate dinners at Johnny Costa's, Bar Cecil (NOT TO BE MISSED!!!), and on the last night, Smokin Burgers. We ate out for breakfast one morning, and then we went to KING'S HIGHWAY. It had a 1950's VIBE. We went out every day for activities and touring, EVERY DAY WE RETURNED TO A CLEANED ROOM. We never actually saw them, but the bed was made, trash was removed. ETC. Speaking of ACTIVITIES, we tried on the first day ??( do a SCAVENGER HUNT FROM VIATOR for $49 for 2. TOTAL BUST. DAY 2 was Self Guided Driving Tour of Palm Springs and Palm Springs Aerial Tram. Day 3 was Self Guided Driving Driving Tour of the Windmills and Self Guided Driving Tour of Joshua Tree. We did drop in Aqua Caliente CASINO, and thanks to Vanna White, I made $90.00!!! WHICH WENT TO PAY FOR BAR CECIL.

Can't wait to go back there when the temp outside is not so brutal.

This place is a true gem, maybe a hidden gem due to the negative reviews as of lately…read more My husband and I booked this place for a quick weekend getaway. I was a little scared when I read that most of the recent reviews were negative. I was thinking "oh no! What did I get us into." This place is a blast from the past. The decor is that of a mid century modern and is a really cozy quadrangle set up. The interior feels homey and the property is set up like an air bnb with shared amenities. They play 1950s music all day on speakers throughout the complex, it creates that vintage feel but can get repetitive after a few days. Lounge with tables, board games, travel brochures, couches, fire place, coffee and tea, and industrial kitchen for use during your stay. (Old reviews mention happy hour, breakfast, snacks, etc. these are no longer offered but why not just bring your own?) Each room has microwave and mini fridge. Outdoor gas fire pit for use. The pool is small but has a deep end 8ft which is nice. There are pool noodles and some tubes to use. The hot tub is spacious and powerful jets. We stayed in the Hawaiian surf room, loved the theme it was so cute and felt like a tropical getaway. The shower is small but functional. Good AC unit with a remote control and ceiling fan. Surfboard coffee table and wicker love seat add to the tropical feel. Overall this was a nice private getaway. You can be left alone to relax! If you need anything you can text the hotel and someone replies super quick in my experience. The hotel feels very secure with codes needed to enter the complex and security cameras at the entrance and surrounding the complex. (Probably for management to check and make sure everything is running smoothly). I would stay here again in a heartbeat and I have stayed at a few different boutique hotels in the area. This would be a top choice! Please realize this is an older complex and it does show some wear and tear but come on the building is probably 100 years old or somewhere close to that. If you are expecting a sterile, high end, resort feel for your stay this is not your place... but otherwise this is a great choice! I couldn't help but feel bad for the owners with all of the really bad reviews on here because that was truly not my experience. I left off one star because there are definitely areas of improvement that could be made but not enough to ruin my experience.
