Marriott's Desert Springs Villas I

What guests think

At Marriott's Desert Springs Villas I, guests consistently praise the spacious, apartment-style villas, multiple pools, and well-kept grounds, noting a family-friendly atmosphere and peaceful golf-course views, while some mention long check-in lines and limited on-site dining.

Housekeeping is not daily and extra requests can incur fees, and several guests reported pool cleanliness concerns. Parking carries a nightly fee, and the resort’s size means shuttles are useful but sometimes slow. Villas offer full kitchens and broad golf-course views, though some guests noted occasional noise, AC or Wi‑Fi issues, and isolated pest or maintenance problems. Expect a relaxing, family-friendly resort stay with self-catering convenience.

It was a lovely property, but we got stranded at the main hotel our last night there after having dinner. We were told a shuttle would come for us in a few minutes but it never arrived. We waited for an hour, then had to walk in the dark to a pick up spot where Security got us. The property needs to invest in more shuttles and drivers with more frequent pick up times.

Spacious rooms, beautiful location with great views, good amenities. It would have been nice to have a restaurant on the premises, but there were only eating opportunities by the pools and a market place for snacks and other needs. The pools were lovely, but the music sometimes too loud. The gym was partly old, but open 24 hours, which is great.

We had an absolutely beautiful villa.However, the pool that was nearest us was absolutely filthy. There was black grime on the pool tiles, and several pool tiles were missing and just stacked around the pool deck. The water was extremely cloudy and had lots of leaves and long hair in it. I called the front desk and asked them to clean it twice.But nobody ever came.

Our duvet had blood and the sheets were stained. Of course it was not until the second day that we found it out. Pretty gross to have laid in the bed with someone else’s blood. The jacuzzi particularly has a green tint. This was our second time staying here and the pools are not clean.

Extremely loud music from golf carts, extreme use of foul language, F-bombs! Marriott expected us to remove bed sheets, take out garbage, wash dishes, clean towels were extra. Very poor.

The cleanliness of the pools is very poor. All their pools had muggy water during our stay. Yes, we visited all the pools hoping to find at least one that looked decent. The villa was clean and spacious. So, we spent a lot of time inside the villa and ended up purchasing some tours. Not we expected since our children wanted to enjoy the pool but not even they wanted to get in them.

Our shower was dirty. It had hair all over it and the water was either scalding hot or ice cold. If I took a shower before my husband, there was no hot water for him. I took scalding hot showers and he took ice cold showers!! So that was pretty crappy. Otherwise everything else was good. The room was nice besides the hair all over the shower. That was gross. And there was no conditioner had to ask for some. The property was beautiful and the golf course was gorgeous.

BED BUGS. Walk up to first night with a bunch of bite marks in my legs and arm spotted a bed bug casually walking in my bed took a video, called from desk reported staff and manager came over and manager was trying to convince me that it’s not a bed bug and had zero explanation on my bite marks. I pulled up an image on google and compared my recording to the images I had and confirmed it was bed bugs. Management convinced me it’s not and they would have brand new sheets for me 3 hrs later a last comes by to change sheets for the pull out couch and not the bed I told her it’s for the bed and not the couch and she looked at me and said the order was to replace the couch sheets not the bed. I called front dear spoke with Julie 4 times before and was told someone will come by to change the sheets, security came by and took a report of my bite marks and provided me with a band-Aid. Not a single staff member apologized for the incident, that same night since sheets were changed we went to sleep and I woke up to even more bites, we decided at that point to pack up and head out even though room was fully paid for an additional 2 days. I got to the front dear to check out around 12:45pm and was given the biggest attitude by employee telling me check out is at 10am, I’m thinking what difference does it make if I’m leaving early and room is paid for already I told her I’m leaving early because I’m tired of getting bit by the bed bugs and nothing is being done about it. Will upload pic.

No restaurant or bar except at the pool which closes early. Remote if you don’t have a car. Room was extremely small. Not even a bottle of water. An issue since the sundry shop was a 15 minute walk from my room. If you get assigned a room on the second floor, there is no elevator. They were nice enough to reassign me. Outdated bathroom with a tub shower.

She seemed upset when they were the ones that charged me $500 twice. Not what i expected from Marriott.

I booked a two-night, prepaid stay (Thursday–Saturday) through Hotels.com. When I arrived Friday night at 10:45 PM after a four-hour drive, I was told my reservation had been canceled because I didn’t check in on Thursday. The hotel staff claimed it was a “no-show” and that I would need to rebook and pay again to stay. However, the property’s own listing on Hotels.com says: • “Check-in time ends at anytime” • “No-shows are subject to a property fee equal to the first night’s rate plus taxes and fees” Nowhere does it say the full reservation would be canceled or that guests lose their remaining nights with no refund. At minimum, I should have been charged for Thursday and allowed to check in for Friday—especially since the stay was fully prepaid. Instead, they kept my money and likely resold the room, effectively charging twice for the same space. That’s not just poor communication—it’s unethical and a violation of their stated policies. I can’t say for sure why that was—but as a Black traveler, I’ve learned to pay attention to how I’m treated in moments like this.

Let’s start with the pros: 1. Property is clean. 2. 7 pools 3. Spacious villas Cons: 1. Check in staff not so friendly. Didn’t properly communicate check in instructions, not informing guest what they are signing on the signature pad. The original person that checked me in was friendly but her computer stopped working and she asked her coworker to help and she acted irritated. But overall I enjoyed my stay after check in.

GOLFERS ONLY. 1 toilet in 1100 sqft is obtuse. no food to be find in miles, might as well call this fat camp.
