A mix of style and fun, Renaissance Palm Springs is a welcoming desert hideaway. Reserve yourself a cabana by one of the biggest pools in the area, relax among the palm trees and gaze at the mountains, or maybe book yourself a massage at the spa. Rocks Lounge is the place to be for getting social, with coffee, cocktails and great food — the evening fire pits adding nicely to the laidback Californian vibe. Fancy exploring the restaurants downtown? It’s not far at all, but if it’s too hot to walk in the heat, the hotel will drive you down.

PERFECT Birthday Weekend!
Nov 20, 2023Kendr W
I stayed the weekend of 11/10 to celebrate my birthday and had the BEST stay! The hotel is clean, service is friendly, room was beautiful-- we had a great view of the pool and the mountains. The hotel is super conveniently located to downtown. Highly recommend staying here!
Disappointed
Nov 17, 2023Elaine B
Had high expectations as we’ve stayed in This hotel brand a few times in Malaysia.
The hotel itself was very nice but the service let it down.
We arrived at 8:30 pm after a long drive. We were advised by the receptionist that the food offering ended at 9:00pm. Nothing else on offer for a 4* hotel of this quality, not even room service after 9!…

Had high expectations as we’ve stayed in This hotel brand a few times in Malaysia.
The hotel itself was very nice but the service let it down.
We arrived at 8:30 pm after a long drive. We were advised by the receptionist that the food offering ended at 9:00pm. Nothing else on offer for a 4* hotel of this quality, not even room service after 9! A very limited menu on offer and the bar closed at 10pm
When we got to the room I thought the housekeeper had forgotten to service it properly. There were no accessories in the bathroom… nothing. Not even a shower cap. I asked the housekeeper and was told to go down to reception and ask for one!! Really put clothes back on and go to reception for a shower cap. Taking your sustainability credentials a bit too far.
No in house information or any information on the area. Was told to go online to find information on the hotel.
We were doing a 3 week road trip staying in 11 hotels this was the only one where there was no map of the area given or any local information sipped on the surrounding area.

Damaged, unmaintained, and unsafe
Nov 12, 2023Tom G
I'm deeply disappointed in my stay. The deferred maintenance makes this feel like a trashy, distressed property.
1. The elevators are unsafe. The middle elevator opens before it stops moving, and the doors close on guests. They hit me hard enough to stagger me, and a guest who saw it said she saw an older lady get hit hard enough to knock her…

I'm deeply disappointed in my stay. The deferred maintenance makes this feel like a trashy, distressed property.
1. The elevators are unsafe. The middle elevator opens before it stops moving, and the doors close on guests. They hit me hard enough to stagger me, and a guest who saw it said she saw an older lady get hit hard enough to knock her down (another guest caught her before she fell). The leftmost elevator is shut down and has visible damage to the ground floor door. The leftmost call button on each level has paper taped over it saying to use the other button.
2. My guest room (2304) is clean but horribly maintained. One of the towel racks (in the shower) is badly bent. The shower/bath drain is clogged, draining very slowly. The toilet seat isn't fastened down. One of the lamps doesn't turn on and has a stained shade. The skirts on the beds are a wrinkled mess.
3. There is machinery causing a constant vibration in the wall the beds are against. It's barely audible, but the headboard attached to the wall carries the vibration into the bed and any pillows touching it. Putting an ear on a pillow next to the headboard causes a loud buzzing noise. I had to pull the bed and pillows away from the headboard to sleep.
4. My first night I tried to get a bottle opener around 6:30. After 5 minutes of trying the "delighted to serve" button on the phone (busy every time), I hit 0 instead. I requested a bottle opener and they said it would be right up. 45 minutes later, I tried again ("delighted to serve was still busy"). They apologized and said it would be right up. Another 35 minutes after that, I called again (still busy ). I asked if I could come pick it up. They said no, but it would be right up. 2 hours later (10pm) I called again (still busy) and FINALLY got an opener.
5. Wifi takes 10+ second to load every webpage. Nonfunctional.
I will be staying elsewhere during our annual conference next November. This is not a 4-star property.

She provided all she could offer and details of what to do around town. Room was beautiful with terrific view. Service was great. Delicious breakfast.

Your holiday may be affected by travel restrictions or cancellations
We are continually reviewing our flying schedules, taking into account the Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO) advice against all non-essential travel. Depending on when you are due to travel, your holiday may be affected and we’ll email you to let you know as least 21 days before travel.
Your next holiday is only a click away - our website has thousands of options ready to book. But if you need more help, just give us a call on 0344 472 9646.
With many customers needing our help, we are prioritising those customers due to travel before 31 December 2020. Log in to Manage my booking where you can message us about your options or you can give us a call. Bear in mind you may have to wait longer than expected. We continue to review this and working to open up these options to more customers. In the meantime check out our FAQs to see if this can help answer any immediate questions.
Rest assured; we will notify you as soon as we know if your holiday has been affected by email.

Don’t worry if you’ve missed a payment or just need a little more time to pay; we have options available to help you. If your holiday is going ahead as planned, you can continue to pay for your holiday in Manage my booking, even if travelling in less than 12 weeks. If you’re unsure, you can delay any additional payments by choosing a new time to travel by requesting a call back in Manage My booking for one of our team to look at options. If your holiday is more than 6 months away, you may wish to set up a Direct Debit to spread the cost. This can be arranged whilst rebooking or afterwards in Manage my booking.
We understand that you may wish to change your holiday plans and we appreciate the need for flexibility.
We'll be in touch by email letting you know how to register to change your holiday plans. You can also log into Manage my booking to find the details there.
Please look out for emails from us or visit our dedicated Covid-19 (Coronavirus) page for the latest updates.
If we haven’t notified you of any changes, your holiday will be going ahead as planned but if you prefer to move your holiday to a later time we can help. You can call our team on 0344 472 9499 who can look at options for you.
Payments are being prioritised based on when the request was made, working in order from March 2020 onwards. We will always try to process refunds at the earliest opportunity, for requests before August our maximum timeframe is 120 days. As we are steadily reducing the maximum processing time for each new request, for refund requests made in August, we expect the maximum processing time to be 80 days, from the date the refund is requested. For those requesting a refund in September, we expect it to be processed within a maximum of 60 days, and then reduce to 30 days for refunds requested in October, before returning to normal levels.
To finalise the amendment, one of our customer advisors will phone you. We need to work through amend requests in departure date order so we can prioritise those with the most imminent travel plans, so you may have a longer wait than usual until we’re able to ring you back. We will help everyone that wants to move their holiday.
I returned early from holiday and have further questions?
You can contact our team by emailing feedback.backhome@virginholidays.com to discuss options on unused portions of your holiday. If you need to contact our team about amending an existing holiday or requesting a refund please log in to manage my booking.
