Club Intrawest

Coach roaches!!! We saw probably 8 coach roaches during our two night stay. When we told the front desk, they didn’t seem phased. Also, they don’t give you towels at the pool, you have to bring it from your room. Definitely not a luxury resort.

We love Club Intrawest and have been coming here for over 4 years. The rooms are nicely appointed and the outdoor area is lovely. The clubhouse is beautiful with a fitness center, movie theater, large pool and jacuzzi. The staff is very accommodating. We had a 2 bedroom unit and had everything we needed. My only complaint is that the furniture is deteriorating a bit. The couch has become very low and soft… not comfortable at all. That is the main seating in the living space. It is hard to sit and watch TV or read for any length of time. I hope this can be remedied soon.

So this place is great. Spanish style look and feel. Like all time shares it lacks in enough pans, bowls, etc. but you can manage. They do have a long list of cooking items you can borrow from their main kitchen. That’s a must. Ralph’s grocery store is walking distance.
I’ve read several reviews about an outdoor shower, we don’t have one. We are in the two bedroom lock off 17 – 1 &. 17 – 3. We do have a fireplace outside to enjoy while you eat outdoors since there is no real dinning table.
Bring your own coffee as they only have enough for one pot. The adult pool by us is really just am over sized jacuzzi. No one really there though. Plan to head to the big family pool.
No curtains on the showers, but that’s the Spanish style showers. There is a radio and dvd player. Televisions are super small even in the living room, but tolerable. It’s a beautiful place. And I would stay here again through Hilton grand vacations. We stayed at the club Intrawest Vancouver and it was even more amazing!!! A great time share club.

Great room. It even has an enclosed outdoor shower. It was fun to take a shower and look out at the desert in the mountains. We got a one bedroom which was perfect for two people. The pool areas are very nice and have a umbrellas for shade. The only downfall is that they are doing construction next door so it’s really noisy at 6 AM.

The rooms are very nice and clean. The big shower in the one bedroom is amazing! The grounds of the places are outstanding. Every morning I would sit on the patio with my coffee and watch the grounds crew clean the pool area and BBQ area. They really take pride in making this place clean. The staff was very friendly and helpful at check in. I still have a few more days to enjoy this place, but I know I will be back!
Also they have a laundry facility with soap, so don’t pack a lot you can always wash for free!

This place is beautiful. Ive been coming here since i was a little girl and its never disappointed. Its always spotless. The workers are extremely nice and helpful. Very private and quiet. Theres like 5 different pools 2 of which are adult pools which is nice.
They have tennis courts, basketball courts, an arcade, a movie theatre, and bbq grills. I love this place and I’m so glad we are members :)
Nowhere else compares!

Nice timeshare property! We stayed 10÷2−4, 2014. It was really hot this year over 105 degree every day. But we just could relax and my kids really enjoyed the stay here. All amenities are free such as renting movie, arcade games! it is quiet and no busy family trafic too. If you like to stay and relax for vacation, you should stay here.

Nice place. My girl friend invited us again to this place. We stayed 5 days. A truly 5 star time sharing. Nice landscape, clean, quiet and spacious rooms. We had a very nice relaxing vacation. By the way, I left my pc power charge there, I called. They have no problem mail to me immediately. What a pleasant staff and efficient service. Highly recommended a place to go.

What a nice timeshare! This place has everything — pools, lounge chairs, bbq, gym (small, but all the necessary equipment) and a movie theatre. The whole site is landscaped beautifully and very well-​maintained. No garbage/​weeds/​any eyesores anywhere in site.
The Spanish-​style rooms are very clean, cool, and spacious. The floors are concrete which is awesome when it’s 100+ degrees out. The only thing missing from the kitchenette is an oven… Everything else is there. The bedrooms have HUGE showers and HUGE comfy beds.

I just got back from my second stay at Club Intrawest and I am extremely pleased. I’ve stayed in both their 1 bedroom and 2 bedroom villas and they are absolutely amazing. Our two bedroom came with a fully equipped kitchen and two very large bedrooms. Every room has it’s own patio with a gas fireplace. During our first stay we even had our very own private outdoor shower. The resort has a very southwestern style feel that suits Palm Desert perfectly. I called a few hours before our check in time to see if we could check in early and they had our room ready exactly when we arrived and there was no early check in fee. Will definitely be back!

