Legacy Villas La Quinta Resort

I lived here for 2 months in summer/fall of 2020 during the pandemic while remodeling my home. Very clean, quiet, the pools are beautiful, the grounds a full of greenery, flowers, and water fixtures. The restaurant is accommodating. This is a top choice to stay at right on Eisenhower and right up against the gorgeous mountains. Views of beautiful sunsets from the 3rd floor balcony, and enough parking options. The security gate is strict, so it's a very safe option as well. The architecture is classic Spanish design and overall the ambiance just warms your heart. Some of the time share cleaning agencies managing some units are not great at communicating, but that entirely depends on what App you use to book through on your reservation. I Very much recommend the Legacy Villas.

Very hot in August but l, because it’s the “off season”, better pricing. We’ve been here a few times … usually very quiet and relaxing. This year, apparently we didn’t get the memo about landscaping, and at 8 am they were cutting trees around the clubhouse pools. Very noisy and not so quiet and relaxing. But we were the only ones who stayed in spite of the noise. Overall a quite nice place with reasonable pricing if you’re willing to tolerate the August heat and hot water … there is no such thing as cold water here

Wonderful resort! Everything was really clean and the view of the mountains was magnificent. Very safe location as well. Would definitely stay there again.

The property is beautiful. It is surrounded by mountains that is so close to it. On our entire stay, we didnt share the pool with anyone! The property is so clean and quiet! Would come back again.

Beautiful stay in La Quinta. The property is well maintained and the pools are terrific. Nice location mountainside and next to La Quinta Resort. Your stay will be secure and relaxing here in one of the villas.

Water falls filled mimimal calcium. Great Bed and brunching. Keep pets on leash. My friends kids say a " mountain lion" was seen nearby. Months back

So disappointed with the lack of upgrade in the 2 bedroom Villa. We noticed a pile of dead bugs in the master bedroom near the French doors, was hard to see due to the tiles being a dark brown color.my husband spent the time to vacuum the entire 1300sq ft villa just in case. Our 5yo almost stepped on the pile of bugs while playing. They offered to spray "raid" and a maintenance guy stopped by after we had cleaned up.

The day before we checked out we received an email asking for a "to do" list. Put a load of white towels in the wash, run the dish washer with dirty dishes, take the trash out to the trash bins, on and on.yet charges the guest $150 departure cleaning fee. Hmm who's actually doing half of the cleaning before we need to check out? Ridiculous.

If you are expecting a high end stay don't bother. The villas need a major upgrade on all furniture, and bathroom tiles etc.

Online photos are def nicer than in person. Unfortunately, we will not be returning. Don't charge your guests a cleaning fee if you're requesting they do half of the cleaning for you!

Beautiful area surrounded by mountains, very secluded, but unfortunately very hot area to be in, the highest it got was 115 degrees, the pool helps slightly with the heat, they have numerous pools you can enjoy including an area for children. The inside was beautiful, big rooms and bathrooms. They provide a lot of things for you in the kitchen like pots, pans, and spices. They have cable TV and firestick so you can watch TV and movies. Spent majority of my trip inside because it was way too hot maybe I would come back in the winter but definitely would not go back during the summer.

Great well maintained place, we totally enjoyed our stay here. Definitely will recommend it to my friends.

