Quiet, cozy and simple
Pros:

It was quiet and peaceful. I didn't see any bugs in the unit or outside around the pool. Bedding could use an update but I have my own bedding and pillow from home. The kitchen was super cute, the living room was very spacious and the back patio was spacious also. I would recommend it! Also, the check was different but if you follow the instructions posted outside you will be fine!

Cons:

Maybe a little backyard work. Grass needed trimming. That's it!

we usually love staying here but our experience was tainted by waiting 45 minutes in the car to check in while it was 11
Pros:

love the location. feels tucked away and 24 hour pool was great for the heat.

Cons:

bungalows could use upgrades. couches are dingy, not the cleanest, found broken glass on our floor.

A peaceful, retro Palm Springs getaway that we absolutely loved!
Pros:

My husband and I absolutely loved our stay! We stayed in one of the larger casita-style rooms overlooking the pool, and it was light, airy, comfortable, and beautifully retro. The curbside check-in was new to us, but it was incredibly easy and convenient. We also loved that the property is adults-only—it made our getaway feel especially peaceful and relaxing.

Cons:

Honestly, we didn’t dislike anything—we only wished we could have stayed longer!

It would be nice if it actually acted as said to be advertised
Pros:

The room was kind of quiet and comfortable, the people who were on the property were cool in welcoming me and assisted me on how to check in and make payment.

Cons:

I didn’t like the fact that all of my food and goods, including Dairy products got all bad and spoiled because the Minnie refrigerator that was there to service me didn’t work all. There was no microwave available to heat up foods. That very much disturbed me and my stay.
Also the outside grounds of the hotel smelled like dead rats and death.

Did not meet expectations even at low price.
Pros:

The room was big with a lot of windows. And the overall place on the inside was pretty nice even though the outside looks sketch. My patio and private yard were great. My biggest problems were that the AC in the bedroom did not work and the refrigerator was not cold. When it's over 100 degrees outside, those 2 items are very important. I called the office and he said he would have staff come and get it working. They never came. And there is no ice machine in the premises nor in the refrigerator. The price and overall facility is good but without adequate AC or management responsibility, I would not stay here again. My checkin process was impersonal and very long to get me in the right room.

Cons:

AC
Refrigerator
Freezer
Checkin
Staff follow-thru

Avoid
Pros:

Nothing

Cons:

Very disappointing stay – not the accommodation we booked.
Check-in: we waited almost 45 minutes outside the door before anyone sent us the access code and told us which unit was ours.
We had booked a 111 m² bungalow with a kitchen, terrace, bathroom and bedroom. On arrival, half of the property was blocked off by a grim-looking folding screen with a sign saying that anyone crossing it would be charged a $250 fee. That screen sealed off the entire kitchen area – so we were left with just a bedroom and a bathroom, i.e. a fraction of what we paid for.
Worse, the air conditioning was located in the closed-off section. All we had was a small portable unit, and in that heat the room was unbearable.
We messaged the property immediately, at 3pm, with a photo, asking what the screen was and requesting a solution. The answer was that they would look into it – and then nothing. We followed up several times and never got a reply. Their only attempt to contact us was a phone call at 11:45pm, almost nine hours after the problem was reported. By then we had already given up waiting: with no response and no usable accommodation, we had to leave the property and book somewhere else at our own expense.
Paying full price for a property that is physically cut in half, with no working AC and no response from the host, and then having to pay a second time for a room elsewhere, is not acceptable. I would strongly advise booking elsewhere.
