Very clean, comfortable rooms. The air conditioning was fantastic, which was particularly nice during a March heatwave. The property is very well maintained and quiet.
The nicest place we stayed in Palm Desert! Everything we needed/wanted was there. Pickelball, tennis, golf, fitness centers, adult pools, pool bar, restaurants, full kitchen, WD, great staff, privacy, peaceful, beautiful grounds.
Unfortunately we had rain the first few days, however, because the room was so comfortable it didn’t matter. The resort offered activities for rainy days which was nice for the kids. The food and accommodations at Giuseppes’s restaurant was great!
The unit was clean and comfortable. I enjoyed my stay and will come back.

Great place only bad part they didn’t tell us we had both rooms . I spent hours on the phone with vrbo and also called the villa office until I went up there and they apologized that they didn’t tell me the key also worked for the other room .
We came to visit for our daughter’s competition and this is our 5th time staying at this property. There is a lot of space for families in the unit and the convenience of a kitchen and washer and dryer is great. It also looks like they have renovated the unit this year, and it looks great.
We had a wonderful time. We were very HAPPY with our room and the whole experience! My boyfriend loved the room as well, in fact, he didn't want to go home! We would definitely like to come back again this Summer!
I took my daughter and a few of her friends to spend a couple of days for her birthday. They range from age 17 to 18 and had a great time. They were able to swim and play at the different pools during the day and evening, hang out, and go to town for dinners. They even participated in a couple of the activities like bingo and karaoke. It was a perfect birthday.

Stay
The process with Koala was very smooth however once checking in to the property front desk was not very helpful. Overall ok stay
We had 8 guests, 2 families of 4. Both with children between the ages of 4-8 years old. There was plenty of room, a nice kitchen and balcony. Highly recommended
The stay was amazing, loved everything about the property. Would absolutely stay again. Any questions about the property it was much easier to contact the resort itself than the property manager. Contact between the manager and me was terrible, they were non-responsive. Other than that it was great!

The staff was overwhelmed during the check in process on this holiday weekend. Every guest was not treated the same. Only timeshare owners were given a welcoming acknowledgment. In the second room I usually book, there are usually two queen beds. When I called the front desk to see if there was another room available, they made it clear they do not accommodate people booking with a third party website. In addition, the pools were over crowded and people continued to walk on the golf course grass. Several times the staff had to escort people off the grass. Overall, this was NOT a relaxing getaway. I would definitely NOT stay here again.
