Property is beautiful and we would stay again. There were a couple of things to take note of. At check in we were told we would be receiving breakfast baskets and would be texted the day before about delivery time. Unfortunately we were never contacted either day we stayed about this service. Another issue we encountered was during lunch. We ordered two tacos and when they came out they tasted a little off. When checking the food we discovered a clove. When we asked if this ingredient was supposed to be in the meal our waiter left to ask. After waiting over ten minutes for a response another staff member came back and we asked him the same question and he stated that was not supposed to be in our food. The previous waiter never came back. They were nice enough to discount the food but after that we decided not to eat on property.

Very nice people at front desk, wonderful room with kitchenette, close to all the action. Bed was super comfortable! Would definitely stay again.

Love coming to La Serena. This our third time. I feel like the staff was a little less friendly this last stay. The facility never disappoints. The restaurant was closed for a plumbing issue for the entire day and only limited beverages were available at the pool. For what you pay per evening, you would think they would have offered something to make up for the inconvenience. It was 105 each day we were there and stayed 3 days. Overall it is a great place to stay. Very intimate and clean facility.

Stayed here for 2 nights for a mini honeymoon right after our wedding, we also let the staff know before that we were celebrating. The property looked beautiful when we first arrived we parked out front,the front desk receptionist wasn’t very friendly she asked what make,model and color our car was I told her and then said “we just parked right out front” and she didn’t say anything. We then pulled our luggage up the steps and through the property to get to our room. It wasn’t till later we found out there were parking spaces in the back of the property right by our room. We stayed in room 14 with the outdoor spa. The room was beautiful and looked just like the photos but there was nothing special done for our honeymoon which was disappointing. The patio area was also very cute! The first day we got massages in what was a small room with independent contractors doing the massages (they let us know that they weren’t part of the hotel staff). It definitely wasn’t the experience I was expecting for a Michelin star hotel spa. Both nights I was woken up by what I thought was the shower on full blast but it was the air conditioner draining into the shower? It didn’t stop for hours I threw towels in the shower to soften the noise but it didn’t work.So we didn’t sleep either night.Also the left sinks water didn’t work out of one faucets & the spa light also didn’t turn on.The delivered “breakfast” to your door every morning which was a joke.

I have stayed here before and alot of the great little details were now removed . The hotel as luxurious as it could be now is just really basic . I would not spend 900 on a 2 day stay for all the basic things and details that stood it apart . I would have much rather stayed else where. Definitely not ever booking here again . The ac unit was not working in my first room and we had to downgrade to another room. The front desk personnel was rude and for this experience it’s not worth the money .

For the price the service was below average. They had minimal staff, the restaurant and bar didn’t have a lot of stuff that’s on their menu especially with drinks we would order a drink and on their menu and they didn’t have the ingredients to make it we ordered 4 different drinks they couldn’t even make. The house keeping was kinda minimal, the room had a wine fridge instead of a regular fridge.

There were mosquitoes in the room. My husband and I got bitten. The patio light was not working so we were not able to use the patio at night. Called office multi times but it never got fixed and we were there for 3 nights.

It’s a beautiful property with a pretty good restaurant. Enjoyed the villa very much except for two things. The mattress was uncomfortably hard and the pillows were terrible. The television is too small and it didn’t work well. Hard time changing channels. The WiFi was terrible, absolutely didn’t work. Did not get a good nights sleep. Everything else was exceptional.
8.0
Beautiful property and nice villa. Prior Kirkland ownership reviews raved about the place, breakfast and the service and comparatively it seems less than before. Found the staff very friendly and helpful, some fixes needed in the units, sinks not draining, tv not working well, furnishings, while lovely could use a refresh.

Okay, to begin with we liked the property & Palm Springs. Although a bit chilly, we went in mid January, it was bright and sunny every day and CLEAR-you can see for miles around. The property consists of 1 story 'bungalows' and 'cottages' from the 30's but completely reconstructed in 2016. The cottage we stayed in consisted of a large bedroom and a large bath area connected by a utility hallway and a cozy outside fire pit area. Good size for a couple, not for a family. Daily Housekeeping is included though we had to keep reminding them of the need for more than 1 facecloth/washcloth. The bed was very comfortable and the shower was modern. Daily delivery of a continental breakfast is a nice touch, a Keurig coffee maker (they also provided free fresh coffee at the on-site restaurant Azucar if you wish) and fresh bottled water is also a plus. A fridge is included but NO MICROWAVE made for some wasted leftovers from restaurants.Staff was quite friendly and cordial. After a few days there it felt a bit cramped so we would not spend a week there again. The room rate varied from $335 to $803 per night PLUS a daily $48 resort fee and avg $63/day taxes. Overall Price would have been $620 higher had it not been for our Expedia member pricing. The property is VERY convenient to downtown area so we were able to walk to every restaurant, museum/attraction there, you will need an Uber to the airport (10 min) and rent a car to go to Joshua Tree National Park or the PS Tramway as we did.

Our visit exceeded all expectations. Staff, accommodations and all amenities were outstanding. Great location, and just a beautiful property. We enjoyed the onsite restaurant, spa and grounds. It doesn't get any better than this for downtown Palm Springs.

The room we stayed in had a problem with sewer and had to be moved to a lower accommodation due to horrible smell. There was no genuine attempt to compensate us for the inconvenience or bad experience. The place itself was quiet and cute but disappointing with their customer service.

Nice location but they need to provide slippers, better tasting Keurig cups, and more variety in the complimentary breakfast. They also need to fix the water pressure in the shower.

Let’s talk boutique hotels!
I’ve stayed in many hotels and properties in Palm Springs over 20 years now and this place by far is the best. Provide peaceful and relaxing accommodations. The staff are great always and super friendly and courteous. The restaurant manager is so sweet and always making sure you’re have everything you need. The front deck ladies were awesome too and set up for my lady and I a romantic bubble bath with candles. This is my second time here and definitely will be back for more.

Small, quiet, private retreat with terrific food and cocktails.
Just perfection at every turn. Staff is constantly checking if you need anything. Absolutely amazing! 10 out of 10 even in the dead heat of summer.

My wife and I came to this property to have a relaxing vacation. We really liked how private it was. I know that some villas are more private than others. We opted To get an upgraded room. We felt very comfortand enjoyed our stay. The property and stuff was very nice everything was very clean. Complimentary breakfast was very good and we enjoyed the restaurant at the pool..
The location was amazing, you couldn't ask for a better location
2 things that I didn't Like was we got our room pretty late. Which I believe we could have got it earlier. Because they had finished cleaning it sooner. And forgot to Call us which is not really the reason that I didn't like. But I didn't like that. They rushed us out at 11 The next day. We would have enjoyed a late checkout. Which every hotel offers an extra hour to complimentary and would have spent more money at the pool. The other thing I didn't like was when they bring you your breakfast in the morning that they just walk in to The villa. My wife was in the shower and I was getting dressed in the living room area. I would have expected the food to be left at the door or for someone to knock.
But definitely overall a beautiful stay. And we would definitely come back again.
