Hotels Near Agua Caliente Indian Canyons in Palm Springs

All Dad wanted was a pool to hang out in for the weekend. I did my research and it paid off! Even though some comments made the pool sound ”not that great” ...it was! The online pictures don't do it justice! It's BIG, clean, only 5' deep total so you can walk across! Plenty of chairs and umbrellas, just really pretty and fun! Music playing at just the right sound. Pool bar food good and fast delivery.

From the Grand Canyon, I chose this hotel. The hotel is in a good location. The rooms are fully equipped with microwave, refrigerator, coffee machine, and the first floor. The outside of the room is a pool and hot spring pool. I have a comfortable spa at night. Free parking in the yard, there is a restaurant at the entrance of the hotel, very delicious, a lot of people. 20 minutes drive from the desert Ole, shopping is super convenient.

Let me start off by saying this hotel is totally underrated and super cool. Awesome room, spacious, decor was lovely and the pool/spa was great. Linda who works here was polite, kind and the best concierge person I have dealt with. Wonderful customer service. I will definitely stay here again.

The RItz Carlton Rancho MIrage was perfect for our time in the Palm Springs area. We were upgraded to a fire pit room with a desert view and loved it. After a night swim we would return to a lit fire and view of a full moon. It was a beautiful way to start the day as well. The view was gorgeous. We had a child with us so we could only use the large family pool. There were always chairs available and the staff was so helpful. They would open umbrellas, pass out ice water, frozen berries, and small smoothies. We ate at the restaurant a few times and it was always good ( I usually hate hotel food). We were 6 miles away from downtown Palm Springs, but it was a quick drive to grab lunch, wander around and check out the art museum. If you enjoy nature, this is the right hotel for you.

It's far from Joshua Tree National Park and there's nothing to see around. You can think of nothing but sleeping. The price is not cheap for that

Location: Rancho Mirage could be the best place to stay in the valley. It’s close to all the towns in the area and has great restaurants and shops. The HIE is really conveniently situated near shopping and with at least 5 or 6 restaurants within easy walking distance. Check-in / out and staff: Everything was great with the exception of check in. We arrived just after noon, and were told the room wasn’t ready. Asked them to please get it ready asap. Two hours later and still nothing. Another half an hour and I started to have a sense of humor failure. Really, is it not possible to clean a room in well over 2 hours? Highly irritating and unnecessary. Parking: Plenty parking round the hotel, free. Room: Really clean and well appointed. Large screen Tv, refrigerator, Keurig coffee maker, and microwave. Breakfast: The usual, with a reasonable selection of both hot and cold choices. Wi-Fi: Fluctuated quite a bit, but overall it was okay. (See test pic) TV and Air Conditioning: Both were new and functioned well. Stay again? Definitely. Whilst not cheap, unfortunately all hotels are relatively expensive in this part of the world!

I had been at this hotel in 1984 (for Marriott training)so I didn’t have high expectations due to the age of the property….but I have to say I was totally overwhelmed. The staff was so wonderful at the start from the lovely gal who checked us in (she has only been there 7 months) all the way to the friendly pool attendant. Omni has done a wonderful job in renovating the property. the food and beverage product was wonderful in the Blue Ember restaurant (chicken jidori delightful) The bartenders were all so friendly and they offered a great selection of handcrafted cocktails (my favorite was the pink gin drink. I had forgotten what a great location the hotel is (close to the 111. Housekeepers were excellent and always greeted us as we roamed the property. I have worked in hospitality for many years…but this is one hotel that I definitely would return to. Ps great French restaurant just around the corner.

To be honest this resort wasn’t our first choice for a girls trip - but I found us a great deal and it had decent reviews. We arrived late at night and were impressed by the spacious entry way. Check-in was quick and easy - although the front desk clerk was perhaps not the most friendly. I asked if he had any tips for us - it was our first time to the area and he said, “umm Palm Springs is about 30 min away”. Yep we just flew in so that’s one thing we did know We had the choice between the main building and outer building. I didn’t know what that meant so I went with main and I’m glad we did. We were in the 6th floor, not far from an elevator which was handy for the Oasis pool area Breakfast in the morning at Rockwood was fantastic. Between the group we tried the American breakfast and Wet Burrito on the first day and it was ll fantastic. The rest of the trip we opted for the buffet. At $32 a person including beverages it was a great deal. The buffet included fruits, bagels and breads, smoked salmon and meats, breakfast potatoes, bacon, eggs, biscuits and gravy, sausage, waffles and an omelet station. On the weekend they had a crepe station. The pastry selections were fantastic and delicious. There were 3 pools in the Oasis pool area- a lap pool, larger pool and “upper deck”. The upper deck is just a smaller pool that seemed to be more of an overflow area - would have made sense to be an adults only pool but wasn’t. There were some VIP chairs but for $75 were completely unnecessary on our trip. We had no problem finding pool chairs near the pool and under umbrellas . Water stations around the pool were a nice touch The first day we had one pool server who was amazing and went above and beyond. Think his name was Connor. The next day we had a server that gave us a sign to raise when we wanted help…they sold pool floaties and I asked if we purchased one did the pool in gate them for us…most resort pools do…. She was offended I implied she might blow up the floaty and said we could do it ourselves or try to get a pool boy to do it but she brought the drinks. Ummm. Definitely didn’t expect our server to inflate a floaty - sorry I asked Pool drinks were great. Skip the nachos but the quesadilla was great and only $13 The lobby shop was inflated more than I expected but had a great selection of things you may have forgotten at home - also had pool floaties for $13 compared to $18-25 at the pool. The resort had a lot of fun things to do that we didn’t have time for - mini golf, outside lawn games and boat rides. The hotel bar looked fun and was centrally located Overall a very good stay - exceeded our expectations and I think we’ll be back! Definitely get the breakfast!

Onsen is a beautiful place to stay! The staff were really friendly and helpful throughout each interaction. The room was well presented, clean and tastefully decorated. The bed was comfortable. The shower caters to tall people - 6'4” tall and easily able to stand under the showerhead. The pool and spa were great for relaxing the aches after a day of driving. Would absolutely recommend Onsen to anyone staying in the area.
