Descanso Resort - A Gay Men's Resort

I just wrapped up my third stay at Descanso! This place has become one of my favorite spots Palm Springs. When I plan a trip this is the first place that comes to mind. The property itself is well maintained,the rooms are very clean and tidy, and the heated pool feels fantastic day and night. The resort has such a chill, welcoming vibe and the staff is fantastic—friendly, respectful, and always ready to help. You’ll see them buzzing around making sure everything is clean, well maintained, and the rooms are ready for the next guests. A big highlight of my stay was Charles and Dustin. They’re amazingly sweet, provide top notch friendly customer service, give excellent attention to detail, and just overall great energy really made things even brighter. Every day I looked forward to seeing them. Finally, the complimentary breakfast is awesome—fresh pastries, fruit, and coffee to start your day right and if you want to partake in lunch you simply place your order with them from a local partnering restaurant. If you’re looking for a peaceful and fun getaway in Palm Springs, I can’t recommend Descanso enough. Thanks again to the whole team for another unforgettable stay!

Originally, my husband and I tried to book a room at their sister property, Santiago (we've stayed there before), but they were booked, so we decided to try out Descanso. We are so happy we did! EXCELLENT resort. The rooms are beautiful and include daily housekeeping (so rare nowadays!), great common area where we met the nicest guys from all over the world. The daily breakfast and lunch were great, and finally, I cannot say enough about the incredible team at Descanso. I love the location. Just a mile up the street from downtown (Palm Springs Canyon Dr), you could walk it if you wanted, or it's a super quick car ride to the best shops and restaurants in Palm Springs. As I mentioned above, we met the best group of guys who were staying there. In just days we were having dinner and exchanging numbers with our fellow guests. No pretentiousness, just friendly men who were all just enjoying the beautiful resort. Lastly, the staff was top-notch. Very friendly and inviting. They made us feel right at home immediately. I can't recommend Descanso enough. There is no doubt we will stay here on my next trip to Palm Springs.

Our first visit to Descanso, and it was fantastic! The property is beautiful, and matches the website pictures exactly. We selected this property over others partly because of the lush landscaping, which provided some shade for us when needed. Plenty of sunny spots, but that's not our thing. The room couldn't be nicer - clean, fresh design, and plenty of space, and great bathroom. Then there is the whole experience - the Descanso team couldn't do enough to make sure we were well looked after our entire visit. Starting when great coffee early in the morning, a wonderful breakfast, lunch brough in for all guests, and a wine hour on some evenings. And all in between, Charles and the entire team constantly looking after the property, and always checking in on how we were doing, and if we needed anything. A simply outstanding visit, we've found our new home-away-from-home in Palm Springs!

Spacious clean and modern rooms. Friendly, incredible and accommodating staff. Great location. I literally can’t find anything negative to say. And that’s rare for me. 100% chance chances that if I return to Palm Springs that I would book this hotel again. Don’t hesitate.

We have been fortunate to visit Palm Springs many times over the years, but this was our first stay at Descanso. Our next trip to PSP we will definitely be staying here. The location was great as we love to walk. Everything we wanted/needed (restaurants, shopping, and the gym) was within 20 mins. The rooms are spacious, well-equipped and comfortable. Charles creates such a welcoming atmosphere and ensured our stay was relaxing and satisfying. It was almost like he could sense what we needed before we did - amazing! Thanks to Charles and all of the staff for providing such a memorable stay - we can't wait to return!
