Very nice accommodation, well appointed room with everything you could need.
Balcony faced the golf course with the pool club on the other side … music from the club started early in the morning and played all day and into the evening. Not the relaxing experience we were wanting.

Oasis in Hot Palm Desert
Great resort for golf and tennis. Well maintained and condo was fantastic. Palm Desert is just too hot in the summer, to enjoy this location. Great in the right season.
