We felt so welcome and relaxed at the hotel. Loved the gardens and the rooms centered on the warm,heated outdoor pool. Loved the hot tub tucked away behind bushes providing its own pocket of privacy. Our room was huge with 2 closets and a separate kitchen, wish we could have stayed more than the 2 nights we did. Will definitely stay here again if we are back in Palm Springs.
