Beautiful resort! It was a whole vibe! Spent a girls weekend trip for my birthday here and we would all do it again! The only complaint I have was we had two rooms and both the fridges did not cool well, my drinks were warm after a day in the fridge, so had to put in ice. Besides that, staff, room, restaurant, and pool was all great!

This was nice plac We had a wonderful stay at this adults-only hotel. It was peaceful, quiet, and the perfect place to relax. I enjoyed an amazing massage, spent time unwinding by the pool, and received excellent poolside service with prompt drink orders.
The Pink Cabana restaurant had a great atmosphere, and the food was delicious. Throughout our stay, the staff was friendly, attentive, and made us feel well taken care of. We would definitely stay here again!

Staff were welcoming and went out of their way to be helpful! We had a hand written welcome card with a bottle of champagne waiting for us. We didn’t have to ask to be helped deliver our luggage to the room. The complimentary coffee service by the poolside was a great way to start the morning. Especially loved the adults only atmosphere for a couple of moms trying a ladies getaway. Love the vibe and smaller boutique experience. Would love to try the spa next visit. We would stay again!

A hidden gem in Indian Wells! This hotel is beautifully designed, peaceful, and definitely not a party hotel. It has such a calm, relaxing energy 😌 perfect for unplugging and recharging. Every time I stay here, I sleep like a baby. The bedding and pillows are incredibly comfortable, and the staff is always warm and helpful. My only wish is that they had more EV charging stations, as there is currently only one available. Otherwise, it’s a wonderful stay that I highly recommend.

This place is gorgeous! Everything was beautifully designed and well thought-out. I appreciated the nice smelling diptyque toiletries and the cute bar in the room. I particularly liked how the accessibility features (grip bar, shower stool) were thoughtfully integrated and beautiful, rather than being an afterthought. The bed was also super cozy and the room smelled great! The staff was so kind and helpful. We really enjoyed our stay and hope to come back one day.

The hotel has so much charm, the rooms were spotless, and the entire property feels peaceful and luxurious without being over the top. The staff was wonderful, and we left wishing we had booked another night. We loved it so much that we're already returning again this month. We can't wait to be back! ✨

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I’m writing this review almost 2 months later, but let me tell you — my stay here was absolutely fantastic. I’m terrible at remembering to leave reviews, but this place truly deserved one.

There was a lovely woman with a beautiful Southern accent at the front desk who I believe was the manager, and she was an absolute gem. She made our stay feel so welcoming from the moment we arrived.

Every amenity was thoughtful and elevated — from the free sunscreen and complimentary Moroccan mint iced tea by the pool to the amazing cocktails and overall atmosphere. Everything about this hotel felt luxurious, relaxing, and genuinely well cared for.

The rooms were absolutely gorgeous, and honestly, this was one of the best hotel bathrooms I’ve ever had. The huge soaking tub was incredible, and I absolutely loved the entire stay. It felt relaxing, upscale, and comfortable all at the same time.

It was also truly dog-friendly, not just “technically” pet friendly. My dog was welcomed so warmly, and that meant so much to me.

I absolutely loved every moment of my stay. This hotel is a gem, and I cannot wait to be back.

Love this place. A cool piece of retro in an otherwise boring part of the desert. The vibe is very Rat Pack and the pool is great. The restaurant is usually very good, but has its off moments. Great for couples, great for solo, probably not great for families with kids under 15

The property is located in a good area, its clean and the room size was decent, the bed was comfy.
The cons :
For the price we paid the service was as good as a 200$ per night hotel not 1200$ per night.
There was basically no service, we took care of our luggage ( taking it up and down from stairs ), the reception and room service didnt answer the phone most of the time, the only amenity the hotel has its a normal pool without any special services, they didnt even recharge the waters in the room !

Overall this hotel was missing something. We had to ask for help with our bags when we clearly had a lot. We didn’t have slippers in our room but when we called for them they only brought one pair and were annoyed about it. The lighting is far too dark to do make up, even in the middle of the day. The pool is lovely and the beds are comfy although they are all packed in pretty close together. There’s no room service and you can’t even get some milk once the restaurant is closed. The spa was excellent. I had a very good massage with Elizabeth.

