The Vista Grande Resort was such a great experience. I would 10/10 Recommend if you need a weekend away at this all gay mens resort. The rooms were spacious and super clean and the staff were beyond amazing. The breakfast in the morning was great to enjoy by the pool and you also have the option for lunch by the pool as well. Sanitizer was everywhere all over the resort and the chairs were spaced 6 ft apart. Masks were required while walking around the resort which was great. Tom and Calvin were great and always willing to answer any questions we had or concerns. Ill definitely be looking to stay here again on another weekend.

When visiting Palm Springs there are a ton of options for clothing optional gay resorts, but this was by far my best experience. First you are greeted by the super sweet and accommodating staff. They totally put you at ease and treat you like a king (or queen...lol). The entire property is extremely well cared for and kept impeccable. By far the cleanest resort in Palm Springs I have visited. The rooms are also clean and comfortable. The pools are kept up and so is the hottub. But whats even more noticeable was the clientele. A total wide range of men and all were friendly and social. The resort provided us with a better than average continental breakfast and brought in lunch. We found enough room to social distance if thats something you need. The staff wore masks the whole time.

Facility and room was clean and spacious. Would love to see upgrades to the in-room television as the audio quality was low to the cable TV connection. Area was perfect to just relax by any of the pools. Staff was courteous and were always available.

Tremendous staff, beautiful resort, good selection of rooms from regular to large suites. Used to be 3 resorts, so there are 2 pools, one waterfall, a hot tub, a steam room. Because of Covid, steam room was closed, and only breakfast served, socially distanced. Before there was also communal dinner and happy hour. Most guests and ask staff adhered to the mask mandate when walking around the grounds. I think they did the best they canunder the circumstances. My favorite place toy stay when in Palm Springs. Clothing optional, no day passes, but no problem getting frisky anywhere

I had clients who stayed at the Vista Grande Resort on Warm Sands and they called me for an outcall massage to their room. The parking is right in front and the walkways inside the resort are slate or stone surrounded by lots of foilage. The lighting of the walkways and the main pool area were moderate with a tranquil vibe. Their villas had a front living room adjoined to the kitchen and all was tiled. I set up the massage in the living room & the air conditioner was blowing nice and cool. The bedroom & bathroom was toward the back of the unit. The bathroom was smallish with a shower but adequate for sure. They had stayed at the Vista Grande before and they said it was by far their favorite resort on warm sands! I liked it as well!Sterlings PS massage.

Well I thought I give this a try. My uncle Bob passed as you all know him every well the most kindest man you will ever know. When he passed We didnt even receive a phone call from his husband Robert. It is so Unthoughtful to this day that you could not reach out to his sister Cathy. My Uncle Bob is are flesh and blood and we have no closure what happened on his final days. We sent cards to you no Response still to this day. My heart goes out to you for your loss of your best friend husband I get it but he has family other then yours. I hope you have it in you to reach out to his sister. I love you Robert but its time to reach out to my uncle family.

We had a great time and felt very pampered by the staff. Great food and the multiple meals a day saves a lot of free time and money. The grounds are nicely maintained and inviting. Like the spa area especially. Rooms are dated but very comfortable and fit with the overall history of Palm Springs.

Vista Grande Resort is a very special place. They have taken three different Resorts and combine them into a very large and spacious area. They have three swimming pools waterfalls steam room sauna and the rooms are very well decorated and range from small rooms two large rooms. The owner has been there for many many years and the staff is very courteous and kind to the guess I would highly recommend it as a place especially for the glbtq community but everyone is welcome.

This was a great long weekend getaway! That staff was awesome and helped us with anything we asked for. The food that was included in our stay was amazing. The atmosphere is relaxing and the pools and hot tub are lively! Highly recommend and we will most definitely come back next year!

Great place to stay! The whole experience was really nice - great environment, very friendly staff, awesome food, clean facilities and comfortable rooms. The lush vegetation everywhere and flowers gave me the best of two worlds - a stay in the desert at a tropical paradise. 2 pools and the lagoon pool with waterfall were all sparkling clean and refreshing. Definitely the place to stay in Palm Springs!

A great experience, staff and environment were fabulous. Food on the weekend lead to some good conversations. The weather was so good for laying by the pool and reading. I was housed in one of the more modest rooms and guys it really is time to spend some money on the room. Air conditioning worked well but lights didnt and the prominent steel kitchenette looked like something straight out of The Adventures of Ozzie and Harriet

A wonderful stay, low key atmosphere, with the most friendly staff and other residents. Our room was super spacious which made us feel like we werent in a hotel, but rather in an apartment get-a-way. The different meal options were a splendid treat, although, it would have been nice to eat outside on one of the weekend days, or do a pre-dinner happy hour gathering by the pool, maybe like out on the grill (and have a vegetarian option). The staff were absolutely wonderful, and anything needed was quickly taken care of. The option of breakfast delivery to the room is such a splendid idea!!! Will definitely return, and certainly recommend the resort.

