Guest Reviews

• Medina (9/5): -
• David (10/5): - Great Breakfast, nice vibe, friendly staff. n/a
• Steve (10/5): They really do maintain the property very well. Excellent staff and even breakfast included and lunch on weekends. Great - Great location. Amazing staff. Very well kept property. Friendly guests.
• David (7/5): -
• Matthew (10/5): -
• Vikram Singh (8/5): -
• Daniel (8/5): Amazing time at a beautiful and friendly resort. - Location was great and the rooms were a good size. The grounds were beautiful and staff was friendly. The breakfast was good, but just took a while. But with friendly staff and guests, we were enjoying just sitting by the pool and relaxing. The bathrooms were a little small and plumbing was an issue for almost a day in one of the buildings, but it was fixed and the rest of the stay was nice. Besides that, everything else was great and we have no other complaints.
• Anibal (10/5): Relaxing, private and welcoming place to stay. - Staff members were present at all times and available for questions. Rooms were clean and comfortable.
• Bobby (10/5): 10 year anniversary - Love staying here we were here for a 10 year anniversary. Stay got plenty of rest and relaxation. The staff is always very friendly and accommodating.GREAT BEDS!!
• Guillaume (10/5): - Wonderful peaceful retreat with beautiful gardens. Need to be open minded and not bothered by sex references.
• Francis (10/5): Exceptional - amazing people. highly recomend
• Kory (10/5): Room was great, big room, breakfast and lunch was great!, very gay friendly and open, staff wonderfu - The breakfast and lunch was incredible! Made everyone staying there feel like family! Delicious! I plan on coming back! It was great!
• William (10/5): - I love the beautiful landscaping, and in this cool weather it is great to have the pool temperature set at 92 degrees fahrenheit. The breakfast is terrific; they actually cook some items for you. Most guests take advantage of being naked at the pool, which is fun. My room was spacious and nicely appointed; I even got a free upgrade!
• Dan (10/5): - Stayed there many times,it just gets better
• Stephen (10/5): - I had a wonderful time staying at Vista Gardens. The staff was helpful and extremely friendly. A really fun bar is nearby and it is a reasonable walk to all of the bars and restaurants in the downtown Palm Springs area as well, including Arenas district. My room was spacious, comfortable, light filled, and very clean
• Wendell (10/5): Exceptional -
• Glenn (10/5): - Nice staff very helpful and nice .?
• Jordan (10/5): Amazing, would love to come back! - Beautiful facility, super friendly staff, amenities (breakfast, lunch options, complimentary gym membership).
• Matthew (10/5): - This was my second stay at this hotel and the experience was as good as the first. Stayed in room 13 which was recently remodeled and clean. Grounds were well-maintained. The freshly-prepared hot breakfasts from a menu were a nice touch. A discrepancy on the checkout bill was corrected immediately. I would stay here again.
• Kenneth (10/5): - I disliked the eggs breakfast as taste terrible as old cheeses or eggs too sensitive for me to eat them but I would never eat them again.
• Kenneth (10/5): So friendly staffs, always happy to see me and ask - Retreat from my grief vacation for two nights
• Edgar (7/5): Good - Nice vibe among the guests. Really nice swimming pools. Lovely jacuzzi. The place needs urgent renovations, staff should be aware of the mantinience, they shouldn't be charging you extra for almost everything.
• Dan (10/5): - Our favorite place to stay in Palm Springs
• Joel (10/5): Exceptional -
• Stephen (10/5): Exceptional -
• Jose (10/5): Exceptional -
• Thomas (4/5): Disappointed - The resort fee was excessive
• Bryan (9/5): Superb -
• David (5/5): Passable -
• Michael (10/5): Exceptional -
• Donald (5/5): Passable - The breakfast offerings were varied and enough choice. Lunch offerings were tasty. No dinner options, and a $30 cab ride each way to restaurants of any quality. The pool (smoking area) was kept clean and the grounds maintained. Though the location of the room in the resort was good, the condition of the room compared to others is dated and in need of updating...tired and not very clean feeling. Upon booking, the Covid guidelines gave a sense that people were required to acknowledge vaccinations...there was no such procedure. Caught Covid while there.
• Gerard (9/5): Superb -
• Dan (7/5): Good -
• Andrew (10/5): Great pools, great staff - I haven't stayed at many places in Palm Springs, so I'm not sure if this is common, but I thought the layout was so unique. There were different pools and hot tubs to stumble upon and it was the type of place where you could be social with other guests.
• Hieu (10/5): Exceptional -
• Alberto (9/5): exceeded expectations. -
• David (9/5): Superb - gardens don’t like new swimming pools
• Giacomo (10/5): - The perfect place to be who you are and want to be. The staff here are warm and quick to serve making our stay exactly how we wanted it and more.
