Location and ambience are great. The overall vibe is nice. The king room assigned to us was compact though and the for sale goodies occupied the entire table top. Also the mattress wasn’t very comfortable. Overall the room was clean but patio was not. The hot tub wasn’t clean either which was shocking. Staff is very polite and welcoming!

The pool is clean and cool that let me forget the heat of the desert area. The restaurant they have gave me a wonderful dining experience as well. The free bottle of sparkling wine they gave me as the VIP access benefit was great as well! If you are looking for a place to enjoy your day in the property, you should check this place out, and you will not regret!

We celebrated our 20 wedding anniversary here and the staff went above and beyond to make it extra special. All of the staff were extremely accommodating and friendly...front desk, bellman, and all the waitresses at the pool. They greeted us with complimentary sparkling rose and gave us late check out. The best experience in such a beautiful place!
Delicious drinks!

Amazing stay!

One of the most amazing stays I have ever had! The service was impeccable and the designer touches really elevated my stay. The room was beautiful and the spacious patio and bathroom were relaxing. The pool area had a great vibe with attentive servers and cold water and sunscreen. The am coffee at the pool is wonderful.

My experience at the Sands was hands down the best experience I’ve had in Palm Springs. I stayed during the week so my experience was peaceful and the environment was calm and exactly what I wanted for a little getaway. The room was beautiful, looked and felt very very clean, and I felt very safe staying here. Lastly but certainly not least, the amazing staff were so kind, friendly, and made me feel right at home in every space. Truly a perfect experience!
