    Great amenities but cruel bird aviary

    The hotel has beautiful amenities. The pools are great, golf courses are nice. Food and drinks are good but expensive. The one thing that seemed a little odd was the aviary with exotic birds. They are kept in a small room off the beaten path. Not sure why Marriott keeps them locked up in an odd spot.

    Depressing Aviary. Set the birds free!!

    Depressing “Aviary”. Ruined my trip. Beautiful exotic birds locked away in cages. They need to be set free and not on display. JW Marriott should do the right thing ethically and morally and arrange for them to be transferred to a sanctuary. I will never stay at another Marriott knowing this situation exists.

    JW Marriott with cheap renovations and dated design

    The Resort was built in the mid ‘80s and some of the original design has never been updated. Popcorn wall and ceiling texture, door knobs from the 80s, narrow hallways and furniture in the room that isn’t functional. I’ve stayed at Courtyard and Hampton Inn properties with nicer rooms. This is NOT a $1000/Night property. Grounds are beautiful but they didn’t even do the bare minimum when they last updated the rooms.

    Great tennis program!

    Tennis, tennis, tennis. Can’t get enough of the great program at the JW Marriott in Palm Desert. Had so much fun with classes instruction and private lessons from Roger. He’s the best! Couple this with multiple days at the Indian Wells tennis tournament and it was a glorious weekend. Thank you, Roger, thank you, Jim. Thank you Pat and thank you to the JW Marriott!

    Service Excellence! What a refreshing experience🌞

    My husband and I first visited this property last year when we came to Palm Desert for the Indian Wells Tennis Tournament. My quick slice was “this place is too large … there is no way it’s going to provide the experience we expect when we are on vacation”. We were pleasantly surprised 😊so much so, that we returned today for another week stay while we visit the area and attend the tennis tournament. Wow, the staff that greeted us and accommodated my very particular needs when it comes to a room, excelled and exceeded any expectations we had. Kara , the Front Desk Manager, Israel and Daseli who work behind the front desk and checked us in went above and beyond to make sure we were happy with our room. Not an attitude at all. That is so rare these days that I felt the need to acknowledge them in this post. The property is magnificent and the rooms beautifully decorated however, even with that, if the staff doesn’t perform in a way that makes you feel welcomed and appreciated, you can have a sub par experience. Marriott of every member of your staff operated like these folks, you would have only 5 star reviews. We had two gentlemen, Jack and Randy, help us with our bags. They too, delivered. If I was sent in as an undercover for Marriott Corp, some folks would be getting a raise. I would imagine all of this might be a reflection of the Hotel Manager. It can’t be an accident. The grounds are so well maintained and not a speck of dirt anywhere. I’ll stop gushing. Just feel confident that this is an excellent choice if you visit Palm Desert/ Palm Springs.
