I have been coming to this hotel for 25 years. It has always been my favorite resort style hotel. Great pool, although the pool chairs are getting dated. Overall a spectacular resort that I will once again come to.

Marriott is my "go to" hotel and this one has the look/feel and service you expect at a JW Marriott. Every staff person was extremely friendly and helpful. Room was clean as was the entire resort. Now for the cons. Like other reviewers have said, this is party central on the weekends. I arrived on Saturday and it was like... More

I'm a platinum member at Marriott and I can say with 100% certainty my last stay here was the worst hotel experience I've ever had. Paid in advance for a cabana only to have it given to a bunch of thugs before we got there, a full blown bar room riot broke out in the night club, rooms weren't made... More

This hotel was a bit disappointing for a JW. The hotel grounds are lovely and our family enjoyed the many of the amenities. The boats were a big hit with our 8 and 9 year old boys, and the grounds were lovely. Unfortunately, we had several issues with the resort. Check-in was a breeze, and we were greeted by a... More

I have never been this impressed with a hotel before. Everything about this hotel was perfect. Very clean inside and out. The most friendly people I have ever experienced, from the front desk, to the people in the restaurants, employees walking past you, anywhere you were on the property. The golf course was excellent. I would recommend this place to... More

The resort in general seemed a little bit sub-standard than I've come to expect from a JW Marriott. The pool area was not as clean as I would expect (tables & chairs dirty) and had cheap plastic chairs and tables. However the rest of the resort was nice. I agree with 841ann about the crowd, come Thursday afternoon/Friday there was... More

Just stayed at the Desert Springs JW Marriot Resort. I was travelling with my family so I booked a suite. My wife was quite unhappy to find out that all of the suites are configured with two double beds in one room and a Murphy bed in the other room. My wife did not like paying in excess of $500... More

Just got back from a week's vacation. Last visit 25 yrs. ago and it is still the beautiful place I remembered. Even better. Fantastic, friendly service by all staff and immaculate rooms and property. My only tip...do your sightseeing on Sat. and Sun. and pool time during the weekdays. Weekends it is loaded with obnoxious, drunk and sloppy weekenders over... More

Recently attended an onsite meeting at this fabulous hotel. WOW! What a view from any location you may be standing in. Four pools, a very large spa with an additional pool, wonderful bar area and lush guest rooms. The service is beyond compare. Meeting space for all sizes of groups. Wide selection of restaurants and shops on the property. Highly... More
