After staying at The Desert Hills, I can confidently say it's a perfect getaway filled with luxury and relaxation. The ambiance is calm and cozy, making it feel like a private oasis. However, while the breakfast was delightful, I didn't enjoy the self-check-in process as much as the traditional method. Overall, it's a peaceful retreat with excellent amenities.
