Lido Palms Resort and Spa, Desert Hot Springs

My gf & I have visited Lido Palms 3 times in 2 months, this place is great! Relax in mineral pools, sun yourself while reading a book in this beautiful 'ZeN' setting. The Grounds are fantastic, rooms are spacious and clean complete w/full size kitchens. Owners are friendly people w/ full attention to the details along w/ great deal of respectful to guest privacy.

it's OK hotel! it has nothing special and it's way too pricy! 5 stars? you are kiding!

I've been to Palm Springs before and stayed at several places - Hope Springs, Ace Hotel and the Parker. But I've got to say that Lido Palms is one of my most favorite! It's relaxation by the pool, under the palms with an expansive view towards the mountains and desert. The owners are very friendly and accomodating. One of the best parts is the fully equiped kitchen/dining in each bedroom: our party of 12 grilled bbq out by the pool one night, made margaritas in the blender, and woke up to brew fresh coffee and make huevos rancheros.

Four of us spent the weekend at Lido Palms. This was my first time going to a Spa. It was wonderful. It was a must on having rooms on a ground floor for all us. "BOY" what a room! We could not have asked for anything better. I did miss having a phone in the room, because two of us are handicap and in different rooms. I know that I will be coming back again. I'm telling all my friends about Lido Palms Hotel.

For our spring break from law school, my fiance and I wanted to be able to sit by a pool all day and night and take a break from thinking. After researching Las Vegas we realized the prices were beyond our budget ($200+/night) and that we would most likely have to fight for poolside chairs, deal with expensive drinks, and listen to other people's children. (Note: we actually love kids! We just really wanted to get away!) We then researched Desert Hot Springs and found Lido Palms. We booked a two-night stay based on advertising describing inexpensive clean rooms and very reasonable massage/spa treatment rates. The experience absolutely exceeded our expectations. Lido Palms is not your typical location for spring breakers. Instead of crowded pools and patios, Lido Palms immediately felt like it belonged to us. Our room was spacious with a fully loaded retro-looking kitchen that had everything we needed--including a bottle opener. The pools were amazing. The silky water and all the flotation devices at our disposal (available without having to pay a rental fee) made us feel like kids again (well...at least no longer in our 20's) as we waded for hours while sipping our drinks and eating the fresh fruit we brought from home. When we did leave the Lido Palms, we were able to drive about 5 minutes to Palm Springs to experience a more "spring-break" environment and grab a good meal at a trendy restaurant. It was good to know that if we needed a little excitement, we could just drive over to Palm Springs but in the end, it wasn't necessary. Last, the service was amazing. Because Lido Palms is quite small (11 rooms), you really feel like the place is all yours and also the staff is there for you only. Martin, the Manager, went above and beyond for us, whether it was to find the best massage therapist for me, guide us to the best restaurants, or to simply give us a tour of the place. Jill, the Owner, is incredibly friendly and her dog, Lucy, is so sweet. Also, Rosa was always willing to see if you needed anything. If it was possible, we would have stayed in the pools all day and night relaxing, soaking up the minerals, and watching as the local roadrunners came to be fed. We will definitely be back to the Lido Palms. Personally, I would suggest visiting for any young couples looking to get away or for a group of friends looking for a chill, relaxed place to lay by the pool and barbecue all day and night. Lido Palms is exactly what you need to feel as if you are away from it all.

Lido Palms is deeply quiet and aesthetically beautiful. It is clean, respectful of the human spirit and never fails to rejuvenate body and spirit.

Very quiet , clean , friendly service , cozy rooms . Fill lake Honeymoon .We can't wait to go back! but all rooms is sold out .

I've been coming to Lido Palms every year for well over 10 years. The kitchenettes are comfortable and airy, the grounds are pleasant, and the pools are just lovely--three pools (one in-doors) that offer different temperatures. This is not a high-end, lavish resort: it is a relaxing, unpretentious oasis where you can enjoy yourself without spending a fortune. It's one of my favorite hotels.

This place is not for party animals and anyone wanting a wildly entertaining time but for those who like a quiet, calm very pleasant environment, a place to relax and recharge. The rooms have no phones and no internet but they are very large and well appointed. The rooms all include a fully equipped kitchen. Every room is poolside. The swimming pool is warm mineral water with a small cactus garden next to it. There is a hot mineral tub outside and another one inside. The place is also graced by a couple of beautiful cats. This hotel seems to be designed for the literary minded, with a small reading library and a lot of writer guests. The Lido Palms has just enough simplicity and just enough luxury to make any guest happy and the management are kind and considerate. I especially enjoyed swimming under the bright desert stars at night as well as lounging around the pool during the day. Truly one of the great little hotels of the world.

I was a bit apprehensive about going to a spa. Frankly, I don't look all that great in a bathing suit. What if everyone else had a perfect body in a size 2 thong? I need not have worried. The Lido Palms is a relaxed place where cellulite is perfectly normal and acceptable. Most of the guests in the eleven rooms are retirees, and most stay 2-3 months at a time. (It's easy to see why!) Jill, the owner, is friendly and helpful. The three pools are an absolute delight. The largest, a 42' swimming pool, is kept at about 90 degrees, while the jacuzzi (outdoor) and spa (indoor) are a bit warmer. There are lots of flowers and bird feeders to attract wildlife, and that adds to the relaxation. If any tension remains after you soak for a few hours, you can get a splendid full hour massage right in your room for a very reasonable $75. Be prepared for a long nap afterward. There is a computer terminal in the lobby but no Internet (and no phones) in the rooms. There is a fairly large lending library for light reading(honor system). You do need a car here, as restaurants and shopping are a bit far. But so are noise and bustle and traffic and congestion. This is a place to relax and recharge your batteries. I hope to return for a longer stay soon.
