    The pool and spas are perfect. Small, intimate resort and every room is just a few steps from the pools. New owners were still in the process of upgrades and improvements to the rooms and grounds, but not disruptive, and changes for the better are already noticeable. This was our 5th visit in 6 years and we're already looking forward to next year!

    I can’t think of anything I dislike per se. I appreciate the fact that it is clean and comfortable, without ornate decor. Those looking for that upscale experience have plenty of options in Palm Springs just down the road (but mostly without any hot springs.)

    This is a small resort, a dozen rooms, but the facilities are outstanding. It is not hyper fancy or brand new but everything is immaculate and there are three amazing Hot Springs pools, one indoor and two outdoor that are quite wonderful in their creative properties. The new owner is Quite devoted to her customer’s comfort and satisfaction. She is in a process of upgrades and improvements, but the beds are excellent, every room has a full kitchen. It has a big screen TV with DVD options as well and there are both chairs and loungers in front of each room. The setting is Desert Hot Springs, in the foothills north of Palm Springs about 20 minutes. DHS itself is not a deluxe destination. But it is famous for their Hot Springs welling up out of the hills behind them. There are modest restaurants with good food in the neighborhood, including Indian, Mexican and Japanese cuisines and Palm Springs has every imaginable level and type of restaurant.The main thing we go for is to have a chance to visit let the Midwesterners get out of the freezing cold and to enjoy the very healing waters of the Lido palms.

    Some confusion over our reservation with booking dot com. We prepaid our room but keep getting “balance due” emails. Resolved it at the check in. Saw a roach in the kitchen when we checked in but nothing more after that.

    Manager, Arthur, was very kind and he fixed our broken toilet right away. The property was clean and well maintained.

    I think for two days there was no staff there at all, which wouldn’t have happened in the past. No one was skimming the pools or checking the temperature. It was still fine but maybe just a bit neglected.

    I’ve been coming there for years. It’s not fancy but it’s comfortable, the mineral water is fabulous, it’s quiet ( no children, clientele is older) and the people who run it are nice and helpful. I like having a kitchen.

    WE liked the swimming pool and jacuzzi with the sauna room. We used it daily and enjoyed that. Towels were fluffy and clean. Water was crisp clean and good temperatures.

    I wish there were blackout curtains. Despited the blinds and curtains, the sun still made my room bright at 6:30am.

    The room was spacious and clean. The kitchen has a nice table and is fully equipped. I love the pools!

    There's really not much to say here. Everything was great!

    My friends and I stayed here for one night (August 11) so we could enjoy a leisurely stay before driving over to Joshua Tree to see the meteor shower. The room was amazing - 2 queen beds, a couch, 2 lounging chairs, and a separate kitchen with 3 chairs! The bathroom was nice, beds were comfortable, and the kitchen had pots and pans, salt/pepper, and dish soap so we could cook dinner and enjoy a night in. We went out for a dip in the swimming pool and hot tubs, which were amazing. They're open 24/7 so you can dip your feet and watch the stars, or watch the sunrise. Such an amazing and enjoyable experience!
