A friend and I stayed at Bella Monte in late September, which we enjoyed very much. Desert Hot Springs is a quiet, sleepy town that boasts of natural cold and hot mineral spring water. (If you want excitement, stay in nearby Palm Springs.) The Bella Monte staff is very friendly and helpful, especially Doug (ask for him when you call),... more

FACTS: -The resort is new construction, everything is brand new. -The staff is very friendly and helpful. -It's situated in a neighborhood, so like the other reviews said, the location is not in a downtown area where you can walk around. -The entire resort is gated, unlike other resorts in the same area. We never felt scared or threatened -The... more

I'm sorry to sound like a prima donna, but please, this place is in the middle of nowhere. I actually felt at jeopardy getting out of the cab due to the fact that it looked like gang bangers were just waiting for us like prey. The photos on the website are totally doctored and there is nowhere to eat that... more

Such a nice hidden hotel and the staff was so friendly and helpful. Our room had a nice view of the valley from our patio with a hot tub just steps away. Very nice room, clean and comfortable. We are definitely staying there on our next trip to Desert Hot Springs. more

Small and beautifull place. We've found this place via TripAdvisor, we've stayed thare (sadly) only one night, mid-week but we've been lucky enought to be only one guest - so we had whole pool, hot spring jacuzzie only for us. Rooms - we've slept in few places around the world, but never ever had sleep is so comfortable bed. Full... more

The Bella Monte would be tied for first place as my favorite (small property) hotel. Great service, great atmosphere and great rooms made this a great stay. Not to mention the... more

We really enjoyed staying here and highly recommend it. The bed is big and comfy, and the bathroom has a nice sized tub for 2 with hot springs mineral water. The swimming pool and hot tubs are mineral water as well, but it is really nice to be able to enjoy it privately. The water made my skin and hair... more

Getting away from the city--no more noise, finally being able to hear your own self think without the den of the metropolis. Learning how to appreciate the environment and becoming one with it. Everything just melts together. The rooms were comfortable, quiet, peaceful. A peacefulness that you find when you go into the mountains or woods and didn't know you... more

I recently stayed at Bella Monte with my fiance and a co-worker. We all had an absolutely wonderful time and really didn't want to leave. Deb and Michael were amazing and always there whenever we needed anything. My fiance and I also had the most incredible massages and felt like gold after. Much thanks to Esther and David!! We spent... more
