Top Joshua Tree Hotel Reviews

The Bungalows by Homestead Modern at The Joshua Tree Retreat Center

8/10 Good

"The bungalows themselves were modern and pretty. Our stove had take across it so couldn’t use it, and our dining table was dirty as if it’d gotten missed in the cleaning. We were unable to find the pool, and the cafe was never open when we were there - not sure if it’s supposed to be or if only open for group events? It appears to be a retreat for group events also but it was quiet when we were there. Convenient location. Bed was super comfortable. Cute balcony with loungers. Enjoyed our stay overall, though wished we could’ve found the pool. 😉"

Sacred Sands

10/10 Excellent

"Beyond expectations, the Jade Room at Sacred Sands was spotless, well-appointed and incredibly comfortable. Spacious bathroom and plentiful towels. The outdoor star-gazing bed was incredible for watching the shooting stars. The entire property is well-maintained, organized and clean. The only place I will stay in JT in the future, hands down. Can't wait to bring my friends! So grateful to have found this place!!!"
