First, I’m not hard to please. If I book a Motel 6, I know what I’m getting. If I book the Post Hotel, I also know what to expect. Pricing sets the expectation. At least I know Motel 6 staff would bang on some doors if need be.
Korakia Pensione prices itself closer to a luxury wellness property, similar to the Post Hotel, but the amenities don’t quite match that level.
Room rates vary widely from around $600 per night for the smallest room to over $1,090 per night for larger rooms.
There’s no TV (which Im sure is intentional for the wellness vibe), no iron or ironing board, and no in-room tea service though there is an electric kettle. They deliver two small cups of coffee to your room each morning, which is a nice touch. There were a few insects in the room during our stay, and the ceiling fan wouldn’t turn off unless you turned off the light. Not a big deal.
Breakfast is served in the courtyard, with two options to choose from. There are baskets of oranges in the rooms and around the property, which is charming. The property has two heated saltwater pools open 24 hours and bicycles available to ride around town.
The location is excellent, just three blocks from downtown and honestly, that’s what you’re paying for. There’s no on site restaurant. They will order from local restaurants on your behalf, but it comes with a surcharge plus a delivery fee.
Unfortunately, our last night was rough. Our neighbors played loud techno music from 8 p.m. to 8 a.m. I contacted the front desk and didn’t receive a response. I had come down with Influenza A the day before and was already feeling awful, so being unable to sleep made it even more challenging.
Overall, beautiful property and incredible location but at that price point, I personally expect a bit more in terms of amenities and guest support.
I wouldn’t stay here again, unless the price was drastically reduced.
Breakfast was consistently very good and the staff were very friendly. The location of the eating area was also delightful. Every morning they brought coffee and left it outside of our room and we loved that! We also loved the ambiance of the hotel and the personalization of the service!! Really lovely place - we would definitely stay there again!!
Our room was small - which was fine but we would have liked to be able to both sit in a chair when in the room. Bed was very comfortable and the overall aesthetic was very appealing.
The place itself is like a Moroccan Oasis in the middle of the desert. Beautiful rooms and grounds. Excellent staff and service. Little touches that made a big difference. Love it!
The place. The staff. The grounds. The pool. The cocktails. The little touches like coffee delivered to your room at 7 am. And more…
Calm and relaxing
No complaints
I got a 90 minute massage by a black haired white lady at 2:30 PM on Saturday 12/20. I don’t know her name but she was extremely inexperienced and claimed she was intuitive but it was the farthest thing from. The massage was like $300 and it was not worth it AT ALL. I left with all the knots I came in with. She didn’t tie my hair up, she didn’t ask how the pressure was I had to tell her to go deeper because all she was doing was moving her hard back and forth on my arms/legs not massaging, rubbing and when she got to my back she didn’t massage it idk what she was doing, and when I told her to go deeper she said sure and pushed her fingers so deep in my shoulders it hurt bad and didn’t ask again, how the pressure was. It was extremely uncomfortable and not a good experience at all. My boyfriend ended up tipping her a lot too because that’s just what he does so I assume she thinks she did a good job but she did not. Not sure where she went to school but would not recommend.
Great breakfast, great mint tea. Great outdoor space
No TV in the bedroom. bit over priced, liked stardust hotel a lot more. Bathroom shower pressure is a bit low, temperature should be higher.
This was my second stay at Korakia -- my first was in The Orchard House and this time I chose the Thessaly Room. Two different spaces, but same sense of spaciousness, light, and peace. I was in Marrakech this time last year and felt like I was right back there with the candlelit lanterns at night, flowers and tiled surfaces everywhere, and warm hospitality. Thank you Korakia Girls, for an amazing stay!
Korakia was totally my jam! From start to finish, the "Korakia Girls" will take care of you. Upon check-in, after passing through the beautiful courtyard, they provide a delicious mint tea (spiked with vodka if you like, though I passed on that) in a Moroccan glass. My knees were aching from a few days of hiking, so upon request, ice bags were waiting for me in the freezer in the room. Each room is unique, but all are equipped with a Victrola and a selection of records. (If you want, you can find more in the lobby). I was pleasantly surprised to see some of my favorites already in the room and playing as they brought me in. (Nice touch!) There are free bikes for riding around downtown, which is within walking distance, but it was fun to use the bike for exploring. Every morning, they leave a thermos of coffee outside your door with a handwritten note, and in the evening, a small gathering of lavender is delivered, with a tag holding a Native American proverb. Also in the evenings, the grounds are lit with candles and classic movies play in the courtyard. There is yoga, heated pools, a bar, food delivery service. I went alone this time but would love to go back with friends.