My wife & I love this timeshare. Located just far enough, but yet close enough, to everything in the desert. The suites are extra large and clean. The staff is friendly and helpful. Don’t expect room or pool service, but do expect ample elbow room at the many pools, a workout room, free laundry rooms, daily movie viewings in their small theatre, and/​or free CD’s to borrow. Highly recommend if you are going to the desert for piece of mind…

My boyfriend’s family and I stayed at Club Intrawest in August to finish off the summer with a fun trip to Palm Desert. My boyfriend’s parents are members of the Hilton Grand Vacations Club and this is one of the resorts to choose from.
The resort is spectacular — a southwestern style feel throughout — well fitting with the Palm Desert landscape. We stayed in a one-​bedroom suite which included a kitchenette, living room area, nice sized bathroom with a full shower, an outdoor shower off the bedroom, and a spacious outdoor patio with a fireplace.
There was a pool close to our room, but we found that the pool near the front desk was a lot bigger and even had a volleyball net set up. We also found out that they have an arcade room and pool table by the big pool, so we ended up spending a lot of time there.
The resort staff was extremely friendly and accommodating. If you ever needed anything, they were there to help you. They have a great entertainment rental program at the front desk if you want to borrow DVDs or board games and take them to your room. They have a whole binder full of movie titles and board games to choose from. All you have to do is request it, and if it isn’t already checked out by another guest, you can take it to your room right away! That worked out great for us when my boyfriend, his sister, and I didn’t feel like swimming and wanted to watch a movie!
With all the positives, there were only a few negatives. For one, the shower in the bathroom was poorly designed. There was no door or curtain set up for the shower at all. I was completely shocked by this — I mean, water would get EVERYWHERE. So my boyfriend and I avoided that shower and stuck with the outdoor one with our bathing suits on. Talk about weird.
The other issue we had was that there was little to no shelter from the rain near the pools. During the summer, even though you’re in Palm Desert, there’s still going to be rain! So we had all our belongings by the pool, including phones, room keys, dry towels, and the only «shelter» from the rain were these little umbrellas that just did not work to keep the water off our stuff. Even the «roof» near the front desk building was basically a grate, letting rain right through, so that didn’t work either. So that was extremely frustrating. We suggest that you either leave most of your belongings in your room — or bring a bag to put them in!
But all in all, we had a great time at Club Intrawest — we’d definitely recommend it to other Hilton Grand Vacation Club members and other guests as well!

So awesome! We loved the décor and overall feel of the place. Beautifully done and the outdoor private rain shower was pretty amazing.

Great place to stay that is close to everything in the valley… Christina at the front desk is first class, just like the property. It is a little big property or a small big property. Close to the golf course and nice private rooms with nice elbow room. It is so nice to see them enforce the NO DOG’s policy. People we talked to have come here 6 out of the past 7 years and find it is alway clean, tiddy and fun.

Stayed here during Coachella… and even before stepping into the unit, knew it would be about 10.5 billion times better than camping outdoors. So there’s that.
The rooms were very well-​sized, the kitchenette (more of a full kitchen, really!) was spacious and well-​stocked with cooking supplies, and the outdoor patio area is such a nice place to sit and enjoy the beautiful desert mornings/​evenings. Also love that there’s a fireplace outfitted in every unit, next to the patio.
Only weird part was the fact that the shower in the ‘master’ bedroom, as well as one of the two showers in the smaller bedroom, didn’t have a shower curtain… or a door… or any closure, really. So you just had to let it all hang out. We ended up showering in our bathing suits to make things less awkward.
They have ‘key’ wristbands, which are also really helpful, so you don’t have to spend years rummaging around in your bag to find a key card. You just have to touch the sensor on your wristband to the door, and boom! It’s open. Very handy!
Another weird thing is the wifi, which only allows for 3 people to access it at one time. Considering the unit we booked was meant for 6, and we all had iPhones, it was a little inconvenient to have to call up reception and get another wifi code. Not a huge deal though, I guess.
Lastly…the location is really random. It’s just a weird patch of sandy desert and then… there’s a hotel. Maybe this is just with all things in the desert. Still a little creepy if you ever wanted to go outside at night.

