I requested Bld #1 or #2 on the 3rd Floor from reading other Trip Advisor reviewers. Maybe I shot too high seeing it was Memorial Weekend. I've been an SPG Plat member for years, now Gold, not that that matters one bit as described by prior writers. So, I was sent to Bld #6 on the 2nd Floor w/no possibility... More

I had planned to have guests over I was cooking however the MICROWAVE as an oven would not work. When I... More

Stayed to relax following 4 hectic theme park days. It was simply wonderful, for both the adults and kids, but the activities for the kids were awesome. They were never bored. Everything well kept. Service excellent. Beautiful setting. Only wish we had been closer to the pool, but that was the only negative. More

This was my first stay at the Westin Desert Willow, the rooms were great, I had a 1 bedroom with full stove and refrigerator. The pool area and lobby were very nice. The workout room was spacious and there was a coed steam and dry sauna. $15 for parking seemed high since this is not in a downtown but maybe... More

We're owners at the Desert Willow and have tried all of the buildings. By far, we like building six that faces the south. The rooms are fairly dark and with the southern exposure, the light realy brightens up the room. Service at the DW was excellent and staff extremely friendly. We had a great time in the sun and on...

I would say the desert willow villas was a great experience. I brought my wife, my 6 yr old, and my four year old. Pool activities for kids and adults were awesome, especially for the kids. There is always something to do by the pool. I don't golf so hanging out, drink in hand, with kids around the pool is... More

We got a great deal ($400 for 4 nights as they were enticing us to buy-in) and used it as a way to explore and enjoy Joshua Tree NP. While the daily drive to JT was a bit longer than we anticipated, it worked out really well. We were in a one bedroom condo overlooking the golf course. The kitchen,... More

The Westin Desert Willows is small compared to some of the mega-resorts in the area. The rooms were large and well finished. The pool area was spectacular. However, the price was almost 2x a comparable villa a Marriott's Shadow Ridge. And for you SPG Platinum's, you'll be second fiddle to timeshare owners. More

We stayed in a one bedroom condo overlooking the golf course. Grounds are very nice, and we enjoyed the pool area, which was never crowded. Kitchen was well stocked, and several grocery stores are a short drive away. This was especially convenient since there is only one restaurant and limited breakfast options. Although we were near the building under construction,... More
