We enjoyed six nights at Desert Sun in mid-Oct. and had a wonderful time. This was our second visit this year and it was great to see the spring projects finished. The fire pit area is fabulous on those chilly evenings. The outside shower next to the covered hot tub really looks nice....though you do need to let the water... more

My wife and I vacationed in Palm Springs and chosed the clothes free lifestyle offered by Desert Sun Resort. What a neat place... large enough to accomodate those who want more privacy and quiet and other places in the resort to be part of the group. The hosts are great and do whatever to make you feel right at home.... more

My wife and I looked online at many of the resorts in the states and Caribbean and decided on the Desert Sun Resort. Theresa, at the front desk, was very helpful in answering our many questions prior to our arrival. Once there, I was very pleased to see that the entire resort was “as advertised.” I believe that the Desert... more

Writing about my first visit to Desert Sun Resort in early September 2009. Pros: beautiful, spacious grounds; multiple pools and jacuzzis; very friendly and helpful staff; excellent, mellow vibe; location very convenient to downtown Palm Springs; and all of it nude (if you're into that). Cons: You will pay a premium for the resort being nude, i.e., the rooms are... more

We spent the Labor Day weekend at Desert Sun. It was our first trip to this resort. We have been to Mira Vista near Tucson several times, and it is very nice, but doesn't measure up to Desert Sun. The grounds are beautiful, the staff is helpful and friendly and the vibe can be whatever you want it to be--they... more

Second trip in as many months for a 3 day weekday staty. Half our time was spent with our Real-Estate agent and viewing different properties and locations. The rest the time was relaxing at the resort. First night we were litterally the only ones at the resort, except for a couple of stray cats. There were a few others during... more

My wife and I decided to do something completely different for our bithrdays this year and decided to book a nights stay at Terra Cotta Inn. When we arrived, it was not what was represented on tV or the web site and decided to surf the web on our cell phones and came across the Desert Sun Resort. SOOOO glad... more

This was our first time at a nudist resort and I am so happy we picked the Desert Sun Resort. The place is so clean and the rooms are wonderful. Great new shower in the rooms. The three pools and 2 spas were great and the people are so wonderful. Really happy we came and I recommend all to come.... more

I am going to sound as if I own the place but I don't We were there yesterday for the night. earlier in the week we had been to another resort and I use that word resort sparingly on that situation. Desert Sun is delightful property way above any nude facility in Palm Springs and less expensive than some. Front... more

Went for a day visit to Desert Sun. The staff is great, especially the restaurant folks. Surprisingly enough they are not nudists but act very comfortably and friendly with everyone. If you like water volleyball, there is always a game, not really my thing. I think the best part of the resort is the quite pool next to the spa.... more
