Beautiful Grounds, Gracious Hosts, and Relaxing Atmosphere. Last week I returned home from the most enjoyable of vacations. When I first arrived, I was warmly greeted by the sweetest hunk of a man, Ron, and he had the overwhelming need to ensure that his guests are beautifully treated. The next day I met the owner, Dale, and he was sweet... More

Beautiful pool are and gardens. Facilities mediocre. Rooms average but above average compared to other resorts in the area. The staff made the stay absolutely fantastic and couldn't do enough to help us. Really lived the hotel and had we more time would have stayed longer. Would definitely be my first choice if I returned. More

We've stayed at Desert Paradise for many years running. We return because we like the calmness of the lush greenery, the koi fish, the turtles, and even the hummingbirds. The resort is always kept very clean and we appreciate stepping into our room where we feel like its been cared for. Over the years nice upgrades have been added to... More

I stayed at Desert Paradise for three nights. The resort is somewhat small with only 12 guest rooms. I was given a complimentary upgrade upon arrival, which was a nice touch for a first time guest. The room was clean and comfortable. The property is marketed by stating that all bed linens, blankets, etc. are freshly washed for each stay.... More

Stayed here with a friend for 3 nights in August. The place is affordable for Palm Springs but is kinda "old fashioned", a little on the tacky side and has a "dull" feeling to it ? The breakfast was very nice, plenty of choice and the kitchen area was very clean, top marks for that. Upon check in the owner... More

Adequate Gay Hotel with above average rooms. I believe they are upgrading the bathrooms. Amenities were sufficient but far from luxurious. Each room is named after a popular gay celebrity. I stayed in the Judy Garland Suite. Rooms have microwaves and eating tables. I would have preferred more comfortable seating as I was inside the room much of the time... More

My new partner and I stayed here for two nights. Luckily, we were upgraded to the Elizabeth Taylor suite (bridal suite) which was perfect, as my partner is a big Elizabeth Taylor fan. There is nothing outright negative to report . . . I was just disappointed that the suite was really only the E.T. suite in name only (Here... More

We booked our room through the internet and had no idea what to expect. When we arrived the owner (Dale) was very friendly and we felt right at home within 5 minutes. We stayed in the Elizabeth Taylor suite and where extremely happy with the room, bedding and fluffy pillows. Several entertainment channels where available although we did not watch... More

My partner and I have stayed here numerous times. It is by far the best gay resort in Palm Springs. Dale and Ron are constantly adding new things to the property. Each room is different and ea h one goes bt a female movie star name. We have always stayed in the Lucille Ball room which I consider to have... More
