The property was very cute and decorated great. The bed was super comfortable. My only complaint was the lighting. The lighting was super dim in the bathroom and it made it hard to do makeup/see. Rooms needed brighter bathroom lighting.

I can’t say enough about the stay we had here over the Memorial Day Weekend/My Big 40th Bday. From the moment we checked in, Summer at the front desk was an absolute gem! She showed us to our room and gave us the run down on the property. Our Deluxe King room was beautifully appointed with a comfortable bed, excellent amenities/toiletries by Diptyque and a fully stocked premium mini bar. The bathroom was also just as stunning and we even had our own private patio. After spending our first night, we decided the following morning to extend our stay for an additional night. Michelle at the front desk easily made this happen for us without needing to reassign us a different room. The food at The Pink Cabana restaurant was delicious and used fresh ingredients for each of the items offered on their menu. Gabby at the bar was excellent in suggesting other places nearby to try as well as making us feel super welcomed while we had a pre-dinner drink at her bar one night. Stella, one of the poolside servers, was the sweetest and even on the hottest of days she maintained a pleasant demeanor and was very attentive to our needs. Overall, I can’t wait to come back. This will be our top choice for our next trip down to the desert. Thank you all for making such a great and memorable experience for my husband and I!

This was an incredible stay. The staff went out of their way to make it special for us, so much so that we extended our trip by a night! The restaurant was fantastic. Can’t wait to go back and try the spa.

Lovely, lovely hotel.

Fabulous little hotel, spectacular restaurant and a lovely pool. My only disappointment and it was a disappointment was having been told that we could spend check-out day by the pool with a plan to eat three meals at the pool/restaurant to be told by a member of staff that we needed to leave the pool because of a wedding party. Understandable but not pleasantly handled.

The hotel is a perfect layout for pool, restaurant and room. It has a sophisticated charm and all the staff were extremely helpful and welcoming. We also used the spa facilities and this also had a wonderful welcoming charm. We loved the Moroccan vibe and made the hotel feel even more luxurious! We will definitely return for another stay.
