"Amazing place to stay, home away home feel. Comfortable relaxing has everything you need. Kitchen, pool gym, and family friendly very private. I loved the comforts Hyatt Desert Oasis provided i will be back. Its my new home away from home. Great Great experience."

Marriott's Shadow Ridge II- The Enclaves

10/10 Excellent

"We enjoyed our stay at Marriott’s Shadow Ridge overall and had several wonderful experiences with the staff and service. From the moment we arrived, the service at check-in was wonderful. The staff was welcoming, friendly, and made us feel comfortable right away. We also had excellent service at the Snake Bites Pool Bar. The bar staff was extremely friendly, attentive, and provided great service, which made our time by the pool even more enjoyable. I also absolutely loved the text message communication service offered by the resort. It was so convenient to be able to communicate directly with the hotel by text whenever we had a question or needed assistance. Responses were helpful and made everything much easier throughout our stay. Unfortunately, we did experience an issue involving the pool that was disappointing and affected part of our family experience. However, I truly appreciated that management listened to our concerns and made an effort to accommodate us. Danielle, the Front Desk Supervisor, was especially understanding and helpful and extended a 12:00 PM late checkout for our full two-bedroom villa. Despite the unfortunate pool situation, there were many things we really enjoyed about our stay. The friendly staff, great service, beautiful resort, and convenient communication really stood out. Thank you to Danielle and the entire Marriott’s Shadow Ridge team for making the effort to ensure we still left with a positive experience."

Best Western Plus Coachella Valley Inn & Suites

10/10 Excellent

"The staff was very kind to help me with immediately needs I had. Looking forward to staying with you guys again this week! Thank you!"

Hampton Inn & Suites Cathedral City

10/10 Excellent

"My stay at this hotel was extremely pleasant. The staff was truly helpful, the breakfast was excellent, the hotel was well located, and the pool was clean and warm. Due to circumstances beyond my control, I had to stay two different weeks/weekends this August 2026, and found that my change of plans turned out to be a blessing in disguise. Thank you Hampton Inn in Cathedral City, CA. Lynn Wright"

1BR Villa at The Westin Mission Hills Resort Villas – Full Kitchen + Golf Resort

8/10 Good

"The suite was part of the Westin Resort Villas and not the Westin hotel -- just in case you get confused! Check-in was easy through the lobby. The suite is on the second floor and included a comfy doublebed with a sofa queen bed. The sofa bed was very surprisingly comfortable! But I had to ask Jorge where to get the sheets and pillows for the sofa bed as there are none in the closets. Pro-tip, you'll need to contact front desk for the sheets and pullows. The same for wifi or anything else you may need. The kids liked the large pool, which isn't deep but there were ducks in the kiddie pool! We got there too late for the kids to use the pool slide but I'm sure it'd be great for kids. The location was nice -- close to grocery stores, gas stations and Palm Springs."

Thousand Palms Escape Family Friendly, Arcade, Pool Fun Games

10/10 Excellent

"We had such a great weekend staying at this house! The host was responsive and accommodating. The house was beautifully clean and had everything we needed to enjoy a nice weekend away. The pool was fabulous and the check-in/check out process was easy! We hope we helped by doing some extra laundry to help for the next guest! Thank you and would totally stay here again in the future!"

Fun For Everyone! Family Friendly Pool Home!

10/10 Excellent

"Great spot to stay for a big group! Adequate beds and comfortable. Backyard is great and host is amazing to work with."
