This was my 2nd time staying with you and it did not disappoint! I feel a world away from the hustle and troubles of real life, if only for a short time. We love having coffee at the pool and the signature scent is so lovely and comforting. I had to buy a candle to bring home and one for a friend too!

I had a great time at the Sands hotel and spa. The rooms were exquisite with many amenities. They had the room stocked up with alcohol and snacks for your convenience. The pool area is excellent with cabanas and lots of seating areas. Hotel has restaurant and bar with many food options. Highly recommend

While the hotel is dated and small, it is a quiet, little place. I would score it higher, but the lighting in the bathroom was pretty poor for putting on makeup and such. The mattress definitely showed major wear making it difficult to sleep without being pulled the middle of the bed by both sides. Other than this, I would recommend this hotel. There are less than fifty rooms, all of which circle the pool which looked very nice and inviting-quiet and tranquil. The staff were super nice and accommodating. There is a restaurant onsite and seemed to be quite popular without being a “party scene”.

No need to leave the premises. Spa services also a great experience it’s a fair and great place to stay that offer great value!

I loved it from the moment I walked in. The cutest hospitality touches like a hand written note welcoming me in. You won’t find this kind of hospitality at any chain hotels. Every staff member I encountered was very friendly and helpful. The food from the restaurant was very delicious. I loved how quiet it was during our weekday stay. It was clean and just absolute perfection. I will definitely be staying here again. 10/10 recommend for your stay.

Hidden gem near Palm Springs

The pool is clean and cool that let me forget the heat of the desert area. The restaurant they have gave me a wonderful dining experience as well. The free bottle of sparkling wine they gave me as the VIP access benefit was great as well! If you are looking for a place to enjoy your day in the property, you should check this place out, and you will not regret!

My experience at the Sands was hands down the best experience I’ve had in Palm Springs. I stayed during the week so my experience was peaceful and the environment was calm and exactly what I wanted for a little getaway. The room was beautiful, looked and felt very very clean, and I felt very safe staying here. Lastly but certainly not least, the amazing staff were so kind, friendly, and made me feel right at home in every space. Truly a perfect experience!
