Rooms & Dining
The JW Marriott Desert Springs Resort boasts nearly 900 guest accommodations, 51 of which are suites, and many offer sweeping views of the Santa Rosa Mountain cascade. Room amenities include private balconies or patios, minibars, in-room safes, custom bedding with triple sheets, and entertainment centers with TVs and Sony CD players. Decorated in granite, limestone, and Italian marble, graciously appointed bathrooms include separate tubs and shower facilities. Some rooms offer living, dining, and pantry areas; the Chairman's Suite even features a baby grand piano.
With seven restaurants on site, guests can select from an extensive menu of international cuisines. Diners can sample steak, chicken, and seafood fare in a dramatic fashion at Mikado Japanese Steakhouse, a teppanyaki-style dining venue where Samurai-inspired chefs expertly prepare meals in front of guests. Italian aficionados will enjoy Ristorante Tuscany, while fine dining can be had at Lake View Restaurant, which offers California and spa cuisine served buffet-style for breakfast and lunch and prime rib and seafood buffet dinners on Fridays and Saturdays. For a more casual setting, the poolside Oasis Grill is a good choice. Spa Bistro serves organic dishes (the portion-controlled spa menu is offered at all restaurants), while the Lobby Bar features specialty drinks and fresh sushi. Kosher, vegetarian, and vegan diets can be catered to upon request.

Activities
The JW Marriott Desert Springs Resort offers a good number of activities to keep guests of all ages busy. Sports aficionados can tee off on one of two Ted Robinson-designed championship golf courses—The Palm and The Valley—or practice their backhand on one of 20 lighted tennis courts. Instruction is offered for both fitness endeavors for guests wanting to brush up on their game.
While the grown-ups play, younger guests, ages 4 to 12, can have fun at the Kid's Klub, with organized activities like boat rides, scavenger hunts, and animal tours. The resort's aquatic oasis comprises pools and Jacuzzis with water and golf views, along with an adults-only spa pool. On the weekends, guests can dance into the wee hours at the on-site Costas Nightclub.
