The D Resort

This place is now in bankruptcy and did not honor my reservation, but have also not refunded me for my room. The whole operation seemed a little shady to begin with, but I was called the day before my booking and told that the bank had closed the whole resort down due to financial risk. Interestingly, when I tried to call back the people who had called me regarding the bankruptcy, the number was the main line for the resort. I have been unable to get in touch with anyone at the hotel to try and remedy this issue and get my money back. The resort number is still active, but when you call a second number for bookings, the line has been disconnected. Very strange. Stay away from these guys, the whole thing is a nightmare.

I had the pleasure of staying at the D Resort for 3 nights in February. I have stayed in an actual 5 star resort, and I would say the D lives up to the resort quality and feel for a tiny fraction of the cost. The rooms are GORGEOUS, and really feel like home. All staff I interacted with were super friendly and attentive. I enjoyed a dip in the heated pool, relaxed in the cabana, and slept like a baby in the comfortable bed. The shower was a massive walk-​in experience that I didn’t want to leave! To summarize: The D is the best place to stay in Palm Springs. I HIGHLY recommend it!

This is the second time we stayed here, the rooms always clean, a quite, place with quaint and cozy rooms.
Next time your in Palm Springs, consider this place you won’t be disappointed.

When we arrived the Double queen room we booked was given away so we were upgraded to separate king rooms, when we said we’d share a room still we were allowed to have our family use the spare room at no additional cost. The place is small and quaint, but the rooms are nicely decorated and very modern chic. The AC in the red room could be upgraded to cool faster and more efficiently… but other than that the place is phenomenal. Management is very accommodating and friendly, they know the true definition of customer service! Nice pool with cabanas, bistro tables outside each room to use if you’d like to sit outside with your coffee in the morning. It’s outside downtown so you don’t have to go through traffic to get to the place if you get to PS from LA. It’s close to several restaurants and fastfood along with gas stations. This is my first stay here and I’m so pleased I chose The D Resort! Couldn’t hear anyone in the rooms next door which was nice too.

The customer service is wonderful and refreshing. I spoke to Nick, he was friendly, accommodating and answered all of my questions. I felt, for once, that my concerns were important to him as well as myself. My experience with other hotels is they have a take it or leave it attitude, that was not the case here. I’m looking forward to my stay this weekend!

Loved our stay a The D so much we are booking a longer one next month! Nick in reception was friendly and helpful — check in was simple. Parking in front next to the office is convenient. Through a locked gate is the pool courtyard surrounded by the suites and cabanas — very convenient. It’s a boutique hotel with mid-​century modern décor; the beds are super comfortable. We loved it!

I just booked my 2 rooms needed for a gymnastic meet at the convention thru Hotwire. It stated that I needed to contact the hotel to make certain requests. I spoke with the manager Nick who was DA BOMB! When I told him why i was coming he spoke to me like we were friends and gave me suggestions on where to go and how close certain places were. Very helpful! Thanks Nick. See you soon :)

Worst nightmare ever!!! Impossible to remove cigarette smell in entire property, flies all over in the bedroom and bathroom no wonder we had a fly swatter in the room. No one in the office to check in and check out. 6pm when we get there, the room wasn’t ready (there are only 6 room to clean!) Every time when you need service you have to call owner’s cell phone. Best of all (?) bathroom sink was clogged and shaved hair floating on the water from previous guest. YUK! Obviously no one cleaned the sink. They have to call service to fix it. I would give them less than ZERO if there is option.

