First and foremost I would like to thank Kent and Charles for such an amazing experience. You both are beyond accommodating and super sweet. Thank you hosting us at the Santiago ! It was our first time in Palm Springs and the Santiago by far over exceeded our expectations. It was so great we even extended our stay for another week. The resort is centrally located to everything, It is modern chi’c, the rooms were beyond spacious, the environment was friendly, the grounds are well maintained, the staff is amazing, breakfast and lunch offered daily and to add you get to choose your lunch from an outside restaurant. If you are looking for a place to getaway, get some sun, relax by the pool, hang out at night in the hot tub or by the fire pit, meet new people and surround your self with great company this is the place to be!
This place is so amazing! We stayed for two nights and couldn’t have asked for a better experience. The place is beautiful and so well maintained. Our room was huge and a super comfy bed. The staff we all wonderful. Breakfast and lunch are included, both of which were great. There’s also a little cantina with lots of snacks and drinks that are complimentary which was nice. It’s a clothing optional resort but doesn’t have the seediness that can come with that. The pool is perfect for laying out at and soaking up the sun. I’d highly recommend staying here and I will definitely be back again.
Nice clean friendly place. Room was modern and clean and staff was friendly and quick to enforce the house rules. A little too small overall but we loved the pool. And breakfast and lunch was included and it was awesome.
Cant say enough good things about Santiago.This was our first trip to Palm Springs and wont be the last !Coming from Florida we liked the warm temps.The place is beautiful. The staff is out standing !I would recommend to anyone looking to vacation with our family.Till next year :) Thank you guys.
What an enchanting place. It is the best of the best all men’s resorts I’ve stayed in in California. Extremely well taken property with excellent landscaping. They have a great snack area you can use 24 hours a day. Heated pool, fire pit, jacuzzi and outdoor shower with a cedar floor the amenities are classy and very masculine . The staff is super helpful and knowledgeable about Palm Springs and the area. They have bikes to use with locks and all the guests there where do great when we stayed there.masculine furniture and art was amazing and comfortable too.
Weve stayed at the Santiago twice now. Once last summer, and the second time just last weekend.This past weekend seemed slightly busier.At 3pm (check-in time), the batch of guests leaving and the batch of guests just arriving were all there at the property at the same time.When we checked the Cantina (free snack bar) at around 4pm or so (an hour after check-in), it was already low on certain items. They had plenty of other snacks, but they were basically out of my favorite snack/drink when Im there (a Perrier and a cookie). They had 1 Perrier and 2 cookies left. So I only got to enjoy that once during the stay. We like our munchies.There are a lot of really nice things about the Santiago. Its probably (among) the nicest/swankiest clothing-optional gay resort youll find in the area (based on our limited experience of staying at 3 of these resorts).That said, they are usually the most expensive of the clothing-optional gay resorts. While it is expensive, weve chosen to stay at the Santiago (twice) because its renovated, its got a calm and cool (maybe even romantic) vibe, and honestly, the Cantina and free lunch the next day.BTW, we didnt get our lunch either. We had to check out by 11am per rules, but lunch doesnt come until 1230/1pm. We couldnt wait that long and were hoping to take our lunches to go so we can get on the road before traffic gets bad. It would be perfect if the Cantina is always fully-stocked and check-out is after lunch.
I will only stay here! Fantastic staff, amazing heated pool. Wish I had found it sooner!
Love the people and positive energy at Santiago. Beautiful property and best continental breakfast Ive ever had!
Santiago was a really great getaway. Its very peaceful. The staff were friendly and accommodating. I found it hard to tear myself away from the pool and the view of the mountains until the sun went down. And, after getting back at night, I was back in the pool looking up at all the stars. Its a really special place and I hope to be back soon.
It was wonderful I enjoyed the vibes and and scenery around the hotel the room was very comfortable and clean. I was looking forward to the jacuzzi and I fortunately for me it was out of identity whole trip and was the main reason I picked Santiago. I am happy with the staff they are very friendly and welcoming and provide top quality service. I recommend if ever in Palm Springs this is the place to stay.
Very nice. Love the breakfast. The pool is perfect. The staff has been wonderful.
I just can’t think of any criticism. Not one fault I can think of and I usually look at thinks with a critical eye wondering how I’d do things differently. Can’t think of anything I would change. A beautiful redo of a property from another era, so bathroom is small by today’s standards, but not uncomfortable. Pool is huge and heated.
