Marquis Villas Resort Review – Palm Springs (2025)

Want to know what the Marquis Villas Resort one bedroom unit is like to stay in?

UPDATE: THIS RESORT HAS PERMANENTLY CLOSED. WE WILL UPDATE THIS POST AS SOON AS WE KNOW WHAT WILL BE REPLACING THIS PROPERTY.

Marquis Villas Resort One Bedroom Review

Marquis Villas Resort is a Diamond Resort timeshare property located right in the center of Palm Springs, California!

Diamond Resorts has recently been purchased by Hilton Grand Vacations, but as of right now, just the management and branding has changed.

The resorts themselves are not changing much until the next refurbishment is scheduled.

We enjoyed a stay recently on our way out to Tucson.

One Bedroom

So on the first look of the room, it seems pretty nice.

It’s nicely decorated and seems to have some upscale amenities.

But upon a closer look, it’s actually quite an interesting room.

The Kitchen

Notice the refrigerator and the stove when you watch the video.

I am certain that they are older than I am!

However, they were in perfect condition and if it’s not broke, don’t fix it, right?

The Living Room

Let’s move onto the living room.

Notice the giant fireplace right in the center?

But where’s the tv?

It’s tucked into a little corner above a little wet bar.

Why?

Who knows!

We were just there to work for one day before heading out to Tucson, so it didn’t affect us at all, but if we were staying for a more leisurely vacation it wouldn’t have been ideal.

The Bathroom

Last but not least, the bathroom.

Did you notice what’s odd about the bathroom?

First you have the giant open part of the bathroom.

There’s a walk-in linen closet, with a toilet right next to it just out in the open.

Then, on the far end of the bathroom is another attached bathroom with ANOTHER toilet.

And that is where the shower is.

Have you ever seen a bathroom attached to another bathroom in a hotel?

Because this was a first for me.

We have actually come across a similar layout on our travels recently though.

We’ve been staying in a lot of timeshare type units that are one bedroom and for some reason a lot of them tend to have either 1 1/2 bathrooms or 2 full bathrooms.

Usually one is part of the bedroom and the other is off the living room area.

I don’t recall any other time in my life where I’ve seen this kind of layout, so we must have just coincidentally found them all this past year!

Conclusion: Marquis Villas Resort One Bedroom Review

I honestly love when hotels are quirky and have unique layouts or themes or amenities.

So I actually really enjoyed all the randomness of this room.

I would 100% go back to this resort any time.

Did you see the view from the balcony?

And the size of the balcony?

If it wasn’t 110+ degrees while we were there we would have spent a little more time enjoying it.

It is probably the largest one bedroom hotel room I’ve ever stayed in.

I’m pretty sure it’s larger than my current apartment and it has 2 bedrooms. lol

It’s a timeshare property, but you usually don’t have to be an owner to stay at these places.

Since this resort is now permanently closed, you can also check out the Worldmark Indio and Palm Canyon resorts instead.
