    Marriott always provides the best in comfort. Secure beautiful surroundings. Many resort amenities, including a PGA golf course, many swimming pools, tennis courts (pickleball courts), workout gym, and daily activities for the guests. The resort is only a 15 minute drive from the Indian Wells Tennis tournament, which is going during the week being rented.

    Rare Legacy week #18 in prime Platinum season before it gets too warm. Close to casinos, fine dining and lots of golf. We are in our 80's and no longer able to travel. The maintenance fees equates to about $320 per night. A real bargain for a Marriott.

    This is a great property! I am a huge fan of Marriott and looked at a lot of others before I decided to "dig in" with this one. The villa is equipped with everything you would need. The amenities are excellent as is everything about this gorgeous resort! Shopping and restaurants are close by. I Really recommend that you stat here if you are in the Palm Desert area!

    I have come here every year for 20 years or so. The resort is just hard to beat. Great quality. Good activities. Respect from the staff. Lovely people and a lovely place. I return. I love the area. I come mainly for the awesome coachella valley hiking, but swim every day, play the free resort mini golf, even play billiards and shuffleboard. It feels so safe. The rooms are clean and sound proof.

  • Great property. Great for tennis fans but also the best time of year to be in Palm Springs (palm dessert) with a world class golf course.

    This is my home resort and I have been coming here since early 2000. They just renovated the units so they feel new. Beautiful golf course view. Excellent bar/restaurant on the premises, fitness center, and several swimming pools. Ideal location.

    Marriott’s Shadow Ridge is one of those rare resorts that truly works for everyone. If you’re looking for peace and quiet, the grounds are beautifully maintained, spacious, and relaxing, with plenty of calm areas to unwind, enjoy the sunshine, or take in the desert views. At the same time, families will love it here. The pool complex is a standout, especially the kids’ water play area and lazy river, which keep younger guests entertained for hours without feeling crowded or chaotic.

    For golf lovers, the Shadow Ridge Golf Club is a huge bonus. The course is in excellent condition, playable for all skill levels, and surrounded by classic Palm Desert scenery that makes every round enjoyable. Add in comfortable villas, convenient on-site dining, friendly staff, and easy access to Palm Springs attractions, and Shadow Ridge becomes the kind of place where adults can relax, kids can have fun, and everyone leaves feeling like they got exactly the vacation they wanted.

    Marriott's Shadow Ridge - The Villages is a beautiful resort with well-appointed villas, grounds, pools, spa and recreational facilities and events. Great location in Palm Desert with plenty of attractions to keep you entertained and relaxed. It's easy to get around in the Palm Desert-Palm Springs area and the old-Hollywood, mid-century feel is so much fun!

    Love this resort and is centrally located with stores and freeway close by. So many great activities available for both adults and children. My husband and I love to come with our kids and grandkids because there is so much to do within the resort itself.
