    Wonderful Winter Visit

    OUr family of four recently completed a great winter visit in January to a 2 BR 2BA villa in Desert Villas !. Our villa was clean and well equipped. As we had a toddler we used the playground which is a bit small for the size of the property. Other than that we walked over to JW Marriott to eat a couple of times. No doubt our visit was enhanced because we were assisted by a wonderful woman at checkin from Guest Servicdes named Brooke. Brooke was the best person I have encountered in this situation and went above and beyond to make our stay there simply fabulous. I hope she is recognized by Marriott for her competence and kindness.

    Great stay!

    My husband and I took our two kids, both in their early-20's, as a late Christmas gift. We had a very good time. However, the resort is quite sleepy. There is no night life at all for the younger guests. We had a 2 bedroom booked, which was a full condo and a separate suite for them. We had everything we could possibly need for our comfortable night stay, however, there is zero housekeeping. We were given enough whatever we needed by sending a simple text. This was our third visit to this property and we won't hesitate to return.

    An absolute dream in the desert

    We had the most amazing stay at Desert Springs I. From the moment we checked in we were treated with the best hospitality. All of our requests were honored and the staff went above and beyond during every interaction. The property grounds are meticulously cared for and were an absolute pleasure to walk. Our villa was in building L. The only thing that I wished for was that the 2nd bedroom was accessible from the main villa but other than that our stay was perfect. There is plenty of nearby shopping and the location was central to a lot of our excursions. The renew stretch and yoga classes at The Shade were really excellent! We can’t wait to go back to Palm Desert and Desert Spring Villas. Thank you for the memories ✨

    Fabulous

    Loved this property!! Felt very safe with the gated security and the patrols. We walked over to the JW Marriott along the path. Took about 5 minutes. It is well lit and even in the dark was not a problem. I also really liked that there was laundry detergent and dishwasher tabs in the unit. Our suite was ground level and had a beautiful view of the golf course.

    Choice property with good location

    We stayed in a downstairs one bedroom villa overlooking the golf course facing the JW Marriott resort. Spacious unit with two patios, all the amenities we needed, comfortable, clean, elegant decor and quiet location. We rode bikes through the property and over to the big resort to look around and took the shuttle at night for dinner over there. A few minor maintenance issues but didn't spoil our stay. Would stay again.
