Relaxing La Quinta Getaway

Our family had a fantastic stay at this La Quinta home! The house was spacious, well-kept, and very comfortable, making it easy to relax and enjoy our time together. The pool area was the highlight—beautiful, clean, and with plenty of shaded spots for lounging throughout the day. The host was welcoming, responsive, and made check-in and communication effortless. We would absolutely stay here again!

Wonderful place for a getaway retreat. The condo has everything you need. And the backyard really was a nice oasis to hang out and enjoy the sun. The garage parking was too small for my large SUV, but parking in front of the garage is available so it wasn’t an issue. The gated front entrance made us feel secure as well. Overall would def recommend

A wonderful quiet oasis

Our family (4 adults and two children under 4) spent a delightful week at this well equipped home in La Quinta. The house is roomy, well laid out and quiet. We stayed in the master on the main floor and never heard the grandchildren playing upstairs. The beds are comfy and firm and the towels were nice and thick. The high chair was very much appreciated along with the multiple options for blenders and coffee makers! We didn't visit the exercise room or use the communal pools or courts - our pool was more than enough for us to enjoy. The house has enough shade plus two umbrellas so you can actually enjoy the outside and not get fried by the sun. We totally enjoyed hanging out with our grandchildren at Villa Puerta Azul!

Place is awesome!!!! Pool area beautiful very quiet and peaceful. John our host was perfect always responding to questions etc… definitely would say this will always be on top our list when we come back should it be available. Just a note that the outdoor grill probably should be replaced but it operated very nicely.

Peaceful getaway for our family

If you want a quiet, and peaceful getaway in the desert this is a nice place for you. The neighborhood is very quiet we only saw one other person in the neighborhood our last visit here. To enter the gated community you must enter the access code given by the host but it’s a bit confusing so a little patience is required to enter. Just give the keypad time to register the code and eventually the gate will open. The home is as described and equipped with many of the things you will need. The kitchen pantry and refrigerator are stocked with useful items that we were glad were there because we forgot to bring them with us. The bedrooms and bathrooms are also clean and stocked with useful items like shampoo etc. our favorite part is that the home has its own pool. We have stayed at other similar communities in the area and we love the fact that we don’t need to rush to the community pool to get a spot with chairs or shade, it’s all right here for you and your family to enjoy peacefully and at any hour. Other places kick you out of the pool area at 10pm we were swimming with our kids and enjoying the jacuzzi past midnight. The control panel to control the pool and jacuzzi lights and waterfall and heater is a little tricky but with a little tinkering around you will figure it out. The host will respond in a timely manner to answer any questions you my need answered. we enjoyed our stay here so much that we booked it again 5 weeks later and our family enjoyed it again!

Wonderful Property

Based on the description, I thought it was 3 full bathrooms, but it was actually 2 full bathrooms, and one half bath. Mercifully, that distinction didn't affect us much. Opening the gate to enter the property requires the callbox which dials the owner, who is mostly responsive but there were two instances where that was not the case, and we had to wait at the gate for a bit of time.
