29 Palms Inn

We thoroughly enjoyed the time we spent at 29 Palms Inn. We spent a very enjoyable morning with Pat learning about the area, geology, history, flora and fauna were all covered, along with interesting stories. The area is beautiful. We couldn’t have asked for a better guide! We had an amazing meal at the Restaurant, friendly Staff who accommodated a large group. Wonderful Cocktails and great food!

The restaurant at this Inn surprised us, in such a good way! They had lots of gluten free options on the menu, with knowledgeable host/servers/kitchen staff! They even had a homemade dessert option (vegan gf brownie) that was to die for! I had a salmon green curry and it was absolutely delicious. The rest of my family is not gf and they all loved their meals. A gourmet menu in a small town, in a small restaurant. The service was amazing, they had live music on a Friday night. We were there on vacation, but would absolutely go back!!

Maybe it's because we were there at Thanksgiving, but we had a really disappointing experience here. We were expecting it to be rustic (it was), but also to have quite a close-knit family vibe and atmosphere - particularly for Thanksgiving. I had communications with one of the staff before we stayed, who was friendly and helpful, so had high expectations for the atmosphere here. We were invited to their Thanksgiving lunch, which (although expensive) we were really looking forward to, thinking everyone there would be away from home and this would be a friendly and inclusive event. But it was just like a restaurant lunch with everyone sticking to their own tables (we were stuck on a table in a corner of the pool area, next to the bathroom).

The restaurant has a wonderful outdoor vibe, which allows for a totally different experience. The food was pretty good, appetizer could have been larger portion for their price point. Everything was truly magical except two key points. One the food came out cold and they were not busy. Service was an epic failure. Our glasses were not filled in a timely matter at all. Drink glasses sat empty on our table for an extremely long time. When our meal was complete and we continued on conversation. The dishes were never taken off the table. For a mandatory 20% gratuity on a party of 6, our waitress should have done at least bare minimums. I would still recommend this place as it is so unique. If you are in the 29 Palms area, give it a try. The atmosphere saved the score. It really should be a 3.

Super nice and peaceful and quiet. The veggies in my prickly pear burger were grown in the gardens . After eating went on a walk to the gardens and oasis. Super special one of a kind place. Very unique and special.
