We stayed here last week. We chose it because the hotel had 1 dog-friendly room. We took it and immediately were thankful for our decision. The pool is perfect - warm and with mountain and garden views. The garden is beautiful and full of flowers. Our room was clean, well-appointed, and had both a kitchen and a fenced area outside...

I would strongly recommend this hotel for the value and the warm, hospitable service. It is not luxurious or fancy, but it is very nice and comfortable. We had a spacious room with a kitchen facing the pool for less than $150 per night. The best part is the hosts, Rob & Ricardo. Two very sweet guys who go out... More

Though I am not 100% gay, I was attracted to this location based on price, location and the fact that it is clothing optional. I found the accommodations excellent value for what was provided and especially compared to the other clothing optional resorts in Palm Springs. The owners were very responsive to my emails and very friendly when I arrived... More

My husband I have stayed several times. In the winter and the hot days of August as well. It gets better everytime. As a Travel Agency Owner I travel the world.

Okay I know that going to the desert in the summer is not the smartest thing to do, but they had great rates, and the owners very willing to give directions/suggestions for meals etc. Rick and Rob are both very friendly and always said hello anytime they saw me. Had a huge room with kitchen and really, my only beef... More

Rob and Rick were very friendly, made me feel like I was visiting friends. It was my first time staying in Palm Springs and they were very helpful suggesting restaurants and things to do. They also offered me free passes to the Palm Springs Art Museum. It's a laid-back place and I look forward to returning. More

I've been here several times and always loved it. It's more for the mellower crowd, not the out of control crowd. The last time I went their was a group of young guys that were hogging the jacuzzi all night long getting wasted, not exactly my cup of tea, but other than that I highly recommend this place. More

Another great relaxing visit, Ric & Rob are great hosts. Rooms are always kept clean, a great place to kick back and relax. Pool & spa are clean and kept at a comfortable temperature and poolside misters provide additional comfort from the hot desert sun. You can't help but feel comfortable in these surroundings. Tortuga is located on a quiet... More
