Pros: unique city, lots of golf and swimming Cons: on the warm side...but it's a dry heat!
Just this past April, we arranged to have a family reunion at the Marriott Desert Springs Villas and Resort in the Palm Springs/Palm Desert area. The accommodations were beautiful! We had Luxury adjoining rooms with suites. We had a complete ...
Pros: A great place to stay Cons: Could be a bit expensive unless you're with a group.
Review Topic: Accommodations
Recently I had the opportunity to visit Palm Springs, California which I found to be breathtakingly beautiful. This was the first time I had the opportunity to travel to Palm Springs and was I in for...
Pros: An excellent place to retire and play golf. Cons: Hot and I'm not ready to retire and play golf.
It’s that time of year again. Time to pack up our bags and head west, soak up some sun, soak up some sun, and (yawn) soak up some more sun. Oh, where do we soak up all this sun? Palm Desert, of course. Palm Desert, California. One of the hardest...
Pros: Lots to see and do, hot air ballooning a MUST, great shopping, lots of sun, world-class golf Cons: EXPENSIVE!
For those faithful members of my WOT, you already know that I led a past life as a meeting planner. My glamorous (albeit underpaid) job brought me all over the globe and allowed me to experience some of the greatest hotels and resorts ever built. ...
Pros: Excellent Decor and inside piano bar Cons: Poor service, inconsistent food, lousy presentation
It’s Tuesday night in Palm Desert and we are leaving for home the following morning. My husband has a touch of the stomach flu, it is now 8 pm and we haven’t eaten. What to do? Well, of course, leave him at home with the kids while we head over to...
My hubby decided afew months ago that we needed a holiday. He was stressed with work and really needed a good break away. He wanted to go somewhere that he could relax, play some tennis, swim and soak up the rays. Where did we go?
Pros: Beautiful desert and mountain scenery alongside sprawling lush resorts Cons: Very hot in summer, resorts can be pricey rest of year
Arrival
I have never been to a resort that wasnt on a beach, so to go to a city of resorts without an ocean seemed like a strange idea. But Palm Springs turned out to be a great sunny getaway from the constant rain in Northern California...
Pros: Friendly service and pleasant atmosphere Cons: Mediocre food, especially for the price

My husband and I are in Palm Springs for the week for a meeting. We were driving through downtown looking for a place for dinner when we spotted The Lobster Company and decided we were both in the...
Pros: Relaxing, Beautiful scenery Cons: Stuck in a time warp
We live in LA and needed a break from the rat race, the congestion, the pollution, the phoniness of it all. Palm Springs was the answer, nearby (110 miles East from LA) relaxed and highly touted. Our party consisted of 2 adults, 1 senior and 1 toddler. ...
Pros: Great spot if you love sunny climates; perfect for swimming and golf. Cons: You won't want to get out of the pool in the summer months!
My group of 8 friends and family members decided to spend about 5 nights/6 days somewhere in Southern California in January 2002 as a Christmas gift to ourselves. Since we all love sun, swimming and golf, Palm Springs seemed like the perfect spot -...
I grew up in Palm Springs (and you thought nobody under 65 lived there!). I moved away when I left for college in 1990, but I've visited often since then (my family is still there), and I know the place like the back of my hand. When I was in high...
Pros: Great way for kids to keep cool Cons: Hot, hot, hot concrete
This place is hot fun in the summertime for kids. When we went in early September, 1999, it was very, very hot but that did not matter to my kids who were having such a great time that they wanted to stay until practically closing for two straight days....
Pros: Good customer service, great scenery, and good value for the money. Cons: Not the newest of hotels, but still clean nonetheless.
A good friend of mine was getting married in Palm Springs one weekend, so my wife and I decided to drive to Palm Springs and stay a couple of nights. There was only one more week until the trip, and I still hadn't reserved a hotel room (that's the...
Pros: Full-time staff of unpaid clowns, water misters Cons: Clowns are Bob Hope clones on speed, no attractions, $$$, lack of safety for size, climate..........
Golf fans should skip over this now. The rest of you should just skip over Palm Springs.
There are, presumably, some luxe hotels, but not in any genuine sort of luxe -- it is more like Las Vegas glitzy trash: gaudy sweeping facades, and your...
Pros: Beautiful year-round Cons: Gets SUPER HOT in the summer
Palm Springs is a favorite destination for people looking for a weekend getaway or midweek escape from the office. Bathed in sunshine 354 days of the year, the city offers numerous recreational opportunities and attractions in addition to excellent...
