Fodor's Expert Review Borrego Valley Inn

Those looking for desert landscapes and some stargazing—guests must be 21 or older—may enjoy the adobe Southwestern-style buildings here that house spacious rooms, which boasts plenty of natural light, original art, pine beds, and corner fireplaces. Rooms also feature desert gardens of mesquite, ocotillo, and creosote right outside. Every room opens onto its own on the enclosed garden, which includes chaises, chairs, and a table. The high-desert hot tubs add a romantic touch. For more space, request the cozy casita.
