4 of 5 stars Reviewed 22 March 2013

Seven rooms are very clean and comfortable with salt water pool clothing optional sun bathing. Guests tend to be 30's and 40's and very friendly. Very nice continental breakfast with 24hr coffee and sodas. Parking in front of the resort and near several other gay resorts. I would stay again and also pet friendly.

This was our second visit, and as fine as could be; Scott and Michael are lovely hosts, helpful but not intrusive. We especially like the suites with a kitchen for lunch and some dinners. The place is impeccibly clean, and the guests tend to the classier side. The expanded continental breakfast is a fine addition.

We have been traveling to PS for some time and have stayed at many of the local resorts. We stayed here based on the recommendation of friends and were not disappointed. The owners have taken care to create a comfortable and sophisticated resort with comfort and luxury in mind. The full kitchen in our room was well-appointed as was the... More

I stayed here at the beginning of October for two nights. It was close to flawless. The rooms were well appointed and the beds were excellent. This resorts is on the small side but that is what made it perfect for me. The pool and hot tub areas were very nice and the place was spotlessly clean. The owners take... More

We usually stay in one particular resort in Warm Sands but on our last visit we found it rather tired and jaded so decided to try somewhere new on our latest visit and chose the Desert Eclipse. We couldn't have picked anywhere better. The rooms were spotless, the grounds well maintained ( even though the breeze and leaves were driving... More

My boyfriend, dog, and I needed a quick weekend getaway and stayed at this highly recommended resort from Trip Advisor. We were not disappointed at all! We are very fortunate to be able to travel as much as we do and stay at dozens of hotels each year. Simply said- the Desert Eclipse and its owners/ operators Michael and Scott... More

I spent four nights at the Desert Eclipse in late-April 2012. I can't think of a negative thing to say. I had a great time. The place is immaculate; the service outstanding; and the vibe relaxed, friendly, and comfortable. I'm looking forward to my next stay.

Spent the New Years holiday here and enjoyed the relaxed ambience. There was no road noise and the guests were considerate as the rooms are fairly close. The rooms were nicely appointed and very clean. The pool was perfectly heated and quite inviting. I would stay here again without hesitation. Most of the other patrons were repeat clients which speaks... More
