When is the best time to go to Summit?

The best time to visit Summit truly depends on what sort of experience you're after, as it offers distinct attractions across its seasons. For those keen on winter sports, the prime time is typically from December through to early April. During these months, the area is blanketed in snow, providing excellent conditions for skiing, snowboarding, and other snow-based activities. The resorts are fully operational, and the landscape is particularly picturesque. If you're more interested in hiking, mountain biking, or enjoying the natural beauty without the snow, then late spring to early autumn—roughly May to October—is ideal. The weather is generally warm and sunny, superb for exploring the trails and lakes. Wildflowers are abundant in early summer, and the autumn colours in September and October are quite striking.

Can I cancel my hotel reservation on Expedia?

Many Expedia hotel reservations are refundable, provided that you cancel before the hotel’s cancellation deadline – this is often within 24-48 hours of your scheduled arrival. If you have a non-refundable booking, it might still be possible to receive a refund if you cancel it within 24 hours of booking. Be sure to check your booking confirmation for the exact cancellation policy. For maximum flexibility, use our "Fully refundable property" filter during your search to find the right Summit hotel for you.

Top Summit Hotel Reviews

Renaissance Esmeralda Resort & Spa, Indian Wells

10/10 Excellent

"My daughter and I had a great time staying here. The rooms were nice and clean. The staff were super friendly and accommodating, especially at the pool. This was a 10 out of 10 experience and would definitely stay here again"

The Dunes Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Eveything was clean and the staff was amazing!!! But let’s be honest the hotel is outdated. The gym needs at least a treadmill or bike or an elliptical I didn’t step foot inside because the peloton was broken and the row machine didn’t look appealing. The pool was great except the rails were outdated and need to be replaced not the railing itself but the covers were all ripped."

Hilton Vacation Club Palm Canyon Palm Springs

8/10 Good

"Some of our keys stopped working, so I had to go to the front desk a few times. The pool closing at 10 on a weekend isn’t ideal especially since it’s still hot at that time. The bar also adds automatic gratuity which I don’t agree with. There was not that many severs therefore, our breakfast took a little too long to arrive to us."

Omni Rancho Las Palmas Resort & Spa

10/10 Excellent

"We had heard amazing things about this resort and absolutely met every expectation. Front desk was so nice. Room was spacious and clean and fresh everything in the room worked great for our family of 4. The pools were so fun. Water was clean, a lot of sun beds available. We were there from around 4pm to 8pm and it was a great time. Overall. 10/10"

The Westin Desert Willow Villas, Palm Desert

10/10 Excellent

"Property is well maintained and staff were super nice. Would have preferred more dinning options other than pool restaurant and or a bar to enjoy drinks but this property is more of a timeshare feel for sure. Full kitchen and adjoining rooms were nice. More shade for car parking would be nice too since the heat is sometimes unbearable. But plenty of it so it wasn’t too much of a problem. Was surprised at the $30 a day fee for parking. That wasn’t disclosed when we made reservations but it was ok since the property is private and gated. So we felt safe."
