Araby

10/10 Excellent

We love this place. Didn't want to leave. Love that it actually feels like a resort (unlike other hotels that say they're resorts) without having to pay resort fees like other hotels charge. Will definitely book this location every time we are in Palm Springs. Room was perfect size, full kitchen with everything we would need, living room, nice size bedroom AND super nice balcony that was real close to the main pool. Extremely satisfied. Will recommend this place to friends and family as well.

Vista Mirage Resort

Baristo

10/10 Excellent

We enjoyed our stay at Vista Mirage. The property is conveniently located near downtown and the 2 bedroom condo, with full kitchen and living room served us well. The property is a bit outdated and a few upgrades overall would be nice. The gym is not very enticing, but the pools and jacuzzi are great and our condo was located right next to the big pool and we also had grills right out the door. Overall I recommend this place and would pick it again. The staff is very friendly and helpful, no...

I read the reviews of others that have stayed at Agua Caliente and I thought maybe they were exaggerating a bit. Not at all! The place was nice, and clean. The staff was amazing, friendly and helpful. Our room was perfect! Everything was clean and modern. The Hotel staff and Casino staff were a perfect 10/10. PS. If you go to the Water Cafe get the grilled cheese sandwich. It’s a life changer.