• Andreas (10/5): - Sehr gepflegte Anlage sehr aufmerksame Mitarbeiter die versuchen alles zu ermöglichen
• Michael A (10/5): - The staff is insanely nice and always happy to help with a genuine smile. It was a perfect home away from home experience
• RALPH (10/5): - So much fun! Beautiful grounds
• Raymond (10/5): Nice - We’ll appointed rooms. Fine and friendly service
• Bobby (10/5): You should stay here - This was one of the most pleasant experiences I have experienced in the desert. Very clean facility and the service was wonderful. I will be back
• Verified traveler (10/5): - I had a blast , the atmosphere was perfect
• David (8/5): Relaxed, lush, quiet. - Lovely grounds and lush landscaping. The property is sufficiently spread about that one can always find a quiet, shady spot to read or nap. Guests certainly seemed to socialize, but nothing about the "scene" felt pushy or in-your-face. My room definitely could have used an update, but that almost added to the charm.
• Verified traveler (8/5): - The grounds landscaping and foliage was fantastic. The hot tub and lagoon area was my favorite part of the facility. I wasn't fond of the bathroom. No counter space at all. I had no place to put any of my toiletries.
• Frederick (10/5): Consistently the best in Palm Springs - The management at Vista Grande are exceptional. I usually have a late check in due to travel down from San Francisco and there is always someone to greet me and get me settled in one of my favorite rooms. The breakfast and lunch included every day is such a nice amenity, especially when working remotely.
• Nicholas (10/5): - The staff was so friendly and even showed us around the property.
• Dan (10/5): - We have stayed there before,we have also stayed at several other gay resorts and like this one the best,its just the rite mix of fun and relaxation,even during the COVID mess,we still had a great time
• ROGER (10/5): - Amazing visit. Great staff.
• sandy (10/5): - Absolutely loved the place, the staff was super friendly. I can't wait to stay there again.
• Brian (10/5): Great for pool side reading - Facility and room was clean and spacious. Would love to see upgrades to the in-room television as the audio quality was low to the cable TV connection. Area was perfect to just relax by any of the pools. Staff was courteous and were always available.
• Michael (6/5): hot water - The water in the shower was scalding hot and I warned the staff about this.
• Verified traveler (10/5): - Staff was friendly and very helpful. I will definitely stay there again when in PS.
• Verified traveler (10/5): - Great stay and friendly helpful staff
• Strangerabroard (10/5): - A great experience, staff and environment were fabulous. Food on the weekend lead to some good conversations. The weather was so good for laying by the pool and reading. I was housed in one of the more "modest" rooms and guys it really is time to spend some money on the room. Air conditioning worked well but lights didnt and the prominent steel kitchenette looked like something straight out of "The Adventures of Ozzie and Harriet"
• Francisco (10/5): Great gay hotel!!!!! - I stay at vista grande before and always is Been the great experience!!!! Everybody on the staff are incredible friendly. I always feel at home!!!
• Mark (8/5): Midweek getaway - Well maintained old Palm Springs Gay resort. This place is a classic and near enough to downtown to walk for dinner walk we weren’t so lazy. Checked in and checked out from the hectic craziness of the world.
• Verified traveler (10/5): Vista Grande - Great place to relax. It was peaceful yet fun. The staff were super friendly and helpful. They also laid on a breakfast and very tasty lunch each day that I hadn’t been expecting. Left there very relaxed, tanned and happy.
• Verified traveler (10/5): - I enjoyed my stay immensely felt very welcome beautiful clean environment to spend a lovely weekend. I would definitely go back again and I would recommend it to all my friends
• Ronald (10/5): - The staff was exceedingly accommodating. Everybody was friendly and very personable. They went far above and beyond.
• Thomas (8/5): Quiet retreat - I was only in Palm Springs overnight for business purposes. But I decided it would be fun to stay at one of these clothing optional gay resorts. Being mid week, it was pretty quiet. But it was relaxing.
• Nicky (10/5): Relaxation and service - I have been going through a very stressful year. Needing to relax friends invited me to go with them. We all enjoyed the Viste Grande Resort. I left feeling refreshed and most important more relaxed.
• Sterling (6/5): Friendly Staff, rooms need a little help - The stay at Vista Grande was relaxing and enjoyable. The staff went above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable. The 2 different pool areas, 1 with music and smoking allowed and 1 that was quiet and smoke-free, allowed us to lounge poolside based on our mood. The weekend brunch was very plentiful with fresh fruit, cereals, oatmeal, waffles, eggs, omelets, bacon, coffee, juices and mimosas. The room was very dated and needed to be renovated. 2 of the 3 windows did not open. Door stops were falling off, the shower curtain had large mold spots. Sheets and towels were not high quality.
