Marriott's Desert Springs Villas I

What guests think

At Marriott's Desert Springs Villas II, travellers highlight spacious, comfortable villas amid well-kept, golf-course grounds with many pools and family activities, while noting drawbacks like limited onsite dining, car-or-shuttle logistics, recurring parking fees, and occasional slow or late check-in.

Rooms and grounds are frequently described as clean and well maintained, though multiple reviews cite murky or over-chlorinated pools and occasional housekeeping lapses. Many guests find staff friendly and responsive, but experiences with the front desk, shuttle reliability, and daily housekeeping policies are inconsistent. The setting is peaceful with easy drives to shopping and the JW Marriott, but it is not very walkable. Expect a spacious, resort-style stay with lots of pools and a relaxed pace.

It was a lovely property, but we got stranded at the main hotel our last night there after having dinner. We were told a shuttle would come for us in a few minutes but it never arrived. We waited for an hour, then had to walk in the dark to a pick up spot where Security got us. The property needs to invest in more shuttles and drivers with more frequent pick up times.

Our 1 bed villa was clean, comfortable, and had everything we needed. We were in Jasmine Court, and would prefer that over the other areas except for lack of an EV charging stations. Right now, if you are in Jasmine Court and want to charge an EV, you need to take your vehicle to one of the other villa areas and take a shuttle back and forth.

We had an absolutely beautiful villa.However, the pool that was nearest us was absolutely filthy. There was black grime on the pool tiles, and several pool tiles were missing and just stacked around the pool deck. The water was extremely cloudy and had lots of leaves and long hair in it. I called the front desk and asked them to clean it twice.But nobody ever came.

Our duvet had blood and the sheets were stained. Of course it was not until the second day that we found it out. Pretty gross to have laid in the bed with someone else’s blood. The jacuzzi particularly has a green tint. This was our second time staying here and the pools are not clean.

The cleanliness of the pools is very poor. All their pools had muggy water during our stay. Yes, we visited all the pools hoping to find at least one that looked decent. The villa was clean and spacious. So, we spent a lot of time inside the villa and ended up purchasing some tours. Not we expected since our children wanted to enjoy the pool but not even they wanted to get in them.

My recent stay at this Marriott property was unfortunately my first negative experience after about a half a dozen positive stays at other Marriott locations. Several issues arose, starting with check-in. We weren't informed of the $25 daily parking fee, nor were we given WiFi instructions. Worse, our room's bathtub and vanity area had a bunch of small drainage worms around it. While the staff attempted to address the problem, the worms repeatedly returned throughout our four-day stay, despite assurances that the area had been cleaned. The overall cleanliness of the room was also subpar, with hair in the shower and on the bathroom floor, and fingerprints on the kitchen cupboards, refrigerator, and windows. The daily "tidy up" service, which we only received once, was minimal, consisting of little more than a quick made bed. Lotion and coffee refills were also neglected. On the positive side, the staff was friendly and tried to resolve the worm issue to the best of their ability. The outdoor grounds were well-maintained and attractive. The hotel's proximity to the JW Marriott was a plus, as we spent most of our time there, enjoying its pool area. The small market and gift shop near the lobby, complete with a Starbucks, were also convenient.

I was in Palm Desert to run a half marathon. This may be a good place for golfers or family but I was disappointed at the cleanliness and the room for the price. It was way too expensive for the quality. I would not come here again. I was charged to park each day! Outrageous. The price for the hotel was exorbitant for the quality.

Overall, our experience was positive, from check-in to check-out. The receptionist was exceptionally helpful in selecting a suitable room for us and provided transparent information about the noise levels in different areas of the property. The pools were delightful, especially for the children. The room was clean and well-equipped. However, the mattresses could use an update as they were old and overly soft, resulting in an unrestful sleep and a strained neck. Also, the walls are quite thin, allowing noise from the upstairs neighbors to be easily heard. If these issues aren't dealbreakers for you, then this property would be a fantastic choice for your stay.

My husband and I liked staying here. We had some pros and cons. Pros: very spacious room overlooking golf course, quiet and nice, comfy beds and showers, had a wonderful place you could pick up a Starbucks or snack, 7 pools were nice, people that worked there were super friendly and helpful from the management to the room attendant, so great job on that, price was reasonable and no extra resort fees, room was cleaned for us one day which was great too! Cons: outside furniture covered with dirt and wasn’t wiped down, our room lacked a few basics like soap and conditioner, shuttle service had benches to sit on but not under a shade so it was sweltering, pool food and drinks were outrageously expensive, drinks at one pool were $8 cheaper than another one which makes no sense. Feel like it was a rip off for what we got, bingo is played poolside so all you hear is them announcing “A22, B12, C5”,no music so if you weren’t playing bingo it was irritating. One pool was covered in dust and dirt, even walking from pool to your chair was very very dusty and dirty, and gate allowed us through without checking our pass at all so didn’t feel particularly safe with that. Overall we would come back again and try it out! Some of the cons could have been completely coincidental for this trip. This place is a lovely resort.
