My partner and I just returned from a visit to Palm Springs and Chestnutz. It was our first visit to the desert and this location. Both of us did extensive research on where to stay on trip advisor and gay.com. After considering all the options, we selected Chestnutz.
Above all else, the owners, Jim and Paul, are dedicated to making your stay the best it could be. After a 5 hour flight and a trip through hell from Los Angeles on the freeway that lasted 4 hours, we arrived at the resort to be greeted by Paul. He immediately recognized our stress and offered us wine and snacks and just encouraged us to relax in the spa. He let us put all the details of checking in off until the next day. This was our first clue that we had made the best selection. My impressions of the resort are as follows.
1. The breakfasts are incredible and made to order every morning and delivered when and where you want them. All ingredients are very fresh.
2. The ground are immaculate and well maintained. The pool is heated to 84 degrees.
3. Jim and Paul are very knowledgeable of the Palm Springs area and have connections to all the restaurants. The can provide reservations, menus and information on almost every restaurant. Paul made reservations for us and provided confirmations and detailed directions for us to the restaurant.
4. The room was nice and always clean.
5. Although there were only 5 other guests when we stayed, we had a great social hour on Friday and Saturday.
6. If you are looking for a hot sexual climate, look else where. If you want a great place for you and your partner, this is it.
This is one of the best places, gay or non-gay, my partner and I have visited. Any resort could benefit learning from Jim and Paul.
