Santiago Resort - Palm Springs Premier Gay Men’s Resort

From the minute I called to make reservation, KENT took care of everything, first time in Santiago, won't stay anywhere else. The place is 5 🌟. The breakfast and lunch "included"is delicious 😋. Pool, lounge chairs clean and comfy!! Kent and staff very accommodating. Can't say enough about Santiago! Thank you 😊 ❤️

Stayed here with 16 of our friends for my husbands 40th birthday this past week for 4 nights. STAY HERE, it's amazing! Beautiful rooms, ALL the staff is beyond friendly. Pool grounds are perfect, you get breakfast and DELICIOUS lunch everyday. We all agreed that our expectations were blown away and will all be returning here. Many other hotel guest said its difficult to get room here so book early. Enjoy and thank your Kent, Robert the rest of the crew, we appreciate how special you made the week.

I stayed at resort for a few days at the beginning and end of a multi-week road trip though California. I was impressed from the start. A lot of the hotels have outdated photos and do not represent what they currently look like but this is not the case here. The resort is just as beautiful, if not more. The staff and fellow guests were all friendly and welcoming. There is such a calm, peaceful environment to relax away from the world. I would stay here again and have already recommended this resort to friends!

Very nice hotel, very well kept, rooms are spacious and very clean. Staff was amazing. The level of service was very high even before arriving to the property. Check-in was seamless, quick and efficient. The breakfast service was very good considering the size of the hotel, and lunch was also very good. Definitively will come back to this property and kudos to the staff, it really makes the difference.

Great property with friendly staff

We just got back from a wonderful three nights at the Santiago resort. It was our first time here and we had just stayed for three nights at their sister property, the Descanso (please see my review of this equally great property) As with their other hotels, the communications were frequent and easy with the resort. If you need anything you can just text the front desk and they will take care of whatever you need. Because we were staying at the resort during the thanksgiving holiday, the precompiled list of area restaurants was sent out in advance with special notes about Thanksgiving dinner. I can't tell you how much I appreciate this. It made booking a reservation so much easier because I really didn't have to do anything except select a restaurant that sounded good to me. I would like to add a special shout out to Kent, the manager, who greeted us when we arrived and could not have been more professional and friendly. He even grabbed my bag and walked it to our room which turned out to be an upgraded suite! He even gave us a little tour and throughout our stay, Kent was full of excellent advice. Much like their sister property, pretty much everything has been planned for including daily breakfast and lunch which can be either sandwiches or salads from two different local vendors and they're brought in every day. All you need to do is send a text in the morning with your lunch order, you don’t even need to leave your lounger at the pool! Oh yes, the loungers are plush and premium, you can easily nap bc they are so comfortable. I forgot sunblock and I asked at the front desk. I was given a complimentary brand-new bottle. They really think of everything! Speaking of the pool, it was fantastic! They keep the pool at a nice 90° temperature which was perfect. When we visited as it was mid 70s but it could be a little cool when you got out into the open air, but there were pool towels in abundance and the provided robes were very comfortable. The large hot tub and the two outdoor showers were pure bliss. At night it was a little chilly so you could easily go sit at the fire pit complete with many chairs and even little blankets laid out for you. It was a great place to meet other guests staying at the resort. The Santiago has a beautiful layout with gorgeous views of the mountain framed by the beautiful grounds and palm trees. At night you can see so many stars, this is really a quiet slice of paradise in the desert. Location is great and like everything else in Palm Springs, if it’s too far to walk, then a quick Uber will get you there. The Tool Shed was quick walk and we had a great time at Tuesday night bingo with the new friends we made in the pool. As I mentioned in my other review, the Santiago seemed more social as the property is a little larger. Many of the guys that we met had stayed at one or both sister resorts. Each property has its own design and unique personality. One thing we noticed, and the frequent guests confirmed, is that reg
