Traveled with my wife, 2 year old son, and mother in law. Booked a 2BR unit in Villas I for the AAA discounted rate of $314 per night. This was a peak travel weekend for Palm Springs / Palm Desert, so all of the properties were running what I thought were overpriced rates. It was either pay for two $200... More

We stayed at the Marriott Desert Springs villas from April 27-May 4, 2013 with our 3 children, spouses and 3 granddaughters ages 5 months to 15 months. Each family has 1 child, so far. We are owners and had 2 villas, which worked out perfectly. We stayed in two upper units next door to each other very close to the... More

I spent 5 nights at this property with two other friends for a golf getaway. We stayed in a second floor villa and found the living arrangements to meet our needs because one of us slept on the sofa in the living area. This villa was clean and everything was in good working order. I stayed in the separate bed... More

We have been owners at the Marriott Desert Springs Villas since they opened over 30 years ago. it has been our gateway to discovering other great Marriott Vacation villas in other countries, but we always love "coming back home" to our vacation villa in Palm Desert! Don't let the age of the units scare you away...they are constantly upgraded and... More

This is my 9th or 10th stay at DSV 1 over the past 20 years. I love the area, the climate and the resort. Always get a 1 bedroom villa as close to the tennis centre as possible. This gives you a short walk over to the JW Marriott. Stayed in building E, the suite was recently updated. DSV 1... More

I had loved this property till our last stay...We went for a nice romantic valentine's getatway. As another reviewer RonB noted, the pool can get very noisy and i don't know why they don't have an "adults only" one?? So I went for a siesta on our lovely patio, ground floor-(no ants or roaches and the rooms have always been... More
