Great stay! Wonderful property and staff. Comfortable rooms and nicely appointed amenities. Only concern was noise from the 2nd floor. I heard every step my upstairs neighbor took during my stay. Next time, and there will be a next time, I’ll request a 2nd floor room.

Excellent stay, beautiful and relaxing resort

The Santiago is one of the best places where my husband and I have had to pleasure of staying. From the beautiful cactus gardens and many palm trees to the tasteful pool area furnishings, the overall impression is of quiet, relaxing luxury. The rooms are also furnished with a very comfortable bed, very nice bath amenities, and tasteful art photography. The free breakfast and lunch are a standout feature which enabled us to stay on-property and feel more like we had “moved in” for the duration of our stay. The service from the staff is unfailingly friendly and accommodating. All that is missing is a bar to serve wine or cocktails to enjoy poolside. We would have also liked to have been able to view newscasts (CNN, etc.), which are not available on the television system in the rooms. We recommend the Santiago without reservation and recommend it highly. We will come back here on our next trip to Palm Springs!

We had the best time at this property! We came to Palm Springs for coachella and this resort was the perfect way to relax before, during, and after all the fun! It’s close to downtown and tons of restaurants. Most of the bars are also conveniently located near by! We will def be back next year!
