We booked this with some trepidation as we read some reviews. Vincent at check in was great. Location is the BEST! Nice pool area with four clean grills. Lovely grounds. Staff very friendly. We enjoyed the small size of the resort. Easy to park, swim, cook, etc.

Over the holidays, I had the pleasure of staying at the Sands! I must say that the service there was amazing! The rooms were clean, the employees were welcoming and I got an all around "at home" feeling! I can cook and even entertain guests if need be! It's a short drive to the desert night life but tucked away... More

This was my 3rd trip the Sands of Indian Wells, and I just love coming here. It is like a little apartment the rooms have great space with a balcony/patio and a kitchenette with appliances so I can bring my own snacks/drinks. It is a short drive to Palm Springs, and a lot less money to stay in Indian Wells... More

My first time at the Sands was exactly like the next four times I spent there, it was all fabulous. The layout of the rooms, the fact that they have kitchens with all the silverware and dishware and pots and pans. And the pool! The pool is nice and large, and the Jacuzzi is good and hot. I even took... More

The resort is quaint and friendly. Jeffrey the manager did everything humanly possible to make our stay comfortable, memorable and perfect! He is a wealth of information and a joy. The hotel is located in the ideal situation - close to everything, plenty of parking, and the pool was never crowded. Take advantage of the charming bar-b-q area and the... More

There were extra towels and pillows which I loved. The pool was perfect. Couldn't ask for more. Pull out bed was comfy too. Sands hotel of Indian Wells will be my only hotel of choice for my future palm springs visits.

Stayed here for a week with my wife and we were quite pleased. The facilities were just great from the pool and jacuzzi to the outdoor grilling area and the clean comfortable rooms. Everyone on staff from the front desk to housekeepIng to the landscapers were great and friendly! Would definitely come back
