Ron JeramiahMarch 8, 2022AWESOME Marriott resource with incredible amenities. We live it here and will definitely come back and recommend. The pools are awesome and the golf course is beautiful!
Alicia BozarthApril 11, 2013This is part of the vacation club, so plenty of events to attend during your stay. There are 2 pools, one for children and one for adults. Villas are like apartments, washing machine/dryer included!
Mark ButterfieldDecember 16, 2021Its a sprawling complex so wear sandal or flip flops to get to the pools. They do have an internal shuttle but it gets cold at night in the winter so be sure to dry off before returning to your unit.
- The main pool is definitely for kids. You can go to the Chuckwalla side, and it's a little more quiet, but if you really want peace and calm, make your way to the Quiet Pool, near the 2900 building.
Mango Tango Rita's at the Chuckwalla pool are great. Love Austin's morning yoga classes!! He has so much positive energy. The grounds are beautiful and the staff is friendly.
Pool hop each day. There are 4 different ones! 2nd pool is the most kid friendly and has a waterslide. Also if your room doesn't have a DVD player just call the front desk and they're bring one!
We've owned here for several years and have stayed at different seasons but mostly in summer. We love it and meet interesting people from all over the world. Marriott owners should attend meetings.
Deann WilkenAugust 13, 2015Great family resort. Great summer rates. Lots to do here. Rooms are really nice.
Barbara HahnJuly 25, 2011Great place for people who want to invite 40 people in one room and party. Just be sure not to get the room next door like we did with 48 people in the room next door. Not the place to purchase!!!
Brian FarrisMarch 8, 2015Rooms are nice. Grounds are clean. Thank you Security guards for watching our clubs at 5:00 AM.
- Jeff WhitneySeptember 19, 2010The main pool is major kid friendly. Get some adult time at the Chuckwalla side. Outside drinks are cool. Dusk on the balcony w/ cold beer rules.
Sophie L.January 16, 2011Tennis courts stay lit even past 11pm...just make sure to hit the button to keep the lights on.- Katie ButkusAugust 13, 2011I would avoid the quiet pool..not as quiet as expected and not maintained as well as the other pools
If you're staying long term, make sure to request housekeeping to change out the sheets. They do not do this unless requested.
Ellis KitsembleApril 21, 2019Desk agents & managers who work here are rude they are not helpful in any way.I’ve been a top member in Marriotts for many years but this hotel gave no care,beware Marriott vacations check out 1030am!
- Barbara HahnJuly 24, 2011Rooms are as noisy as a college frat party. Look elsewhere for a decent night's sleep.
Miss EllieSeptember 28, 2013This place is a dump. Poor service, tiny room. no king size as promised, shady people at the pool, clogging toilets that nobody wants to fix, and mysterious stains on supposedly clean bed linens.

"Perfect place for the family. Nothing at the pool bars was worth the money, so don’t bother! It was all over priced. We loved staying there though. Clean, friendly & inviting."
Veronica Armstead - 6.1
"The family Chuckwalla pool and small water slide is fantastic for families...poolside bartender the first few days was not good, but other guy was great...very friendly and professional!"
