    This place was fantastic, it was clean, comfortable and inviting. There were 8 rooms booked for our group, we all had a great time. The staff were great - but especially after we checked out and were no longer paying customers. From storing our bags and being flexible with us going shopping and adding to our stored luggage, to going above and beyond and calling multiple people/ companies when our transport did not show up and 5 of us were stuck in a situation where we had no way from Palm Springs to LAX. We were stressed - she made us calm and she also found a reasonable solution in a reasonable time

    We did not stay here, which I why I have not reviewed the rooms. Instead, we went to the Drag Brunch yesterday (we're senior citizen tourists from Chicago). The show was ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC! We loved, loved, loved it. The queens were all gorgeous, funny, and oh-so- talented. The music was great - caused us to get up and dance. You did not have to be fabulous yourself (we were there for my 71st birthday and my husband is pushing 80). They were fabulous! The crowd was mixed - quite a few bridal parties. Also some people out for birthdays - both groups and couples. Some were gay. Others, like us, were straight. Everyone had a great time. I highly recommend going to the Queen Brunch at the Saguaro Palm Springs! So much fun and laughter!

    Chipotle salsa was delish on my flavored scrambled eggs light and fluffy with secret ingredients. Last night the restaurant closed early so manager Liz complimented us with guacamole salsa chips and a couple drinks to make us feel better. The chips were crispy fresh and the guacamole tasted superior. The salsa was unique their own recipe. I can only imagine how good dinner would’ve been. We swam in the pool late at night and you could not hear a pin drop. Our room was spotless and the sheets were squeaky clean. The room was perfect temperature. The patio area to our room is tucked in for privacy with natural hedges honeysuckle landscaping. Well done.

    The first time we came to The Saguaro back in 2022 it was a great experience, this time not so much. Our room smelled bad from the moment we walked In. It looked like it needed some upgrades, the table had big pieces of wood chipping and there was some writing on the table. We were very excited about the pool but it was so disgusting, it looked like it hadn’t been cleaned in a while with green foam floating around. The music the Dj was playing was extremely boring, if you’re thinking this will be a Vegas pool like party you’re wrong, we waited to see if it would get better but it didn’t so we left … very disappointing experience.

    I booked a day pass through the Resort Pass app. The confirmation stated that check-in for day guests would be at the pool area (Friday–Sunday), so when I arrived, I went straight there. However, there was no check-in desk, the gate was unlocked, and no one asked for ID. Honestly, it seemed like anyone could walk in without paying, which already gave me “3-star hotel” vibes. The lobby looked well-kept, but I can’t comment on the rooms since I only visited for the day. Pool & Atmosphere: The pool area was lively, with a DJ playing from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Initially, I was excited about the idea of a “pool party,” but it wasn’t what I had expected. No one was dancing, the music wasn’t great, and it disrupted the relaxing Palm Springs vibe (felt more like a Vegas pool scene, but without the energy). Crowd & Staff: The overall vibe felt casual and rough around the edges. If you’re not comfortable around lots of tattoos, piercings, or a bachelor-party type of crowd, this may not be the place for you. For a more polished, upscale pool experience, I’d recommend Paseo Hotel in Palm Desert—I’ve been there before, and the atmosphere was much nicer. Parking: Plenty of complimentary self-parking. Bathrooms: Could use more attention—paper on the floor and the sink wasn’t very clean. Pool: Large, but not the cleanest. Service: Unless you book a daybed, don’t expect servers to approach you. You’ll need to line up at the bar yourself. Towels: Although Resort Pass says towels aren’t provided, there were actually plenty available. Overall, it’s an average spot if you want a lively pool scene and don’t mind the drawbacks, but it definitely doesn’t deliver the classic Palm Springs experience.
