My partner and I had an amazing weekend stay at Sagewater Spa recently. It was so wonderful, we added a third night and headed back for work at 5am Monday morning. The magic of this small, intimate, cozy hotel is its balance of light and water. The light is clear and white - the water is clear and mineral-laden. The... More

We had a wonderful time at Sagewater Spa in April 2012. We really recommended it. Great location, great pool with hot mineral water and amazing vistas, nice room, very friendly owners. Thank you, Rhoni and Cristina, for hospitality and home grown oranges and grapefruits for trip to Joshua Tree National Park. More

Brought my parents here for a night upon recommendation from a friend. It is a bit pricey, one night at $350 for three people. Wish they allowed small dogs, as I travel everywhere with my little one. The owners are the sweetest. Great customer service and great energy. All I can say is that before judging the rooms and motel,... More

.."it was an amazing time and I will definitely be back." . We enjoyed meeting your parents and after their long trip from Europe it was wonderful to see them renew in our pure clean mineral water pool. All of our rooms are designed for two people and when we able to accommodate a third person in a room there... More

We arrived at Sagewater Spa from a long flight from the east coast. I have a lot of pressure in my work and my husband and I came to the hotel to relax and soak in the pool. Sagewater Spa is beyond even what I expected. The service and caring of the owners & staff was excellent more than I... More

You are incredibly generous to write about your trip to Sagewater Spa. As artists and travelers you understood our mission, to provide a comfortable clean environment for total relaxation. I must say for Atlantic ocean people you really enjoyed our warm waters!! It always amazes guests about how quiet it is here and how they are brought back to themselves... More

Fantastic little hideaway. The pool was marvelous and the rooms basic but very comfortable. We enjoyed being able to either hideaway in our room or be sociable at the barbeque during the evening. Particular thanks to Cristina and Rhoni for helping get my belongings back that I managed to leave behind. Hope that one day I'm back in this part... More

My bf and I stayed for a weekend in April to celebrate my birthday. Midcentury, minimal, modern...yes. Pools...amazing. The water in Desert Hot Springs is no joke! We loved the water. Unfortunately, the weekend we stayed the owners were not there and I would guess, based on the vast majority of reviews, that our experience would have been different if... More

Today we received two reviews, one from well traveled guests who have found their happy place. The other from  guests who were not as pleased. While we know that we can't make everyone happy all the time, everyone has different needs and expectations, we are in a service industry and from previous reviews you can see that we take this...

Monday morning is not too bad after a weekend at the spa. Really, for around 200 bucks a night you can't go wrong. We stayed in the Mountain room,. which afforded a wonderful view of the San Jacinto and San Gregonio mountains. Rhoni and Cristina are like friends now; wonderful hosts. And of course, the water. Drink, drink, drink, and... More

Cristina and Rhoni helped craft a wonderful getaway for me at the Sagewater spa. Their personal attention, which went well beyond a warm daily greeting to suggestions on where to visit and eat to a genuine interest in me and and my stay, combined with the healing energy of the spa itself were just what I needed.

This little mid-century motel and spa has been completely restored to it's minimalist origins, and is just terrific. It's a small place with a large pool (at about 90º) and a small pool (at about 104º), so the pool never feels crowded. It's a very restful and relaxing place, and very quiet. The owners make sure you have a wonderful... More

What a great place, with outstanding hostesses. We just returned from an extended trip to Sagewater Spa where, to be honest, most of our time was spent at the pool relaxing, or sitting around the BBQ having interesting conversations with other guests. The pool is always the right temperature, and the sun seems to always shine. A perfect combination. Cris... More
