I was in the area on a job assignment. After my work was complete I booked a massage at the Bella. After all, how could one go to DHS and not. I made an appointment with the desk clerk who was very helpful in selecting the type of service and the right massage therapist. I chose the Combination which includes... More

This small spa-hotel was a great place to stay in Desert Hot Springs. It felt luxurious without losing a very comfortable, casual air. The room we stayed in opened up onto the pool and hot tub, which were filled with the local mineral water. This patio area also provided a beautiful view of Mount San Jacinto as you relaxed in...

We chose the Bella Monte Resort because it is small and adult only. We were not disappointed in our choice: our welcome was personal and friendly; the room had a comfortable south-western motif and was very clean. We especially appreciated the spacious bathroom, and the robes and extra towels that were provided. We met other guests, (one world traveling couple... More

We had discovered this Shangri-La in the desert last February and decided to come back for an extended stay. We were not disappointed. We loved this tranquil place and its casual atmoshere just as much as the first time. The staff went out of their way to make our stay as pleasant as possible and their surprise brunch on Christmas... More

My partner and I stayed here and were pleasently surprised. The staff was helpful and kind, the view from the pool was gorgeous and the room was amazing. While the neighborhood wasn't very posh, the resort more than made up for it. Deb, the general manager went out of her way to make us feel like family. We look forward... More

I got a coupon from Groupon, about $100/night, so decided to try it out. I read the reviews before I made the reservation, though there were some bad reviews, but there were also many good comments about the place. What they say in the bad comments is all so true. I had an absolutely AWFUL experience staying there, the customer... More

The room is small not worth the money. The pool is small and very cold in the evening, and the jacuzzi take to long to be heated and doesn't look clean to me. Practically you can't use neither after sunset. Everthing just look like someone's backyard. Inside a residential area, not much going on around the area. And the office... More

We arrived to the resort expecting a nice place. First we are driving a long time in a neighborhood that is progressively getting worse. Bars on windows, vacant buildings and closed business's. When we arrived we are already put off by the location which is isolated in a run down neighborhood. The place is surrounded by gates and fences. Its... More

Not only did Bella Monte exceed our every expectation but the staff went above and beyond! Both Jackie and Kris were absolutely amazing, and more than willing to do their best to ensure our stay was a great one. We highly recommend getting a massage while you're there and be sure to soak up all the mineral water has to... More
