Santiago Resort - Palm Springs Premier Gay Men’s Resort

Amazing stay. Staff treat you like family. Gorgeous lush grounds. Well appointed rooms. Super social crowd at the pool morning through night. We barely left the hotel - there was no reason to leave. Pure bliss! Can’t wait to come back. Huge thanks to Kent for making our holiday exceptional.

Kent and his team at Santiago are five star all the way. This property is gorgeous and exceptionally well-maintained. The staff are always friendly and helpful. The music by the pool is perfect, the rooms are spacious. The linens are pressed and crisp and probably the best pillows we have ever experienced at a hotel! Breakfast and lunch by the pool is such a great treat and with only a 15 minute walk to restaurants and bars this really is a perfect location. Fast forward to the evenings and the property is beautifully lit with the pool, hot tub, and fire pit open for the guest to enjoy. It is very much a social gathering, and a great way to spend an evening or relax after the bar. We have been coming to this little piece of paradise for 15 years and every visit is just better than the last. EXCEPTIONAL !

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!

I absolutely loved my experience at the Santiago! The room decor and design was stylish and fun but the pool area was the highlight - surprisingly green and lush for a desert environment, comfortable lounge chairs and even some shade. The staff is friendly and available and the resort is impeccably maintained - rooms and grounds look spotless and new. I also enjoyed socializing with other guests. I had ambitions of exploring Palm Springs and its offerings but couldn't resist the allue of the resort and spent most of my time floating around the pool. I will be back!

We had reserved a room here for March 2020 - you'll remember what happened THEN. One thing and another, it's been four years, but we finally got to Santiago; and it was well worth the wait. The resort is well maintained, sparkling clean (we like clean), and beautifully landscaped. The staff is cheerful, helpful and professional (Robert was on site the two days we stayed). Breakfast and lunch are included in the room price; and for us, that's value added - once we put our bags down and drop our pants, we prefer to stay on campus. And the food is quite good. The 24-hour "cantina" with snacks and beverages helps give the experience a cruise-like feel: and it's nice to walk over and pick up a seltzer or a warm cookie anytime you want it. My husband and I recommend Santiago highly.

The Santiago never disappoints.. exceptional service..always a relax and refresh for us. We are repeat customers. Highly recommend. The staff are always ready to give you a dinner or club recommendation. If you are thinking of coming to Palm Springs you consider this top notch resort.
