While the rooms and pool are were clean and the owners extremely nice, there is absolutely no way this room was worth the price. The rooms were extremely basic - concrete floors, small bathroom, queen bed, two night tables, black and white photo, TV on a rolling cart and small kitchen. There was a noisy wall air conditioning unit/heater. Forget... More

I’ve been going to Sagewater Spa at least twice a year for the past 10 years. I am not an active Trip Advisor reviewer because frankly I wanted to keep Sagewater Spa all to myself. Guests feel as if Sagewater Spa is their own mid-century modern oasis in the desert resplendent with a natural hot mineral water pool. Yes, Sagewater... More

The pool/spa needed cleaning, the rooms were sparse, almost monk-like as far as amenities and flat surfaces. Run down with an air conditioner that was old and loud. Kitchen fan had not been cleaned in a very long time and refrigerator was tiny. We paid a premium price for a room that was a huge disappointment. It should have been... More

18 May 2013

Trip Advisor suggests that owners/managers respond to reviews so prospective guests can get a sampling of our personalities. In this way, they get a better idea about the essence of us and our properties, but I have to say, this review took me so off guard, it has been difficult to respond, especially since I received such such a warm...

We really enjoyed our stay so much peace and quiet. The owner makes you feel welcome from the moment you check in. We loved that the pool was available 24hrs a day. You can cook n BBQ on premises if you prefer instead of eating out. We definitely will come back.

I'm so glad I found Sagewater Spa. It turned out to be the most relaxing getaway I have ever taken. Rhoni and Cris are such warm, welcoming inn keepers. I felt right at home as soon as I arrived. The room was clean and rather spacious, and the bed was very comfortable. The water was indescribable. I felt all my... More

My husband and I enjoyed our short stay. The hot spring pool and staff are amazing. A great getaway for R&R, not too far from Palm Springs and the outlet mall. The staff are also helpful in recommending nearby places to eat and visit. The kitchenettes are just the right size and have most amenities.

The Sagewater Spa is a small getaway enclosed in privacy! We respect the fact that the warm and friendly owners remained true to the original form of the resort-sparse, but with a very calming and quiet atmosphere. It was perfect that the mineral pool and connecting hot tub were available 24 hours. It was wonderful soaking in the hot water... More

Just returned home after three days at the Sagewater Spa. It's tranquil, private, intimate with bonus of warm hospitality from owners. I appreciated the adult only rule. Loved the clean minimalist vibe. Nothing too much. Nothing to take away from the sensory experience that begins immediately with the waters, the incredible desert light, the wind in the palm trees above,... More

So nice to come back to the soothing hot-spring waters of Sagewater Spa after a day or night of concert going. The amenities are upscale and complete, yet minimalist and freeing to the mind. Excellent massage therapists are on hand. Overall, the staff are excellent and discreet: there when you need 'em - gone when you don't. Sagewater is a... More
