We had a weekend getaway to celebrate my hubby’s birthday and our wedding anniversary. Though the weather was very warm but we truly enjoyed our stay. It’s very quiet and walkable to some stores. It was a very comfy place to rest and relax. The staff that checked us in was very detailed on every thing that we can have or what we can do during our stay.

One of the roomiest places I've ever stayed, a huge living room, good sized bedroom, and a full kitchen. I was on vacation, so I dined out for every meal, but with the kitchen and barbecue, I could have dined in. The excercise room, pool and spa were also really nice.

Older timeshare complex but the room/suite was upgraded BEAUTIFULLY! Love having 2 bathrooms, great layout, lots of space, big kitchen. Super friendly front desk people! Slight oversight on a couple cleaning things, hair in master shower and one dirty dish but overall excellent so I did not reduce cleanliness score. Pool area is average so if you're looking for a glamorous resort this is not it; I have been working/staying in the area all summer at similar resorts and this tops them all in this price range. Will definitely return!

Disliked: Cleanliness
Pros: Close to grocery store and some restaurants. Nice pool. Laundry on site. Large suites. Was able to check in early, which was nice. Cons: Kitchen floor not swept or washed when we checked in. (had to do that myself). Could hear guests in adjoining suite (regular speaking voice level, and, unfortunately, would hear their loud s3x). Could hear street noise from East Palm Canyon.

Re: My Service Dog discrimination

It started as soon as i said i have a Service Dog. Two older women working front desk were horrible! Discrimination big time regarding my Service Dog. I was told multiple times to bring them a copy of certificate before checking in. Telling me he cannot stay in the room by himself (which i already know). Told me he has to leave his vest on. After i came back i was asked 3 times for his certification for being a Service Dog. This is all against the law on their part! As i walked away the women who checked me in kept bringing it up. I will be reporting this to corporate office. My dog and i travel alot and this is the first time this happened. So damn unprofessional! I will be sure to tell everyone with a service Dog how i was treated at Desert Isle. Those two women should be fired!
