Just did the day pass. Very nice and warm swimming pool, covered private hot tub. Moroccan music. Dry sauna. The works. Great for chilling if not too busy. Only open till 4pm in the winter. But it gets too cold after that anyway.

Small and cozy hotel with breakfast and 24 hour service spa, that was amazing! Everything great, but the smell in the rooms is a little bit old and dusty. It is ok for 1-2 nights stay.

Three stars only because the front desk guy was nice enough to give us a refund.Ok looking place. Based off the pics anyway.... but it’s not MY kind of place. There’s a musky old smell that’s extremely prevalent in the rooms. . Not sure if that’s to go with the Moroccan theme butttttt , not feeling it. Had to purchase febreeze for it to even be liveable for the day. At the end of the 1st night I decided to go home vs stay two more nights. I honestly felt like I was staying in a guest room of a super oldddddddddddd relative.Front desk guy was super nice. It’s not that I hate the place, but I wouldn’t wanna stay more than a day. Maybe just enjoy the pool jacuzzi and saunas then go home. I wouldn’t wanna stay overnight. Not for the price listed. The max I’d pay for that MOTEL is 70$... and Id rather go home than pay that. The two saunas we tried DIDNT work. However, people there loved the place & said they stay every year. Weird? I know lolPros : the mint tea/lemonade drink was good.It’s really quiet.Bed was soft.Jazcuzi / pool area was nice.

GO HERE IMMEDIATELY! I really didnt want to leave a review bc I want this place to stay secluded but all the great people at El Morocco deserve to be recognized. We did a day at the spa and had great massages, bottle of champagne and an amazing stay by the pool. If you purchase a massage you get to hang out for the day, definitely worth it! Best hot springs pool in town. Later in our trip we had to stay the night the just to see the rooms as well. AMAZING! I love this place and will certainly be back. Thanks Ozzie and Robert!

A great place to spend the day, not sure about an overnight stay. Its a small intimate venue and what you trade for privacy and seclusion is some cleanliness, amenities and a less than spectacular location. The staff is welcoming and attentive, but not necessarily the quickest.

The El Morocco Inn and Spa has a nice website and appears to have good reviews, but dont believe what you see or read. This property is using the Moroccan theme to hide many, many, many sins. The multiple carpets strewn about the property hide the desperate need for the floors to be repaired. The yards of fabric hide the desperate need for repairs to the ceilings and the walls. The bathrooms are painted in a dark purple that makes the rooms so dark, and there are no lighting fixtures to compensate for it. If you need to shave your legs in the shower--good luck! We had to drag a lamp from the room into the bathroom and remove the shade to try to cast some light into the shower stall. The rooms I booked (3 of them) all had a smell to them that was hard to decipher. One wreaked of what smelled like cat urine. The Casablanca room, a public area for guests shows Casablanca on loop. This was fun and very entertaining, but the movie skips at a crucial point in the plot. You cant help but get dragged into the movie as it is the only room in the public guest area that shields you from the cold on those frigid desert nights. In this same room during the inclusive breakfast there was a smoke detector that beeped for over 2 hours before anyone did anything about it. If you opt to get a spa treatment while you are at the property one of the treatment rooms also wreaks of what smells like cat urine, and the massage tables used for our services (3 of them) all need to be replaced. The very large hot tub was slimy and had a funny smell beyond that of the mineral water. You could visibly see the silt at the bottom of the spa and there was a foam of gross dark bubbles lurking about it. The sauna had so many gaps in the doors that at most the room temperature was tepid. Maybe in its inception this property was amazing, but now it is so tired, and in need of repair they should start over. It most definitely does not merit the star ratings it is getting nor the price it charges for its rooms.

Me and my bestie give this place an obvious FIVE STARZ!! From the moment Debbie opened the door, we knew we were home! We werent able to book a room but we both enjoyed a massage and the spa amenities for an afternoon -- it was bliss!! We loved the baths, hammocks, Moroccan mint lemonade, and solitude of this lil gem in the desert.

