"Megan, the receptionist was very helpful and a true professional. We will definitely continue staying at the desert willow for years to come. Jorge M"

Tahquitz Pines Retreat

10/10 Excellent

"We loved our stay at Tahquitz Pine Resort! The staff were friendly and welcoming, and our cabin was clean, cozy, and comfortable. The mattress was probably the most comfortable one I’ve ever slept on! We also loved that the resort is dog-friendly. Our dog really enjoyed staying with us, which means a lot to our family. We were lucky enough to see Mayor Max riding around the property on the mayor mobile one day. He was so adorable! My only suggestion would be to improve the coffee setup in the cabin or perhaps have a coffee stand on the property. The town is only a few minutes away, so getting coffee was easy, but it would have been wonderful to have a good cup of coffee first thing in the morning without having to leave the cabin. The Peak restaurant was wonderful as well. We enjoyed it so much that we ended up having dinner there two nights in a row! Overall, we really enjoyed our stay and can’t wait to come back next time!"

Homewood Suites by Hilton Cathedral City Palm Springs

10/10 Excellent

"I’ve stayed here before. The rooms are spacious and clean, the breakfast is very good and the property is very nice and quiet. The pool is lovely and large although a few more pool loungers would have been nice as there is only two and one of them is broken (a wheel kept falling off). Also on our stay pool towels were in short supply so we leaned to hang onto our towels and just reuse them rather than risk not having any to use."

The Saguaro Palm Springs

8/10 Good

"Our first room was not good but the second was so nice with a great view."

The Westin Rancho Mirage Golf Resort & Spa
