My girlfriend and I just recently went to The Saguaro Hotel and have never been treated with such great customer service as ever before. From the greating and drinks at el jefe, to our wonderfully colourful room the hotel empressed again and again!! Big pool, great views, and a mall accross the street.

This place is fun! Aside from the refreshingly vibrant decor, the staff are incredibly friendly, genuine and very accommodating. We stayed while attending the Coachella music festival, and this resort is definetly where all the 'cool kids' stay, with the resort hosting live DJ's and pool parties during the day. The rooms are well appointed with soft comfortable bedding and... More

This isn't a 5 star hotel, and the prices aren't 5 star prices. Instead, what you get is very fun, beautifully designed hotel with views of the surrroundng mountains. The pool is nice, but note that on the weekends, it's very much a pool party scene with loud music and lots of people. Don't expect to read a book! The... More

Clean rooms, great service, nice pool area and fun place. And good food options at the pool. I didn't try the yoga, spa or workout room. The only negative is that their pool bar doesn't have a blender so they can't make any frozen drinks. They need to fix that.

Stayed one night as part of a tour group. Excellent pool area puts you in instant holiday mode. The bar down stairs is great and has great priced margaritas and the BEST tacos. We loved the bright colour theme and also great that there is grocer across the road.

I was at a expensive event at the Phoenician and wanted someplace comfortable and reasonable. As usual, I looked for a Joie de Vivre hotel, and found this lovely place. Its theme is -- cute desert? Bright orange and pinks arrayed around a sustainable grounds theme in a quirky old hotel. I had a lovely room facing one of the... More

Stayed at the Saguaro Palm in April 2013. We had a problem with our reservation booked through AMEX. Susan at the front desk went out of her way to research the reservation with AMEX and get everything straightened out. For a moment there it didn't look like we had a room for our stay and the hotel was fully booked.... More

Stayed here for just one night a few weeks ago (in prep for the Coachella Music Festival in Indio). It was perfect. I'd never been to PSP before and everything about the Saguaro was comfortable and stylish... quintessential Palm Springs. I couldn't imagine a better experience for the money. The pool was chill, the building was attractive, the service was... More

Its a fine hotel for the price. Nice design, great pool, and it "dog friendly", but in name only. Yes, your dog can stay in your room, but there is nowhere else for them to hang out, except on hot asphalt in the parking lot. The hotel has plenty of grass in the interior, but no dogs are allowed there... More

Official Description (provided by the hotel):
To know Palm Springs is to love it. Whether you come for the sun, the spas or the style, there's an undeniable lure to this oasis of desert modernity in the Coachella Valley. Now, there's a new place to lay your head while soaking it all up. The Saguaro opened in February 2012, bringing with it a new sense of design, food and comfort. If you ever needed another reason to escape, you have one now. Guests enjoy our resort style amenities including our pool, fine dining, fitness, yoga and spa services. Guestrooms & Suites: Bright. Light. Colorful. The rooms at the Saguaro immerse you in the desert resort experience that is Palm Springs. Choose your view - mountain, garden courtyard with pool, or city lights. Nearly every room has a balcony or patio and is accented inside and out by the brilliant color of a native Mojave wildflower, creating a visual spectrum of light throughout the grounds. No one perspective is the same. Guestroom Amenities• Hotel and rooms renovated February 2012• Flat screen, 42" HDTVs• Views of surrounding mountains, courtyard and city (select rooms)• Outdoor patios or step out balconies • Large work desks• Stereo with iPod docking station• On-demand movies and music. Services & Amenities: There are certain standards by which a visit to Palm Springs is judged, such as pool time and the scenery that goes with it, the quality of architecture and design, and perhaps most importantly, the ability to enjoy the desert landscape and air, preferably with cocktail in hand. By all accounts, the Saguaro has you more than covered. Hotel Services• Pet-friendly• Secure self parking*• Laundry and dry cleaning service• Wireless Internet Access*• Daily yoga*• Complimentary local transportation**included in daily resort fee of $18.00 USD per night. Meetings & Events: In the 1920s, Hollywood stars began decamping to Palm Springs to relax, party and rejuvenate. You can imagine more than a few screenplays were pitched around the pool. Today Palm Springs is a destination for meetings and events more than ever, seducing planners with 350 days of sunshine a year and abundant golf, shopping and desert curiosities. The Saguaro features several flexible event space options and is ready to host your event, whether it's hosted in our garden courtyard, in a private dining room or around the pool. ... more   less
