We stayed for 5 nights - and the place is just great!

Build like a small old Mexican town - with all modern facilities.

Use the spa and, take a swim among the palms while looking at hummingbirds - or soak in the sun in peace and quietness.

The rooms are well kept and cozy.

Ray and his beloved limo and everybody else working at the places are doing their utmost to make you feel special and comfortable.

We will definitely be back some day.

These are the same owners of The Desert Riviera nearby that we have been going to for our dose of sun every year, and they have done an excellent job of developing this hotel into just as fantastic an experience. I agree with another reviewer who called it a "hideaway," a nice shaded spot under tall palm trees with a very cool center courtyard and pool. Very comfy and homey. Old saltillo tile floors and courtyard. Nice and airy within the courtyard for a cool escape from the blazing sun but still with some sun exposure on the north side of the courtyard when you want it.

We stayed four nights over Thanksgiving weekend and the service began the moment I made my reservation. They emailed restaurant choices at various prices,things to do and places to visit and our room was ready the moment we arrived, even though we were an hour early. This is a small property with a lovely tropical feel,but if you're looking for a larger pool, in full sun, you might be happier at their "sister" property, Desert Riveria. It's a short walk down the street.The rooms are cozy, very clean, and include little touches to make you feel pampered. Larry, Patti, Lucy and Jay really go overboard to please their guests and we'd definitely return to the Hotel California.

This place was beyond great. Really take the time to enjoy the property for what it is. Use the kitchen, use the limo, and conversate with Jay. I work at a huge, world class hotel, and I prefer a small place like this everyday of the week. No, they don't have a gym, but their customer service is so great they would probably take you to a gym in a limo and pay for your day pass. The rooms aren't incredible, but I couldn't think of anything more comfortable. My friends and I will be back within the year if possible, and I miss it already.
