| Another great stay at the resort. Everything was the typical great quality. Only improvement would be to clean the pool overnight. In the morning it was pretty dirty....

| One of Marriotts best. The place to stay in the Palm Springs area. Numerous things to do and all within a short drive, unless you just want to relax around one of their several pools. Staff could not have been nicer. Starbucks in the lobby! Who could ask for more?

| Me and ten of my girlfriends chose the JW for our spa get-away. And we weren't let down. The spa was very relaxing and fun. We went early to use all of the spa amenities...like the steam room, sauna, hot & cold soaking tubs and the fruit & beverages they served. Our favorite spa touch was the frozen tea-tree oil wash clothes they give you after your steam. Nice. The pool(s) were a lot of fun as well. Each one offered a different scene. The lobby was absolutely breath taking. The exotoic birds gave the hotel that "I'm really on vacation" feeling.

| Wonderful stay, at a prime location. Front desk and concierge we found to be very helpful. All the dinning areas are first class with great food to satisfy all tastes. Easy drive to San Diego, or LA. Convenient shopping area just outside the grounds for any items you might need, or wish to have in the room. City of Palm Desert, and other attractions are very close. We had a great time, and will go back again in the future.
