Vista Grande Resort - A Gay Men's Resort

Been staying here occasionally as schedule permits. A very quiet, warm and refreshing time away from work and worries. Many men have been coming for several years from across the US and likely beyond. People care and listen (when needed) even when guests squander tea bags at 0400. Have stayed at Vista Grande section (preferred) and Avalon. I've noticed a regular refresh schedule for facilities over time, with major plant replacement as well. Recommend at least mid-tier rooms as they are the best value.

Very close to the airport, but don't use the bus because it only comes once an hour. The breakfast is made fresh every morning by a chef who gives several options. The pools, but one are heated. There are misters all over to cool down the desert heat. The owners are doing a good job of keeping the rooms updated. The staff is very friendly. I want to come back next time I'm down here.

Just finished up a week at Vista Grande and had such a good time.|Every one of the staff were so nice and there to help if you ever needed or wanted something. If it's your first time to Palm Springs they'll give you suggestions of things to do, restaurants and bars. |The rooms are immaculate. I opted not to have service for the week but If you need your room cleaned or fresh towels, they're happy to do that for you.|The common areas like the pools, the sauna and the whirlpool are all well maintained and the staff is genuine and caring. |Throughout the week I met several people around the pool, went for dinner and drinks with them and had some pretty good laughs.|Every morning there's a cooked to order hot breakfast which was perfect because I chose to spend most of my time at the resort so no need to leave.| The Saturday afternoon pool party had a D.J. and a nice lunch that everyone enjoyed.|I've booked into another resort in November however I'm seriously considering changing to Vista Grande again. |Thanks again everyone..It was spectacular.

Out of all the gay Resorts in Palm Springs, and I have stayed at them all. Vista Grande |Resort is on a whole nother level. The staff is friendly and super accomodating, the resort grounds are lush and well maintain. Waterfall, pools, large jaguzzi, a huge steam room are just some of the resorts perks. The rooms are very spacious with a full kitchen and living room, super clean , I mean spotless. Clothing optional, and a free breakfast with your stay, cooked to order. You woun't want to leave.

If I could give the service at VG more than five stars, I would! Such a great, kind, generous group of staff who are friendly at every turn. I loved staying here and can’t wait to return. Also — such a lush landscape in a town that doesn’t have many!

A Hidden Gem in Warm Sands – Truly Unforgettable Vista Grande is an absolute hidden jewel tucked away in the heart of Warm Sands. From the moment I arrived, I was met with a warm, welcoming atmosphere and a team of staff who clearly take immense pride in what they do. Their dedication shows—not only in the service, but also in the ongoing upgrades and improvements being made to the property. It’s clear they’re investing real heart into making this place even better. The environment is open, freeing, and filled with genuinely kind people. Everyone I encountered, from staff to guests, contributed to a truly uplifting experience. And can we talk about the breakfast? Absolutely fantastic—delicious, fresh, and the perfect start to each day. A special shoutout goes to Tom, the manager, who might just be the nicest and most accommodating person I’ve ever met in a hospitality role. His presence alone sets the tone for the kind and inclusive vibe of the entire place. I had an incredible stay and will absolutely be returning as often as I can. Wholeheartedly recommended.

Outstanding stay at Vista Grande, as always. My husband and I have been visiting for 20 years now. We stay for 5-9 days and visit annually (would love to go more frequently but it's a big trip for us and hard to leave the East coast more often). The staff is the main reason we return year after year. Tom, the manager has been consistently leading improvements for the past 10 years or so, and he as a GREAT team in place. I'd like to specifically mention Mike, Rodrigo, and Chris, just because we've interacted with them the most. Mike is always helpful and truly looks out for guests. Rodrigo is so much fun and makes everyone feel so important, even if you just bump into him around town he's like a dear friend. He helps out all over the place whether making breakfast, refreshing rooms, answering questions - you name it. And Chris keeps the kitchen churning out really, no... REALLY good food. Sure they put out all the continental breakfast staples (bagels, muffins, cereals, etc.), but also provide made to order breakfast scrambles and burritos with loads of toppings to choose from (bacon, cheeses, sausage, fresh veggies, etc.), French toast, Crepes? He also plans and prepares the food for their weekly and holiday parties. Not the instant eggs they serve up in chain hotels; good fresh stuff prepared to order. ||People have often asked why we go to Palm Springs and stay at Vista Grande year after year & why don't we try something else. The answer is simple. We do go other places from time to time for "adventures" or to visit friends, but our Palm Springs vacation is a special time to really relax and let go of cares, even if just for a week. Why in the world would we trust that special and limited opportunity to chance when we know the Vista Grande team will deliver consistently year after year? That would be dumb. Go, you'll probably love it. It's your vacation to design, so make it what you will. Want to spent some quiet time alone? Great; do it - the staff are not intrusive. Want to have fun and make new friends? Great; do it - don't be a wall flower. Introduce yourself to people and strike up a conversation (practice with a friend before you go if that feels awkward or challenging). The rooms are each unique (we've stayed in 8 different ones over the years) and all have their own special perks. You can always bring home your leftovers from a restaurant because they all have microwaves and refrigerators. Try some local restaurants, visit the local bars and other businesses, even if you just want to people watch. Go and have fun!
