Marriott's Desert Springs Villas

Can someone confirm that Villas I allows free access to spa and pool facilities and JW. Is this true if you purchase a villas I unit through resale. Thanks.

Starting in 2012 Marriott's Desert Springs Villas is "not charging" for entrance into their world class Spa & Gym facility. This is truly a five star resort. Have visited this resort many times. Also if you stay at this location your golf is discounted per my "recent" telcon with Marriott'. Jack E.

We just spent Thanksgiving week at this resort; our first trip to the Palm Desert. The location of the resort is close to grocery, shopping and restaurants. The grounds are clean and well maintained. There are 7 pools, so none of them were crowded. We were in a one bedroom which was ample big for two of us. The staff is friendly and accomodating. We loved this place!

Currently staying at Villas I. Marriott now charges Villa I guests to use the resort spa/workout facilities/tennis. It is $175 for 2 people which also includes day use of the hotel pools for up to 4 additional children under 18. Over 18 either pays the same as above or daily fees for resort pool ($10 weekdays and $15 weekends). My family enjoys the workout facility and spa pool so we paid the extra (plus 87.50 for our 19 yo) and had a wonderful week. One problem for us was the resort nightclub was extremely loud every night until about 2am. We haven't had this problem in the past. More spring breakers are in PD this year due to problems in Mexico. Otherwise a very relaxing fun week. Ate a Cliff House twice and really enjoyed it.
