Peaceful place in the desert.

The Golden Resort is about 10 min from the main drag of Joshua tree and is so peaceful and relaxing. The interior is bright and airy. Outside the landscaping is very nice and there are many comfortable patio areas and hammocks in which to lounge. We had a wonderful time around the fire pit star gazing on a dark night. The hot tub and 'cowboy' tub were very clean.
