Hotels in Palm SpringsA colorful mid-range resort built around a lively pool scene
7.0/10
Come for the pool scene, not polished rooms or dependable housekeeping.
The Saguaro is a colorful mid-range resort, not the polished four-star escape its photos might suggest. It's a good pick for friends who want pool parties, drag brunch and a sociable atmosphere. Recent Expedia guests repeatedly praise the welcoming staff, while Booking.com guests also appreciate the pool and restaurant. The appeal is the setting and energy rather than sophisticated rooms.
The trade-off is upkeep: worn rooms recur across Booking.com, Expedia and Tripadvisor, and cleanliness reports range from spotless to disappointing. Several 2026 Tripadvisor guests describe missed housekeeping; recent Expedia guests flag pool cleanliness too. An October 5, 2026 Expedia review reports both hot tubs switched off, so confirm they're operating if that matters. There's also a nightly amenity fee. We'd skip it for a quiet retreat or if consistent cleaning and fresh interiors are priorities.

Best for: friends on a social weekend; pool-party travelers; fans of drag brunch
Watch out for: worn rooms and inconsistent housekeeping; lively pool-party atmosphere; nightly amenity fee; verify hot-tub availability
Location: On East Palm Canyon Drive; a car is useful for downtown shops and restaurants.
Rooms: Colorful, generally spacious rooms, but dated furnishings and maintenance complaints recur.
Cleanliness: Many guests report clean rooms, but repeated room and pool-cleaning complaints warrant caution.
Service: Friendly staff earn consistent praise; housekeeping delivery and communication are less reliable.
Amenities: Pool, El Jefe restaurant, gym, bikes and drag brunch; both hot tubs reportedly off in early October 2026.
Fees and surprises: Nightly amenity fee includes one car's self-parking; extra cars and pets incur additional charges.