I wouldn’t stay again, our room backed right on to the main road. Not great for almost £1,000 a night.

It’s a very clean and pretty hotel and the restaurant was excellent although it had a limited menu.

When I’m in Palm Desert, this is where I go. I don’t ever want to go anywhere else. It’s a cute boutique hotel with an amazing restaurant. Pillow and sheets are high end. Bath amenities are from Diptique. I mean, C’mon! Parking is so easy. And Indian Wells is quiet. Downside, the pool had some insects. I guess it’s because it’s almost summer. The Jacuzzi had strong bubble and hot hot. You’ll love it here

There is no elevator to the upper rooms which was somewhat inconvenient. The bathroom has very poor lighting. For over $800 per night, there should be an included breakfast.

We love the Sands Resort! It's very small and private. The pool area is so nice with plenty of lounge chairs and large double lounge chairs with thick cushions and umbrellas (if needed). The staff is helpful and friendly. The Pink Cabana Restaurant is on the premises and The Nest Restaurant and Baby's Marche sandwich shop are within walking distance.

The rooms were clean and dated but lovely. The outside patio faced 111 but the dripping fountain drowned out the auto noise. The entire staff was pleasant and very helpful. The accompanying pink cabana restaurant had a wonderful dinner and breakfast. The hotel was in walking distance to local shops and restaurants. The bed was very comfortable, and the room was very clean

I can't say enough good things about our stay. The rooms were stylish, well appointed, and very clean. The restaurant had delicious healthy food, good drinks, and mocktails. The members of the staff were all very helpful and friendly, particularly Jennifer, who jumped through hoops to extend our stay when the hotel was nearly booked up. We really appreciate this place, and we hope to return soon!

First of all, if you are booking with kids, I do not recommend this hotel. I was fortunate that my daughter turned 18 on the exact day we checked in, otherwise we would have been forced to look for another hotel immediately.

Second, as a photography enthusiast, I brought my professional camera, which I had just purchased specifically for this trip. While taking photos in the restaurant, we were asked to stop using flash. I completely understood and politely complied. We were then told that using the camera around the pool was okay, so we proceeded there. However, we were called out again and told that professional cameras are not allowed at all, even for personal use.

I explained that the photos were strictly for personal memories—just me and my daughter. If professional cameras are not allowed anywhere on the property, this should be clearly communicated at check-in or posted with visible signage. Being repeatedly approached felt uncomfortable and unnecessary, almost as if we were being ambushed for simply taking personal photos.

Lastly, the surroundings of the property need improvement. The area looked unorganized, and the landscaping could really benefit from better planning and nicer plants. With more attention to detail, the atmosphere could be much more appealing.

Overall, this stay did not meet expectations, especially considering the lack of clear policies, inconsistent treatment, and overall experience.

Very cute place, be prepared though they charge for parking everyday and the have plenty of parking no valet because its not necessary. Parking right at the entrance. 42.00 dollars a day which i think is really steep. Just a way to make money!

Sorry I hate to complain but I’m mentioning these things so the hotel can improve. I did enjoy my stay overall and the staff was great. Great place to stay if you’re a couple or plan on using the amenities. I got sucked in by the low price and good reviews but once I arrived the cost rose significantly. $42 a day resort fee for what? Free coffee in the morning? Nobody uses the pool in December why are you charging an extra fee? Just include it in the nightly cost instead of charging on arrival. I’m so over hotels doing that bait and switch. Customers need to stop getting used to this and start voicing your displeasure in the practice. Make it optional or get rid of it all together. You’re not providing any extra service to justify $42 extra per night especially this time of year.

Also my room faced the busy Main Street making the patio not useable due to how loud it was all day and night with cars driving by. The room itself though is extremely quiet from outside noise due to the double sliding doors they installed to block the noise from coming inside.

Air conditioner in room 26 needs maintenance. It’s extremely loud while it’s running. And I’m not sure if you can do much about the floor being very squeaky as you walk near the bed but not really a big deal.

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!