• Allan (10/5): Gay Paradise - If you wanted to experience a gay resort but were afraid to for whatever reason, this is the resort for you. They're very welcoming. You don't have to worry about body image. They have different flavors of meat there. They offer free meals during your stay. The resort could use some updating on the decor, however. Overall, a great experience for any gay guy. They could lower the price, too.
• James (10/5): A great birthday experience! - A milestone birthday called for a milestone event and I found that at Vista Grande resort. I knew I would be there during some very hot days, literally, but had projects to work on. I read reviews of the various resorts and settled on VG because the grounds looked inviting and the email I sent with a question was promptly replied to. Another resort did not reply, then tried to tell me they did not receive the e mail.... On arrival I was taken to my very comfortable room then given a very relaxed and informative tour. Over the next few days I met some very nice people, got a lot of work done, spent mornings and evenings in the pool and hot tub-in other words Vista Grande was more than I had hoped for and they very friendly staff have assured that I will be a repeat guest!
• Jim (10/5): Vista Grande Palm Springs - Great Place To Stay - If you are looking for a resort where you can just check in, relax, and not have to leave, this is it. Breakfast and lunch meals are included every day as well as a cooked dinner on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday evenings. The staff were very friendly and helpful.
• Verified traveler (8/5): We felt comfortable and tended too - The gardens need a little more love But overall a very pleasant stay
• Dennis (10/5): - Great Resort. Long live the Mirage & Bob!
• Ron (10/5): A truly wonderful stay! - I had a wonderful stay, the staff made feel at home from the moment I stepped in. I was able to relax, make new friends and get plenty of Sun! The dinning area was always stocked with fruit coffee and or a cool beverage. I plan on and can't wait to return for another visit. And did I mention the Staff!
• andrew (10/5): well worth a visit - This was our first time in Palm Springs and we were unsure what to expect. After a 10 hour flight and 2 hour drive the welcome was so good. We were walked round the resort and felt so confortable straight away. The staff were always on hand to help and the added bonus of 3 meals a day over the weekend made it difficult to find a reason to go out. You even get a menu dropped to your room so you can see what's on offer. We loved the freshly made omlettes and waffles with staff reminding you that dinner is served with some unique dinner bells. The bars are in walking distance (yes 15 minutes but thats not far! you can grab a taxi or drive if you prefer). We enjoyed the 3 pools, hot tub and steam room. We met many guests who had returned many times and I can see why. There are other places with newer rooms but I cant imagine they would have such a warm feeling. We will be returning and if you are looking for a place like this then I would try here!
• Esteban (6/5): Vista Grande - I enjoy their friendly hotel staff and was surprised by their amazing breakfast in the morning. However, the hotel is under construction and most of the facilities were closed due to cleaning as well, so there was not the usual amenities I expected and came for. I feel like I missed out because of that but I am willing to come back when they are finished with construction.
• edward (10/5): The Best Gay Resort in Palm Springs! - We have visited other resorts in Palm Springs and Vista Grande is far more friendly and accommodating than the others! The staff is Great and the clientele fun to interact with! The resort is close to town. The grounds are well kept and lush! Your choice of pools, hot tub, and Sweet sauna!
• Robert (8/5): - First Class service, as always
• Ron (10/5): Skeptic turned Fan! - Traveled to PS last minute and was going to stay at the Ace or another hotel but was told about Vista Grande. I was a little skeptical at first but the facilities were fantastic, the staff was friendly, and the overall vibe was much more comfortable than I thought it might be. Looking forward to returning.
• David (8/5): Best time ever!!! - We had the best time ever this trip. The hotel has new owners. The customer service was the best I've experienced since I've been going there. It makes the world of difference when hotel staff genuinely enjoys their job and acknowledges their patrons. We had only planned on going for two days and we extended our trip 2 additional days because we were having so much fun. We are already planning our next trip there. A special thanks to our host Tom.
• Tim (8/5): Much better than its rating suggests. - The greatest asset of this resort is the staff that goes out of its way to make its guests comfortable. Over a two week stay, they were able to respond to every request and question. I booked a return trip.
• Verified traveler (8/5): qucik weekend. - great staff.
• Verified traveler (4/5): Needs Serious Renovation - Resort requires serious renovation. Very run down rooms. Service is really good and no complaints on the staff or level of service which is great but really this place is not worth the price. It is just toooo old and no renovations have been done . I stayed here three nights but I would never stay here again. Location is good
