Guests consistently praise the attentive service and immaculate grounds at Marriott's Shadow Ridge - The Villages in Palm Desert. The atmosphere blends a relaxing desert retreat with an energetic family vacation, anchored by spacious villas that feel like genuine homes rather than hotel rooms. While the main pool area buzzes with energy and a popular waterslide, savvy guests appreciate the hidden perk of full access to the amenities at the neighboring Enclaves section, doubling your options for swimming and lounging during your stay.
Beautiful resort with amazing landscaping and very nice pools. We had a 2 bedroom villa in the first building facing the golf course which was great. The room was spacious and very comfortable. We loved having the kitchen and washer and dryer. The view was quite nice and although being on the first floor was practical the people above were quite loud at times. To avoid this potential problem I'd ask for a top floor room. Another thing worth noting is that the mattresses are quite firm so if like us you prefer softer ones like Westin you definitely won't like these. The pool area was large and had a bar in the middle with complimentary water and an ice machine on the side which was nice. The pool wasn't too deep but deeper than other resorts we've been too so that was nice. The gym is in the basement of the building next to the main lobby which is only a 5 minute walk from our building. They had lots of equipment and change rooms. Overall a great resort and we would definitely stay again.