Amazing! i was beyond thrilled when i entered our hotel room (southwestern style with a full kitchen/​bathroom bigger than my house!). Great style and amazing views of the desert. I had the most wonderful experience here and i will be returning next year. I booked it on
the service was great and there was also lots of bunnies and roadrunners that were little cuties:)

Club Intrawest Palm Desert
— A gorgeous, secluded, quiet golf resort, with spacious, well furnished «apts», luxurious club house, spa, pools!!!
My wife and I just had another great 5night stay here in late Sept. We had a grand time as usual. That was expected, as Club Intrawest does maintain its HIGH STANDARD — our unit was maticulously maintainted; the upkeep of the premises was supurb! All the staff was friendly and helpful. They gave us good recommendations on local events and great directions!
Ours is a 1-​bedroom unit upstairs (16 – 2), which has a large open terrace with a fireplace, facing the family pool below. The living quarter comes with a huge, nicely furnished living room, very bright with large windows; a well-​equipped kitchennette with all the essentials, plus a separate good size ice maker unit! The bedroom has a large shower stall, plus another spacious, attached private shower stall next to the terrace as well! There’s TV in the living room and bedroom, of course. The one in the living room is too small, however. The sinks and appliances are a bit dated, but clean and well maintainted. On the ground floor, each building has a laundary room, free. even stocked with free detergents!
— I’d give it the 5^th Star, after the appliances are updated.
The Club is huge, luxurious, and welcoming! It houses the adult pool and a Fitness Room, a small, classy movie room and a game room. Right next to the Club House is another building for the SPA! The golf course is of championship caliber. Besides golf, there is also a tennis facility.
BTW: A supermarket and the popular Morton’s Steak House are conveniently located only 0.25 mi away from Club Intrawest. For a couple of evenings, my wife got something from the Supermarket, and put our kitchen to good use!
SOME FUN STUFF WE DID AROUND TOWN:
— In addition to many fun stuff to do on the premises, there are tons of others to do outside!
— Almost everywhere in town is only 15−30min drive away. We visited the charming Old Town in La Quinta; had fun in the Farmer’s Market and Art Fair (Thu/​Sat evenings only) in Palm Desert downtown, where we were awed by the 26ft towering sculpture of «Forever Marilyn»; enjoyed shopping and movies in Westfeld Mall… happy hours everywhere including Mamma Gina on El Paseo!!!
— To top it off, we spent a glorious day hiking in the magnificent Joshua Tree National Park (60+min drive to the «Yacca Valley» Entrance)
BTW:
— Over the years, we have visited other Club Intrawest properties in several locations including Canada and Mexico, this one in Palm Desert meets Intrawest’s high standards, and does have its own unique, desert charm. We like coming here to enjoy the summer and autumn!
— Do try to make your reservations EARLY, very early!

I really like Club Intrawest– Their design made us feel like we live in a desert. The place is clean and their design for two rooms looks open and roomy. Their design and décor are nice and colorful. They don’t have house keeping service for us staying a week, but they told us to leave trash outside and they will take care of it. They have a theater but their selection of movies are limited. They have board games and video for us to rent. Their kiddy pool are nice with a water pad for the kids to play with. It’s a nice vacation club that I would return again. They have a game room where you can place fooseball, ice hockey and lots of other games for free!

My girlfriends parents own a timeshare here. My girlfriends and I came out here for an extended girls weekend. It was great! The two bedroom suite was huge and it slept 7 of us confortably. We have a great huge kitchen with an island and amazing outdoor patio. The beds were soft and warm and the showers were clean and hot.
This place has multiple pools through out the area. The scenery is just beautiful. Do know this is a quieter place. There are no restaurants or bars on site. However, your within close driving distance.

A couple I know owns a timeshare here and me and a bunch of my girlfriends stay for free for a bachelorette party! This place was so much better than I expected! We got a two bedroom timeshare, and it was huuge. There was a huge kitchen area with an island, microwave/​oven, utensils, plates, fridge, freezer, and coffee maker.
The beds were soo comfortable — not too soft or too hard… very plush, I just wanted to lie in it and snooze the night away (oh wait, I did!). One room had two twins and the other room came with a California king. The living room couch is huge and pulls out into a bed. There’s cable tv too in case you get bored, though I don’t know how that’s possible when this place offers tennis courts, a golf course, and even a hiking trail on top of your various pools and spas. They have an area called «family pool» and another area for the «adult pools». There’s also a cute back patio with a fireplace.
Right down the hill is a plaza with Ralph’s and CVS so if you need breakfast foods and late night drinks or desserts like we did, it’s only a 5 minute drive away.
Easy check-​in and check-​out process. Great place, it’s like coming to a celeb rehab center (hee hee jk) or one of those crazy «real world» living spaces they provide — bright colored walls and hip décor makes this an unforgettable resort.
