Beautiful facility, terrible service.
Beautiful facility, terrible service. Staff inconsiderate (Ashley Galvan and Elsa). We have stayed at numerous top notch hotels through the world and never received worse service than from here. Sad because it’s a beautiful location, but the staff ruined our trip.

The pictures at Hotels.com perfectly matched the hotel property. The landscape around the bungalows is beautiful and the views of the sunrise and sunsets were spectacular. At night, it is so quiet and it made for an amazing place to stay. The bungalow was clean, the mid-century design and comfortable furnishings made our two night stay amazing.

The location was spectacular overlooking the desert with the mountains in the background. The room was good, the bed was comfortable and the kitchenette area worked well. We could sit at the table in the room or on the back patio with a spectacular view. We didn't realize that the Bungalows was a part of a retreat area, but being in the middle of the summer, the other facilities were not in use, such as the cafe. Many of the buildings were designed by Lloyd Wright and all of the fell into the midcentury modern mode.

Friend and I stayed here one night in August to go to a nearby stargazing tour in Joshua Tree. The location was perfect; a short drive to where we needed to be. Room wise, this place was great! Clean, comfy, and modern. The beds and pillows were super comfy and loved the floor to ceiling windows to look out. The bungalows are in a place away from the rest of the retreat but easy to find if you follow the signs. At night there are lights to drive around the property. It's a short 5 min. walk to the pool area, which was refreshing given how hot it gets. However there are no umbrellas and very little shade. We only got to use the pool for an hour since check in was 3 pm and we needed to go to dinner at 6. No TV in the room which was fine; a/c worked great and was cooling. Shower and bathroom facilities were also nice and having a kitchenette was good but we didn't need. Overall comfy and relaxing stay for one night. They email/text you the code to get into the property two hours before check in. We didn't download or need to use the app they recommend to check in. Bungalow came with a parking spot. Would definitely stay again if in the area!

Amazing property! Definitely exceeded my expectations. We stayed in the Deluxe studio and it provided enough space for a weekend stay with everything we needed. The large windows and private outdoor seating area make for a great place to watch the sunrise and the sunset! Will definitely be back 😊

The Zen of it All
A beautiful bungalow that has been lovingly renovated and curated with the most comfortable furnishings and equipped with everything you need. The desert views are stunning by day and the star gazing is magnificent at night. A truly magical place to rejuvenate mind and body. We will definitely be back.

8/10 Very good

The bungalow itself was nice and cozy, desert mid century. I didn't realize there wasn't a TV but it ended up being better that way. We had some wine and sat on the back patio looking out into the desert, looking at the stars. The property is interesting, and if you've never been to a desert town like Joshua Tree it might spook you. I didn't know the history of the retreat property until we got there and read up on it. Some of the buildings are closed but will be really cool if/when they get renovated. The only thing I think could be improved is making sure someone checks the grounds/does more regular upkeep. We went on a walk around 1030 pm, and by the pool there was a woman's hat with freshly picked flowers tucked in the brim, and about 3 feet away was a pair of women's underwear. Kind of felt like a crime scene but hopefully just evidence of someone having a fun night. Also, there is a spot on the property with an older outdoor bookshelf. The books aren't in good condition which is fine, but on the ground next to it there was a discarded, old looking duffel bag with male clothes in it. It looked very weathered like it had been there a while. Again, felt a little spooky but it's Joshua Tree and spooky is part of the vibe. Otherwise we had a great time! lol
