Top South Palm Desert Hotel Reviews

The Dunes Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Easy check in process. Staff was friendly. Rooms felt secure inside a security gate hallway. Plenty of parking. Restaurants in adjacent parking lot."

Hilton Vacation Club Palm Canyon Palm Springs

8/10 Good

"Good location for Palm Springs. Had a good stay. Great pool area that is big, attractive and has a good atmosphere. Slide for the kids. Carlos makes great cocktails and is very friendly at the pool bar. The buildings and communal areas/corridors are a bit dated. Room (studio) was spacious and average decor for a Hilton. Bathroom dated and a bit tatty. Could do with some more amenities for resort fee (currently pool, parking, basketball court). Minimal dining on site - only a pool bar that shut at 7pm. Overall 7/10."

Omni Rancho Las Palmas Resort & Spa

10/10 Excellent

"Beautiful hotel. I felt as if I was on a vacation some other than Indio. Ranch combines with Spanish style decor. Rooms were big, beds were comfy and my sister and I loved the two vanities in the restroom. Close to restaurants and stores. I definitely would come back."

Renaissance Palm Springs Hotel

8/10 Good

"Had a great time and the staff was amazing. Some things were closed maybe due to weather or off season but still had a great time. Most part everything was clean though our room had a very old and noisy ac unit that kept us up all night long and the ice room smelled like a broken sewer. Everything else was very nice - didn’t run out good time."
