Renaissance Esmeralda Resort & Spa, Indian Wells, Indian Wells

My stay at the hotel was fantastic! The location is superb, surrounded by shops and wonderful restaurants, and just next to the children's beach. The rooms were lovely and spacious, although a bit overpriced, and the service was top-notch, with well-trained and informed staff. The only downside was the noise from the trash truck early in the morning for rooms facing the golf course. The dining experience was enjoyable, with delicious options. Overall, a great desert location with friendly service and beautiful rooms.

The hotel offers very large rooms with ample space, which my kids didn't find appealing, but they are comfortable. Most guests at the pool were adults, and services were speedy and accommodating for a business conference. The location is very nice and convenient, with a bar on-site. The dining experience at Tommy Bahamas was wonderful, offering inexpensive and delicious options for all guests. Facilities are well-maintained and adequate for a pleasant stay.

My stay at the hotel was a mixed bag. The rooms, although spacious and recently renovated, had some cleanliness issues like nasty carpet and mystery stains on the ottomans. On the bright side, they overlooked the pool, which was a nice view. The service was a bit hit or miss, with some confusion over packages but overall being helpful, especially with blocking off chairs for guests. The location was decent, with a grand staircase and a good bar, perfect for accessing nearby attractions like the Celebrity Golf Course and the tennis stadium shuttle. The dining experience was enjoyable, with delicious options like hand-made pasta, although a frustration with earning points. The facilities were decent, catering well to guests' needs.
