The O Spa + Resort - Desert Hot Springs, California

Have been here twice, both times were just what was needed. The rooms are all differently themed, the property has a lot of character to it, it is not a sterile "cookie cutter" like most resorts suffer from. It is a unique gem, off the beaten path. The most recent stay was on a Thursday night, we practically had the entire property to ourselves, it was just what was needed to get away from the monotony and stressors of daily life. There is a big pool in the middle of the property, a huge spa, a steam room (mgr said it was not working), an outdoor shower fed by hot spring water, a large 15' × 20' hot spring fed soaking pool that is around two feet deep, they had two cowboy tubs with hot spring water piped to them on our last visit, but they have since gone missing. The mgr said he would look into it and see it they can be re-installed. Despite the defects this place is still highly rated in my opinion.
The minimum age (21+) keeps the noise of children to a non-existent level and the clothing optional (except during certain events) is very freeing.

Birthday trip. Booked a trip for my birthday but we did not end up staying. Had called before booking and the person on the line who i believe is the owner was helpful. I had mentioned it was my birthday trip and i wanted to request an early check in and see about a few other details. the person reassured me it would be no issue. they said by 2 room would ready and they would make the trip feel special. when we arrived the gate was locked and we knocked for a bit before a guest eventually ended up opening the door. once inside we realized the spa had no staff. we tried to call to see about checking in and the same person from before answered. this time short and quick to place blame saying they would never promise early check in. when we mentioned the birthday and the bungalow we booked he was immediately apologetic realizing the mistake. the owner said room was not ready and we should come back at 4 for regular check in. no biggie. we decided we can grab food and come back. at 4 we get a call from the owner we the owner saying the room will not be ready until maybe 7. not sure how we went from “no worries come early and we will make your birthday feel special” to “actually i wont have it until maybe 7.” seems like one man is doing everything. definitely understaffed. possibly overbooked. will mention the owner did offer another night but our group had come from out of town for the occasion.

So this is our second visit here. First time was a day trip. It is an adults only location and recently-ish clothing optional.

There is basically no checkin process. Do not expect a lot of service. The amenities work though clearly not a lot of upkeep over time.

It’s unclear to me how many of the guests are aware it’s clothing optional from what I recall the only place it is mentioned is on the front page of the website and you can easily book a room without seeing that. It has not been busy either of the times I’ve been which depending on what you’re looking for could be a great fit.

I booked a room with the hotel online as requested by the person when I called the resort. I arrived and waited outside in 92 degree weather while someone claimed to be coming to let me in or sending me a code for the room I was supposed to be checking into for 45 minutes. I th n got in touch with the booking site they continued to call the hotel and they wouldn’t answer at all. I tried as well. I paid for a room after driving almost 8 hours just to get here and have this hotel disregard my reservation. I let the woman on the phone know that I was traveling alone and needed help getting inside to at least be in a lobby or safe area instead I was told that she would loose her job if she let me in. Even though I had paid and had a booking confirmation number. Alas I will be sleeping in my vehicle this evening because I couldn’t find any other accommodations. This was the worst experience I have ever had trying to check into a hotel.

We love the O Spa, amazing common area’s with all the amenities you would hope for., great place to make instant friends, every room has a different theme. Just make sure the host gives you the door and room code in advance to make this a seamless arrival to a great desert Oasis 👍🏼

This place is absolutely gorgeous. The vibe is absolutely phenomenal. One of the most beautiful seductive private hotel I have ever been to. It was literally breathtaking. It was a staycation for me and my boyfriend, and to say the least we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves and the vibe and atmosphere were absolutely impeccable. I highly recommend checking this place out. The spot just beautifully put together completely serene and just impeccably decorated. I can’t say enough good things about it.

If you’re in the Palm Springs area and are searching for a nice private getaway the O Spa is the spot. Multiple heated pools and private mineral spas to soothe the body and relax the mind. They have a nice intimate setting and cozy rooms. Our room had a classic record player with a good variety of music genres. I noticed there weren’t any children running around screaming. Also, my apologies to the people whose room I accidentally walked into.
