Verified Reviews of Renaissance Esmeralda Resort & Spa Indian Wells
Below are the verified reviews from guests that we have booked recently:
"Great hotel and pool!"
Overall Score4.0/ 5
It was a great stay. Staff was very nice and attentive. Room was nice and clean. Only thing I would change is better music and maybe louder at the pool. Possibly a DJ to liven things up. That was the only thing missing. Pool side food and drinks were very good.
