Let me start by saying that I have stayed at many resorts like this one. In Palm Spring and across the country, and our expectations are pretty realistic. We came back to the Warm Sands Villas since our last stay a couple years back was pleasant. Unfortunately, this time was not the case. We were greeted by a barren front... More

This is to confirm the new owners of Warm Sands Villas are making their mark. The very nice straight couple who are the new owners are operating the resort strictly as a business, and it's irrelevant to them whether it's a straight or gay resort. It's just a business proposition for them. At least, that's what they said. They also... More

like others, I was quite concerned to find that Warm Sands Villas had been sold... and to someone outside our community. I'll admit to feeling a bit awkward upon check-in, having been a patron of WSV for years... new owners AND new staff kinda threw me. But everyone seemed nice and accomodating. My room and the grounds were as I... More

Unfortunately, I must agree with Don C. The new owners are nice enough, but they're changing things, and not for the better. No more torches around the pool. An insurance problem, they said. Really? No misters durng the day, either. What's up with that? Frank is still there -- bless him -- but two other employees quit during our stay.... More

My partner and I generally stat at the Inndulge; however, we had plans changed and decided to go to Palm Springs.....of course the Indulge was booked full (as usual). Based on friends comments and web reviews of Warm Sands, we decided to give this place a shot. The good: Nice grounds, solid rooms, and an overall very relaxing environement. The... More

I was scheduled to be in Southern California two weeks in a row with a four-day break. I decided to head over to palm springs for the long weekend instead of flying Home and turn around and fly right back again. I have heard of the all-male resorts in Palm Springs but I have never experienced them first hand So... More

the fine folks at warm sands villas charged my credit card twice for the same visit. that's an extra $533 dollars! i'm still arguing with them to get that money back. if you like paying double for a hotel, then you'll love this place!

The staff was very helpful. The grounds are very pleasant. The wine and cheese get togethers in the evenings were a great way to meet other guests. I found the hot tub very relaxing. We had a great time.

Our second stay at WSV, we thought the first could not have been better, we were wrong. The setting is serene with great landscaping and magical view of the mountains and a large pool. The staff is outstanding and the owners make sure that customer service is the heart of the resort. Alex and Virgil never hesitated to meet our... More
