Top South Palm Desert Hotel Reviews

The Dunes Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"The hotel was reasonably priced for the quality of the amenities and the overall experience. The property was very nice, and the staff were consistently professional, friendly, and helpful. Overall, it was a very enjoyable stay and offered excellent value for the price. I would definitely stay here again if I’m ever traveling through the Palm Springs area!"

Palm Mountain Resort and Spa

10/10 Excellent

"Excellent location makes walking to all the shops and restaurants quick and easy. Rooms are spacious, clean, with comfy beds. Loved the option of complimentary bicycles although we ran out of time to use them - next time for sure. Their airport shuttle was so convenient. Highly recommend staying here!"

Omni Rancho Las Palmas Resort & Spa

10/10 Excellent

"We love it here! Please water the grass near the rooms and walkways to the parking a little less because it’s always muddy and it’s a minor inconvenience to have to keep walking around to get to our cars. That’s literally our only complaint. Super kid friendly and we love how close it is to everything. That water slide is amazing too."