Not typically someone who stays at the resorts. I would say that Vista Grande has to be one of the nicest of the ten or so that I’ve seen. The rooms are clean. The staff is nice. All the price is really reasonable considering it’s all inclusive. Your meals are included and the food is really good. They have a chef and meals are served in the dining hall or out by the pool. It gives you the opportunity to mingle with other guests or you can have it delivered to your room. Incidentals are available in the lobby. I believe they even have the old school VHS tapes to check out or you can stream movies in the rooms. Wifi is available. And parking is included and security cameras plus staff keep an eye out. There are three separate areas for swimming which includes two separate areas. One is the main resort and the other is across the street and a smaller, quieter structure of less than ten apartment style rooms. Yes apartments. Ours had a living room with fireplace, kitchen which you could prepare your meals but why, a full bath and bedroom. The bedroom had a sliding glass door which lead to a shared backyard area. There are a lot of options when looking for a Resort in Palm Springs and several men’s resorts exist. If you want to be in Warm Sands, but you want higher quality accommodations and a friendly, professional staff, check out Vista Grande.

Great place to relax. It was peaceful yet fun. The staff were super friendly and helpful. They also laid on a breakfast and very tasty lunch each day that I hadn’t been expecting. Left there very relaxed, tanned and happy.

My partner and I just stayed there for the Memorial Day weekend and the staff were so accommodating to us it was a very relaxing and fun vacation for us for 4 days the resort has changed drastically and they give you three meals a day which are all excellent I would highly recommend Vista Grande Resort to anyone who wants to stay there

A milestone birthday called for a milestone event and I found that at Vista Grande resort.I knew I would be there during some very hot days, literally, but had projects to work on. I read reviews of the various resorts and settled on VG because the grounds looked inviting and the email I sent with a question was promptly replied to. Another resort did not reply, then tried to tell me they did not receive the e mail....On arrival I was taken to my very comfortable room then given a very relaxed and informative tour.Over the next few days I met some very nice people, got a lot of work done, spent mornings and evenings in the pool and hot tub-in other words Vista Grande was more than I had hoped for and they very friendly staff have assured that I will be a repeat guest!

If you wanted to experience a gay resort but were afraid to for whatever reason, this is the resort for you. Theyre very welcoming. You dont have to worry about body image. They have different flavors of meat there. They offer free meals during your stay. The resort could use some updating on the decor, however. Overall, a great experience for any gay guy. They could lower the price, too.

Well maintained old Palm Springs Gay resort. This place is a classic and near enough to downtown to walk for dinner walk we weren’t so lazy. Checked in and checked out from the hectic craziness of the world.

I was only in Palm Springs overnight for business purposes. But I decided it would be fun to stay at one of these clothing optional gay resorts. Being mid week, it was pretty quiet. But it was relaxing.

Review №39

The stay at Vista Grande was relaxing and enjoyable. The staff went above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable. The 2 different pool areas, 1 with music and smoking allowed and 1 that was quiet and smoke-free, allowed us to lounge poolside based on our mood.The weekend brunch was very plentiful with fresh fruit, cereals, oatmeal, waffles, eggs, omelets, bacon, coffee, juices and mimosas. The room was very dated and needed to be renovated. 2 of the 3 windows did not open. Door stops were falling off, the shower curtain had large mold spots. Sheets and towels were not high quality.

Spent a relaxing week here and the staff did an excellent job making sure I was comfortable. The renovated rooms are bright and airy. I happened to be in a non-renovated room which was ok but it was definitely time for a fix-up. The staff provides a nice breakfast, lunch and even dinner in the weekends. The resort has definitely stepped up its game over the past several years. I will definitely consider staying here again on future Palm Springs getaways. Special thanks to Tom and the guys for accommodating me for the week

Went during the weekday and it was safe, quiet, and comfortable walking around. Its completely safe to be naked and walking around the grounds. LOVED the hot tub and sauna the most. Next time I come with my boyfriend, Ill try both naked only.

Review №44

Id never stayed at a gay resort and knew next to nothing about Palm Springs. I needed someplace quiet and relaxing, but centrally located. The party resorts held no interest to me. Vista Grande looked the best online for my needs, and it far exceeded my expectations. The grounds are green and lush, the facilities were clean and top notch, the fellow guests were friendly and outgoing, and staff goes above and beyond to make you comfortable. Add in the fact that breakfast and lunch are provided every day, plus dinner on the weekends....it was also a great value. The place is currently going through some renovations to make it even better, but that work never interrupted my stay or relaxation. I stayed for 5 nights and literally did not want to leave. I cant wait to come back.

I have stayed at multiple PS resorts over the last five years and have never been able to find the “perfect to me” place until Vista Grande. What a delight! The place is clean, welcoming and accommodating. The staff is superb! Talk about service and manners, they treat you like family!I am kind of an extrovert and found myself chatting with other guests many of whom have been staying at Vista Grande for years. I can clearly see why!No, I did not get a discount to write this review nor am I affiliated other than by a new friendship with Vista Grande staff.I can say without a doubt that I finally found my favorite spot to stay in Palm Springs. Contrary to other places showing you gorgeous pictures (almost like dating ads or real estate ads) the description on the website are accurate, in fact, I found the facilities more appealing in person than in the website which has been the complete opposite in previous resorts.The big pluses for me were:Breakfast and Lunch (Dinner on weekends).Multiple areas to relax (quiet/non-smoking and music/smoking).Plenty of lounge chairs, umbrellas, eating outside tables.Gorgeous grounds with plenty of flowers and birds (especially hummingbirds).Wifi !!! (Yes, the wifi actually works in the entire place at 25Mbps+).Last but not least, the staff! You guys rock!The big minuses were:I wanted to stay longer (Joke), I cannot say I found any deal breakers.Sincerely,J

I like the Vista Grande its a nice place I think its mostly for older crowd though the rooms are rather expensive for what they are they are nice but!