The Santiago is always a great experience. We have stayed there several times. The service is consistent, the staff is very friendly, and the property is very well maintained. Also included are a light breakfast and lunch. Kent and his team are always friendly and helpful.The recent renovations have even elevated experience.
Absolutely loved our stay here. Wonderful atmosphere and environment. The team were really welcoming and friendly, the room spotless and the bed comfortable. As a rule, we never stay at the same place twice as we like to explore new hotels and destination, but we will happily return here. Highly recommended.
Perfect size. Not too big or too small. Clean and well maintained. Nice continental breakfast and lunch included.
Kent and his staff are great. The resorts is clean and very spacious. Good group of people we have met each time we have been there. Very welcoming atmosphere. The breakfast, lunch and snacks which are included are great bonus too!
1st time visit. Amazing!! Kent is so welcoming and inviting! Whatever you need the staff is there to help you. Not a party scene, very relaxing and low key. Will be back. Thank You so much to Ryan & Kent for making our anniversary get a way wonderful!! I highly recommend this resort if you are looking for a relaxing getaway. Richard & Doug.
Woderful place, and very nice staff. Clean too!
We enjoyed our stay immensely. Kent and his staff made every possible effort to make the stay enjoyable. The property is beautifully landscaped and maintained. Breakfast provided a great selection of fresh fruit, bread, cereals, yogurt options and Bob makes sure you have everything you need. The other guests were friendly and sociable. Fantastic stay
Excellent staff. Great quiet private location only 1.5 miles from the bar scene. Breakfast provided and lunch if you are staying the next night. Relaxing atmosphere around the pool day and night. Rooms are well kept and very clean. Book way in advance due to demand. Liberal refund policy.
This place is simply amazing, it was my first visit and Im truly impressed. The staff goes out of their way to ensure everyone has a great time and has everything they need. The decor and room design is outstanding and newly renovated. I especially appreciated the daily complimentary breakfast, lunch and 24 hour snacks/beverages provided. Cant wait for my next visit!
Santiago can always be counted on to provide a relaxing get away. Having both breakfast and lunch included makes staying there a pleasure. Whenever we travel to Palm Springs Santiago is always our first choice. Its closeness to Palm Canyon is an additional plus3.
Great place for a relaxing time. The service was great, and the firm bed was super comfortable!
Highly recommended for whom wants to experience the men only clothing optional resort. Helpful and friendly staffs, well maintained environment. and Nice guests .
Love this place. My first time to stay here was after they opened in the 90s. Its even better now. Lush landscaping & nicely appointed rooms. The staff is helpful, polite, & fun.
Private secluded property. The check in by Kent was very welcoming. He took his time to explain everything about the property and amenities. First class welcome. Kent and his team strive for perfection. There is always one of the team cleaning the property and tending to the gardens. The pool is substantial and the bathing areas are superb with comfy poolside beds. The rooms are very spacious and clean. This property and it’s team are highly recommended. Would definitely visit again. Superb.
The staff was very friendly and helpful. I would totally recommend to stay here
What a gem of a place! I love everything about it. The common areas are beautifully landscaped and very peaceful. The staff are super friendly and accommodating. My massage was among the best Ive ever had. The wine was excellent (with very generous pours). My room was everything I wanted, comfortable, spacious, and super cute. Each room even has a large private patio attached. I will definitely stay here again!!!
Always a wonderful stay; the amenities are great and the staff is super friendly (or helpful if you lock yourself out of your room a few times)
The staff was always checking if we needed any help or if everything was ok. Would like to come back soon
My favorite clothing optional gay resort. It’s well maintained and classy and isn’t a “resort of il repute” like some others in the region can be. Usually a crowd of well established men over 40. Great continental breakfast and lunch option.
Very pleasant surroundings. Friendly and helpful staff. Comfortable rooms and relaxed atmosphere. The generous cantina where snacks were available 24/7 was a plus. Really enjoyed our stay!
We visited in January to take a break from Denver winter. We brought lots of sunscreen and some beautiful sarongs. Unfortunately it gets cold and rainy in the desert sometimes. The Santiago staff does a great job of keeping the property looking amazing. We cant wait to get back when its warmer!
