Colony Palms Hotel & Bungalows

t comfortable and made special accommodations for us. Bianca from the Restaurant- she was amazing. There was 16 of us and made sure we were all taking care of. Made sure we all had drinks and made sure we were all good. With her bubbly personality made us feel so welcomed and special. Thank you Bianca for your amazing service we truly appreciate you. Thank you Colony Palms

showed before noon and she still got us straight into our room after upgrading us to a Bungalow. The greenery is breathtaking throughout the courtyard, including their blooming birds of paradise! The Le Labo amenities are a wonderful touch. Very cute aesthetic, feeling nostalgic rather than dated. Great water pressure. Only mild disappointment were the bath towels, nice size but rough and not terribly absorbent. Despite being so near the pool and outdoor walkways, we never noticed any noise or neighbors. Poolside service was attentive and friendly, without being disruptive. Food was delicious as was the dinner service. Bar and wait staff were top-notch, especially Lisette. All in all, the quiet and relaxing day we needed after a jam-packed Palm Springs pride weekend.

nds are pretty. The pool is smaller than others but good service. It was good. Not sure if go back to this exact hotel though.

perfect location with easy access to downtown. Our first night, we were getting into bed when we found dried blood spots on the sheets, we called the front desk and they came to take pictures and brought new bedding, he was apologetic and i understand these things happen. I was most looking forward to our afternoon massage. I love spas and have been to quite a few over the years.. The spa was extremely disappointing, there were no amenities (no steam, no sauna in the spa) the robes were thin and very small, with only one size of slippers. Unfortunately neither of these fit my husband. In the waiting room, there was only room temp water bottles, no tea, no snacks. I booked a 60 minute deep tissue arnica massage. During the treatment my masseuse kept moving around, and like would rub for a minute or two then pause to fiddle around with something, it was distracting. I booked an add on (15 minutes) to have a longer foot massage but she thought it was a scalp treatment, so when it came to that part of the massage, she poured oil on my scalp, I reminded her that I booked an extra foot massage, she said I was wrong, only to admit a couple minutes later that she confused me with another client.. she then went to get supplies, then gave me a foot scrub instead of a longer foot massage, all these mishaps and we still ended exactly on time (75 minutes), I wasn't really sure what to say, straight after the massage you sign the receipt for the charge of service plus 20% tip. I don't believe that the spa or the service was worth the $500 I paid. If you're a spa person this one is a big skip for me.

t AMEX classified this as a Fine Hotel and Resort. Rooms - 2/5 - The bed was comfortable enough and I liked the Le Labo products - The furniture was cheap and the room was not in good condition - there were scuff marks on the walls, scratches on the door etc. - The bathroom was not great - the walls were not skim coated before the wallpaper was applied so the wallpaper was uneven and the seams were showing. The sconces were hung entirely too high. The shower had really dirty grout and some cracks in the tile. - As others have noted, the rooms are quite dark Pool - 4/5 - The pool was nice and calm since it's adults only - Pool itself was nice enough - hot tub was a little dingy. Location - 5/5 - Very close to DT Palm Springs and walkable to plenty of restaurants Parking - 3/5 - They require valet only. I get if it's in a congested city and / or it's a 5 star hotel - neither of which is the case here. - I will say they brought the car around very quickly when we called for it. Food - 2/5 - Brunch - was decent. I got the crab cake benedict one day and found a crab claw shell in my crab cake. Also - the brunch menu does not have many lighter options on it and it's the only menu available up to 3PM on weekends. Would be great to be able to get a sandwich or a salad on a hot day by the pool instead of chicken and waffles or crab cakes. - Lunch - we had the club and the shrimp tacos. The club and the fries were great. The shrimp in the tacos were undercooked and really off-putting - I couldn't eat much of it. - Dinner - the menu looked great. The appetizers we had all missed the mark - caesar salad was all anchovy and barely any parmesan or dressing, beef tartare tasted like French's yellow mustard and the focaccia was okay. The entrees were better - we had the lamb and the beef wellington which were good but they came with tiny little garnishes as sides. For the price, I was expecting better.
