This was our first trip to Palm Springs. We usually visit Ft Lauderdale 3-4 times a year and have stayed at most of the gay guest houses there. Nothing there even comes close to the Hacienda.
The staff at the Hacienda are simply wonderful. Every single one of them. The owners were just back from a European vacation, but stopped in to host a happy hour. Lovely, non-pretentious people.
The rooms are over the top at this place. We stayed in the smallest courtyard room #5. Great room, but do yourself a favor and spring for the poolside rooms. It’s so worth every penny.
This place pays attention to the little things. Things like extra thick cushioning on the lounge chairs around both pools (touch of luxury). The welcome basket in our room was a nice, unexpected personal touch.
If you need anything at all, just ask. These folks genuinely care about making your stay wonderful. When we checked in, I mentioned that I was training for a marathon and wondered if there were good running areas nearby. Within 3 minutes of being in the room, a staff member had been alerted and printed maps of 6 running trails were delivered. Wow! Again, the little details make this place so wonderful.
The breakfast was adequate and free daily lunch made lounging by the pool all day stress free.
By far, the nicest gay guest house we’ve ever stayed at. We’ll definitely be back!