This resort is Amazing !! Very clean and private Kent and staff are the best, always there for your every need. They make sure that you have everything you need and enjoying your stay. This place has it all. You don’t even have to leave the resort Thanks guys for making us fall in love with this place. We have already booked here for our next trip. I can see this will definitely be our home away from home. ️Thanks. Andrew and Reg
Walkable to downtown Palm Springs. Wonderful pool and excellent room.
It’s a beautiful property with very nice rooms! Staff is awesome! Breakfast, lunch and snacks included daily! Great pool!!
Staff and service is great. The resort is just the right size and the staff is superb. Very welcoming and kind. The room was fantastic. Great to have breakfast and lunch provided too. Nothing fancy but hits the spot. Well be back.
Amazing customer service and relaxing. Definitely coming back.
We stayed for a week. The resort was very nice, clean and well maintained. Our room was very cozy with a sitting area, comfortable bed and large shower. Complimentary breakfast and lunch were a big plus and delicious. Kent, the General Manager is super sweet and has the best recommendations for dinner spots. We would definitely stay again on our next visit to Palm Springs.
Clean and relaxing environment that doesnt menace guests with endless rules, policies and curfews.
Have stayed here multiple times. Couldnt think of anywhere else I would stay in Palm Springs. Kudos to the management for always providing an excellent stay!
Luv yhe staff...very kind and over accommodating!!!! Luv the owner. Im a regular now
Have been coming here for years. In fact, I met my husband at this very resort.Was fearful when I heard new owners took over because I always really liked this place. Thrilled to say the new owners have made this place even better. From the second we entered the property the service has been wonderful. And THAT is a rarity in Palm Springs.The grounds are beautifully maintained, the room is clean and well appointed. And the gardens and foliage is abs purity gorgeous.Its quiet and peaceful and they even serve a very nice continental breakfast and lunch!Love this place!
Its kind of pricey but the place is very clean and they have a great breakfast food selection. It is small maybe 14 or 16 rooms nice clean pool and jacuzzi. Theres a fire pit and the guys I met were nice. They put out fresh towels for the guests so you dont have to go back to your room to get a towel. It is a gay mens resort.
My partner and I have been going to Palm Springs for 5 years and have stayed at another resort and we needed a change for a more modern resort and came across Santiago. So we booked a 5 day stay during the Memorial Day weekend. We had such an amazing time the staff was amazing and very accommodating. The resort served a bountiful continental breakfast and ordered in a boxed lunch daily from a wonderful gourmet deli it was delicious. The snack room stayed open 24/7 with unlimited soft drinks, water, coffee, tea, hot cocoa & snacks. The rooms were so spacious clean and with modern plush bedding it was so comfortable. The bathroom which is important was large and spacious with a modern shower and all amenities. The grounds were well kept and the pool was always sparkling. The resort was sold out and the guest were very fun to hang with and socialize no attitude. We will definitely be booking another stay in the future.
Great resort! Amazing staff! Comfortable rooms. Amazing staff! Blazing heat in August. Amazing staff! Cant wait for my next stay.
Love this place nice rooms quiet not the norm warm sands whorey place . its got some class .
Great place. Owners are nice. Breakfast and lunch included. If the pool had some shady areas it would be a perfect place.
The Santiago is a boutique men’s “swimsuit optional” hotel located in the quiet neighborhood of East San Lorenzo in Palm Springs, CA ... just minutes away from downtown.Men of all shapes, sizes and ages (18 years and older) can and will feel comfortable enjoying the warm desert sun and refreshing waters of the resort’s large swimming pool and 6+person soothing spa in a swim suit optional setting. I know firsthand, because I did!! I will come back again and again in the future. Why you ask?? Because, in the wintertime I live just five blocks away from the Santiago Resort!!Also for your information, I am a “vertically challenged,” “pear shaped” man of that certain age, who stopped counting his birthdays at “39.” So, if I can feel comfortable at a “swim suit optional” resort … any man can!!Lastly, any resort could have the best facilities, grounds, guest services, amenities, etc., but without a guest centered, quality focused, pro-active staff … it will ultimately come up short in meeting “guest experience” expectations … period.In my opinion, “Team Santiago” … Kent, Grant, Bob, Dave, Nigel, Rick, Oscar and Zack … are all at the top of their game in the men’s “swim suit optional” resort business!!So … it goes for the Santiago Resort in Palm Springs, California, too!!!
Great gay mens resort in Palm Springs area.
