Top Notch! Nothing Better!

Every visit to Palm Springs my husband and I stay at Hacienda simply because of the environment, staff, hospitality, and perfection. This was our 4th stay there. Mature guests are the norm and there is still plenty of fun. From arrival to departure it's pure comfort and relaxation. We won't stay anywhere else.

Perfect escape

If you are looking for a relaxing, tranquil vacation it doesn’t get any better than this! From the moment we arrived we felt so welcome. The staff here is incredible. We even were able to stay an extra day and it was hard to leave. Our room! The service and the beautiful pool to swim and relax in, a great breakfast buffet and a menu to choose from for lunch served in your room or by the pool. I can’t wait to return. I never write reviews but the Hacienda is worth the small amount of time it took to write this.

Perfection in Palm Springs

We recently spent five nights at the Hacienda at Warm Sands. Unfortunately for us this was way not enough time. If we had any idea how great this place was we would have doubled our time. The level of service and the attention to detail exceeded our expectations. When you walk through the gate you are in a relaxing and beautiful space. The room was immaculate, bed was comfortable and housekeeping was done daily. Two pools for ten rooms assures that a perfect lounge chair is always available. Not only was a delicious breakfast included, but also lunch. You are given an order form the night before with many selections of sandwiches, salads and wraps to choose from. Michael was great and anticipated our every need in advance. The only challenge now is to determine a time to go back.

Loved the Privacy & Bespoke Service

We stayed here during the new year and it was such a comfortable experience. The team were always around when you needed them and made the personal touches (like, nutcrackers fro Xmas, champagne for New Years) and knowing our daily routine and eating schedules (and special diet) was extraordinary. We really appreciated free parking, breakfast and lunch being included in the price. As well, there were L'Occitane products in the bathroom, fresh fluffy towels every day. Pool towels were always available poolside, too. I think what's really made the extra touch is that the designers really thought of everything-- including tall shower heads for tall men, free washer/dryer for long distance travelers like us (from Hong Kong), free filtered water, ice machines, great library and games. The other clientele were really warm and welcoming, too. As a gay resort, it was the perfect balance of calm, fun, kitsch (poolside), rest, sunshine and camaraderie. The owners also threw a welcome cocktail hour mid-week to personally welcome everyone. The privacy is perfect, located in the quiet Warm Sands neighborhood. Fresh flowers, bougainvillea and bright, clear blue skies. A great way to welcome the new year. We loved it so much, we even tried to book [...]

Amazing property

Partner and I thoroughly enjoyed our time at Hacienda. Attentive staff and great facilities. Breakfast and lunch were a nice addition. Staff was very helpful with local recommendations. Would highly recommend and would gladly return next time we visit Palm Springs!

Best resort in Palm Springs!

I stayed for 5 days and wish I'd stayed longer! The staff are amazing esp Michael who made me feel really welcome from the second I checked in. The facility's are amazing, the choice of two heated pools in landscaped grounds and a really warm outside hot tub that is available 24/7. I chose the non clothing option to sit and tan, but at no time i was i ever uncomfortable and neither is it if you stay clothed. The resort only has 10 rooms, but that allows for the quality of service with their fantastic staff. The rooms are fantastic, (apartment sized almost), with every high quality amenity. So many toiletries by L'Occitane - that alone is worth the price! Great shower, a pillow menu and the beds are just right for two active people!!!! I would really recommend every gay guy give this place a visit - just not on the days im trying to book! 🙂 Can not say enough of this place.

Escape to Paradise

This all suite hotel located in the Warm Sands area of Palm Springs provides luxurious accommodations with comfortable beds, plush linens, sparkling pools and, above all, a welcoming warm environment for rest and play. Two pools allow for space to relax and watch the sun play on the mountains. Breakfast and lunch are provided and both are varied and amazing. The owners and staff anticipate your every need and create a relaxing atmosphere where guests can unwind in a friendly atmosphere. It is a place to return to time and time again.

Perfect place to relax in the sun

This was our third stay at the Hacienda, and it was wonderful as always. Everything you need is there, including breakfast and lunch, with options that are both tasty and healthy. The staff are all so welcoming and attentive. I love the pools and hot tubs. The comfortable beds are one reason I keep coming back. (I don't sleep well on the overly soft beds at other places I've tried in PS). Our time there was the perfect antidote to the cold, dark Northwest winter.

Like staying with family

We stayed at the Hacienda for the first time and it definitely won’t be the last! The property is exceptional with an extremely warm and welcoming staff. We felt like we were staying with family. As frequent travelers for many years, we can honestly say that this property stands out as one of the finest. We are already planning our next visit to Hacienda.

Hacienda 2018

Once again the Hacienda has exceeded our expectations. The service by the staff is perfect - not overbearing but attentive. The facility is well maintained and calming. I think most of all, the Hacienda attracts the clientele who is respectful to other visitors which provides a relaxing by environment. Steve, Michael and Louis took great care of us! This was our 4th visit and are planning our trip for 2019! Marco & Stan For more information, contact The Hacienda From Within US: 1-760-327-8111 From Outside US: 01-760-327-8111 www.thehacienda.com

Even better the 2nd Stay!

