Best value for money!
Large apartment, we got one close to the pool. We could use the hot jacuzzi and the cold (heated) pool for swimming.

Fab Place for Families
Great place to stay as a family if visiting the Palm Springs area. We had a 1 bed apartment that was large, clean, comfortable and the kitchen was well equipped. Great pool just outside our room, and great deli/diner on site. We stsyed when it was extremely hot but A=C worked really well.