Winter in Dessert Hot SpringsBeing from a town with many hot springs, I wanted to experience the natural famous agua caliente beauty in Palm Springs. After calling around for day rates without services (massage or lodging) El Morrocco was the most welcoming and reasonable. And Im so glad I made the drive up from my condo Palm Desert.Robert gave me a brief tour of the ground, from eatery and pools to sauna and Bocce court.After full day of rain that cleared the skies and freshened the air, the flooded spa pool was cloudy but smelled richly of earth and clay.A light, cool breeze gently blew the colorful window skirts around the large tiled tub, the chill in the air disappeared into the steam of the hot spa.The water is pumped in from the 120° aquifer into the 104° spa, and filters into the 98° pool.Morroccan music plays in the background, and with African desert decor- lamps, iron-adorned, key-hole windows and blue wavy tiles- you are truly transported to another time from an unsuspecting back street neighborhood.The daily entrance fee includes a robe, keyed-locker, towel, changing room, French press coffee, water and lemonade, and even a light snack if you arrive at the end of breakfast (when they open at 9). The breakfast smell of Mediterranean spices and flavorful foods permeates the air and makes me think, next time Ill stay here and hang out in the lounge, with Casablanca on loop.After a speak and a swim, spend 20min in the infrared sauna to detox.As Im married to a rugged wheelchair user, I loved seeing that there are ground floor rooms, a pool lift and a ramp in the back to access the game area.Overnight guests get 24hour access to the spa, and Id imagine that at night this pool is busy, if not packed. Its capacity is 20 or 24 (the sign has both numbers so Im not sure). But in the morning, even on a cool one like this, its empty-- just me and my thoughts, and pure gratitude. There are several couples around the pool, quietly conversing.I was worried Id get bored before my 3 hours was up, but I blink, and an hour floats by. Time is timeless here.A lovely way to spend my last morning in Palm Springs. #quaint #treatyourself #spaday

We stayed here for two nights. I really don’t know how this many people rated this place 5 stars. Objectively speaking, the spa lady was awesome, and the guy who welcomed us was very friendly. BUT, the whole facility is very old and the staff was very perfunctory when we checked out. Our shower didn’t work. The cold valve was jammed and the water temperature fluctuated a lot. They didn’t offer any compensation or effort to solve the problem. The guy at front desk was just busy charging us and getting us out without even one apology. I don’t think this experience worth $800 when you cannot even take a good hot shower in a spa resort. Besides, the carpets all look old and dirty, there are foams that look dirty in their pools and the room is kind of small and stuffy without much table space for putting down our stuff. 在这里住了两晚,我不知道这么多五星好评都是哪来的。客观地说,spa的按摩很好,最开始接待我们的小哥也很热情,整个摩洛哥风格的算别有情调。但是,整个设施太老久了,check out的时候的工作人员态度也非常敷衍!我们住在二楼尽头的房间,卫生间淋浴设施是坏的,冷水龙头拧不动,并且水温忽冷忽热。我们和工作人员反映了也没有得到任何解决。最后结账的时候,工作人员很敷衍地说过节找不到水管工,你们只能自认倒霉,一句抱歉都没有。两晚总共七八百刀的消费居然连个热水澡都洗的这么费劲。除此之外,整个resort铺的地毯看起来很脏很旧了,泳池和温泉池也翻着泡沫看起来不是很干净。房间也很小,连个放东西的台面都没有。

I wanted to feel like I had flown away to an exotic place... And choose El Morocco Inn based on a friends recommendation. It was BEYOND what I even expected! The rooms are superb, clean, well-decorated and packed with immenities. The breakfast is excellent and French roast coffee you make yourself. The facial was the best Ive ever had. I would give it 10 stars if I could. If you are looking for a relaxing or romantic get away... Choose this hotel. We will be back soon!

Review №19

Overall it was a nice stay, but the building is a bit old and the shower in our room was hardly functional (the cold water valve was jammed upon arrival and the temperature fluctuated wildly), which to us is a inexcusable for a spa resort. Unfortunately in our eyes the staff did not make an adequate effort to rectify this issue, basically just telling us to make due and offering a weak excuse about not being able to find a plumber at this time of year, and not even offering us a sincere apology. For this reason I can’t recommend staying overnight at El Morocco, even if the day spa services are still worthwhile.

