My wife and I travel extensively and Desert Isle is one of the nicer time shares we have stayed at. The staff were professional and helpful. The 1 bedroom was large with a fully equipped kitchen, 2 bathrooms one with steam, excellent sized balcony with BBQ, large living room with fire place free wifi and a flat screen TV ( a second in the bedroom) . The rooms were very clean and well appointed and staff are eager to accommodate any needs. There were two pools on site, 3 hot tubs, sauna , tennis courts and bicycles available to rent. The grounds were well maintained and had nice gardens. Free covered parking. Desert Isle was well located, less than 5 miles from the airport, close to attractions like Palm Canyon, Aerial Tramway, downtown Palm Springs. The living Desert is a wonderful attraction about a 20 minute drive away. Manhattan in the Desert is a good restaurant/deli next door. Walgreens is across the street and Ralph's grocery store a 5 minute drive. The Purple room is about a 10 minute drive and the offer nightly shows such as songs from the Rat Pack and Judy Garland and good dining. An in room safe would be a wonderful addition. Desert Isle is Highly Recommended and we would return.

Stayed here 5 days four nights for a quiet long weekend with my boyfriend. Staff was amazing, allowed early check in without hesitating to accommodate our earlier flight in, room was spacious cozy and clean. Full kitchen had all the basic essentials and the Weber grill on the private patio was perfect for an evening grilling in! Grounds were beautiful and well kept. Great location(walking distance to groceries, across the street from Walgreens) and peaceful relaxing atmosphere with the type of other guests who make you feel welcome. For our next trip to Palm Springs we will definitely be back!

This is a great resort as long as you don't need to be in walking distance of downtown Palm Springs. It was very quiet, clean and has two pools and several hot tubs. Even though the pools were small, they were not crowded - usually only one or two other families in each. All the two bedroom units were booked, so I had a king bedroom and sleeper sofa in the living room for my son. He rated the sleeper sofa as pretty good - did not squeak or have a bar in the middle, but mattress was more firm than his preference. It had two bathrooms which was great. Loved having the full kitchen and dining room although the only meal we cooked was breakfast. There is one deli within the resort area that we did not try, and a grocery store and Walgreens also in walking distance. Even though we could tell the building was older, our unit seemed completely refurbished (unit 19). I believe some amenities were still closed due to covid, but the pools and hot tubs were open.

While its a little further out (but many of the hotels are out there on E Palm Canyon Dr), we chose to stay there for the large rooms that offer plenty of space for a family, including separate main bedroom, lounge area and kitchen. There is also a pool and washing facilities were handy.
Overall the gardens and buildings (while older) were in immaculate condition.
However, the room was very dated in design, old 70's brick and mission brown colour scheme, very different to the great building design that Palm Springs is know for.
I selected it for the price & space combination which may still be a good reason but I would choose somewhere more modern next time and in keeping with the many exciting building that make Palm Springs what it is.

We absolutely love this place, and it’s probably one of our favorite places that we’ve ever stayed while traveling. And in looking at a lot of the local resorts and hotels during planning our trip, I felt most of some were not worth the price we were paying for what we were getting. Desert Isle was the only one that seemed like a good value for the money, and a nice place to stay without over paying. When we got here, it was way better than I could have expected! All the rooms are very spacious, immaculately clean, and well decorated. I was very happy to find that we had two bathrooms in our unit, and I believe all the units are the same. We stayed in a one bedroom on the second floor. I was also surprised to find a steam shower in the master bedroom, tons of storage base, and a massive patio with barbecue grills for every unit. Staff was very friendly when we were here as well.
A couple of tips - 1) make sure you’re pretty set on your dates when you book, because it is hard to add on dates without changing the price that you paid initially.
2) we wanted a room close to the pool, on the second floor, with a good view. They gave us exactly what we asked for which was amazing, but since I have never been to Palm Springs before, I didn’t think to ask for a patio area that had afternoon shade. Ours did not, and it made it hard to want to sit on the balcony during the day which is when I like to enjoy the outdoors.
3) There are several rooms that surround the office area, which has a really beautiful water fountain behind it. For convenience reasons and to have a beautiful view, I would probably pick a room near here next time.
4) Coachella and stagecoach both happen in April, which can raise prices in this area significantly. We lucked out and went at the beginning of our spring break in April, and prices were fine. However I found out that Coachella starts the weekend just before we’re leaving, and prices were double or triple in the area.

We were impressed with the lovely condo, but the customer service needs work. We were checked in efficiently and in a friendly manner. Because we declined Ron service for our 3 night stay, we went to the desk and asked if we might have ONE packet of coffee. We were very rudely instructed that coffee us NOT provided to guests! Really!? Note to the staff: Even if you've been instructed to inform guests of this type of cheapness, there's a way to do it, and it's NOT by being rude! We won't be back.

This has been one of the best places I have stayed so far in my travel adventures. The grounds are gorgeous and well maintained, with fresh grapefruit growing on trees. It is directly off a somewhat busy road but you could not even tell, it was quiet and peaceful. The pool is smaller but long enough to swim laps in, my sister and I played tennis everyday we were there, bikes were available for use ( with helmets) at no cost. I am 6ft tall they are just your average tourist cruiser so they are not the best if you are tall but I survived. The rooms are well maintained, clean and spacious, I loved having access to a full kitchen and grill, we grilled out several nights. Chopping knives for food prep were beyond dull and a struggle bus but that is my only complaint. I found the rate to be extremely economical as well. Yes it is not on the main drag but it is only a short drive or bike ride. Would love to stay again.

I needed a change of scenery during the pandemic and decided to take a quick trip to Palm Springs. The Desert Isle was clean, beautiful, quiet, and relaxing. The villa was very large, had a full kitchen, 2 baths, and a ton of closet space. Everything was clean, clean, clean and up to COVID standards. Staff was helpful and having food delivered to the resort was not a problem. I would definitely recommend Desert Isle to my friends and I would definitely stay there again.

First off, I must mention that pictures of this place on many booking engines, etc are out of date as it seems all rooms have been renovated. Our One Bedroom unit was immaculate, definitely renovated in the recent past and everything was neat and clean; matching the unit pictures on their own website. We had a nice patio with table/chairs, lounge chairs, grill, and a gorgeous view of the mountains.
The resort grounds are also beautiful and well maintained. The property itself is nice, quiet, and laid back. We barely saw a few others during our stay and had the pools and hot tubs to ourselves any time we ventured over to them. The location was perfect for us with plenty within close range and right off of Palm Canyon drive for easy access anywhere.
The office staff were all very friendly and they were extremely helpful during check-in. Overall we'd highly recommend this place and would definitely choose to stay here again in the future if we return to Palm Springs.

The unit was on the ground floor near the pool. My group reserved 3 units and we were placed near each other whixh was nice. The unit was nicely appointed with a fully equipped kitchen, two tvs, a patio with chairs, two bathrooms, and a large bedroom with kingsized bed. The sofa made a bed and there was a rollaway bed in the unit as well. The bathrooms looked like they were recently remodeled. There was a very good restaurant near the property where we had lunch. I was very pleased with the facilities.
