Vista Grande Resort

Tom and Co. couldn’t have been more nice and accommodating to us. The amenities can’t be beat. The location is perfect. The bed in the room was incredibly comfortable. We will be back! I wish I could stay longer.

My first gay hotel experience in US and I have to say I was very impressed. The hotel captures the essence of Palm Springs with a boutique style hotel. Amazing lush grounds with plenty of space to sneak away and grab a kiss. Two clear gorgeous deep blue pools, sauna, and jacuzzi with plenty of space to lay out. I appreciate the friendly service and their efforts to get everyone together to have a great time.
I would defiantly stay here again.

This was a GREAT place to stay for an all-​too-​short weekend. Tom and the rest of his staff were amazing, particularly with the service and delicious breakfasts. On the weekend I was there, they also served both lunch and dinner, which was a special treat. If there was one minus, it was that they are gradually updating and renovating rooms. Mine was recently upgraded, though, and was quite comfortable. The crowd was pretty mixed, and the overall vibe struck a great balance between «fun» and «chill.» Finally, the location is within walking distance to downtown and other gay-​friendly establishments in the area.

Great property. Great pool. Great rooms. Exceptionally great service. Came here for pride weekend and can’t wait to come back. The staff here were more like friends than staff. The kind of friend that let’s you know when dinner is ready and are always around to fill your mimosa up by the pool. They are funny and friendly and really made our stay great. A++ to this place.

Had the PLEASURE of staying here one weekend and truly have been recommending this place to friends left and right.
I had a bit of trouble finding the place. Once you enter Warm Sands, the road will bend to the left then bend to the right. At this bend to the right, on your left is a resort labeled MIRAGE (Vista Grande appears underneath it). As this was my first time in Warm Sands… I drove by it twice, so called up and Tom not only directed me in, but greeted me with a HUGE smile and a BIG hug. Whatta welcome!
I cannot begin to say how amazing Tom was. The entire stay he was so attentive and accommodating. Showed me around the complex and was always floating around seeing if we needed anything
The room was spacious, homey, and clean. Plenty of towels, big beds, great sheets (slept like a rock). I didn’t realize that 3 meals came with the reservation. Got there early in time for lunch! Dinner was Pork 3-​ways and breakfast was continental AND then a full hot breakfast as well.
The grounds are well kept, the steam room was my favorite! Super relaxing & spacious. I highly recommend. The waterfall is perfectly situated next to the hot tub… so it acts as a «cool dip» as well!
Cannot wait to come back to Palm Springs. Definitely staying here again!

This was our third stay this year. Again Tom and the staff go above and beyond to take care of those staying at the resort. Could definitely use a few updates, but I think they are working on it slowly but surely. Looking forward to comming back again!

Just called hotel for another booking to give it a second chance. I told «Tom» at front desk that I was there in April but didn’t have the best experience due to the condition of the hotel (very run down) even though my staff review was 5 star… but the hotel was in horrible shape! He said hotel was recently upgraded and remodeled. I gave credit card and booked it. HE THEN HAD THE NERVE TO CALL ME BACK, and confront me on my past review and was VERY confrontational about it !! Who does this ?? What kinda hotel ever confronts a paying guest ?!?
I told him to cancel reservation and that I would never tolerate giving my business to such an establishment. Some Gay owned properties treat guests like transient bothersome impositions … this is one of them… You can do much better at other more professionally run establishments!

Haven’t Unilocal-​ed in a long while, but this place is worth it.
I’d never stayed at a gay resort and knew next to nothing about Palm Springs. I needed someplace quiet and relaxing, but centrally located. The party resorts held no interest to me. Vista Grande looked the best online for my needs, and it far exceeded my expectations. The grounds are green and lush, the facilities were clean and top notch, the fellow guests were friendly and outgoing, and staff goes above and beyond to make you comfortable. Add in the fact that breakfast and lunch are provided every day, plus dinner on the weekends… it was also a great value. The place is currently going through some renovations to make it even better, but that work never interrupted my stay or relaxation. I stayed for 5 nights and literally did not want to leave. I can’t wait to come back.

I had an interview at Vista Grande about 2 years ago and since have always wanted to stay there. I only live right across the street.
Last night I finally got the chance to stay there and I cannot wait to go back!
Very friendly and welcoming staff, very tropical and relaxing atmosphere. And of course hot hot hot men!
I will see you guys next payday! Thanks again for everything!
Absolutely love it there!

