- The 65-foot saltwater pool is open 24 hours (a rarity in Palm Springs)
- Steve Hermann's design feels like a movie set—Spanish Colonial meets Moroccan glam
Hitri pregled: A stunningly designed sanctuary that charges you for every breath you take, including a rare 'per person' resort fee.
Pregledano od @imsoeunique: I needed a desert escape and this spot delivered. The gardens felt like a secret oasis and waking up to that mountain view was unreal. If you want a romantic vibe that feels like Old Hollywood, this is it. My new favorite staycation spot.

💡The 'resort fee' is one of the few in the industry charged *per person*, which can double your fee cost.
💡The 'mountain views' from some ground floor rooms are actually just views of a hedge or a wall.
💡The restaurant service can be notoriously slow, even when not full.
💡There are no elevators in the two-story buildings—you will be carrying your bags up stairs.
💡The pool area is 'splash-free'—strictly for lounging, not for playing.
