When is the best time to go to Sterling Cove?

The best time to visit Sterling Cove is from late spring to early autumn, specifically May through October, when the weather is at its most pleasant. During these months, you can expect warm, sunny days with minimal rainfall, ideal for enjoying the cove's beaches and outdoor activities. The ocean temperatures are also warmer, making swimming, paddleboarding, and kayaking more enjoyable. This period aligns well with those looking for a relaxing beach holiday or outdoor adventures. For those interested in whale watching, the migration season typically runs from December to May. While the weather can be cooler and more unpredictable during these months, you have the best chance of spotting grey whales making their journey along the coast. This is a good option for nature enthusiasts willing to brave cooler temperatures for a unique wildlife experience.

Hyatt Vacation Club at Desert Oasis

10/10 Excellent

"Excellent, nice and quiet, very clean grounds. Bingo in the pool was a cute touch and the young woman that was hosting made it fun. It was HOT (116), it was still hot in the pool. Very nice villas. Great amenities if bringing kids."

Hilton Vacation Club Palm Canyon Palm Springs

8/10 Good

"Pool areas were beautiful. The property grounds were well maintained and clean. The suite was pretty nice but deceiving when booking. 2 bedroom suite had only one bathroom which is very inconvenient for more than 2 adults in the suite. When I booked it, that wasn't clear. Other than that, it was a positive experience and I would go back but be a little more questioning when booking."
