Palm Desert Oasis

An August 2004 trip to Palm Desert by NordyK

My wife and two children had an amazing time. The staff was outstanding, the rooms immaculate, and the amenities such as the pools, theatre, gym, and arcade were fabulous. A perfect family vacation destination. We enjoyed the ice maker and margarita mixer that was in our room, an all-around excellent experience.

Best Things Nearby:
Fabulus shopping, restaurants, and activities. A superb restaurant, Pacifica, had an incredible 2-for-1 wine deal during the month of August, which we enjoyed thorougly. "Boomers" is an activity area near the resort which is great for kids; we spent a whole day there between trips to Disneyland, which took about 2 hours of driving to get to. There is a grocery store just at the end of the street from the resort. Very handy when you need more margarita mix or cilantro for that special recipe.

Best Things About the Resort:
The amenities at this resort are outstanding. The numerous pools, theatre, arcade, and covered baskeball court made the resort seem like a real desert oasis. There is a gym located in the golf clubhouse which is very impressive, immaculately clean, and well stocked (water, towels, lockers, equipment). The staff was incredibly friendly and helpful.

Resort Experience:
When you drive onto the resort, you are amazed by how well it is set into the surrounding scenary. Check-in was a breeze, and we felt right at home. There is a pool within steps of almost any unit, and the entire environment was extremely kid-friendly while leaving areas for adult fun and socializing. The art, furniture, and decor really create a dramatic "WOW" factor.

Best Things Nearby:
The resort was about two hours away from Disneyland. It had a pool on-site and was adjacent to a golf course that was affiliated, but not directly owned, by the timeshare corporation. I was near shopping areas and restaurants.

Best Things About the Resort:
The rooms were very large and well laid out. The pool was nice, but the laundry facility was not ideal and centrally located in its own building by the pool.

Resort Experience:
A nice, spacious resort which had good amenities. It was clean, and the staff was friendly. There were no activities for children or child-minding services available on-site.