I am leaving a review because I wish someone did for me. I wish I knew the stuff Im about to say in advance. Firstly, the people that work there are really nice and helpful. We left one night early because we dont like the other stuff. I really wanted to like it alot but the place is old and smells like mold in several areas. The jacuzzi area smells like really old wet towels and the rooms most of them smell really stale, none of the rooms have windows that open except for a tiny 5 inch tiny one in the bathroom. Otherwise its cute. The people are really nice and its kinda peaceful and quiet. By the way the fire pit smells a little bit like there is a gas leak.

I enjoyed my stay so much that there is a part of me that does NOT want to share this HIDDEN GEM for fear that it will change to accommodate the different lifestyles or needs of other travelers.It is a very ZEN boutique hotel with 13 rooms where no children or pets are allowed. DEFINITELY a place to relax and rejuvenate.The entrance to the hotel is very modest and unassuming, as matter fact we almost drive right past it thinking it was another home in the area. Upon entering (you must ring bell to enter), you are immediately whisked away to a different place and culture.There is simplicity but at same time, an energy and vibrancy, a feeling of being home. You can relax in the Casablanca room (check out the library of movies), lounge by the pool or enjoy some time in the spa garden, which has a life size chess board and a sauna. You can enjoy the Bogart Lemonade (a fantastic blend of mint tea and lemonade) or hydrate on their own blend of water. Take a sauna, get a massage or sit in the jacuzzi.You will become immersed in the experience through a blend of texture, color and attention to detail! There are flowing sheer purple and brocade fabric curtains, tassels, hanging lanterns, a beautiful spa garden, hammocks, comfortable lounge chairs - a fireplace and MORE! Rooms are clean and very comfortable.The hotel does not use standard coded cards for entry. They use old school keys (one for front door and one to your room). There is no smoking in the room, but you may do so in the garden area. Additionally, there is a continental breakfast (including French Press) and happy hour from 5-6 serving specialty drink of juices and sake.You will NOT want to leave here. The service is excellent, it is quiet, peaceful and very ZEN. I look forward to my next visit.

This was a little bit of a hidden gem for us!The prices for their spa day treatments are a little steep, but my friend and I really enjoyed them and highly recommend the splurge. The practitioners we got were equal parts caring and professional, really a joy to work with. If you go for a treatment, come early and enjoy the hot springs. The water is lovely, and the facility wasnt over packed with tourists.

My husband and I just stayed at El Morocco Inn for our anniversary and it was above and beyond our expectations! It was like walking into another world. The owner was very friendly and made us feel right at home, very welcoming! All the staff was so kind and helpful. We had massages done and they were so relaxing! The mineral waters were hard to leave but when we did we left feeling very refreshed and healed. We will definitely be back and recommend to everyone coming to the area!

Review №24

As walking in to this place I realized there is a very positive relaxing vibe. Along with very helpful staff and amazing services the deep tissue massage I was given was nothing short of amazing, as well as the continental breakfast. The hot springs mineral water was to die for after soaking and taking in all the benefits from that and the infrared saunas I felt amazing. Oh and definitely recommend the out door rain shower to get the full experience. I could not believe the feeling after walking out of that place it was so hard to leave I wanted to stay another month!! Will definitely be coming back to relieve some stress ASAP!

Review №25

Went in for a body scrub and clay wrap. I recieved a robe with clay stains. They did trade it out for a clean one. No big deal. Decided to have a soak in the mineral hot tub but wanted a shower rinse first. The idea of an outside shower sounded good so off I went. The shower stalls looked as though they had not been tended to in a few days. Leaf debris covered all of the floor. Yes, it was windy that morning so dont you think they would have cleaned them out? Nope. No soap to be found anywhere. I checked the other outside shower stalls and no, no soap. In all fairness I did find a very small individually wrapped soap on my locker pushed all the way in the corner, as if it were hiding. No moustirizer or toiletries out anywhere. So make sure to bring your own. One note on the clay wrap- I had clay coming off my body for two days! I sat in a towel in the car on the way home as I was a passenger in a friends brand new automobile. You guessed it- the towel had clay on it!The clay removal process was unusual. I stood in a bathtub with a sprayer and sprayed away. I did ask the esthetician/masseuse (whom I do recommend Maria) for assistance after awhile in the tub. It was an old rusty shower set-up.You decide was it worth 200.00?

