Beautiful grounds and a phenomenal Olympic size pool with seating, umbrellas and tables surround it. Lotions and drinks were provided pool side with relaxing music.
After a long afternoon watching the tennis tournament, we returned to the hotel and tried to get seated for a small bite or drink at about 7:00 PM. We were told we could not walk up without a reservation even though there were plenty of available tables. I then asked if we could sit and have a drink and we were told no. Very disappointing to not be able to relax at your own hotel restaurant and/or bar. It may have been a staffing shortage, but no information was given.

Second year staying here for the beginning of tennis qualifying matches for the BNP Paribas, Indian Wells tournament and still love the decor and ambiance of this stay! Beds are comfortable, attention to detail is amazing, and staff is very friendly! The smell of the orange blossoms or jasmine is wonderful too... but did not try any of the spa treatments. Food is really, really good and loved the offer to split salad and entree to save.
Resort fees obviously were over the top and unknown to us until check-in! Appreciated the tennis ball style cake pops in the room but we know we paid for them (resort fee plus tax; $47.23!). After we left we were billed for waters we did not take from the mini-bar. Mini-bar and buffet in room was over the top and we really did not need so many temptations - not enough room to put our own stuff and moved there candy and lotions around. Staff removed extra charges but we felt like we were being bled for more cash after check out! Very expensive - could not justify paying for extras or spa treatments. I am sorry to say we likely will try something new next year.

Chic, boutique hotel with amazing pool, restaurant, beds, and staff. Shoutout to Gabby at the hotel's Pink Cabana Bar. She was absolutely amazing despite being the only bartender! I've never seen someone make drinks so fast and have everything taste to delicious. I tried about 5 or 6 different cocktails and every one of them was insanely good. Great food and the pool staff were able to bring food and drinks directly to the pool which was awesome!
Would have loved a gym and you can hear the doors of other rooms closing as they are quite heavy. Overall, small complaints and we had a lovely stay.