I’m torn on whether to give this 1 or 2 stars. After reading all of the rave reviews about this place on Unilocal and other online places, I was expecting something at least decent. And this was definitely not.
First, let me say that the rooms, as mentioned by others, are quite nice. They are decorated very well, and you can tell they put a lot of effort into making this look like a really upscale sort of place.
Ok, that’s where my compliments stop. Now the problems:
— When we checked in, the guy who checked us in (not sure who it was) was very mumbly and very disorganized. He couldn’t find our paperwork or whatever, and then had trouble giving us the correct keys. Uh oh.
— We were given room #6, and as I mentioned before, when we opened the door, it was quite nice. Then we noticed what I imagine are blood stains on one of the bedspreads.
— Then inside one of the cupboards we discovered an empty jar marked ‘strawberry preserves’ that was covered in tinfoil and had an inch of god knows what on the bottom of it. It looked like animal grease or something, but I wasn’t willing to find out. I was going to throw it out in the trash can outside, but it was full, so I just left it out on the table. Disgusting.
— Then I opened the fridge, and that clearly had not been cleaned. There were stains all over it, and random small pieces of food on the shelves. WTF?
— I looked under the bed, and there was a sandal, a ton of dust, and random pieces of crackers and foodstuffs. I mean, I don’t know how often most hotels clean under the beds, but this one was WAY overdue.
— The door to the closet came off its hinges.
Now, I realize that any of these things by themselves are probably no big deal. But put together this place just put a bad taste in my mouth and I couldn’t wait to get out in the morning. Sure, this wasn’t the worst hotel stay I’ve ever had — but it was close.

Small resort (only 6 rooms I think) but extremely well maintained and cared for. We got a fantastic deal for a Sunday night in Palm Springs. The room was recently remodeled and has many of the elements of a 4 star hotel. The staff was very nice & accomodating. Would definitely return for another visit

Awesomeness always something different every time! This time… poolside massage therapy. Quaint cute clean relaxing beautiful views love it here

Had a perfect getaway, beautiful room, great service from front desk, Mr. D himself & Nick, to housekeeper, Mona, all so gracious and always smiling, the pool was extremely clean all the time (even after the owner’s dog played around in it — no chlorine smell!), walking distance to d/​t PS and resort décor is simply stunning/​classy/​chic — perfect place for couples, very quiet and Nick even offered us beer by the pool one particular hot day — we love you guys and look forward to more returns especially with your upcoming cabana additions and next door diner
SUGGESTIONS:
— adding cabana front cover to protect from sun exposure would probably get more use out of current cabana’s
— room #3 has a wine cooler (not sure about other 5 units) which we used as a fridge but would be best to have a small fridge for better cooling power for food & other beverage items most folks like to store
— make ice available ²⁴⁄₇ for guests
— sell your gorgeous blue pool towels even if at a small premium since they are so popular (we would have paid you a little more to avoid shopping for them at Costco or wherever else they’ve got ‘em)
— offer a couple of good quality chocolates with room service — something so simple yet so memorable because it talks to our most sensitive organ, the gut
with love, Bella

My boyfriend and I chose to stay at The d Resort based on the great Unilocal reviews. Overall we did enjoy our stay but weren’t stoked that it was in the middle of renovations when we went. The selling feature was the private cabanas and the nice lounge chairs. They were not able for use when we were there. We also had a couple of visits from some caterpillar like bugs. They didn’t pose a threat but I wasn’t stoked on their visits inside our bathroom. The best part of this hotel has to be their actual rooms. It felt as if we were in a comfy studio apartment. It was well decorated and felt really homey. The restroom was very nice as well with big showers. We will definitely return once the cabanas are fixed.

This hotel is wonderful! We stayed in the red room. It was so well decorated and very clean! LOVED the modern bathrooms with a huge shower and view of the mountains and trees. Excellent water pressure. The rooms are large and so spacious. The bed was a very comfortable California king. Danny is so accommodating and friendly! I would definitely come back and recommend this resort to all of my friends and family! Located by so many fun bars and restaurants! Look no further you have found your hotel!!!

So my boyfriend and I stayed at The D Resort for a night on the 4^th of July. When we arrived we couldn’t find someone to check us in, but when the two men who I’m assuming own the hotel realized we were there, they were super apolegetic and friendly and checked us in right away. We stayed in the «blue room» and absolutely loved it! The furniture and décor reminded me of staying in a friend’s home, and not a stuffy hotel room. The bed was super comfy and the way the room was decorated was so cute! It was super hot when we were there, but the ac along with the pool was great!
I wish we would’ve stayed another night, but will have to stay again to enjoy the pool and city a little more! Defintely reccommed staying at this hotel, I love that there’s ony 6 rooms so the pool isn’t packed.

they have different themed rooms here, the only problem is its usually booked up with celebrities but if there is a room open you take it!
Great prices and the staff is awesome as well!

