Review of Santiago Resort - Palm Springs Premier Gay Men’s Resort 3*

I planned a mid-week getaway for myself to relax, reflect and recharge. I had never been to a gay resort and did a lot of research of reviews to ensure this would be the relaxing trip I desired. Upon arriving early I was surprised to find my room ready early and they were more than happy to accommodate me. I chose a downstairs suite in the corner away from the pool for the extra quite. Unfortunately this is the — 1 star part. The walls/ceilings are thin and I could hear footsteps among other noises easily. They also had to replace a large piece of machinery that afternoon and it was right outside my window and lasted for hours. Now lets get back to the good stuff. The pool was perfectly clean and warm. The jacuzzi was a good temperature too. My favorite was having huge hammocks on the lawn. There was a gas powered fire pit that was great at night and they had a designated smoking table off to the side for those that need it. They are building an outdoor shower as well that was t quite ready for my visit. The cantina was a wonderful add. Tea, coffee, lemonade, snacks, pastries, cookies you name it were available all day everyday. The breakfast was lovely as well. They cater lunch everyday of your stay as part of the $8 resort fee. Most of the staff were really friendly and great. Shout out to Kent and Ryan and a couple other men that honestly never stopped working to ensure the grounds were kept immaculate. I literally saw them cleaning chlorine stains off the concrete and vacuuming the pool chairs daily! The guests were mostly older and pretty respectful and kept to themselves but I did meet a few and enjoyed our conversations. The bathroom was fully stocked with little chic bottles of soap. Robes were provided as well. I really don't think I could have asked for a better three days and two night get-away. Even on check out day they allowed me to sun bath til I was ready to leave. Thank you Santiago Resort. I hope to come back with my Husband later this year.
