Situated in Palm Springs, 2.6 km from Palm Springs Convention Center, Dive Palm Springs provides rooms with air conditioning and free WiFi. The property boasts an outdoor pool as well. A continental breakfast is also offered. Peaceful and quiet, with very pleasant grounds for breakfast. Fountains and mellow music during the day gave a relaxing soundtrack to time spent outdoors. Easy parking and quick to get to restaurants and attractions. The jacuzzi was comfortably warm, not scalding like some places keep it, and very relaxing in the afternoon. Nice fire pits to sit near and chat. Staff was friendly, attentive, and extremely helpful. The bed was very comfortable and room access with a code meant not having to carry keys everywhere.

It was a besutiful place, we stayed in a little house wich was part of the B&B and had a delicious chinese breakfast in the morning. The view from the house werefantastic. There were many seals in the bay and we saw a kolibri, pelikans and birds of pray. There is a little beach were you can walk and take a swim. The water was very old but we liked it because there were a lot of curious seals around us looking at us.
