Lovely staff and always on hand to help out. The Wi-Fi wasn’t too good in the room in fact, I couldn’t get it but sat outside and it was good out there.
Robert, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Great location. Nice rooms. Very comfortable. Only downside was mildew in the bathroom ceiling vent. And the second bedroom had no tv, plugs behind the bed and now ceiling light or fan in the room. Air conditioning doesn’t get very cold in the rooms. Very stuffy.
Angela, 4-night trip

John, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

We had a truly wonderful stay at Desert Vacation Villas! The space was exactly what we needed—charming, cozy, and full of character. While it isn’t brand-new or ultra-modern, that’s part of its appeal—it feels like visiting your favorite aunt’s welcoming home. The staff was incredibly friendly and attentive, the heated pool and jacuzzi were fantastic, and the price for such a prime location is unbeatable. We can’t wait to come back!

Expensive but worth it.
Joseph J, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

The unit we had was nice. We really liked the full kitchen area as we don’t like to eat out every night. Unfortunately the office staff were not helpful at all. They had no clue how to use bus system running right passed their property, and generally were rude as if they didn’t want us asking any questions. We also had to remove our garbage at week’s end. Have never seen this before!!
Keith, 7-night trip

8/10 Very good

I made a reservation for 2 bedrooms, one with a king bed, and the other with a queen bed. We got a king and 2 twins. I wasn't happy about this. Was told that this was all they had. The unit was clean, very dark in tub/shower. We asked for blankets as it was cold while we were there. Did not use the outside facilities, because of the weather.

Great bargain

The property is somewhat dated, but clean and comfortable. We were only there overnight but it had a lot of amenities for a family to enjoy an extended stay. Priced reasonably.
Donna, 1-night trip

We felt the parking lot was well lit and safe. The kitchen was great!
