Desert Paradise Hotel

Friendly management, pleasant sociable guests, nice and clean room. Great location on Warm Sands Drive. I would recommend this place.

Desert Paradise is a first class resort because the owner, Dale, pays attention. It's a small resort, so it is managable for cleaning, maintainence and improvements. I've stayed here a number of times and have also stayed at most of the other Warm Sands resorts. By far, it is the cleanest. It's the only resort in this area where you actually see someone going around and sweeping, hosing, wiping and picking up. As a single traveler, I found the atmosphere friendily and sexual - but not like a bathhouse. It naturally varies, with the guests. The only negatives about this wonderful resort are the small size gets alittle closed in after awhile and even lonely when there aren't many other guests, and it gets very expensive for more than a 2 or 3 night stay. Some of the other resorts lower their rates for during the week.

This was my first stay at this resort and it won't be my last. This resort is truly PARADISE and THE WHOLE PROPERTY IS REALLY CLEAN!!! Dale (the owner) and Ron (the manager)attention to detail and cleanliness is unmatched. Reservation Experience- Excellent. Made reservation via phone. Given Conformation # and received a follow-up E-mail with included arrival and departure dates, room #, rate/night, total $$ including all taxes. (Nice! - NO surprises) I was contacted about a week (via E-mail and phone) before arrival to confirm my estimated time of arrival. Check-in and Check-out - Excellent - Flawless. Since this was my first visit, I was given a short orientation of the property and my room. They also have a resort channel that continually repeats useful information about everything you could possibly want to know about the resort. (Like how to adjust the thermostat and ceiling fan, office hours, emergency phone #'s ,breakfast time, etc.) Between my personal orientation and the resort channel all my questions were answered.

The Jacuzzis temperature was so comfortable you could stay in for long periods of time without overheating Breakfast- It is self service between 8:00 and 10:00 AM. Have as much as you want. Other Guests The majority of the guests during my 6 day stay range in age from the 40's to the 50's. About 70% were couples to 30% singles. All men over age 18 are welcome to this no attitude resort. During my stay there was a group of 4 guys in their early 20's. At first, they were a little shy, but soon were cavorting and interacting with the other guests. Us "OLD" guys really enjoyed their youthful exuberance. The sexual atmosphere is rated as low. If you want a highly charged sexual atmosphere, this is not the resort for you. Suggestion- If you want to experience both a quiet relaxing environment as well as a highly charged sexual one- Stay here for the relaxing part and get yourself a day/night pass at one of the other sexually charged resorts located around Palm Springs. Stay at Desert Paradise -Play at ____.The property is clothing optional in all areas. I'd estimate it was 50-50 as to those wearing a swimsuit to those who went nude.
