Indian Palms Vacation Club

It has a bit of age to it, but that was part of the charm. Driving by LadyBird Johnson Street was quite the keen time. We got to see a roadrunner roaming down the street, and hanging out with pro golfers was quite the treat. They have 3 gold courses in the timeshare. So if you like Old Hollywood, hanging out with the PGA, or even going to Joshua Tree National Park (30 minutes away), this is the place for you.

We were looking forward to a restful time in Indio. We had issues from the start. The unit was very run down and needs a major upgrade. The Wi-Fi is atrocious. The gate access was a joke. First it was there is a camera system that recognizes your license plate, Wrong, then it is, here is a key card that will work at any gate, wrong. The unit was to be cleaned twice that week. Well if we hadn't gone down to ask about it, that wouldn't happen. So I totally recommend not ever staying at Indian Palms.

Booked this spot through RCI for a friend’s wedding and it was decently situation. This would be a really good spot for Coachella. The way in was a little confusing, but essentially, once you put in the address on Google maps you’re taken to the entrance with a guard station. From there, you can put in directions for the Indian Palms Vacation Club main office, and that’s where you’ll check in/can navigate how to get to your unit from there. I was in a space that could hold up to 6 people and the 5 of us fit okay. There was one king bed, two twins, and a pullout couch that was a full size. They didn’t clean our rooms during the 3 days we were there as they only come on certain days during the week. Free parking but you’re limited to two passes. Limit one for the transponder and if you lose it, it’s a $250 fee. There is a kitchen and it has a fridge/microwave/dishwasher. There is a hairdryer in the cabinet. All the bedrooms were located upstairs. The gated community it’s located in is very quiet. We couldn’t quite figure out how to work the coffee machine and there’s no water filter but there were supermarkets/a target close by. There’s only one bathroom with a shower; the downstairs one didn’t have one. There is a pool and hot tub nearby. Overall, it’s a decent place to sleep.

Not what I was expecting. I am staying here for a week and am not impressed. $25 per day resort fee yet this is NO resort. No private balcony, the outside area from the back of the room is shared with the residents and other guests. Pool is small. No fitness center, no rec room, no sauna. Internet doesn't reach our room and we can't connect any devices. Nothing that really equates this to a resort except for the little signs in the room saying you're at a hotel. Otherwise it feels like an airbnb. Office is only open til 5pm and they don't forward their phones so if you call after hours it just rings and rings. (My check in information didn't show their other on call number) Upon arrival the front gate security said there's no hotel here and to just drive around to the back and hope i find it. Sounds good. So what are we paying an additional $175 for??? You can't even order supplies for your room after 3pm. After that it's "emergencies only". THE RESORT FEE IS A JOKE BC WHAT AM I EVEN GETTING THAT IS ANYTHING RESORT LIKE?????? NEVER COMING BACK.

When booking with points, be sure you are aware of the many added expenses such as daily resort fees, parking fees, and extra cleaning fees for short stays. This particular resort charges twenty five dollars per day for a resort fee.

There is only one bathroom for six people and also no attached bathroom facility. The entire week no housekeeping staff came to clean the room. We have asked the office to look into it but no use. There is no proper signboard to find out the room.