Reviewed 02/16 after initial stay. Returned 2 years later and even better this time. We stayed in the Jr Suite again to save a few $. Everyone on the staff is super helpful and attentive - thanks, Michael. Throw pillows on the bed embroidered with our first names. Catered lunch as well as breakfast so you don't have to leave the property from the time you wake up until it's time for supper. Feel so comfortable here - total relaxation, they think of everything. Don't stay anywhere else! James & Rob For more information, contact The Hacienda From Within US: 1-760-327-8111 From Outside US: 01-760-327-8111 www.thehacienda.com

Even Better the Second Time

My partner and I stayed three nights at the Hacienda, returning for a second time in the last few years. What a great property that seems to have gotten even better the second time. Everyone on the staff is so pleasant and accommodating. Need something? Just ask and it's done! Our sole regret is that we didn't spend a few more days enjoying the spotless facilities, great bed, and prime location. We couldn't imagine staying anywhere else in Palm Springs.

Can’t get better than this place

We just returned from another trip to beautiful Palm Springs. The Hacienda is top notch. Attention to detail, friendly, clean, elegant and delightful. My partner and I had returned after three years from our first trip to the Hacienda. Upon arrival we found our names embroidered on pillows on our bed! The breakfast is simple but filling and the lunch which you order the night before is some of the best sandwiches and salads we had in any restaurant during our stay!

The Best

There just is not a better gay guesthouse in the US. The staff is terrific and take care of you and the place. I feel so comfortable there. Wish I could live there! Centrally located. Nice well appointed rooms. With a lot of amenities. Robert For more information, contact The Hacienda From Within US: 1-760-327-8111 From Outside US: 01-760-327-8111 www.thehacienda.com

Remarkable stay

Elegant quiet yet relaxed surroundings. Staff was remarkable and intuitive, kudos, Michael! This isn't a typical warm sands playcation but feels as if you're a special guest in someone's dream home. A must stay!! Mark & Joseph For more information, contact The Hacienda From Within US: 1-760-327-8111 From Outside US: 01-760-327-8111 www.thehacienda.com

The best of Palm Springs

My partner and I try to stay here at least one time a year, hopefully more often on a good year! The Hacienda is clearly the best of the gay resorts (probably all of the resorts!) in Palm Springs. All of the reviews you see here are spot on - top level amenities, privacy, comfort, and immaculate and beautiful accommodations. They offer room categories to fit different budgets and needs. It's in an awesome location, within walking to the major sights, restaurants, bars, or a short cab ride away!

5 Star Rating is Soooooo Deserved!!

My husband and I are fortunate to be able to travel often and to be able to stay in 1st class hotels/resorts. Besides P-town, we have not had great success staying in upscale gay resorts/hotels. In January we decided to book a 1 week relaxing getaway to Palm Springs. After seeing The Hacienda's website, we thought it was probably to good to be true but decided we would take a chance and stay there instead of the Ritz Carlton. The minute we walked into the gated compound, we knew we made a great choice. From being offered a glass a wine at check-in to seeing our beautifully decorated and spacious suite overlooking the pool and mountain range - we couldn't have been more pleased. The amazing breakfast delivered daily to our room and delicious lunches served poolside are just another example of how special this resort is. We were so impressed with the customer service the entire Hacienda's team gave us during our stay. They truly care about their guest and the resorts reputation. The resort is so special that we cancelled our plans to visit LA because we didn't want to miss out on a single day at the resort. We also [...]

Brilliant

We decided to return to Palm Springs after a gap of 10 years. How things have changed. We stayed at The Hacienda for 5 nights in a Grand Deluxe Suite (6) and loved every minute of it. This is such a friendly relaxed place with immaculate accommodation and an attention to detail that surpasses most places. A huge thanks to Steve, Michael and Luis who all made our stay so enjoyable. The breakfast was great and we loved the light lunches. It gave us time to chill by the pool which we did every day. We walked into Palm Springs every day for our restaurant bookings and walked back after a few drinks in one of the many bars. We loved being able to walk everywhere - the hire car didn’t move at all! We were sad to leave and totally understand why so many guys return year after year. Thank you.

Thirds restorative visit

This is the third time I’ve stayed here. The staff is warm and attentive without being over bearing. The grounds are extremely well maintained and immaculate. I always sleep well and feel rested when I leave. This place is a gem - a gay clothing optional hotel managed to Swiss standards. It’s my favorite go to. Always book a suite - it’s worth it.

Vacation

This was a perfect get away! I planned a surprise 50th birthday vacation for my husband and the staff went above and beyond what I expected to make it truly special with daily surprises for him .The resort is gorgeous and the attention to detail on everything is nothing but amazing! The staff is second to none! I would highly recommend Hacienda suites if you are traveling to Palm Springs. We will definitely be back...it will be tough to top this one!!
