Fodor's Review:

A world apart from Palm Springs' pulsating urban village, the area's most exclusive resort occupies 400 pristine desert acres, surrounded by mountains and quiet desert vistas. A laid-back genteel retreat since the mid-1930s for some of the world's foremost families, including Walt Disney, it still provides a quietly luxurious experience reminiscent of the Old West. A collection of simple cottages is spread among manicured desert gardens and shaded by smoke trees. A large rambling ranch house, with gleaming paneled walls and picture windows, holds a dining room where three meals are served daily. Tradition prevails in a dress code at dinner and the perfect service. Pros: Priceless privacy, simple luxury, discrete service. Cons: No glitz or glamour, limited entertainment options, family atmosphere.
