  • Photos of the Marriott Desert Springs Villas I being refurbished

    They are refurbishing the units inside and out. They told us that our lock-off unit had been finished but all I noticed was that they had put in new cabinets in the kitchen and bathroom area. Also, the Jacuzzi tub had been replaced with a regular large tub with no jets.

    I am not sure if the bathroom tile had been replaced in the stall shower or on the floor as I didn't notice this at our friends' 1 BR unit at Building R. We were in Building X, unit 9882 on the second floor with a nice view but not as nice as in Building R. They have spectacular views far away on the mountains surrounding the desert area.

    They are changing the color scheme outside the buildings too and we liked it as it blends in nicely with the desert scenery and golf course . In the link below are a few more pictures of the view that the model unit has at the Enclaves. They are located in Shadow Ridge 2 and we liked the natural desert landscaping around the golf course there.

    The units are very nice too but we still like the Marriott DSV-I which are the first timeshares the Marriott built, I believe. They are bigger than most and with lots of space around the buildings and most units have a view on the golf course and several buildings have a panoramic view on the snowcapped mountains in the winter so desert and snow all at the same time. Where else do you see this?

    Here are a few more pictures.





















    The building in the background still has the old coral color.

    PS. I forgot to look if our friends had flat panel TVs or not. We gazed at the view which is more important to us. I will ask them when I talk to them again.

        Emmy - this is the efficiency side? Looks pretty large with two beds; bigger than I thought for an efficiency.

          I seem to remember that at this resort the lock off has two beds. I prefer the combo bed with sofa bed in a lock off. I thought there was a fireplace? Must be in the one bedroom side.

            This is the lock-off unit or efficiency. It only has two straight back chairs in the room and no sofa. The outside chairs were more comfortable than inside.

            The 1 BR living room has a phony fireplace but it looks nice and gives a feeling of warmth in the winter. The nights are really cool here but not as cold as where there is snow and ice.

                No sofa? That's a bit odd... I guess you would need to plan on being outside most of the time. Sounds like you had a great visit - I hope to get there one day...

                edit: Oh, I get it now after I looked at your great photos again - it's more like a hotel room with a small table and side chairs. Still looks nice, but not as big as I had imagined. I liked the Westin Maui studio that actually had a sofa in the room as well.
