Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities
The hotel is lovely and it was a comfortable, quiet place to stay. The parking lot could use better lighting as it is incredibly dark if you are arriving in the evening. Unfortunately I cannot give this place a high rating as they are not transparent with their pricing as required by California law. I’ve read through the details on Expedia, and the receipt I received when I booked the hotel, and there is no mention of a $47 resort fee. Telling guests about the fee upon check-in, when it is too late to cancel, is the exact bait-and-switch scenario for which the law was created. The hotel is not a resort and the fee is exorbitant. This soured my impression of the hotel and my stay.

I’ve stayed at the Sands Hotel twice, and if they offered long-term stays, I’d seriously consider moving in. It’s like someone built a “Desert Chic Dream” Pinterest board and turned it into reality—with zero pretentiousness. The moment you walk in, it smells amazing, looks like a design magazine, and feels like the kind of calm your therapist keeps talking about. The rooms are effortlessly stylish—moody, inviting, and so well-designed you’ll question your own taste. The beds are ridiculously comfortable, and the bathrooms make you want to soak and rethink your entire life. But what truly sets Sands apart? The staff. Warm, real, and intuitive. They don’t give you fake hospitality, they see you, and it shows in every small moment. And the pool? Easily one of the best vibes I’ve ever felt. If reincarnation is real, I want to come back as a pool towel here. Bottom line: I’ve stayed twice, and both times I left emotionally damaged from having to go back to reality. If you’re even thinking about staying here—do it. Just be warned: every other hotel will disappoint you forever after.

We celebrated our 20 wedding anniversary here and the staff went above and beyond to make it extra special. All of the staff were extremely accommodating and friendly...front desk, bellman, and all the waitresses at the pool. They greeted us with complimentary sparkling rose and gave us late check out. The best experience in such a beautiful place!
Delicious drinks!

Hidden gem near Palm Springs

The pool is clean and cool that let me forget the heat of the desert area. The restaurant they have gave me a wonderful dining experience as well. The free bottle of sparkling wine they gave me as the VIP access benefit was great as well! If you are looking for a place to enjoy your day in the property, you should check this place out, and you will not regret!

My experience at the Sands was hands down the best experience I’ve had in Palm Springs. I stayed during the week so my experience was peaceful and the environment was calm and exactly what I wanted for a little getaway. The room was beautiful, looked and felt very very clean, and I felt very safe staying here. Lastly but certainly not least, the amazing staff were so kind, friendly, and made me feel right at home in every space. Truly a perfect experience!