I had the most wonderful, relaxing time here.
Very accommodating staff. Continental breakfast AND lunch provided. The lunch, I believe, is provided from a local restaurant. Great choices on the lunch menu, and it’s included with rates!
Relaxed atmosphere, friendly visitors. The design is dated, but it’s a well kept, clean place. Worth the $$$.
There isn’t a gym on the premises. But they provide a pass to Workout Gym, a local gym. I took advantage of this, the gym is great. It’s a small gay gym. VERY clean and well kept.
I’ll definitely be staying here again.
Shout out to Bob and his friendly staff.

I used to go here for many years, and the resort continued to decline in both service and in the physical care of the rooms – run down, dirty, dated, poor wi-​fi (really, you have to go sit outside of your room to connect to the Internet in this day and age???). At least the desk help used to be friendly and helpful, but not anymore. This place so needs an infusion of money to update and repair the rooms. What a shame, because in the mid-​90s through about 2005 this was a fun place to go.

After many, many trips to Palm Springs, I now know exactly where I will be staying from now on.
This place is charming, peaceful, funky, clean, relaxed, beautiful, friendly and perfect. The grounds are beautiful and you only have to deal with the «Palm Springs Bird» aka Leaf Blowers on Tuesday mornings.
The staff is professional and friendly. The star is front desk clerk, Tom who clearly loves his work and made me feel right at home.
Don’t let the clothing optional turn you off. In fact, after I few days, I was running around naked and loving it.
Thank you Vista Grande, I look forward to my next visit.

This resort is wonderful because it is 3 resorts in one. They have a warm swimming pool that is tested for chlorine 4 times a week, which means you can actually open your eyes under water. There is also a cold swimming pool. The hot tubs include one LARGE U shaped tub and one smaller tub, both hot. The large sauna is hot. For the past 2 years, the HUGE steam room has had 2 of it’s 3 jets turned off, meaning there is no reason to go in the steam room unless you want to have some privacy. An an all you can eat cereal breakfast is provideo on the patio each morning with orange juice and milk etc. The grounds are beautifully maintained. I would suggest that they fire their current handyman and get someone who knows what he is doing. The shower curtain was just balanced (not installed) on the tile at the top of the shower and the door locks were installed 45 degrees wrong. We were disappointed that the heat was set to turn off each night (in December?) but complaining to the office twice didn’t fix the problem. We bought a portable heater to correct keep our bedroom warm. The only reason I’m not giving a five star rating is because the staff didn’t assist us with our problems, and and our apartment came without basic kitchen bowls, plates, silverware, etc.
I believe the resort is also called Vista Grande Villa.

Really enjoyed staying here for Christmas. The gardens on the grounds were very well-​kept, the people were friendly, and the pools cool and refreshing. The continental breakfast was perfectly adequate, though nothing special. It was a bit dead here, but that was due to the holiday and no reflection on the resort itself.
Less sexually charged than other clothing-​optional gay resorts in Warm Sands. We saw several couples being romantic but not graphically so. People seemed to be coupled and spending time with each other more than meeting new people, though I’m going to assume that’s not always the case (ie. Pride).
They welcomed us to come back to swim and lay out the afternoon AFTER we checked out, which I thought was generous and nice of them… and we took them up on it.

Very friendly staff, lush grounds. The continental breakfast was convenient and they even had Champagne on Sunday. The rooms were clean but in need of an overhaul big-​time. For the price, this was a fair deal.

Vista Grande Villas advertised on their website a $ 89 a night weeknight rate with no restrictions posted. My partner and I, on a spur of the moment trip to PS, decided to check it out. When we arrived the gate was open so we went to the office. No one there so we rang the phone and were rudely greeted by the manager (who desperately needs to take a course on customer service). We asked him if he had any rooms available for two nights and he said they were $ 99 and $ 129 a night and showed us two rooms (neither made up yet). I asked him about the $ 89 a night special advertised on their website and he told me it was a summer weeknight rate and it was no longer summer so it was unavailable (it’s Tuesday Sept 21 and every other resort in PS still has summer rates). When I questioned why they still had the rate on the website he got mad and then he informed us that he only had rooms for $ 139 a night. We told him «no thanks» and booked a room next door at All Worlds for $ 69 a night. They were so nice and helpful and will get our dollars on our next and frequent trips to Palm Springs.
