I frequent the 760 area often. I choose this hotel based on the reviews and I got the room 40% off due to an Expedia special. When we arrived it was after hours. The lobby DOES not stay open 24/hrs nor does it have a walk up window to check in. I was very confused on how I was going... More

The Sands is a gem of the desert in the highest priced zip code in the Palm Springs area. It is convient to all great golf courses, and the Indian Wells tennis resort and restaurants and shopping. The rates are 1/2 the cost of the surrounding hotels, the rooms are clean, the beds comfortable, the staff super friendly. There is... More

We stayed here using time share points. We were very pleased. Yes, the room was very small, but we didn't spend that much time in it. Partial kitchen was adequate for our needs and there was communal kitchen and barbeque grills for use by guests if one wanted to cook. Pool was very nice - warm like bathwater - with... More

The Sands of Indian Wells is a little hidden gem in beatiful Indian Wells, CA. It isn't a 5 star property, but the rooms are clean and the grounds are well kept. The salt pool is a definite plus and the jaccuzzi is large and very relaxing. Coffee is served every morning in the "Coachella" room if you do not... More

Sands of Indian Wells I liked our stay at the Sands of Indian Wells in Palm Springs, although the rooms can afford to be bigger, staff was helpful and friendly. The rooms are clean and had everything we needed. The kitchen is small but we didn’t cook, we ate out most days. We love to travel but hotels are not... More

This hotel/timeshare is located in the heart of Indian Wells, a very upscale community near Palm Springs. We purchased a week via "last minute vacations" and therefore are speaking from another perspective....the "last minute" crowd. We got a great deal for the week, so all the annoying parts of this timeshare reflect the price we paid. However, for people who... More

Have stayed here twice. Timeshare resort, so some amenities limited, but all have kitchens. Front desk folks nice and very helpful. I like that it is gated at night (no non-guests wandering in). Kid-friendly, large pool, can get loud in summer and on weekends but generally quiet during week in other months. Decor somewhat dated, but okay. Small apartment-like rooms... More
