What guests think

La Serena Villas is a serene, boutique stay with private villa layouts and a walkable location, drawing praise for its peaceful atmosphere, attractive grounds, and often friendly staff, while recurring notes cite service inconsistencies, aging maintenance, and scaled-back touches.

Many villas feel spacious and private, with patios, outdoor tubs, or spas, though several guests reported AC problems, noisy units, hard mattresses or pillows, and occasional in-room maintenance issues. Guests frequently enjoy the restaurant and cocktails, but others mention menu shortages, a daylong closure, and an underwhelming or reduced breakfast compared with past stays. Parking is unassigned and a few guests mentioned limited pool loungers. Expect a stylish, mostly tranquil, adults-oriented stay.

The property was really beautiful, we were able to enjoy a spa suite and that was nice to have. Before hand I had let the property know I was celebrating my bday and I was disappointed they didn’t do anything to acknowledge that. Check in was ok they welcomed you with a drink and a towel but room was t ready until exactly at 4 which kind of sucked, also the rooftop was booked for a private event that was one of the reason we booked the hotel for that amenity so it sucjes we weren’t able to experience that part of it but the restauaraunt was outstanding, enjoyed the food and drinks. All the staff we came across were very friendly and accompanying.

Would give it a 5, it this hotel has no assigned parking, if you find parking in the street then that’s that, if not, you have to park and walk however far you do. Minor thing, but a pillow on Villa 4 where I stayed was ripped … and there was no shampoo on the container :(

Really cute and charming hotel! Parking is lacking, AC doesn’t work great (maybe bc it’s summer so it’s hot) but the villa didn’t cool off very well, and the pool area is very lacking in pool loungers. Sat night there literally tent any for my bf and I so we couldn’t play by the pool! Overall good location tho and cute spaces/villas.

This place is absolutely awesome overall, it isn't cheap but the size of the villas along with the fact some come with private patios and hottubs or outdoor bathrtubs makes it overall worth it. Now for the negatives, for a property as pricey as this one there were a lot of little things you'd think would be taken care of, there was some water damage to the trim on either side of the shower that was kinda unsightly, the hot water didn't work at all on one of the lav faucets, the sprayer for the kitchen sink didn't work at all and was unusable, some of the tableware was dirty still and the kitchen table was still sticky and looked like it hadn't been wiped down. Would I stay here again absolutely in a heartbeat..if they fixed some of these other issues it would be 5 stars no doubt.

Beautiful property and nice villa. Prior Kirkland ownership reviews raved about the place, breakfast and the service and comparatively it seems less than before. Found the staff very friendly and helpful, some fixes needed in the units, sinks not draining, tv not working well, furnishings, while lovely could use a refresh.

This hotel used to be really nice, not sure what happened. It seems to be grossly mismanaged and neglected in a sense of room condition, not existing service to poor food quality and constant mistakes with entry orders. We had planned a romantic stay with my wife that turned into a dreadful experience that we couldn’t wait to be over. Glad we didn’t book for more nights and was able to switch hotels. This used to be one of our favorite boutique hotels in the area. What a shame, we’re bummed :(

The house keeping was kinda minimal, the room had a wine fridge instead of a regular fridge.

Love coming to La Serena. This our third time. I feel like the staff was a little less friendly this last stay. The facility never disappoints. The restaurant was closed for a plumbing issue for the entire day and only limited beverages were available at the pool. For what you pay per evening, you would think they would have offered something to make up for the inconvenience. It was 105 each day we were there and stayed 3 days. Overall it is a great place to stay. Very intimate and clean facility.

This was our second stay, be we will not stay here again. The hotel is nice and the pool and restaurant service is very good, but our experience was ruined by a rude and not transparent front desk. We booked through Hotels.com and La Serena was vocally unhappy about it. They would be an obscure boutique without 3rd Party exposure. Upon departure, the clerks refused to provide a complete receipt of charges and told me to ask Hotels.com for a complete billing! Hotels.com didn't charge us anything . Even after repeated calls by me and Hotels.com, La Serena still has not refunded the difference between the quoted and actual charges. Beware!

Okay, to begin with we liked the property & Palm Springs. Although a bit chilly, we went in mid January, it was bright and sunny every day and CLEAR-you can see for miles around. The property consists of 1 story 'bungalows' and 'cottages' from the 30's but completely reconstructed in 2016. The cottage we stayed in consisted of a large bedroom and a large bath area connected by a utility hallway and a cozy outside fire pit area. Good size for a couple, not for a family. Daily Housekeeping is included though we had to keep reminding them of the need for more than 1 facecloth/washcloth. The bed was very comfortable and the shower was modern. Daily delivery of a continental breakfast is a nice touch, a Keurig coffee maker (they also provided free fresh coffee at the on-site restaurant Azucar if you wish) and fresh bottled water is also a plus. A fridge is included but NO MICROWAVE made for some wasted leftovers from restaurants.Staff was quite friendly and cordial. After a few days there it felt a bit cramped so we would not spend a week there again. The room rate varied from $335 to $803 per night PLUS a daily $48 resort fee and avg $63/day taxes. Overall Price would have been $620 higher had it not been for our Expedia member pricing. The property is VERY convenient to downtown area so we were able to walk to every restaurant, museum/attraction there, you will need an Uber to the airport (10 min) and rent a car to go to Joshua Tree National Park or the PS Tramway as we did.

Stayed here for 2 nights for a mini honeymoon right after our wedding, we also let the staff know before that we were celebrating. The property looked beautiful when we first arrived we parked out front,the front desk receptionist wasn’t very friendly she asked what make,model and color our car was I told her and then said “we just parked right out front” and she didn’t say anything. We then pulled our luggage up the steps and through the property to get to our room. It wasn’t till later we found out there were parking spaces in the back of the property right by our room. We stayed in room 14 with the outdoor spa. The room was beautiful and looked just like the photos but there was nothing special done for our honeymoon which was disappointing. The patio area was also very cute! The first day we got massages in what was a small room with independent contractors doing the massages (they let us know that they weren’t part of the hotel staff). It definitely wasn’t the experience I was expecting for a Michelin star hotel spa. Both nights I was woken up by what I thought was the shower on full blast but it was the air conditioner draining into the shower? It didn’t stop for hours I threw towels in the shower to soften the noise but it didn’t work.So we didn’t sleep either night.Also the left sinks water didn’t work out of one faucets & the spa light also didn’t turn on.The delivered “breakfast” to your door every morning which was a joke.
