Like the shopping facilities and, Saturday and Sunday college of the desert market

4/5 - Good

Verified traveller

The Marriott resort provided what we needed for a relaxing part of our vacation, making the most of the lovely weather. However, we found a local supermarket and the River for our daily basics (enhancing the Market and pool refreshments on site).

5/5 - Excellent

We return year after year to wonderful Palm Desert and surrounding areas.
