We love everything about our previous stay and anticipate another wonderful restful experience. Also can't wait to get into the healing waters that feel like silk on the skin. :) Gita Hall

    When my friend suggested a trip to Palm Springs area last month I thought "desert in the summer- R U Crazy?" But it was fantastic! We lounged in the shady pool (which was perfect body temperature), sipped Moroccan T and Moroccotini's, wrapped ourselves in flowing sarongs and lounged like we were Sultans of the desert. Surprise! I want to do it again next summer.

    We had a wonderful time this past weekend, despite the record levels of rain. The accomodations were great, the pool and spa were wonderful and when combined with a massage, heavenly. What we enjoyed the most was the fantastic customer service and the friendliness of the innkeepers. Keep up the great work and look foward to seeing you all again soon!
