“Just Perfect”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 17 February 2011

My husband I have stayed several times. In the winter and the hot days of August as well. It gets better everytime. As a Travel Agency Owner I travel the world. Never have I felt more "at home" that at the Tortuga. Ric and Rob are perfection and so is this piece of paridise. Clean, comfortable and relaxing beyond words. On occasion we bring our two Schnauzers with us and enjoy the pet friendley suite. We will return over and over and are looking forward to our next visit

“Great little place with friendly owners!”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 1 September 2010

person found this review helpful

Okay I know that going to the desert in the summer is not the smartest thing to do, but they had great rates, and the owners very willing to give directions/suggestions for meals etc.
Rick and Rob are both very friendly and always said hello anytime they saw me.

Had a huge room with kitchen and really, my only beef is that the hot and cold water taps on the bathtub could really use a changing as they're corroded and didn't work very well and shower spray a bit on the weak side.

A bit out of the way from the Warm Sands area, but since that area is a shadow of it's former "glory", if you will, this could perhaps be a good thing.

I'd certainly look to stay there again on my next trip.... and with winter coming, thats a sure thing.

“Relaxing and cozy - felt like I was visiting friends”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 27 December 2009

Rob and Rick were very friendly, made me feel like I was visiting friends. It was my first time staying in Palm Springs and they were very helpful suggesting restaurants and things to do. They also offered me free passes to the Palm Springs Art Museum. It's a laid-back place and I look forward to returning.

“Great place; just got stuck w/ the wrong crowd”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 29 October 2009
1
person found this review helpful

I've been here several times and always loved it. It's more for the mellower crowd, not the out of control crowd. The last time I went their was a group of young guys that were hogging the jacuzzi all night long getting wasted, not exactly my cup of tea, but other than that I highly recommend this place.

Tortuga del Sol just gets better with each and every visit. Ric and Rob make you feel so welcome and the grounds, rooms, and the pool are simply beautiful. Always a great group of guys there. Looking forward to our visit next year.
