This place is a little pricey but well worth it! We stayed there with some friends 2 days. The best part was at night when we all got to sit on chairs outside our room that the inn provides and chatted and drank wine. We had a little candle on the table and enjoyed the evening, the great dinner we... more

I stayed at the Villa Royale in July for about a week; first, for several days with a friend. Then after my friend left I moved to a larger room. I was in the desert on business. I already had reservations at another hotel for the rest of the week but I liked the Villa so much that I cancelled... more

We've probably stayed here 20 times over the past decades, and barring some disaster, will probably stay here at least 20 more times. We're up to two visits a year. Makes it hard to compare with other Palm Springs/Palm Desert resorts since we haven't stayed elsewhere in years. It's not for everyone--if you like the predictability of a large resort,... more

We stayed here for memorial day weekend and the hotel was pretty good. Even though they said they were full there seemed to be plenty of room around the pool, etc. Breakfast was OK ... not as gourmet as they claim on their website. And the on-site restaurant was definitely not as good as portrayed, wouldn't recommend it at all.... more

My husband and I stayed here for 3 nights at the beginning of February. Even better than we expected. The staff was friendly and very, very accommodating. When you step into the brick courtyard, it feels like Italy. We stayed in #3, which was a small suite with a private entrance and near the jacuzzi. They are renovating a lot... more

We stayed 3 days at the Villa Royale during October 2005. It is without question the most beautiful place we have ever visited. It is only a small hotel and for the first day we seemed to have the place to ourselves. The rooms are just fantastic. All individually styled but each fantastic. We couldn't stop looking through the windows... more

As a prelude to our weeks vacation we stayed one night at the Villa Royale before checking in to the Desert Springs Marriott. We knew nothing about the hotel but booked it for one night because it was in our discount book. What a BEAUTIFUL, CHARMING and RELAXING place. This was 2 years ago and I have not stopped recommending... more

My wife and I stayed here for four nights, Monday through Friday, in the middle of the summer. The inn, built in the 1940s, consists of a series of interconnected courtyards, pools, and fountains filled with palm trees and potted plants. We would spend the mornings traveling around the area, to the Joshua Tree National Park and to the San... more

My husband and I stayed at the Villa Royale Inn for five nights and we found the hospitality and setting consistently top notch. We were able to experience all the R & R we so badly needed in what felt like a European villa with excellent service, very congenial staff and outstanding breakfasts. In addition, the Europa Restaurant (on premises)... more
