Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

We had a 2 bedroom suite. Nice view of the course which is gorgeous. Kitchen well stocked and had condiments for coffee and small salt/pepper. Everything you’ll need to cook or serve is there Lots of living space - we had two couples there and were very happy. Lots of pools and amenities easy to order food. Not many options for breakfast - and no restaurant for dinner. Note - NO PETS!

Slow maintenance here. The hot tub at one of the pools was hot for a couple days then got quite a bit cooler. We talked to 3 different people over several days and it never got fixed. Very frustrating .. this was over the thanksgiving holiday time .

Repeat visitors and Gold Marriott members. Enclaves apartment decor feeling a bit tired and grubby now so unsure when they are due for remodel as some of the Villages part currently being done now. We were on the third floor (is an elevator). Could never get a park outside our apartment the entire week which never happens at sister properties we stay in at Desert Springs 1 and 2. More activities offered here at this resort though and complimentary cocktail afternoons which are not at Desert Springs. Pools were lovely but way too crowded and yelling kids as school holidays. Please consider an adult only pool, would be so easy to do, I don’t like the design of the Enclaves apartments. We had a two bedroom and both bedrooms face on to the walkways, so poor natural light and privacy. The headboard of each master room backs on to the AC unit of your neighbour which means it is noisy. Poor design. No one in the neighbouring apartment but AC still running continuously. Not very ‘Green’. Our neighbour was urinating over his balcony one night and saw I had seen him. I reported but never heard any more. The main gates to the resort are permanently open which I did not appreciate as anyone can come and go, very easy to use the pools etc. Why have security gates if they’re not used? I had mail which was sent prior to my arrival. I had to ask several times and follow up before staff found it despite being correctly addressed. Would loved to have tried the free yoga classes offered but was always at 7.00 a.m. Given guests are holidaying why not offer later? Annoying too that there are no pool towels at the pool, you have to take them to and from your room. Why? Inconsistent with your sister properties. Also at 3pm everyone is made to exit the pool due to heat for ten minutes. Why? Again, does not happen at sister properties. We are all adults , let us decide when to exit the pool. Would choose Desert Springs Villas in future over Shadow Ridge.

Decided to book a last minute trip for my family before the kids start school. We chose the enclaves at Desert Ridge and I’m glad we made this choice. Our stay was amazing. The best part for the kids was The Mirage center where they offer activities for the kids. Dennis and his team were amazing and very helpful, this was the kids favorite part of the trip. Definitely will be back and book a longer stay next time.

Absolutely love the Shadow Ridge and love that its tucked away on its own area away from the DT City of PS. I fly in twice a year to just stay here with my husband and have family outings here. We flew in for my Daughters Graduation party that never happened due to Covid. Every time I have stayed here, I have been lucky to get the building number that I have asked for, and the rooms are big, spacious and crystal clean. We get the suite with kitchen to hold 6 guests or more. My family loves the Pools and all the activities, tennis, biking, crafts and painting class and Aqua Aerobics. You have to bring your room Yellow Bath towels to the pool as they do not have towels. They have bar and grills at both pool locations, Chuckwalla and Snake. It nice to grab a cool mixed drink and be in the pool with it. They don't allow float devices in any kid's pools, so no floats, but you can have swim floaties on your arms. The adult only pool allows floats. I have a torn ACL as being in the pool and walking close by has helped. The Starbucks at the Clubhouse is perfect to get that early drink before Tee off for Golf.

We enjoyed our stay at this beautiful vacation property, which is conveniently located in a great area of Palm Desert. We stayed in the 'guest' suite which worked well for just the 2 of us, and we appreciated the kitchenette for snacks and drinks. The Enclave section is smaller and less congested than the main area which seemed to be busy with family activities. The fitness center was well equipped and we enjoyed the Enclave pool with plenty of chairs, covered seating an a large screen TV. We mostly dined off property since they're much offered for dining options other than the pool bars.

We stayed at this property for a girls retreat and were happy with all of the space the unit offered. The other amenities were geared toward families so we didn't use much and we went off property to eat as well but there were many options close by. The front desk staff was really helpful in directing us to local places too. Everything was super clean both in the room and around the property.

We often stay for a few nights in Marriott timeshares rather than Hotels.. This is one of their best in terms of "apartment size". Great location. Maintenance is good but please on next makeover drop the cool 1960 look!! WE had outstanding views over mountains for our balcony.

Well - we've been owners for almost 14 years now and every visit is just a dream. To address some of the reviews below, this is a timeshare facility as well as hotel, so no amenities like room service or daily housekeeping. More like the best of an AirBnB with huge benefits and none of the guesswork! All one bedroom units have a fully stocked kitchen and there are great grill areas throughout the grounds to BBQ. Lots of grocery stores nearby so we take advantage and stock up at the beginning. There are a few snack bars on site, but for a night out, Palm Desert and Palm Springs have plenty of great options. The grounds themselves are really beautiful - so many great little areas to explore! We don't golf, so can't speak to the courses, other than the fact that they are pretty to look at. For us, it's the pool areas and the add-ons. There's a great full gym at the main building (including Saunas), but we use the cute little Gym right at the Enclaves area. Pools are - well - spectacular. Main pool in the Enclaves area was down for our visit (well - not heated and VERY cold). That would have been really disappointing if we were travelling with kids as it's a great pool with a beach entry. That being said, it was a little chilly while we were there (January) and not many people were actually using the pool, so the other one (right next to it) worked out fine. The main pool area was gorgeous as usual and the third, kind of secret, "Quiet" pool (always about 5 degrees warmer than the others) was great. Hot tubs at each pool area. The daily activities are great - we did the (free) morning Yoga every weekday, but there were multiple other fitness classes/nature walks/craft activities available. Sometimes there's a small fee for the crafts for materials. Tennis and Pickleball courts are great and there's a couple of fun mini-golf areas and some basketball mini-courts as well. Bike/Raquet rentals on site and very reasonable. There's usually a combination of seniors and families staying there and we have always found it a pretty friendly crew! I would say it's a great options for families - something for kids of all ages. My son learned to swim here and even though he's a big surly teenager now he still makes sure to say "hi" to the turtle statues he used to climb on as a little kid. For us, it's an ideal family holiday that gets better every time.
