The unit we stayed in was quiet, clean, comfortable and perfectly located for walking to restaurants and shops. The room and facilities were very well-maintained by the management, Palm Desert Vacation Properties. Pools were easy to access and jacuzzis were readily available. Room amenities were excellent, with good wi-fi, a large TV and a lovely welcome package. We highly recommend this property to anyone looking to stay in Palm Desert.

Room was super clean and well appointed. The pool is absolutely wonderful. I believe it is a salt system so no chlorine. The pool is huge and is 12 feet deep in one section. Great location walkable to El Paseo. Would rent again.
