Renaissance Esmeralda Resort & Spa, Indian Wells

It was my mother-in-law's birthday. It was my and my wife's first time at the resort and we both gotta say we we're satisfied with our room and the location of the place. We did have an issue on Saturday morning with the waitress at the buffet. My brother-in-law was denied complimentary buffet vouchers by the waitress and was treated disgusting. That was our only complaint about our weekend at your location this weekend. Hope to go back soon and hopefully have a better and more comfortable stay next time. Thank you

Great hotel, wonderful staff. The room was clean and the pool was very quiet so really good for the kids.

Stayed here with some friends for a girls trip for about 4 days. Check in was easy, staff helpful and the room was lovely with a nice view over the pool and seating areas. Outside areas were beautiful, with firepits to sit by in the evenings and the pool area was great. Our room was excellent for what we needed, spacious bathroom too, and comfortable bed. A great hotel to feel pampered in, and loved the coffee shop.

We had a wonderful stay at the Renaissance Esmeralda! The resort has a great mix of relaxation and activity. One of the highlights was the tennis court, which also has pickleball court lines taped—perfect for either game. The best part is that the racquets, balls, and paddles are free to use, and you don’t even need a reservation. The courts were almost always empty, which made it easy to play whenever we wanted. Our room was extremely spacious and quiet—we never heard any noise from other guests above or beside us. We had the large balcony room and it was a real treat, facing directly over the pool with an amazing view of the mountains. It felt quite private and was the perfect spot for morning coffee or evening sunsets. The staff were exceptionally friendly and helpful throughout our stay, always greeting us warmly and quick to assist with anything we needed. The only downside was that housekeeping was quite slow—our room often wasn’t serviced until 4 p.m. or later. Also, be aware that if there’s a conference taking place, a large section of the pool loungers may be removed to make space for outdoor dining and event setups, which can limit poolside seating. We also loved that the resort offers free bikes for guests to use. You can take them anywhere in the area, which made exploring so much fun and easy. Overall, a beautiful, relaxing stay with great amenities and outstanding service—we’d definitely come back!
