    It is an intimate boutique hotel. I lived the fire pit, salt water pool, hot tub, breakfasts and lunches, and the next-level friendly staff.

    I liked everything.

    Facilities and staff were exceptional. Staff were attentive to the needs of the clients. Plus, facility is well maintained.

    Breakfast eggs were not the same. Texture and peeling the eggs were off. Found out the eggs were air fryed than steamed. Oh well, this does not detract from the fact that the place is exceptional.

    10MartinPosted on: 4-29-2025

    The resort is very chilled and all staff and other guests were friendly and welcoming. The pool area was great as was the free breakfasts and lunch. I’ve stayed in quite a few gay resorts and this is the best one so far in terms of finish and presentation.

    Would be great to have a small gym and the ability to buy occasional drinks around the pool, but otherwise all great.

    10DillonPosted on: 4-19-2025

    The facilities were kept clean, the staff were attentive, the food was great, and the atmosphere was relaxing. We didn’t really want to leave the resort during the stay and enjoyed our trip.

    10DarinPosted on: 3-5-2025

    This modern yet cozy boutique men's resort is such a gem with many amenities like breakfast, lunch, coffee/water/sodas, and they even host a wine happy hour on Thursday/Friday/Saturday from 4:00 - 6:00 p.m. This resort has so many small touches, making it an incredible location to relax and be yourself. The staff are just incredible! They are friendly, get to know you, and truly enjoy serving their guests. They keep the resort immaculate and ensure there are towels at the pool, the "Cantina" which has complimentary coffee, water, and sodas, is stocked, and they keep cookies there throughout the day. The pool is heated and there are heaters on the patio for outdoor seating. There is also a fire pit which was great for hanging out at night in the crisp Palm Springs air. I will definitely be back! I love that if you want to be solo and relax, you can. But if you want to be social, this is a great place to meet others. *Note - this is a men's resort, and the common areas are clothing optional. Everyone from the staff to fellow guests were kind and respectful regardless of which "option" people chose.

    I honestly can't think of any improvements for this property!

    Seemed brand new, even though 3 years old (still new;)Attentive and friendly staff, well appointed, gratis breakfast and lunch…didn’t need to leave poolside!

    …had to go home!

    AMAZING Staff and customer service. We were greeted at the door and received a tour. Staff was so friendly and accommodating. Such a relaxing space

    10JordanPosted on: 6-1-2024

    Everything was just 10/10 - the service, the facilities, the staff , the lunches and breakfast - so clean and the rooms amazing

    We liked everything!

    10JonnyPosted on: 5-12-2024

    Everything! Amazing property with an amazing team! Pool was divine and free lunch was fab! A great place to meet gay travellers too.

    Nothing - it’s amazing! Just book.

    10NimrodPosted on: 2-4-2024

    Kent the manager and Maxwell the assistant manager and basically everyone on that team is awesome, made us feel at home and take an old school approach to hospitality that is rare and so needed. We'll come back again!

    9Mickymse.geoPosted on: 2-4-2024

    What a wonderful place for a getaway in the sun! Continental breakfast available by the pool in the morning, and an option to order a box lunch for delivery if you're going to lounge around for the day. Close enough to downtown to walk if that suits you. Beautiful pool, hot tub, and firepit area. And the opportunity to freely be in some gay adult space was welcome. What more could you ask for when you need to escape a busy life or a cold grey winter for sun and palm trees?

    10KhaledPosted on: 1-11-2024

    The people who who works there… manage the resort friendly, professional and smiling all the time. Thanks to Kent,Jeff and Maxwell

    Nothing …

    10RyanPosted on: 1-9-2024

    Overall, one of the best stays I have had in a long time. When the staff knows your name, asks questions that aren't intruding but overall helpful, and then has capacity to follow up and ask you again to make sure your visit is wonderful - 5 star service! The entire experience from check-in to check-out couldn't have gone better. It is a wonderful value for such an exclusive experience as well.

    8MarcPosted on: 8-14-2023

    Very friendly, clean, nice.

    We were at the 1st floor and the room was noisy because of people at the second floor, even a light walk was hearable on our floor.

    10LuchezarPosted on: 9-22-2022

    The hotel is amazing, clean, renovated, all excellently kept up. The staff is beyond amazing and friendly. They provide you with additional services all day long at no expense and try to make sure you feel as amazing as possible! Free parking available, AC amazing, room was amazing big and just wow.

    Literally nothing to complain about!

    Small, intimate property full of beautiful, lush greenery.

    I can’t even think of something bad to say. We loved it!