Pros:
Perfect location
Quiet
Wonderful staff
Every room is unique
Lots of character
Lovely pool and fireplace area
Cons:
At the top of our price range
Had a wonderful Thanksgiving week at Korakia. Walking distance to downtown Palm Springs. Can also borrow bikes to go anywhere.
Stayed in the Artist room, which is huge, with very tall ceilings, and lovely views of the mountains and sky, painters easels and no noise.
Our side of the hotel had 6-8 rooms with Moroccan architecture. The other side across the street, has an Italian/Greek design.
Very nice staff.
They hosted a Thanksgiving dinner for guests which was fantastic.
Ended up at about $500/night total, which was pricey for us, but a bargain for Thanksgiving week in a place as nice as this, and perfectly located.
We stayed one night for my birthday in the Adobe Room. Upon arrival, we were told that the “Mediterranean side” of the property is closed due to a private event. Pretty disappointing since we chose this hotel to experience all the amenities and paid $500 a night for it. We were also told by the staff that they will play a movie outside the room by 7pm, we waited until the 7:30 pm by the pool for the movie but nobody played it. When we asked the front desk, they said they only do it in the Mediterranean side.
The bathroom in the adobe room is also really small. Hard to use the toilet because of the space. The main bathroom light was also flickering. We were only offered one breakfast choice during breakfast.
Loved the room
We did have an incident that was cleared rather quickly- we were charged 2x in error.
My husband and i have vacationed in Palm Springs for the past 25 years and have stayed at multiple charming places - however Korakia is something else - the experience is absolutely magical and we have made it a tradition to stay in the Naish House as it is truly special. If you are looking for a Zen experience with total relaxation this is your place! It has become our Happy Place and there is no way we will ever stay anywhere else - the amount of attention to detail is absolutely stunning at every turn - if you appreciate beauty, simplicity, relaxation, friendlies, lovely music playing throughout the day, peace and quiet plus some oƒ the most stunning views of the mountains, skies, trees, flowers, birds - this is the place to stay. We cannot wait to be back :)))
The hotel if you can call it that does not live up to the Instagram hype and good PR. This feels more like a bed and breakfast with hotel pricing. With so many other great hotels a stones throw away with full service restaurants, drinks, coffee etc I would not recommend staying here. The breakfast was bizarre. Only two choices which were being made by the reception workers was a blue milk oatmeal with uncooked old fashioned oats. If you want other food they tell you to order DoorDash or they’ll do it for you and change it to your room. If you want coffee or espresso forget about it. Our room was over $500 a night and it was so small you had to crawl into it and the bathtub was basically just a tiled hole in the floor with no separation from the shower. There are two small and cold pools and on one side you can’t have cocktails because I guess they don’t have a liquor license over there? And you can’t walk across with a cocktail from the other side. It was so hard to find anyone who worked there and when you did it was like you were bothering them or asking a big favor. Also not sure if this is a recent Palm Speings thing but the mosquitos were completely out of control. I was eaten up within the first hour and they have some natural spray that doesn’t work and no cortaid to help after you get bitten. I would definitely not stay again or recommend esp when there are so many other great portions right there like Holiday House, Casa Cody, The Thompson, The Avalon, Ingleside etc.
酒店非常多蚊子！但是却没有任何防蚊措施，房间里也没有，只在前台有一瓶喷雾，全身被咬了几十个包，非常生气！价格昂贵但是却没有温泉….房间有异味很难闻，根本住不下去，最终导致我们被迫临时更换酒店，然而没有任何退款
The staff was so lovely and kind! Every bit of our stay felt thoughtful and relaxing. We stayed in the Naish House for our anniversary and I cannot recommend it enough. Thank you so much for making our stay so wonderful!!!
Staff was really nice. Beautiful place and very accommodating.
I loved everything about my experience here. The chill vibe, the views, the Moroccan inspired architecture. Check in was easy, we were greeted with a mint tea. Breakfast was prepared daily (included) and was delicious. Relaxing by the pools was amazing. The classic B&W movies under the stars from the pool was pretty cool. Coffee sitting outside my door every morning in a thermos. Staff were attentive and very kind. At night, the entire property lit up with lanterns and candles. It was a perfect stay and I will absolutely be back.
