My first visit to the resort is for a weekend event. Every square inch is enjoyed by the guests. The resort is well maintained and clean, with a huge illuminated pool that brighten the courtyard in the evening. Thanks for the owner for providing the arena for the event.

Playroom, pretty clean, clientele is definitely older (seemed like the median age was 50's or better, typical Palm Springs), some men were like vultures cornering their prey, $10 guest pass, only open til 5pm, Wednesday $5 guest pass, dogs welcome.

We stayed here a couple of times. The rooms are very clean, and well furnished. Each room has a personal touch. Pool and hot tub are great and kept in very good condition. Staff are very friendly. Make us feel like the only guests here. We'll be back!
