Came here with my family for a week vacation and absolutely loved it. The grounds are beautiful, the Villas were clean and very big. We had a two-villa setup on the bottom floor overlooking the golf course. We used the spa one night and the fire pit another night. Both worked like a charm. Security was friendly and helped me with directions. I would recommend this place to anyone looking for a golfing or relaxing getaway.
Nice resort. Beautiful grounds and views. Convenient parking and layout. Good service and activities. Short walk to JW Marriott resort. Nope kitchen facilities in room.
I have stayed here many times and the rooms were starting to look dated. They have remodeled the rooms to have USB ports everywhere and a much more modern look. The pull out beds are now memory foam so my kids sleep better through the night. I enjoyed my stay much more than in in previous trips.
We absolutely loved our villa and the amenities at this property. We had a two bedroom villa, the second bedroom had a private entry from the main area and featured its own full bathroom with shower and bathtub and mini-kitchen area (there was no stove, but it did have a microwave, fridge/freezer, and dining items). The main villa featured a full kitchen, eat in dining room, living room, patio, bathroom and master bedroom. The huge bathtub for the Master was in the actual bedroom, and then there was a shower in the main restroom of the villa. We visited the main pool and the kids park on-site and were very happy with what both had to offer. The kids park is in the other Villas area but was easily accessible. The park has sand as the ground cover, which is not what I would choose but it works if you know to make sure to have your kids wear closed toe shoes.
We've been to most of the Marriott properties in Palm Desert, and the Villas I was certainly the best. Large living room with a huge couch make for great family vacations. The staff are friendly and very accommodating.
Gorgeous resort. The grounds were beautiful and the room was huge I could fit my apartment in that room twice. Only suggestion I would make is to putting a brush barrier under the door because we did get 1 cricket and to update the computers in the lobby I needed to print tickets that the computer just couldn’t process. But the staff was incredibly helpful whenever we needed them, the room was clean, the view was so nice, there was a washer/dryer in the room, food and drinks by the pool were great. Overall great hotel and great experience.
We love the Villa l units the best plus with those units which are larger than Villa ll and Shadow Ridge you get access to the JW Marriott pool also from Monday -Thurs and also to parts of Shadow Ridge Resort. We come here once a year and love it. I recommend if you stay in Villas I just request a unit away from Cook Street (can be noisy) and ask for top floor unit in middle of fairway facing waters edge pool. Perfect and amazing views. Our view right now.
Love the Villa I units!
I went to Marriott's desert springs villas for a little vacation with my family. The first thing I noticed was the beautiful fountains and bright flowers. It feels like we found an oasis in the desert. It was about 103 degrees out there so it truly was an oasis. The rooms were nice and cool and decorated very nicely. They had activities for the kids to do all the day and don't even get me started on all of the pools and the golf course. It was a great little vacation that I would recommend to anyone.
Rooms were great. It was really hot outside but i had a lot of fun in the pools and enjoying all the available services. I was even able to play pingpong, play basketball, and workout.
Really great for people of all ages. The resort is kept up really well. Friendly service. The rooms and space you get are well worth the price. Lots of pool options and activities for kids and adults alike. I thoroughly enjoyed the wine tasting and the yoga classes. The "cookie decorating" was simply pathetic. Chips ahoy and a couple M&Ms?! That could be improved. Also, the beer tasting was kind of a joke. While the person (Linda?) leading the wine tasting was VERY knowledgeable about wine, the beer person knew hardly anything. Apparently there are only two breweries in the area. So maybe scrap that activity and stick to tequila?!
Great layout of villas (rooms). Great layout of resort. (Walkability) Centrally located to many restaurants and shops.
Great place! Beautiful golf course, spectacular view. Extremely comfortable bed, huge bathtubs, and comfortable living room with huge TV as well. Highly recommend it. Excellent gym too!
Expansive 2 bedroom unit with full kitchen. Gas cook top - yea! Nice golf course view. Comfortable bed. Resort activities, including exercise classes, have been very enjoyable. Many pools and Jacuzzis.