Came to El Morocco Inn and Spa Resort for a relaxing day - a time to destress in the hot springs. the calm atmosphere of the place is inspired by Morocco with hammocks, lanterns, and prints throughout the resort. the jacuzzi is a nice ~107°F mineral spring water. they also have dried fruits and hot tea and coffee as well. another gem is the fact that this place is not overly crowded. such a restful and relaxing experience.

El Morocco Inn and Spa is one of the best places Ive ever had the pleasure of staying in. Now that may not really mean anything without context so I will explain. I have travelled all over the world, have been on every continent except Australia and Antarctica, my lodgings ranging from humble pensiones to lifestyle of the rich and famous caliber, award winning hotels so I can maybe that can add a little bit more validity to my apparently hyperbolic statement.From the moment you walk through the beautiful ornate carved doors you are transported into an experience. The owners have taken care to decorate the place impeccably, making one feel like theyve been transported to Morocco using the finest silk curtains, exotic decorations, lantern, rugs and anything you can think of to transport you to the far away lands of Northern Africa. Nothing is out of place. Everything is perfectly balanced. Nothing is kitschy, tacky or overdone.I arrived in the early evening, the heat was still a very vivid presence all around me and definitely contributed to the atmosphere of the North African desert. The beautiful pink clouds shimmered and reflected on the central pool which I would is filled with 92 degree water fed directly from a mineral spring directly underneath. This spring is really the main attraction and I would have come if this hotel was just a pile of concrete and plastic on top of such beneficial waters. Because of the type of rock that is beneath the resort the water that emerges from the spring emerges odorless and full of beneficial mood enhancing minerals such as lithium and other compounds they make you feel absolutely calm and at ease.But this place is indeed no pile of concrete and plastic but instead of beautifully curated museum of Moroccan artifacts with rooms that are ordinate but still quite comfortable a staff that is both friendly and amenable and a list of incredible details that really put this experience over the top.Heres one such detail: When I arrived in the early evening I was greeted by the staff with signature cocktail being served poolside. The crowd was all adults, mostly couples. Everybody was friendly and well behaved almost as if the hotel had chosen only great guests. I came to find out the hotel only attracts great gas because of its amazing amenities and offerings.To my right in the beautiful kitchen there was a display of delightful small bites: dates, dried figs, dried apricots cookies, tea. Ice cold coconut mint water fed directly from one of the two springs available to them.The pool, 104 degree spring fed jacuzzi and 2 saunas are available 24/7 to guests and if you can pull yourself out of the water and explore the grounds you will make even more delightful discoveries like the lounge filled with books and movies to borrow and where a screen plays the movie Casablanca 24/7 on a loop. Over night they leave a large decanter of delicious Sherry for guests to enjoy and I urge future guests not to miss it. Wandering the grounds will bring you to beautiful gardens where you can find a giant chess board with pieces, bocce ball, numerous hammocks chairs, cushions a tent reminiscent of the times of the sultans.When I finally got to my room I was pleasantly surprised to find a extremely comfortable bed powerful AC, a mini bar a microwave a DVD player a flat screen TV with Netflix, not that I was planning to spend any time indoors whatsoever. The showers are beautifully appointed and the water for guests use is also fed from the spring. After my stay, my skin was glowing and my hair was softer than its been in years.And they have a spa, or you can get any treatment that you desire, massages, facials, scrubs, combinations. I had one of the best massages that Ive had in the last couple of years.I love this place. Ill definitely be back. Im counting the days when I have the opportunity to do so. Ive already spoken to some friends about making this at least a yearly trip.

