This is a very nice option especially if you are traveling with family or group and staying more than one night. There are two bedrooms two bathrooms and a kitchen. It’s basically a small apartment. The staff was great and everything was clean. Parking was easy and pool was nice also. Great for the price.

This was a fantastic place to stay! We were just there for a quick overnight stay, so we did not have time to take advantage of the amenities like the pool, ping pong table or the bike rental, but I love that they were available! We DID get there in time to borrow a DVD to watch. Everyone was happy to not have to share the same room and it was nice to have kitchen facilities available to cook our own meals. It was adiquately stocked and very clean and quiet. The front desk staff and cleaning crew that we interacted with were friendly and helpful. All for about the same price as sharing one family hotel room. We would absolutely stay here again!

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!

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!!

I've read several reviews about the location and its condition. Mostly 'out dated' in the inside reviews but it didnt bother me at all. I only needed a place to sleep, shower and cook, this place provided all of it. It was basically an apartment and I loved the homey feel to it. Yes it was a bit outdated but it was still worth the stay. It was quiet and very well out together. I would definitely stay here again.

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.
