It had been 18 years since our last visit, so when the opportunity to make a trip to the west coast presented itself, I had no other place in my mind that I wanted to stay at. So I ended up having to call to make our reservation. Quick and easy to get everything booked. When we finally arrived, check in was east. The staff was friendly. And our room was almost as I remembered it was the last time, but with some upgrades. Our reservation was only for three nights, a decision I wish I had changed for one extra night. We enjoyed the Continental Breakfast, the delicery to the room was a nicely added touch. We took advantage of sitting poolside and relaxing in the hot tub at night. The dry sauna was great. And the outdoor shower offered the perfect and refreshing cool off. The few things that stuck out were minor. Maybe consider changing the toilet paper holders. And the TV with only the Roku news options kind of was a downside. Luckily someone had left their Disney+ logged in, so we took advantage of that. All I can say is that we weren’t even home for a week before we said we wanted to go back to Palm Sorings, and when we do, I’m confident we will be back at the Desert Paradise. The Staff is phenomenal and friendly and that was an added bonus.

The bed was comfortable, the service was top notch and the pool area and amenities are absolutely wonderful! Jeff, Rick and the rest of the team go out of their way to make sure you have everything you need and are comfortable.

This is a great place to stay when you want the party elsewhere and have your respite during the daytime poolside. Employees and service is friendly and personal let given there are 12 rooms. The grounds are well maintained and parking is easy.

Just back from a much-needed break in sunny Palm Springs. While we've stayed at most of the gay resorts in the area, this was our first stay at Desert Paradise. I don't know what took us so long. The staff, the upgrades the property, the friendly guests...it was all very nice. We'll definitely be back and definitely recommend it to our friends. A special thank you to the staff for making us feel so welcome!

It is amazing to see the transformation that this long-standing Palm Springs resort has undergone!! It is truly unrecognizable from its former iteration. The decor, the countless upgrades, the immaculate condition of the property…. If you’re hesitant because (like me) you remember how run down and antiquated it had become, pause no more!! This is totally different!! It is now one of the best men’s clothing optional resorts in all of Coachella Valley. What tops it all is how kind, sweet, and caring their staff is. They go out of their way to make you feel like family and to accommodate your every need. I just pray that they keep their rates reasonable, unlike two of my former favorite similar hotels that virtually doubled their rates overnight and lost me as a customer. Desert Paradise is now at the top of my list! And right in the heart of Warm Sands, making it walking distance to so much!!

This last week my second stay at Desert Paradise. After my first visit last year, I knew that I would return to Desert Paradise. Now that I finished my second visit, I am committing to returning every year for my annual visit to Palm Springs. The facility staff, atmosphere, and location in Palm Springs are outstanding.

Spent our 7 year anniversary there. Carson was sweet enough to help me surprise my husband with champagne. We had planned on doing so much in and around Palm Springs during our trip, but found ourselves just wanting to stay at the resort. Which meant a lot of time in the pool that resulted in a sunburn and mosquito bites. Jeremy was so kind to offer sunscreen and even brought some tea tree oil to room to help with the bites. I can not say enough about the staff and their welcoming vibe. Definitely planing another trip sooner than later!
