Desert Club Review: We stayed in a 2BR unit at the east end of the main pool. Nice Location as it saves a fair bit of walking just to get to Koval. Little has changed. The furnishings are reasonably comfortable, if a bit dorky, and the kitchens are still well equipped. They now come with a decent serrated knife that doesn't dull on the glass cutting board and a non-stick frypan - big improvements.

We had beer and a sandwich the first night at the Goldminer. The service was atrocious, and the chicken pesto sandwich was edible but flavorless. How do you make a flavorless pesto? The bar tender was S- L - O - W. She performed one task at a time and verry slowly at that. She was also a bit rude.

The on-site Market is minimal and expensive, but sometimes convenience rules out. The resort no longer runs the grocery shuttle, so we walked to the Vons on Maryland Parkway. Loaded with groceries we took the Flamingo bus home. There is a 99 Ranch located across the parkway from Vons. If you have never been in one - it is a tourist site all by itself.

Conclusion: Condo was nice but I expected more from the onsite Restaurant. Other than that this is still my favorite place.
