This place was perfect for our family of four. Very family friendly. Great little game room with activities for kids. The pool was clean and really nice. The room was clean, updated and very comfortable and spacious. Loved having the kitchenette and laundry services in the room. We also had a private balcony and large walk-in closet. Truly a great place. Only 15mins from downtown area. Would love to stay here again when we’re back.

Overall it was good for families. Staff was nice and responsive. We loved the pool and it was perfect for little kids. Tons of fun there. The size of room was good and appreciated the full kitchen and washer dryer. Ample parking as well. Some cons: The sofa bed was in rough shape, but king size bed in bedroom was nice. Rooms (bathrooms in particular) and hallways were dated, but were still in good shape. Outdoor carpet on balcony could use replacing. Not sure the $20 USD resort fee per day was really worth it - especially since a lot of free activities were cancelled while there, or were really limited. Then other activities cost more. So we really just got pool towels and the games rooms as part of the fee? There is no real restaurant and the little pool bar/order window seemed to always be closing early. So you definitely need to plan for groceries (Target and Trader Joe’s nearby drive) or meals out elsewhere. Area outside of the resort not so nice, but if you stay on property or drive out to Palm Springs you’re fine. Overall we had nice time and would say for the cost (with the exception of the daily resort fee) it was worth it.

We had an issue with bedbugs, notified & showed it to the staff, they sprayed our room about 3 hrs later. I felt it could have been dealt with in a more timely manner & the staff seemed casual about it…”this happens in the desert, we get alot of various bugs”. We asked for some compensation but were told they’d talk to the manager, we tried to talk to the manager but were told more than once they weren’t available.

Response from Ryan on 25 Apr 2024
Thank you for your review. We sincerely apologize for the unacceptable experience you had with bedbugs in your room. A three-hour delay in addressing this issue is completely inappropriate, and the dismissive attitude from the staff is inexcusable. We understand your frustration about the lack of compensation and the unavailable manager. We are committed to providing a clean, safe, and relaxing environment for all our guests. We have failed to meet that commitment in this instance, and we will take the necessary steps to ensure it doesn't happen again. Please accept our sincerest apologies and reach out to us directly so we can discuss further.

We enjoyed the property and will return, the only thing was the bbq was filthy and nothing to clean it with, no tools, also the flooring in kitchen was lifting up in several spots and was a hazard with bare feet, some dirty utensils in kitchen and floors need a good wash, our feet were black from walking on floor

This property is very dated. I THOUGHT I knew what I’m getting with Hyatt, and up until this point would always choose Hyatt if it is an option but this is not on the level of a Hyatt by any means. It’s nearly impossible to reach someone at the front desk over the phone.

We were very disappointed by the Hyatt’s response to needing to shorten our stay due to my father’s imminent death and needing to return home. The airline and car rental company were awesome arranging flights home and only paying for the days of the rental. The resort was not willing to accommodate at all and charged us the full amount….during our couple day stay our villa was never cleaned, it was dated, and the planes constantly fly over the property.
