Hyatt Vacation Club at Desert Oasis

10/10 Excellent

"We love having a full kitchen to do our own food - saves money and eat better. The large balcony is great for the early am and evenings! Like having a separate bedroom, table for meals and all of the space. This has become our go-to spot when we come to Palm Springs!"

Hilton Vacation Club Palm Canyon Palm Springs

10/10 Excellent

"The property is absolutely stunning. The 2 bedroom villa we stayed in was impeccable. The room design was beautiful and spacious. The pool is the greatest highlight we spent a large chunk of our stay playing on the water slide. The larger deeper pool is so big even when there are lots of people in it, it still feels spacious. Having the smaller pool and waterside for the kids was so perfect my kids loved it. The jacuzzi under a waterfall was magic. We had a great time playing basketball in the gym. The stay was friendly and informative they gave us recommendation of local restaurants and activities. It was an enchanted vacation for our family. 10/10"

Holiday Inn Express Palm-Desert by IHG

8/10 Good

"A nice, clean property though some things need a bit of maintenance-the elevator was slow, the sliding door in our room needed some tlc, and the drapes were stained. The complimentary breakfast was one of the best we had on our trip and the bed was very comfortable. We would stay there again."
