    We were rolling off the bed, it should have been superb. No ironing board. Our door wouldn't lock without slamming, we realized this after leaving it open one afternoon. The TVs had nothing and were in a weird spot. We were served hot champagne upon arrival.

    The decor of the hotel was very chic, staff was nice, la labo products, pool was great, almost everything was appointed to.

    Beautiful property, well situated, fabulous design/ pool area.

    There was a serious lack of staff for the weekend... waiting for 20-30 minutes (or longer) to get a drink etc., and running out of basic items like espresso beans, yogurt parfaits etc.. For a property at this price point, that should never happen. The staffing shortage was apparent, but the staff that were there were lovely and did their best. I understand the hotel was at 100% capacity, but those are circumstances easily planned for and should be anticipated.

    Elizabeth in the restaurant was fabulous, as were most of the staff. Cleaning staff and front reception were also fabulous. Overall a great stay.

    I do not like the fact that one must pre-pay the entire room reservation at booking. 50% would be more acceptable with the balance due 1 week prior to arrival. Also, the price went down considerably a week prior to our stay on Booking.com and on the hotel's website. Booking.com approved the price match and I submitted the paperwork but I've not heard back yet. Also the pool attendant could have come around to solicit orders a little more frequently.

    Love that the property is adult only! It is one of the main reasons we chose to stay at this location. The great location is also another reason. The staff are all very kind and welcoming. The pool is a refreshing temperature and plenty of space for guests to lounge about. The food and drinks at the restaurant/pool bar is very good also. Our room was comfortable, clean, and cozy. However, the lighting in the bathroom could be a smidge brighter, the makeup mirror provided did not provide much to help. The entire property is very clean and thoughtfully laid out for guests to explore and enjoy. Love the art deco vibe!

    The goddamn hidden cost! Resort fee, parking fee, pet fee, pretty sure there was just a hanging out fee, some other fee… would’ve loved to of stayed another night but paying these fees equaled that. Really stupid. We paid it but not happy about it. Probably stay there again.

    Everything was great from the pool to the turndown service.

    Not enough staff to help guests, long waits for checking in and when getting drinks at the bar. One day without notice the Colony club what closed for breakfast and lunch and was unable to order when laying by the pool. Staff was really nice though, its not their fault.

    Beautiful Hotel, love the design and layout.

    When we booked it says that it includes taxes and surcharges, but we still had to pay € 45 per night for resort fee at check out. That was the only thing that was disappointing.

    Everything! It's a beautiful hotel with great staff. The atmosphere is very relaxed and the staff is very service oriented. They do everything to make the guest happy, many other hotels can learn from that! Loraine from the restaurant really makes you feel at home and makes sure you have an amazing evening.

    The room was too dark - would have loved more natural light. Service at the pool was practically non existent. No one came up to offer me a beverage, when I went and ordered from the bar they were very nice and they brought it out to me but then never checked in on me to see if I wanted anything else and didn't take away the dishes when I was finished. There were only 5 other people at the pool so its not like they were super busy. Pool is also 4ft deep - which is a little shallow for an adult pool.

    The room was cute - loved the decor but it was really dark. Bathroom was really big and water pressure was great! Bathroom was really nicely decorated. Bed was comfortable.

    The bartenders are rude, take a very long time to make simple drinks, and get overwhelmed easily which slows the entire poolside staff down and people wait for drinks for an hour, or never receive the drinks at all. The pool doesn't get cleaned daily, which it should, and so it gets filthy with hair, sunscreen, debris and dead bugs. There aren't enough pool chairs for the capacity of guests which causes guests to bicker.

    Rooms are luxurious and comfortable, the grounds are beautiful, the food is delicious, the front desk staff and valet staff are wonderful, and the spa treatments and service are fantastic

    Excellent staff, mediocre furnished rooms
    • Leisure trip

    • King Room

    Rooms felt very much like a motel room with only slightly nicer furnishings. Didn't feel very luxury or spacious.

    Staff were amazing - they went above and beyond. The hotel did charge extra $35 for valet and self-parking on site, which isn't a huge amount. The rooms are extremely small and not as nicely equipped as we would expect for the price we paid per night (e.g. no suitcase stand, no full size mirror, no attached vanity mirror in the bathroom, no tub, no separate toilet space, bare bones room, bedroom located directly in front of the main room entrance so no privacy from staff or people walking outside). The room was also directly in front of the pool, but with some privacy. Not a ton of noise.

    First time at CP in 3 years (used to be multiple times a year guests). Starting to love it again.

    If you're a woman, the lighting is fairly dim inside the rooms (we assume to keep the spaces dialed down) which can be a makeup challenge. There is no full-body mirror option, just the bathroom sink area. There's aren't that many electrical outlets but there is a proper iron (but no foldable table, so we used the bed edge).

    The remodel was a huge shift from what we loved about the original Colony Palms (somebody really really likes lattice) - but the poolside charm and general calm quietness of the space is still there. Service staff are top notch and the now working fountains and newly installed fire pit are an excellent evening feature. The new mattresses and duvet / sheet options were absolutely fantastic.

    Wish we had stayed longer!

    Our stay at Colony Palms was amazing! I loved the vibe and atmosphere of the hotel. It felt peaceful and the perfect getaway for the weekend. Upon arrival the staff were very friendly and kind, showed us to the room and made us feel at home immediately. We hit the pool straight away and spent time relaxing. The pool area, drinks and food were all great. Our room was very large, the bed was very comfortable and the bathroom featured Le Labo products. I would reall recommend this hotel for couples and friends looking for a quiet spot in Palm Springs. I can't wait to come back.
