One of the roomiest places I've ever stayed, a huge living room, good sized bedroom, and a full kitchen. I was on vacation, so I dined out for every meal, but with the kitchen and barbecue, I could have dined in. The excercise room, pool and spa were also really nice.

Single story casita/duplexes with nice patios, grassy areas, privacy, immaculate BBQs, beautiful - almost old fashioned - resort setting. Great views. The office staff and maintenance personnel are wonderful. We love this place and have been staying at Desert Isle since 2001.

Lots of room
The condo was a very large 2br/2ba unit with a lovely rooftop deck. There was a spiral staircase so I couldn’t get my luggage upstairs to take advantage of 5he upper floor bedroom with the large deck. Very unusual layout but spacious and good for our purposes. The kitchen was not very well stocked with cooking items. It has just the bare minimum. Had access to the 2 tennis courts and outdoor pool. Within walking distance to restaurants, Walgreens and grocery stores.

We arrive at 4PM and our room was not ready after driving over 6 hours and having a dinner reservation. They had to fix the toilet. After waiting 15 minutes we finally got to our room where he was still fixing it. Then the next day after going downtown we came back to our room. the water was shutoff and we asked how long and after a constant back and forth they said 5 hours. There temporary fix was to shower in the tennis court showers and there next thing they offered was to go into another unit and just shower. They refunded 1 night and we had to leave and drive 1.5 hours to another hotel. NEVER AGAIN WILL WE GO TO PALM SPRINGS. IT WAS ALOT DIFFERENT THEN WHAT IS ADVERTISED! What a horrible anniversery trip.
