L'Horizon Resort & Spa, Hermann Bungalows

Stayed only one night while visiting friends in the area but even 24 hours at L'Horizon felt like a getaway. All the little things: the prosecco greeting, a surprise beautiful upgraded bungalow with our name on the door, to the crafted cocktail and lovely food at dinner and breakfast added to a memorable experience of feeling the quiet elegance of the location and thoughtful details sink in and leaving the rest of the world outside. Our only disappoin**ent was being turned away at the restaurant (only one on property) for 8pm dinner with scores of open tables. We were told they had no availability due to staffing issues and not wanting to overload the kitchen and "impact the guest experience". We were guided to go to the bar where we had excellent service, the same menu (and the same kitchen) and delicious high quality food. Ambiance for the price, of course given the pool bar setting, was lacking but the bartender was a delightful host and now I know to book a reservation even if you are staying at the hotel. (Make note!) If you are wanting buzz, look elsewhere. This is a quiet hotel. But if you want to feel surrounded by privacy and hip luxury, this is your spot. We have stayed many times at their sister property which has been our hands down favorite for years. But next time, I think we may be back at L'Horizon instead. With reservations for dinner.

Overall, a wonderful experience. The staff are incredibly kind and attentive. This is my first experience at a hotel/resort of this quality, so it's possible I'm a bit shocked by the incredible staff. A couple minor complaints: 1) Air filters were disgusting. I mean they looked busted and we're more dust than filter. Like they hadn't been changed in 5 years or more. Maybe do a basic inspection of each room because some tiny details get overlooked. 2) The lounge chairs in the Herman Bungalow pool are oddly positioned. Ideally they'd be a bit lower in the water. But now I'm just being nitpicky. Such a minor thing. 3) Expired snacks in the room for purchase. Relatively harmless but still. I will say that they provided a credit for the air filter and expired food. A credit that definitely exceeded the monetary value of my notes, but also not something I was going for. We just mentioned them on our way out the door; I'd already signed for everything and was really happy with most everything I experienced here. I didn't say anything about the loungers since that's just a matter of personal preference. I'd highly recommend this place if you want a quiet spot away from too much hustle and bustle.

Staff was excellent .. pool area is amazing and relaxing. Our room 9 was quiet and a bit out of the way… make sure you request a pool view..

Just to confirm what others have said, this is a beautiful property with excellent staff and service. However, there are some details lacking that are just not acceptable at this price point. Wifi was spotty, bathroom lighting was terrible, and the fan absolutely sounded like a jet engine taking off. Worst of all, after a cleaning during our stay, there were several long dark hairs stuck to the wall next to the bathroom vanity (I’m blonde and my husband is bald).

This is a designer's masterwork. The place is beautiful with superb materials and excellent staff. However, this is NOT good value for the cost. Our room had NO furniture in it except for the bed, we had to drag patio chairs in . It is true that there are Frette linens everywhere but they cover one of the lamest uncomfortable beds ever! There is no place like a desk where one could do some computer work and the bedside outlets are all used up by lamps, house IPads, routers, etc, there is a single trash bin and its in the bathroom. For $900day, I would expect at the very least an included breakfast. What we got was a brass plaque at our door with our name on it! At least the "resort fee" is a mere $45 extra /day which gets one....???? The service staff were so very good , I worry that the hotel's design is so expensive there's not much left for the staff. In a word, visit this place to see it, but don't stay there.

A beautifully designed hotel, around a very chic pool area, great mid-century modern design bungalows. The service from the staff was very good. However the Wi-Fi didn’t work in our room, the bathroom door didn’t shut properly and the extractor fan in the bathroom sounded like a tractor starting up. It’s the details that make the difference in a hotel of this quality and unfortunately L’Horizon just fell short.

Love the property- very quiet. Not sure if the service is worth $600 a night but still a lovely property

Noisy bungalow by the highway, rooms not luxe more like a very basic motel.

This resort remains are #1 choice for staycations in Palm Springs! It's truly a hidden gem and is always a treat!
