The most awful place is Palm Springs. I’d rather be in county jail

Concise Review Great poolside food, drinks, & staff ----- Longer Review We have visited Marriott’s Shadow Ridge in Palm Desert since 2002, and afternoons at the pool, with food and drinks from Chuckwalla Bar & Grill, are a bit part of every trip. One of my all time favorite photos is from a nice afternoon, poolside, several years ago when the kids were little... it was one of our most fun and peaceful afternoons as a family anywhere... the photos is of our daughter, asleep on my wonderful wife, my wonderful wife smiling at me, and our son was on the chair in between us, smiling as he was drinking a strawberry smoothie from Chuckwalla’s... such a blessing. We visited Southern California - Palm Desert, Yucaipa, and Malibu - for Spring Break 2021. This trip we had more activities off-property than usual, so we only got one nice long afternoon at the pool, and RebekahM made it a little extra special. The sun, the water, fun in the pool... and smoothies... such a joy. Before I had a chance to think about it, smoothies were en route from Chuckwalla... strawberry, banana, and alcohol-free pina colada. Rebekah delivered them to us with a big smile and infectiously positive attitude. Rebekah turned the fun up a notch with her dancing and smiling and laughing as she took our orders and delivered to the families around the pool... everyone was extra happy when she was around. Thank you, Rebekah and Chuckwalla, for another memorable trip! ----- ----- -----

Offering walk up and lounge chair service, we enjoyed the days we spent at the pool during our recent stay! The staff is super friendly and the menu, while limited provides enough options to keep you going. The giant pretzel and nachos were our go to snacks and the corona Rita light margarita is a must have. The bartenders were great and so was our server, Britney, who made things fun with her dancing! We will be back for a dance off someday!

Marriott has to do better than this. Terrible food, at best mediocre. We like to eat where we stay, but not at Shadow. Don't mind a bit pricy for something edible on a resort, but it has to be edible. Chuckwalla is not it, ick. Actually, that is a factor for us choosing this place again, and they did not succeed at this at all.

Great option for pool side food and drink. Food is decently priced but the drinks were a little expensive. Service by waitstaff was excellent.

The family Chuckwalla pool and small water slide is fantastic for families...poolside bartender the first few days was not good, but other guy was great...very friendly and professional!

Dustin and Guillermo are the best bartenders! Make sure to ask what the daily drink special is.

Steve Henry
