As delightful as always! Coming to the Desert Villas is like coming to your little dacha in Palm Springs - so cozy and familiar. Our baby girl couldn't get enough of the heated pool, and we were enjoying ourselves in the peace, charm, and serenity of the beautiful setting. We come often and will make sure to be back soon!
