Aqua Soleil Hotel & Mineral Water Spa

I stayed two nights at Aqua Soleil in Desert Hot Springs during a business trip and had a genuinely great experience. I usually book through hotels.com but thought to book directly through the hotel website. I also like that there is free parking and I can park my own vehicle. Omari checked me in and gave me a lovely second-floor room facing the pool and spa. After the first night, though, it became clear the mattress wasn’t up to standard — it felt unusually broken. I was hesitant to say anything since I almost never complain at hotels, but the next morning Kathy at the front desk was cheerful, attentive, and immediately re-assigned me to the Audrey Hepburn room (105) on the ground floor, also facing the pool. The room was perfect and the mattress was comfortable. What really stood out was that later that day, while I was on a call by the pool, I happened to see staff actually removing the mattress from my original room. I truly felt seen. When I mentioned it to Kathy, she smiled and said, “I told them.” That level of follow-through is rare and appreciated. The mineral spring–fed pool and spa are wonderful, and the guests I met there were incredibly friendly. One woman I spoke with stays twice a month — which says a lot. The evening winds were strong during my stay (January 2026), and staff were immediately out cleaning debris from the pool area. The property is clearly well cared for. Kathy also told me about Acres Landing, the mineral hot springs resort behind Aqua Soleil with Airstreams - owned by the same hotel group. I checked it out while I was there and absolutely plan to stay there in the future. I also like that the mineral water spas aren't chlorinated. I also met Juan, who is preparing to open the restaurant at Aqua Soleil, and I’m looking forward to coming back to enjoy his food and drinks once it opens. It's also convenient that Grocery Outlet is across the street so you can get snacks, beverages, adult beverages etc across the street. If you’re considering staying at Aqua Soleil, go ahead and book. It’s worth it.

Love the experience

We really enjoyed our stay at Aqua Soleil Hotel & Mineral Water Spa. The mineral pools were excellent, and the water temperature was very comfortable — perfect for relaxing. The value truly matches the price, and you get exactly what you expect (and more). The entrance was beautifully decorated for Christmas, which added a nice, cozy touch to the stay. The massage was absolutely amazing — extremely relaxing and very professional. I highly recommend booking a massage here. We would definitely come back.