A wonderful place for rest and relaxation. Meditation garden is exceptional. Spring fed pool and spa are sparkling and offer the healing waters the area is known for.Spa services can’t be missed. Whatever spa treatment you have will be beyond luxurious with exotic oils and atmosphere.Overall, you will feel as though you have been transported to Morocco the moment you arrive and you will not want to leave.

If I could live here I would! Lol Its taking me months to write this review only for my own selfish reasons. I really dont want to ruin the simplicity of the El Morocco by bringing excessive amounts of people. then again who am I to say that will or wont happen?So here it goes! -They beyond exceeded my vision of what it would be like. The manager was so sweet and welcoming even though I was late to check in. She knows the area very well and was kind enough to provide me with so much knowledge and history about desert hot springs and their amazing healing water. I really enjoyed our conversation. If you are looking to RELAX, chill, have some wine, do some yoga, meditate, sulk in the healing spas, get a massage, swing on a hammock, finish that book u never get the chance to or if u just need a safe, beautiful yet humble place to escape and relieve your mind, body and spirit of stress and toxicity then this is your place. Its even more than that. Make your reservations in advance and get there before 7pm to check in. Order a massage prior or when u check in if youre stay is limited to just 1 night. They have an eclectic variety of books and movies in the library for you enjoy durning your stay. There was an awesome happy hour when I was there with cheese and all sorts of little goodies. There is a fire pit at night and their meditation garden makes a beautiful start to your day over a complimentary cup of French pressed coffee. Youll enjoy your stay here, & youll miss it when u leave! Unless your a person who just is miserable and never happy. If thats you, then stay away from here. Go to the Ritz Carlton where youll feel more comfortable. Please dont pollute our desert and leave your city stink at our sacred places we love and respect.☆ I hope this review was helpful for those of you who are looking to excape and go somewhere, BREATHE, to nurture yourself, to relieve stress, any pain or anxiety. I hope you find peace within, just as I did. ️Aloha

Came here with some friends for a bachelorette party day spa and massages excursion. The Inn is in a residential looking neighborhood so it took us a minute to find it, but it was well worth it. The staff was super friendly and helpful. There was a covered indoor mineral water hot tub and a slightly cooler outdoor pool. There were infared steam rooms, places to lounge, complementary tea, coffee, and snacks. We all had different massages and they were wonderful. The only mild inconvenience was that there were some renovations happening to make everything ADA accessible so the bathrooms were a bit torn up. It should be great once theyre finished! We didnt stay at the hotel so cant comment on that. Would definitely visit again!

Review №49

The pool area, spa and room design are all fabulous; the Moroccan design is beautifully done. Some significant drawbacks: the A/C is NOISY, shower heads are mounted too low for tall people, and the king bed (rm 107) is actually two single mattresses, so if youre alone you tend to roll into the gap. The place is only staffed 8am-7pm, which has the advantage of feeling more exclusive after hours but also a tad inconvenient if you need something which is not an emergency

El Morocco Inn is pleasantly quaint, relaxing, and has an exceptionally friendly and welcoming staff. You cant buy anything there - drinks, snacks, movies, and evening libation are all free. The only thing you can buy is the spa services. The room we stayed in was rustic yet clean and delightful. The hot spring pool and jacuzzi tub were quite nice. Not sure I get the whole hot spring deal but it was good. The only single blemish was that the spa service did not live up to the spa menu or the quality of the Inn and staff itself. Maybe my expectations were too high but my Thai massage seemed more like some other type of massage, I know it wasnt Thai, thats for sure.

This boutique Inn is a real find in the midst of Desert Hot Springs, I almost dont want to give it away! The décor is so over the top Moroccan that it works really well to transport you away. The atmosphere is calm and relaxing from the 87 degree pool water to the 104 degree covered spa room. Complimentary breakfast beautifully done and more than enough to get you going for the day. Be back in time for poolside Morocco-tinis at cocktail hour, a rosewater hand washing ritual, and Spanish Cream Sherry nightcap. Stephanie and the rest of the staff were exceptional.