I’m sad to be posting this review, because I really wanted to enjoy my stay here. I did a lot of research on this hotel/resort and a few others before booking my stay. The plan was to spend a few days in La Quinta and just absolutely zen out. I picked this resort because there are so many different amenities and luxuries available on site. I liked the fact that I wouldn’t have to leave much. My stay was reserved from the 27 of may to the 31st. The first night went very very well. It was so quiet and serene. The room was very clean feeling, the property itself is absolutely stunning, parking was a breeze. It was all going well. The second day started off well. Their biggest pool where you can lounge under cabanas is by far the busiest. There are numerous pools on the property, my one complaint is not having enough shade. They had some umbrellas near the pools but they don’t do much to shield you from the sun and heat. It was about 100 when I was there. I was a very short distance from a pool that was completely empty and I thoroughly enjoyed that. That day I spent mostly out and about exploring La Quinta, when I returned back to my room, I noticed the resort was quite busier that it was the night before. I assumed that it was because of Memorial Day. Initially it was okay, but I did notice some rather noisy guests had checked in across from my Casita. They were playing music on a speaker and their kids were playing right in the communal space outside the casita. A couple hours later, someone checked in in the Casita above mine. I was taking a bath at 10 when I really noticed them. I don’t know if this was more how they were walking or more about how thin the floors were but it seemed as if they were stomping from 10pm to midnight. I mean stomping. The walls would shake, the shower door would rattle, the ceiling fan would even rattle. It was unbelievably loud. At one point at about 11: 30, I reached out to management and let them know. They said they would notify the guests and ask them to keep it down. It did quiet down for a short time, and then started right back up again and went until about 12: 30am. On the 29th, well, that entire day was MISERABLE. Across from me, directly above me, and above me to the left all of the guests knew each other. They were throwing a party all day long. Extremely loud amplified music, yelling and loud voices, doors slamming, stomping. I mean, it was just miserable. I really was not trying to be difficult or high maintenance, but I came to this resort specifically to relax, and when everyone around you is partying it is very very difficult. When I first booked, they ask you to go over the policies, I believe you even sign something to acknowledge them, one of the policies is a noise ordinance which they say is enforced. I was in contact with management a lot. I didn’t expect no noise, but certainly them to keep it down. At least for the loud music and yelling to stop. It was a battle I wasn’t going to win. I reached out to management, and spoke initially to Dan. Dan’s response did not impress me. His exact words were, “This building was actually built better than 99% of the hotels out there but people are going to celebrate a little with their families on a big holiday weekend. ” This was not a “little” celebration. And had I known I would be competing with amplified music, yelling and loud voices, and stomping until midnight two nights in a row, I would have chosen a different resort. I reached out to Michelle who generally has been easier to deal with. She apologized and said she would refund me for Sunday night. I tried to stay out of the resort for the majority of that evening so I wouldn’t be so annoyed, and every time I came back, I felt pushed out by the guests. I felt uncomfortable. Checked out the next day. Very disappointing stay. Miserable. I wanted to love it, but my experience was just awful.

Update: sad to see owners are taking such a negative and defensive stance to me sharing my experience.

Not Covid safe AT ALL. No one wears masks and there was a huge non covid safe wedding on the premises. If you care about your safety and believe in the pandemic, do not go here.

Gate lady (guard) was the absolute worst I’ve ever dealt with. She tried to call the police within 45 seconds of me being at the gate while trying to find/get parking for my reservation. Made me feel dirty for renting a villa to stay in over the weekend. This is NOT the la Quinta resort. And frankly, the only forward-facing staff was unprofessional and blatantly aggressive. I don’t recommend.

7/2020: This was our first stay at this resort. We’ve been coming out here for 4 decades and have our set places we stay. However, with Covid restrictions, we’ve had to change some plans.
Pros: Large complex, clean, large units, large bathrooms, large patios, private entrances, private garages, large main pool area with large kiddie pool/splash pad/large adult pool (snack shack shut down for summer), lots of satellite pools, beautiful mountain backdrop (view from some unit patios).
Cons: really, nothing worth commenting about.
This is an excellent resort choice for this area. Lots of restaurants, shopping, grocery stores within a 10 minute drive. Very safe community.

We had a wonderful stay at this 3 bedroom, 3 bath property in La Quinta. The Legacy Villas complex is quiet, wonderfully landscaped and convenient. It was a quick drive from LA and we got to soak up some sun and lots of pool time. Even during social distancing, we felt comfortable with the space at the pools and their cleaning efforts to ensure safety. We definitely recommend this spot for your next getaway.

I love going to Legacy Villas with my family several times a year. The vibe is amazing. I especially love the bike trails and pools. The units are spacious and cozy for hanging out with my friends.
