JW Marriott Desert Springs Resort & Spa

Generously sized room. Stayed at main tower, which can be noisy because the doors face internally and the lobby bar noise carries even if windows face a quieter area of the resort. Lovely bathrobe but no slippers. There is a shower stall and a soaking tub in the bathroom. Beds were very comfortable. I was there for a conference so didn't get to take advantage of all of the amenities, but did enjoy a few hours at the spa (bought a day pass on resortpass.com, but looked like others bought at the front desk). The resort fees include some golf amenities that I couldn't use, and the group fitness classes I was excited about were mostly on the weekend or a Monday, before I'd arrived. Wish the spa had a cold plunge -- there is a sauna, two steam rooms (one hotter), hot tub, large outdoor pool, and many relaxation areas including those with massage chairs. I wish there was a no talking rule because it wasn't altogether relaxing listening to people talk rather loudly. Gym is very large with many peloton bikes and a large weight machine/free weight area. Didn't feel crowded even though there were lots of people inside. The food was really good but, as you can imagine for a resort, the in-room dining prices were pretty astronomical. It seemed like the resort was pretty short-staffed -- dinner took nearly an hour to arrive and my room wasn't cleaned even though I was gone from noon-5pm. There are a few shops on the resort selling various touristy clothing and items, but I couldn't find a convenience store selling toiletries/snacks. Overall, a perfectly fine resort but maybe I expected more given the JW Marriott name.

Just got back from an incredible weekend getaway at the JW Marriott in Palm Desert, and I’m already itching to go back! This place is totally amazing. The facility is stunning—super clean, modern, and just has that luxe vibe without feeling stuffy. The staff? Everyone was so friendly and on top of things, making the whole stay seamless and relaxing. The highlight for us was the gorgeous lake right outside the hotel. It’s connected to the property, and you can hop on a boat ride that starts inside the lobby—how cool is that? We took the boat at sunset, and let me tell you, the views were unreal. The sky was all pinks and purples, reflecting on the water. Total magic. Food-wise, the hotel’s got some solid options. We loved Rockwood Grill—highly recommend grabbing a table there for dinner. The sunset views are next-level, and you get to watch the swans gliding by on the lake. It’s the kind of spot that makes you want to linger with a glass of wine. Honestly, this place nailed it for a quick escape from LA. It’s the perfect mix of chill and fancy, and we’re already planning our next trip. If you’re looking for a spot to unwind with great service and killer views, this is it!

This resort was amazing the pools are great the beds are comfortable the staff were super polite the two golf courses are well maintained. But the hotel is large and the area we stayed was challenging to get to the lobby. But i would go back here again.

Was in town for stage coach, these rooms go to 1k a night. I have stayed at motel 6 with better service. Room was clean to start, requested service on day 2 for more towels and a room clean… nothing happened. Requested again on the second day and they finally came. Ridiculous for a 1k a night hotel. Hire the staff and pay them, you are making plenty of money… end of rant.

I was here with my husband who was here for a guys’ golf trip while I hung out with a girlfriend. The pool and spa are very nice. This is a very nice hotel. Usual Marriott; standard quality. It is in a good location in Palm Desert. I would recommend staying here.
