I don't give a "5" rating lightly. This hotel/resort is superb in every respect. The service, rooms, fitness center, bars, scenery, location, restaurants and amenities are spectacular. This resort caters to well-healed golfers, spa goers, shoppers and to conference attendees. The JW experience does not come cheap, but the Palm Springs area is not "low rent". It's probably not going... More

The Desert Springs JW Marriott Resort is a beautiful property, conveniently located. Took a long weekend to workout, relax by the pool and enjoy the great desert weather.

Close to the Freeway and has a Morton's, Ralphs and a few other shopping places across the street. Pretty grounds, and several nice restaurants on site. Good place for large business meetings. Golf course on site. Many people won't go to a national park in the desert, but Joshua Tree is very cool and only 35 minutes from Cottonwood Springs... More

The new rockwood grill was incredible and so was the ambience, food, service even the dishes were cool! The kids loved the birds and... More

Stayed here in April with 3 friends as part of the Coachella festival travel package. The resort is beautiful and the room was impeccably clean, with a great view of the mountains. We were towards the back so it was quite a distance to the lobby, but that's obviously why there is a boat in the lake that takes you... More

My wife and I visiting from Seattle heard of a great and unique experience in Palm Desert - to go to the JW Marriott to ride on a boat that can travel inside the resort and out onto wonderful lake. The lobby was impressive and we got on the boat to travel the lake. Once outside we were impressed by... More

My wife and I booked the spa and golf package and had a wonderful weekend. The room was large, clean and quiet. The pop corn ceilings made it a bit dated, but that is a very minor point. The staff was very friendly and helpful. I would recommend this resort to anyone looking to get away for the weekend. More
