We've been to Palm Desert and the surrounding areas four times and 21 Palms is by far the best place we've stayed. Rick & Julie were excellent and very responsive hosts. The accommodations were near perfect. Comfy kings beds in all rooms, everything we needed in the kitchen and lots of outdoor and indoor stuff (pool, hot tub, putting green, pool table, and more!) to keep everyone entertained.The location is ideal. It's an easy stroll to El Paseo for shopping and restaurants and also walkable, or a short-drive, to the Palm Desert Civic Centre (weekend market, fantastic park), plenty of good hiking trails and the Living Desert Zoo. Sunnylands and multiple golf course are close by as well.Everyone in our group, ages 11 - 51, thoroughly enjoyed 21 Palms. Tough to leave. Highly recommended.
