Casa Oliver Hotel & Resort — Hotel in Palm Springs

This was actually my 2nd stay at Casa Oliver. My 1st stay was actually the week they started their renovations, back in February 2025.

Here's why I chose to book again...

The rooms are now all beautifully redone, and perfect for even a longer stay (4+ days) because they are WAAAY BIGGER than expected, tastefully decorated, and outfitted with amenities that other resorts overlook.

Even with a King bed, the open layout allow for an abundance of space to still “hangout” and not be in the “bedroom". In all honesty, it makes it feel more like a 1 bedroom condo/apartment, not a just hotel room. Plus, I can't think of any resort that I've stayed at before where my room INCLUDED a walk-in closet. Additionally, It’s the little things that really make this place a stand out...the day-to-day cleanliness of the resort grounds (including the mazes), the café area, the fountains, and even the landscaping. It’s easy to see that this place cares about a guest's TOTAL experience.

But outside of the facility and all its amenities, what stands out the most is the staff. Everyone is super friendly, welcoming, and happy to see you. At one point, everyone was even served fruit popsicles poolside by one of the attentive staff members!! Such a nice touch that speaks VOLUMES, and makes guests want to come back.

What I noticed most of all (during both stays) is the non-overbearing nature which can sometimes overshadow the atmosphere at this kind of resort. While the staff is always available, you can walk freely and enjoy the resort for what it is without feeling like you're being “watched”, but still feeling safe to really relax and enjoy yourself.

For me, Casa Oliver is why vacations exist..to escape the everyday tasks of real life (even for just a few days), indulge responsibly with friends, meet other friendly people from all over the world, laugh with old pals, be outside in the sun, and then have a quiet, fresh, clean, calming place to start the day, and wind down at night.

Casa Oliver is definitely worth every penny. If you're on the fence as to where to book your next Palm Springs trip...Stop. Book your stay here. You'll be...

I started visiting this resort some years ago, when the CCBC in Cat City neglected to tell me the pool would be closed during my stay - so I stayed instead at All Worlds, which gave me access to this property. I spent the whole time there it was so nice and enchanting. Later, when it became the Annex, separate from All Worlds, I would enjoy the property via day passes. Beautiful pools and play spaces. So this trip, my friend and I booked a buddy room for a long weekend. It was so much more than expected. I knew the location was unrivaled. I was thrilled to see the new staff was so kind and accommodating (the Annex staff was bitchy just to be bitchy, like too many resort staffs in the area). The room was YUUUUGE; Two bedrooms with a nice seating room with TV and mini fridge, which always comes in handy for mixers and left over pizza ;) I understand they've been renovating rooms, and look forward to returning to the buddy room once it's completed to see how tasteful they do it. The whole property is so inviting and tasteful, I'm sure it will be gorgeous! The cafe, open 24/7 has two coffee machines (one is a Nespresso?) and pastries and fruit to keep your energy up for all the fun and adventure. And it's a nice place to meet other guests and lean more about the others staying there. I really couldn't dream up a better experience. It just transcended both expectation and imagination. I'd really like to thank all the staff and owner for creating such a wonderful oasis in what can sadly be an area as barren of hospitality as it is of water. OH...and be sure to stay through Sunday - the afternoon pool party is NOT to...

As the former "Inn Exile," this property was our go-to when we visited Palm Springs (usually about twice a year). We were very sad after it was sold and became a "straight" facility. Then it was sold to All Worlds Video and apparently, they made numerous changes. We then heard that it was sold again but didn't know much about it. So, as a result of a flight cancellation on our recent trip, we had an extra night in PS and decided to check it out.||We recognized many of the vestiges of Inn Exile, which was great. (The "Inn" had a lot more greenery, which I assume All Worlds removed due to maintenance costs...). Our interaction with the staff was also great. He was very friendly and informative. He explained that the resort is undergoing a 5-phase renovation, of which 2 phases are complete. The work they have done so far is spot on. Our room was big, well appointed, and clean and the garden area outside of it was very nice (though we did miss the pool that used to be there...). The remaining pool was perfect, as was the hot tub.||The old "Inn" always was cruisy at night, but the indoor and outdoor maze areas (that I assume are vestiges of All Worlds modifications) bump it up to another level. Yes, there are some areas that could use some upgrading, but from what they've done so far, we can only anticipate more good things to come! We will...
