Situated in Palm Springs, 2.6 km from Palm Springs Convention Center, Dive Palm Springs provides rooms with air conditioning and free WiFi. The property boasts an outdoor pool as well. A continental breakfast is also offered.

We really enjoyed our stay here. The rooms were big enough, very stylish, comfortable and clean. We came here mainly because of the pool which was clean and heated. A big advantage is the fact that the hotel has only 11 rooms so it is never crowded and you can enjoy the outside area without noisy people.

Styled with dark wood furnishings, each room provides free Wi-Fi and free toiletries in the en suite bathroom at La Maison Hotel - Adults Only. Luxury duvets and linens are featured.

The breakfast was excellent, with a good variety of choices, from freshly cut fruit (including just picked from a tree grapefruit) to toast to yogurt. One of the staff always offered to make us cappuccinos or lattes. The property is small, with only 13 guest suites and when you step inside the outer door, you enter a tranquil and enchanting garden sanctuary surrounding a lovely swimming pool. The grounds light up at night and there is plenty of outdoor seating, making a take away dinner an attractive option. The staff are stellar and nothing is too much trouble. The manager, Alfredo offered us fresh fruit and drinks (on the house) when we were relaxing by the pool and even brought to the hotel two folding chairs for us so that we could comfortably attend Opera in the Park. Blanca, the housekeeper, was so helpful and very devoted to her job which she has done for 25 years. Our room, number 2, was spacious and inviting with an awesome shower.

Offering an outdoor pool and hot tub, this Palm Springs, California hotel is within three miles of The Coachella Valley and Palm Springs International Airport. A restaurant and bar is onsite.

Featuring pool, mountain and garden views, each elegant room is styled in off white linens, rich wood furnishings and a mosaic tiles en suite bathroom. A spacious seating area with red accents and an en suite bathroom are provided in rooms at Los Arboles Hotel.

We had such a great time — thankyou to the Los Arboles staff, who were warm and helpful. They gave us a free upgrade to a room with a private patio (where there were hammocks and comfy chairs). Everything was immaculate, quiet and comfortable. This feels like a lovely low key place to unwind. Nothing flashy or pretentious— just exceptionally clean and comfortable. We stayed from Sunday to Tuesday in early October — which seems like a great time to visit if you like the quiet. We had the pool and jacuzzi to ourselves for most of our stay, which was such a pleasure! The location was great— really close to Cheekys which is amazing for breakfast. Nice to also be able to use the hotel bikes and freely drift around Palm Springs!

    Les Cactus is a really beautiful and stylish hotel. Lots of lovely details and design finishes have been considered to make for a really pleasant stay. The outdoor and shared spaces are very photographable! We loved that the hotel was small with limited rooms - making for a really quiet and private stay. The breakfast baskets were a great touch and we enjoyed having them by the pool. We would have loved to have stayed for longer!
