JW Marriott Desert Springs Resort & Spa

Wonderful experience overall. Staff went out of their way to make sure we had everything we needed. Took a pickleball lesson followed by a massage. Both experiences were more than expected.

I would highly recommend all the tennis camps at the Marriott Desert Springs facility. 1. Jim Leupold and his staff provide excellent instruction on basic and advanced technique, positioning and strategy. Play is mixed in with the drills so you can practice what you learned. 2. The tennis facilities and the hotel are fantastic. 3. The chance to play tennis on grass, clay and hard court at the same location is really fun and not available at most tennis facilities. 4. The weather in Palm Desert is great for tennis most of the year. 5. I have been attending the camps for 5+ years and have always had a great experience.

Went to Palm Desert with some friends for a tennis trip. Hotel was perfect and the tennis instruction was next level! Thank you!

Great venue for meeting. Room was awesome. The front desk Luna was very helpful. Special kudos to Stacey Sims who was a fantastic tennis pro with helpful tips that made a difference in my game. Professional, and friendly. I will try to find him again.

Beautiful property and setting but Hotel is tired and not well cared for. Thick dirt and dust on the edges of the Atrium surrounding the lobby -Restaurants on property ( with exception of bar and Sushi) are far from the main lobby and figuring out how to get a reservation can be a problem -Shower drain flooded the first morning we were there, had to be fixed by Hotel team -Valet is 45$ per night....ridiculous ! Self park available for 25$ but the lot is quite a hike from the Hotel -Our room wasnt cleaned on our last day there, no explanation. -Hotel checkin was understaffed. -Marriot Bonvoy app offered no was to contact Marriott customer service regarding our stay?

The tennis center at Desert Springs is outstanding. Today I had a private lesson with Stacy. He understood my goals and gave great instruction and tips.

Gorgeous resort. It is huge with two different sides centered by pool areas. Limited food options by pool. Conference food was good. Rooms nicely appointed and comfortable. Would stay again.

4 floor is good, might have been a little close to the noise in the lobby. but overall it was good. we have to check next time, and make sure there is no tournaments for the kids at the time we arrive.

We unexpectedly booked a trip to Palm Springs and the hotel was on my bucket list. I love flamingos, saw the boats and decided I wanted a hotel that was a staycation. Every single staff member gave 110% of who they were. The kindness, can do attitude and the desire to make our stay a memorable one were out of this world. However Baba, was by far the one who left the biggest footprint on our heart. What started out as a simple hello quickly became a friendship which I have no doubt will span continents. Stay who you are, stay you. The hotel in itself did not disappoint- it is in fact the destination it promises to be. It offers mini golf, golf, swimming pools, an aviary, complimentary bike rides, activities for the whole family,movie nights and live music to name but a few things. Thank you for creating memories of a lifetime.

I wasn't sure what to expect having been to many resorts before. Some are OK/ cookie cutter and others are "wow". This place rocks. From the amazing entrance (with plenty of grass for our four-legged family members) to excellent restaurants to this crazy little boat ride around the property, this is a well-thought-out resort. And the gym? Oh, the gym is to die for. Diving in, Veronica Bush was all smiles at the Front Desk when we arrived. She was warm and friendly which, after all of the driving, was very welcome. She even moved things around and the Mrs. and me were put up in a nice suite. The view from the balcony was over the pool area to the golf course beyond. Talk about peaceful. Thank you, Veronica! But it wasn't just Veronica. The woman in charge of fish feeding (couldn't see her name tag and did not want to stare at her upper body as that is rude) knew how to make this simple experience fun. Families in particular got a kick out of it. The miniature golf course is wicked fun and challenging. The golf attendants took pity on me and gave me an extra golf ball as mine landed in the drink. We were here at Christmas and the hotel NAILED IT with their choice of Mr. and Mrs. Claus. Yes, the two of them were available for photos (at a fee) but beyond photos, Mr. and Mrs. Clause hosted story time and played instruments. They also comforted me when I asked them to take a photo with my dog as this is likely my dog's last Christmas. You cannot pay for talent like this. These folks just care. The included activities - bike riding, pickle ball, driving range - may not be for everyone and may make you feel like you cannot leave the resort. Pick and choose. The boat ride is well worth the $ spent but only at Christmas time I feel. Any other time and you might think you are in a short time-share presentation. I would also skip the Christmas brunch. The food was good but not exceptional. And go to the gym. Seriously. The equipment? The yoga room. Go to the gym. The Parting Glass: Please stop by and say, "Hi" to Veronica for us. She is a gem.
