The Lodge was a very speacial place for my wife and I when we visited Palm Springs. The whole property was to our liking and the staff was outstanding. I keep saying the word was because of all the reviews I just read. It would be a shame if The Lodge really has gone down the tubes. Perhaps when it... more

Well I just wanted to say how much we loved the Rancho. We had booked an entire week here for our first stay to Palm Springs. But on reading so many negative reviews we decided to only stay two nights and stay at the Hyatt Grand Champions Resort for the rest of the time. We totally regretted this decision within... more

I have stayed at this property both when it used to be a ritz carlton and when it was taken over by rock lodges. It was fabulous as an R-C, still good as a Rock Lodge, but I have to say that this time it's awful. We booked a golf package and then when we got here, 2 of the... more

We just got back from The Lodge at it was a bust. The room had a large pull/rip in the carpet, the hostess overcharged us by 100 bucks and the massage was awful. I have stayed here many times over the years and this was beyond bad. The staff was grumbling that the Ritz would be closing the place down... more

This was our (my girlfriend and I) 2nd time visiting the resort. Our first round last June (05) turned out very well and I posted my comments on this site. We were actually very impressed last time. After visiting this time around, we began to understand why so many people have bad things to say about this resort. Last year... more

At first glance this hotel looks wonderful, the lobby area is gorgeous and remodeled, however, the rooms are less than desireable. We were told that our room would be Ritz Carlton quality and that this was a 4 star Resort. This was not the case, the room was old, smelly and had no appeal at all. We requested to be... more

We have stayed at the Lodge several times and I think this is by far the most beautiful and civilized setting in the Palm Springs area (although we also often go to the other resorts such as Las Palmas and the Hyatt Grand Champions for more extensive children activities). The moment we drive up that hill, we start breathing with... more

We have just returned from a short stay at the Lodge and I have to say we have mixed feelings about the place. We went with friends who are regular visitors who had told us that it was a lovely relaxing place to stay. We arrived to find that the President was in residence so any thoughts of relaxing went... more

We were so relaxed within hours of arriving that we renamed it to Rancho Relaxo. After entered the beautiful old style lobby we went down to our lovely room put on the provided fluffy white dressing gowns and went down to the lovely pool and jacuzzi area. There were magnificent views from the pool and bar areas. The hightlight of... more
