Dive Palm Springs — Hotel in Palm Springs

This is a small hotel with just 11 rooms. The entrance is not immediately apparent, but we understand that is being addressed, car parking is outside the walled hotel area. On walking through either of the doors from the street you are presented with beautiful gardens, pool, hot tub, BBQ area, outside dining area, cycles, sun loungers, bowls area and seating outside the rooms, both the BBQ area and the bowls areas are in discrete areas so these may not be immediately apparent, it is well worth a little scout round on arrival. Complimentary tea, coffee and iced flavoured water are available in the kitchen area where breakfast is served. You have access to the kitchen area 24 hours a day. Staying at this hotel is a bit like being at a house guest, you have access to all areas and come and go as you please. The cycles are free to use and provide an alternative means of going downtown which is a little over a mile away. The downtown area has a profusion of restaurants for you to choose from. Local shops and restaurants are across the road, so you have a number of options available for dining. Breakfast was great and was a continental style, but you have access to a kitchen so you can prepared what ever you bring. The hot tub is great as is the pool, with lots of sun beds complete with complementary towels. The rooms have standard double beds with each side having adjustable softness controls. Rooms have very quiet air con, fridge, shower, bath robes and flat screen TVs. The showers included bath gel, shampoo and conditioner. The owners had given a huge amount of thought into the attention to detail with this hotel in terms of its design, features and operation. The staff on arrival could not be more helpful, including giving detail instructions to the Outlet Mall, which my wife wanted, but I would have been happy not to know! Wish we could have stayed longer and would defiantly stay again if we visit California again. I rate this very highly and as a "Hidden Gem". This is the best hotel on our Californian road trip and is...

If you are looking for a trip that will relax, recharge, and rejuvenate your spirit and soul, look no further. Although I am more accustomed to larger facilities and resorts, I was pleasantly surprised by the responsiveness of the staff at this hotel. Abdi and Ashley are there for you whenever you need anything. Staying at Dive, you feel like family rather than just another hotel customer.

The pool was extremely clean, perfect temperature, and accessible morning, noon, and night. The hot tube was a perfect relaxing way to finish off a day in the desert. If you enjoy hiking, Abdi will have a few recommendations for you and your group (make sure to ask about the hike with a waterfall, yes I said waterfall in the middle of the desert!)

Perhaps my favorite part of my trip was my room. A huge bed that makes you feel like your are sleeping on a cloud that slowly let's your body sink into one of the best sleeps you have had in a while. The bathroom and shower were spotless and had high quality shampoos and soaps (leave your products at home). My room had it's own outdoor area as well, if I wanted to get some sun in privacy. Fyi, there are no TVs in the room. This made it a lot easier to connect with the beautiful scenery and ambiance Palm Springs is known far. This is the place to come to if you need that day or two to get away from it all. Can't...

Two days after getting married my fiancé and I drove from the Bay Area to Palm Springs to stay here. We came in with a slightly negative outlook, due to us drastically reducing the scope of our honeymoon plans in response to COVID. Our disappointment almost immediately dissipated when we walked into the resort.

First is amazing service. We were hours later than expected and they called us to ensure we could safely and securely enter the property. It was an easy walk by a koi pond and pool to our room. I was impressed by the design and decor from the French Riviera style to the spacious tiled shower. Our first morning went like this:

We walked 10 feet to a large personal cabana I walked across the grass to put in our breakfast order. We both ordered as much on the menu as we liked. It was a perfect meal to start the day. We had a dip in the pool, which was the perfect set temperature considering the heat. We took a short 5-10min drive to the nearby restaurants and stopped at the dog-friendly Boozehounds for lunch We returned for a nap, then back to the cabana and pool for a late night swim

It is a lovely spot and I highly recommend going before it gets more attention and has a busier schedule. We will 100% be going back, it may become an annual...
