Hvorfor folk elsker det
- Intimate 10-room layout feels like a private estate
- Heated saltwater pool is open 24 hours (a rarity in Palm Springs)
- Free homemade breakfast served in the open-air lounge
Hurtig oversigt: A stunningly photogenic renovation that feels more like a wealthy friend's guest house than a full-service hotel.
Anmeldt af @deedeemoniquetravels: I couldn't believe this was California and not Greece. The moment I walked through that gate, the desert heat turned into this chill, Mediterranean vibe. The pool cabanas are the perfect spot to do absolutely nothing all day. Honestly, the most relaxing weekend I've had in years.

Reality check
The 'semi-private' patios aren't very private since everything faces the central pool courtyard.
- You are on a babymoon or romantic getaway
- You hate massive resorts and prefer self-service vibes
- You want to swim at midnight

- Linens & towels: High thread count, plush towels, and robes provided.

“I'd love to request Room 6 (Surya) for the private jacuzzi if available. If not, Room 1 or Room 5 (Blanca) would be great for a bit more privacy from the main pool deck.”

5 ting du bør vide før du tager af sted
💡The 'resort fee' covers things that are usually free (parking, wifi), making the room rate effectively $44 higher.
💡Ants can be an issue in ground-floor rooms during summer (common in the desert, but annoying).
💡The 'bar' is more of a poolside service window; don't expect a full mixology lounge experience.
💡There is no front desk staff overnight; if you lock yourself out, you have to call an emergency number.
💡The 'mountain views' are stunning but can be blocked by hedges depending on your specific room angle.
