To experience the quintessential charm of gay Palm Springs, I highly recommend Desert Paradise Resort. It's location in the Warm Sands neighborhood is wonderful. The most popular restaurants, bars, clubs and entertainment are only a few blocks or a few minutes away. The Warm Sands neighborhood is a mix of private homes with other gay/men only resorts, creating some very... more

The customer service is exceptional at this resort. You can tell that Dale (Owner) and Ron (Manager) pride themselves on ensuring the guests are happy. The grounds are beautiful, lush plants, clean salt water pool, huge hot tub (they keep it too HOT - every guest during our stay said that it was hot enough to make stew!). The pool... more

I always liked staying at this hotel, back in August and September 2007 I stayed in the Presidential Suite. Other stays were in standard rooms. Having a busy schedule and a parent who is ill I change travel dates often, which is the guests right, no matter where I travel. I planned a getaway May 26 - 28, 2008, the... more

We just returned from another relaxing weekend at Desert Paradise, and each time we are there, we are reminded of why we keep going back. For about 10 years now, we find this to be our favorite place to stay on Warm Sands. The grounds are immaculately maintained, with lush plantings, and inviting areas to relax. The owner has done... more

We stayed at the resort for over a week and enjoyed every minute. The grounds are emaculate and provided lots of areas for relaxing and tanning. Most of the lounge chairs have comfortable pads and all are covered with towels. The pool is keep at a pleasant temperature and the jacuzzi is terrific, all open 24 hours. The night time... more

Of all the places I looked at within Warm Sands, Desert Paradise seemed to get decent reviews - and deservedly so. If you are going for abit of fun round the pool, this is not the place for you. It is a calm, beautiful, relaxed retreat. I had read not so favourable reviews for the more cruisy places - i..e... more

Nicely furnished, small, personable gay resort hotel with pool, hottub, steamroom, sauna, breakfast room. Clothing optional makes for total relaxation. The superb hosts, Ron and Dale, were wonderful. Ron was a personal concierge to all guests and made everyone feel special and "at home" by giving lots of personal attention. I highly recommend the Desert Paradise for your next relaxing... more

I found Desert Paradise (DP) to be a pleasant stay. The rooms were a bit pricey, but tastefully done. The landscaping was amazing to say the least. It was vibrant with life all around (which I tend to enjoy). Nothing quite like falling asleep to any one of a number of waterfalls just outside my room. I didn't like the... more

I stayed at Desert Paradise in November 07. I was a bit of a squeaky wheel before I even arrived. After booking this property I researched and found another property close by with slightly mixed reviews that offered a free 7th night. I had been contemplating cancelling my reservation; however, I decided to stay at Desert Paradise because of the... more