I thought this place was wonderful. Staff was great they did an amazing job. Very low key here other guest were friendly. The landscape is stunning with the pool and the mountains also probably one of the best pools around. Breakfast is good and the lunch is even better it comes in handy. Can easily save money for lunch. I would definitely be staying here again.
The facilities and staff were excellent. A perfect place to relax and enjoy your stay in Palm Springs!
Great place and lovely experience staying here. Staff are welcoming and the size of the hotel allows you to get to know fellow guests
I planned a mid-week getaway for myself to relax, reflect and recharge. I had never been to a gay resort and did a lot of research of reviews to ensure this would be the relaxing trip I desired.Upon arriving early I was surprised to find my room ready early and they were more than happy to accommodate me. I chose a downstairs suite in the corner away from the pool for the extra quite. Unfortunately this is the -1 star part. The walls/ceilings are thin and I could hear footsteps among other noises easily. They also had to replace a large piece of machinery that afternoon and it was right outside my window and lasted for hours.Now lets get back to the good stuff.The pool was perfectly clean and warm. The jacuzzi was a good temperature too. My favorite was having huge hammocks on the lawn. There was a gas powered fire pit that was great at night and they had a designated smoking table off to the side for those that need it. They are building an outdoor shower as well that was t quite ready for my visit.The cantina was a wonderful add. Tea, coffee, lemonade, snacks, pastries, cookies you name it were available all day everyday. The breakfast was lovely as well. They cater lunch everyday of your stay as part of the $8 resort fee.Most of the staff were really friendly and great. Shout out to Kent and Ryan and a couple other men that honestly never stopped working to ensure the grounds were kept immaculate. I literally saw them cleaning chlorine stains off the concrete and vacuuming the pool chairs daily!The guests were mostly older and pretty respectful and kept to themselves but I did meet a few and enjoyed our conversations.The bathroom was fully stocked with little chic bottles of soap. Robes were provided as well.I really dont think I could have asked for a better three days and two night get-away. Even on check out day they allowed me to sun bath til I was ready to leave.Thank you Santiago Resort. I hope to come back with my Husband later this year.
Ive stayed here every year for 20. Outstanding in every respect. Great, helpful staff, beautiful layout, clean, guests tend to interact because the place is so friendly. Highly recommend. Im here for 3 weeks this year and totally content.
Santiago is a clothing optional resort and hotel for gay men. We were there visiting a friend, so we didnt stay overnight, but we thought it was really nice, and with a fairly attractive crowd (if that matters to you). I wish it had a bar, but other than that I really enjoyed my time there and will seriously consider staying there the next time Im in Palm Springs
Amazing atmosphere. The staff is top notch and very welcoming. It was the perfect getaway for me and my boyfriend. Cant wait to go back!
Great facilities, good group of people, amazing 24 hour cantina for snacks
Accommodated us at the last minute. Very friendly hotel staff, good atmosphere and friendly guests. Ill happily stay again when I next visit Palm Springs.
We had an incredible stay and cant wait to go back!
Def u get what u paied for v clean friendly & knowledgeable staff great location great rooms loved the complimentary bfast & lunch
Enjoyed every minute we were at the resort. Staff was awesome, Beautiful property, Cozy room.
Staff made us feel as if we were guests in their homes. Very beautiful grounds and breakfast and lunch included.
Lovely resort and super friendly staff and guests. Very relaxing stay.
Second time back. Best resort. Feels comfortable and upscale. Its very private and quiet.
Not gay personally but ive done work on the place and its a great environment
Great location and really friendly staff. The guests are laid back and very welcoming.
Amazing resort, clean and with great atmosphere. The staff is incredibly nice and will do everything to make you feel home.One of the greatest things about this resort is the fact you dont see much of the staff hanging around you all the time. Theyre available of course yet let you feel totally home. Free snacks and drinks are available 24/7 whick makes it perfect... They eveb order you lunch so you wont have to leave the pool. Will definately come back.
Beautiful hotel. Rooms are comfortable Resort recently remodeled Highly recommend!
Excellent staff makes up for any shortcomings (not many) I do wish the spa was bigger. It is a little pricey but you get what you pay for when all amenities are considered.
This place is the best of all worlds.....feels a little boutiquey....also feels big enough to where you dont HAVE to be everyones best friend. Also, if you are squeamish about the clothing optional thing, its totally mellow and not weird at all. Go!
Great place! We loved it! Thanks for the hospitality, well be back :-)
Awesome courtyard! Amazing property.
Amazing place wonderfull staff
