Santiago Resort - Palm Springs Premier Gay Men’s Resort

My husband and I were here for a week in August. I found the place as a result of a Google search, and after a couple of checks we decided to book here. This place is simply brilliant. The staff are super friendly and helpful. The rooms are well appointed and the beds are incredible. Breakfast was lovely and the lunch that gets ordered in every day was top notch. If you’re on the fence about staying here, my advice is really simple - stay; you won’t regret it. The small things like ice lollies round the pool were just the icing on the cake. We loved this place. The other residents were super friendly and we felt like we were part of a community whilst we were there. Love, love, love this place. Thanks to everyone who made us feel welcome and at home. Amazing place!

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 A lot of the hotels have outdated photos and do not represent what they currently look like but this is not the case here.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!

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

Am currently staying at the Santiago. I can't say enough good things about this place. From the service ,the breakfast and lunch included. The bed is one of my most comfortable sleeps. It's relaxed comfort level is unmatched. With breakfast and lunch supplied and the great pool you have no reason to leave except for dinner. I will definitely return. Thank you for a wonderful time.

Brilliant base for a vacation. Very comfortable , nothing too much trouble , within walking distance of some interesting venues , just 10 mins walk. With both breakfast and lunch provided and the cantina for drinks 24 hours a day , this is the place to stay. Home from home ! We will return for an extended stay in 2025. Thank you !

The Santiago was recommended by folks I met on a previous vacation. They promised I’d love it, and were they ever right! From the moment I walked in, it was clear this stay was going to more than live up to the hype. Beautiful grounds, a gorgeous, spacious room, and a superb staff made this property an absolute pleasure. After a few days of running around Palm Springs (very easy from the location, btw…), I decided to cancel plans and just spend the day relaxing in this stunning oasis and enjoying all it has to offer…and I wasn’t the only one. More than once, conversations around the pool went something like…Question: “So what are you going to do today?” Answer: “This!” :-) I can’t praise this place enough, and can't wait to go back!
