“Perfect Preholiday Getaway”

3/3 found this review helpful

We decided to spend a few days away before the holidays and experience something new. We had never been to the Palm Desert area so we began our search for a resort. We checked the mega hotels but were happy to find the 14 room Mod Resort. I contacted the owner Laura and during a hilarious 30 min. chat we decided to book a suite after seeing the photos she emailed during our conversation. When we arrived Laura greeted us and delivered a couple of apple tini's to start our stay. Laura has created a very cool and trippy mini resort. Her skills as a designer are everywhere, from the furnishings to the logo'ed toothbrushes. The pool and jacuzzi area are very comfortable, perfect for a group or a couple. All of Laura's dining and visitor suggestions were very helpful and tastey. Our suite had a full kitchen so we dined in one night. It is a short 5 min. walk to the shopping and restaurant district. We highly recommend the Mod for those looking for something unique, definitely one of a kind...including Laura.

“The Mod Resort”

2/2 found this review helpful

This is a great example of a highly stylized boutique style hotel. It has very unique decor and the rooms are very tastefully decorated...every little detail has been designed. If you appreciate design (and have fairly modern tastes), you'll appreciate The Mod Resort.

The resort grounds are great...there are lots of places to sit down and relax, chat, be romantic, etc. outside. The pool and jacuzzi were both clean/classy. The staff was very cheery and helpful.

If your planning a party this is the ideal place, weather you rent a few rooms or the entire resort, you won't be disappointed.

4/5 found this review helpful

I spent the week in Palm Desert while on a trip for work and stayed at the MOD Resort. I found myself around beautiful views, great people and an awesome hotel. It really felt like going home after a long day. I would recommend a stay here to anyone that wants to stay in a great location in one of the coolest areas in the country.

4/6 found this review helpful

I stayed at The Mod Resort for two nights and it was an excellent experience. The room was fantastic and very comfortable and I would recommend it to anyone. It is very quiet, the grounds are beautiful and a few blocks from the greatest shopping in the Desert. So much more relaxed than the big resorts and hotels.

6/8 found this review helpful

The Mod Resort is THE place to stay in Palm Desert. It is conveniently located near El Paseo shopping and restaurants. The owner, Laura, is attentive, helpful and wonderful beyond words. The rooms are beautiful and up to date. The grounds are peaceful with tall palm trees and the pool and spa. We will be back.
