I stayed at Nine Palms Resort with my family and our dog, and overall it was a peaceful experience. The staff was very helpful throughout, even though they were short-staffed during our visit. Because of that, the property could’ve been maintained a little better, and we had to order food from outside, but their effort and hospitality really stood out. The highlight for me was the swimming pool — clean, empty, and felt almost private! They also had a pool/snooker table which added to the fun. It’s a little away from the main city, but the calm atmosphere made it worth it. Pet-friendly, calm, and welcoming — a good place for a short getaway.