This place was adorable. I found Danny’s hotel through Unilocal and have to agree with all the other 5 star reviews! I booked 3 rooms (#3, #4, and #5) for my family and I over Christmas. We loved our newly renovated rooms which were very clean, modern, and SPACIOUS. The beds were super luxurious and comfy (one of my favorite things about nice hotels!)
Some tips (since their hotel website is a little sparse):
1. Even though their hotel comes up on various websites like orbitz, call them and book directly. Danny (the owner) was awesome in giving us an even better price and upgrading us to the larger suites! Super competitive rates compared to the surrounding hotels.
2. There are only 6 rooms at the hotel. This was fantastic for our family because we felt like we had the run of the place and it was nice and intimate. If you’re booking a place for a family reunion or bachelorette party, you should TOTALLY book all 6 rooms here!
3. All the rooms surround a HEATED swimming pool with a couple floating recliners, beach balls, and other floaties. Should have brought our swimsuits, but I didn’t realize the pool would be heated!
4. There are free cabanas by the pool! One per room. You get your own shaded space table, and seating.
5. Free parking out front! Don’t take your car to the back. The parking «lot» is just a small strip of asphalt in the front.
6. Our favorite aspect to the hotel was the gas firepit by the pool! I didn’t know they had one, or I would have brought supplies to make s’mores! We lit a fire and stayed outside late at night playing games. It was super cozy and fun!
7. Free wifi
8. Their renovations are done! Yay!
Enjoy! Highly recommended.

We stayed for 1 night. Omg! Cutest place. We were given the option to what room we wanted and we picked the red room. The room we sooo nice and spacious. The bed was super comfortable. The walls are pretty thin and you can hear the people next to you talking,
Owners were nice. Danny was very accommodating. They only have 6 rooms which makes it a lot better, less hectic.
Cabanas are cute. I would definitely stay here again.
Danny says that the restaurant will be open by New Years.

Closed.

This place is fantastic! Upon check-​in it looks like your standard boutique hotel: Under 10 rooms, simple pool with really great cabana and lounge décor surrounding the pool. When I walked into my room — WOW! Is all I can really say. There was some love and real thought put into the design of the rooms because they’re beautiful! All you need to do is add a full kitchen and you could move in! (And trust me, I thought about it) My room had dark hardwood floors, A large bathroom and shower space, sitting benches, a hightop dining table, TV, fridge and bartop with cabinets and a sink — It was truly stunning. Each of the rooms are decorated differently so you can experience something new with each visit!
Since it is Palm Springs and heat is expected, the pool and misters help keep you cool. The cabanas and pool space allow for alot of various lounging: By the pool, under an umbrella, sitting on a comfy loveseat or just chillin on some chairs. This particular area on N Palm Canyon tends to be a bit windier at night, however, on the really hot days, this is a complete blessing to help keep you cool in the desert.
The hotel has resident dogs and is dog-​friendly (to well-​behaved travel dogs), however, check with the hotel before bringing your furry kid to ensure they can accommodate. In the meantime, Baxter, their resident lab, will be more than happy to play.
They’re currently redeveloping their bar/​restaurant area and I’m told will be done in the coming months (before prime season) so I’ll have to go back for the finished product.
Off season, you can get some really great deals
In season, all rates are competitive — just call or check various sites for deals. I can say you won’t find a nicer room even at the Viceroy. These rooms are worth it!
They are supporters of eco-​friendly products and hotel methods and include such products into their business standards.
BUT, there’s nothing standard about this hotel. The owners are fun, friendly and truly know how to make you feel right at home. I almost forgot I was at a hotel because they go above and beyond to make you relaxed and comfortable. I can’t wait to come back.
