This was my first stay at this resort and it won't be my last. This resort is truly PARADISE and THE WHOLE PROPERTY IS REALLY CLEAN!!! Dale (the owner) and Ron (the manager)attention to detail and cleanliness is unmatched. Reservation Experience- Excellent. Made reservation via phone. Given Conformation # and received a follow-up E-mail with included arrival and departure dates, room #, rate/night, total $$ including all taxes. (Nice! - NO surprises) I was contacted about a week (via E-mail and phone) before arrival to confirm my estimated time of arrival. Check-in and Check-out - Excellent - Flawless. Since this was my first visit, I was given a short orientation of the property and my room. They also have a resort channel that continually repeats useful information about everything you could possibly want to know about the resort. (Like how to adjust the thermostat and ceiling fan, office hours, emergency phone #'s ,breakfast time, etc.) Between my personal orientation and the resort channel all my questions were answered. My Room I was in the one of smallest room offered (Room 12- Mae West Room) . It was spacious and comfortable. Bed- California King- Comfy Room Amenities Microwave- Coffee maker (with coffee) -Refrigerator -Plates -Cutlery -Can opener- Cups- Ice bucket -Microwave popcorn. 27" TV with basic cable and 15 Adult channels- Clock radio, Remote controlled ceiling fan- Dimmable bed lights- Writing desk -Full size iron and ironing board- Wall safe- Phone- Fully adjustable thermostat for central air conditioner (powerful but quiet)-Wood plantation shutters that did a very good job of darkening the room- Quiet ( I had neighbors on both sides of me and heard only occasional muffled sounds) Linen- Top Quality sheets-Nice large bath and pool towels-All linen were very clean -(NO mystery stains) Bath- Large -Well lit - large 2-man shower with adjustable height shower massage -adjustable magnifying shaving mirror- top quality toiletries -Hair dryer Resort Staff- Friendly- Easy going- Efficient- Very knowledgeable of Palm Springs Resort Location- In the heart of the Warm Sands resort district. It's within easy walking distance to downtown and its many fine restaurants. A Ralphs Grocery is located a short .7 of a mile away. Resort Grounds & Amenities- Landscape is Lush- Tropical- Beautiful flowers everywhere -Mountain views- Numerous water features- Very nice night landscape lighting including a chandelier suspended between two palm trees- Nice soft music can be heard throughout the grounds -There's a BBQ for your use- Plenty of comfy lounge chairs- Fire pit - picnic tables-The heated Pool is salt water based( very body friendly). - Steam room - Sauna- Jacuzzi. The Jacuzzis temperature was so comfortable you could stay in for long periods of time without overheating Breakfast- It is self service between 8:00 and 10:00 AM. Have as much as you want. Other Guests The majority of the guests during my 6 day stay range in age from the 40's to the 50's. About 70% were couples to 30% singles. All men over age 18 are welcome to this no attitude resort. During my stay there was a group of 4 guys in their early 20's. At first, they were a little shy, but soon were cavorting and interacting with the other guests. Us "OLD" guys really enjoyed their youthful exuberance. The sexual atmosphere is rated as low. If you want a highly charged sexual atmosphere, this is not the resort for you. Suggestion- If you want to experience both a quiet relaxing environment as well as a highly charged sexual one- Stay here for the relaxing part and get yourself a day/night pass at one of the other sexually charged resorts located around Palm Springs. Stay at Desert Paradise -Play at ____.The property is clothing optional in all areas. I'd estimate it was 50-50 as to those wearing a swimsuit to those who went nude. Web-site www.desertparadise.com - Easy to navigate-Lots of information- You can check out each room via a 365* panorama camera. David Seattle Wa

If you want a FRISKY atmosphere- Look elsewhere. If you want a QUIET relaxing atmosphere This is the place. Chestnutz is a small boutique clothing optional men only Inn. It is located in a very quiet neighborhood within easy walking distance to downtown and many fine restaurants and bars. The owners Jim, Paul, and Bailey their beautiful Golden Retriever are wonderful hosts that set the tone of Chestnutz. It's a quiet, No attitude, laid back, relaxing place. During my 10 night stay, I'd estimate it was 90% couples to 10% singles. The Rooms, Pool, Jacuzzi and grounds are very clean. The unique dark bottom pool has some of the clearest water I've ever seen. There are an abundance of nicely cushioned lounge chairs surrounding the pool. You have your choice of being in full sun (sunrise to sunset) or in the shade under large umbrellas. The landscape has a very "Home like" look with beautiful flowers throughout. The rooms are furnished and decorated differently. I'd describe the furniture style as Time-honored Traditional. Gourmet breakfasts in the high season are fantastic. You can choose A la cart or opt for the breakfast of the day. I had the breakfast of the day-everyday. No two days are alike. Maybe you will luck out and get Eggs Benedict with the hollandaise sauce made from scratch using tree ripened Lemons from their own tree. YUMMY! They have a 24/7 honor bar located next to the pool stocked with various soft drinks. Complimentary coffee, tea and bottled water are also available 24/7.They have a large capacity Ice machine that was able to keep up with the demand of a sold out holiday weekend crowd with the temperatures over 100 degrees every day. I had a wonderful time. Chestnutz exceeded my expectations in every way. I will be back. Dave Seattle WA
