My experience at the Sands was hands down the best experience I’ve had in Palm Springs. I stayed during the week so my experience was peaceful and the environment was calm and exactly what I wanted for a little getaway. The room was beautiful, looked and felt very very clean, and I felt very safe staying here. Lastly but certainly not least, the amazing staff were so kind, friendly, and made me feel right at home in every space. Truly a perfect experience!

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.

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.

Perfect property! A true getaway. Huge plus that it’s kid free but some of the adults tend to over do it but that wouldn’t stop me from staying there again. Loved it! Only snag is that they send you courtesy text messages offering, say for example, house keeping and don’t follow through on your request. I left my do not disturb sign on and the hotel text me if I was sure I didn’t want house keeping. I said, yes I would and gave them a 4 hour window (per there request) and they never cleaned the room. Small mishap.

We took a short staycation to the Sands and wished we could’ve stayed longer! This is such a magical property and the Pink Cabana restaurant is a hidden gem in the desert! Amazingly delicious and beautiful food!
