I recently had the pleasure of staying at Korakia in Palm Springs, and it exceeded all my expectations. The Moroccan-inspired ambiance was captivating, with intricate tilework, lush gardens, and inviting courtyards. The staff's attention to detail and hospitality truly made my stay exceptional. The luxurious rooms, each uniquely decorated, provided a perfect blend of comfort and cultural charm, every aspect of Korakia radiates a five-star experience. I highly recommend this resort for anyone seeking a magical retreat with a touch of Moroccan elegance.

I hate to leave a review because I want this to always be a secret little piece of heaven, but it was just too good not to leave a review. Possibly the best hotel I’ve ever stayed at in my life?

Great place to stay! We only stayed one night, but we want to make a return trip sooner than later. The staff was extremely friendly and accommodating from check in to check out. The grounds are well kept and have lots of areas to lounge and relax. It's a short walk to down town but you feel like you're miles away from anywhere when you're on the grounds.

One Word: Amazing
My stay at Korakia was absolutely amazing. The property was clean, so beautiful, the daily breakfast was delicious, and the coffee delivered to your door was so good. I cannot say enough about how incredible and accommodating the staff was. Everything was perfect. I can't wait to go back!

We love Korakia! The grounds are absolutely beautiful, and the attention to detail is unmatched. From the welcome mint tea, to the coffee delivered to your door, to the delicious breakfast on the patio, and the cute bikes to ride around town, to the records spinning when you enter your room, and the poolside movies under the stars, everything about this property is magical. The staff is wonderful, and go out of their way to make your stay extra special. We will be back soon!

This was by far one of the best experiences I’ve had at a resort. My fiancé and I came here to relax and we made the perfect decision staying here. From the room to the amenities, we had the best time. The place is tranquil, quiet, and gorgeous. The pools are perfectly heated and not crowded. The bed was cozy. We loved the record player. Lauryn Hill was on repeat most of the trip. The room service was very convenient. The cherry on top was complimentary breakfast and then bike rides before we left. We will definitely be coming back!

Absolutely loved the Korakia! My husband and I went for a weekend away to celebrate our anniversary and couldn't have been happier. We felt like we were in Europe for the weekend. The girls that work there were all fantastic and so accommodating. We ordered take out in and they set up a little table for us rose petal and candles. Lovely!

The last time I was here was 6 years ago for my first Babymoon and this was my first trip back alone sans family, as a mommy retreat to catch up with myself (4th time here ever). Korakia did not disappoint. The grounds are beautiful and charming as ever, breakfasts still delicious, and the energy was perfect for a much needed R&R. The location in the center of town is so convenient for taking the bike out for dinner and shopping. Once you step foot on the property, the restoration magic begins to happen. They were cleaning my suite up to the minute of check in, so no early check in was accommodated. The strong smell of pine was a bit much for me at first but they left the fan on and I opened all the French doors to air it out, so not a big deal, and it was nice to know they thoroughly cleaned everything. I felt comfortable with the cleanliness and the safety procedures at the property. Staff was easy to communicate with via text for anything I needed. After such a crazy year, I can’t tell you how this trip here has restored my energy in such a short time. I honestly think that there’s no other place I’d rather be than here, if given the choice (and there are plenty) in all of Palm Springs. Everywhere you turn to look you see beauty and the caring that goes into keeping the place lovely. The authenticity of the architecture is true to somewhere actually in the Mediterranean. An escape worth every minute (and pretty penny) without getting on the plane...

My partner and I had been wanting to go to Korakia for so long and I have to say our stay was only ok considering the price. The property was cute but not the kind of sprawling property we thought it was going to be. It's nestled in a neighborhood on two sides of the street so pretty small. Our room was cute and clean and had good ac but pretty quaint. The kitchen was barely stocked like 2 plates, not enough silverware, one pan and thats it. Part of this was because of Covid I think but a warning would've been nice. The pool was so warm it was not refreshing at all. With 100 temperatures this is really unfortunate. We rode the bikes which was nice. The staff was helpful and nice but pretty casual not like an uber professionally trained staff (through no fault of their own). We also found the biggest cockroach we've ever seen in our room. Sure it's very instagram-able but not the luxury experience we wanted.

This property is not for everyone and by that I mean not for us. There are no amenities at all. No phones or TV’s in guest rooms. No music allowed at the pool. No bar. There is absolutely no privacy in the rooms, at all. Curtains do not close all the way and you can see through them. The door barely creaked open and closed and looked like it was going to fall off. Extremely thin walls. Doors and windows had large gaps of air coming in. There is no way to darken the rooif light wakes you up you cannot go back to sleep much less nap at any time. Birds are very loud in the AM and something kept climbing on the roof very loudly. Room was VERY rustic. This place is highly over priced as well. We ended up leaving after two nights even though we booked three because we could not wait to get out of this place. We were charged for 3 nights anyway so $2,250 for the worst experience we have ever had in a hotel. If you want a very boring place to stay that feels like the luxury of “glamping” at best then this place is for you. We were horrified.
