I took my girlfriend here for her birthday recently and we had a relaxing, laid-back time: the mineral pool was extremely calming, the service was great (the two women who run the place are very attentive), and the coffee cake they give you when you get there is delicious.
They've also got a very friendly pootch there, and the small, cozy atmostphere (7 rooms) really lended to a nice, communial feeling. It's easy to schmooze with other guests by the pool, but if you want to be left alone, no one will bother you.
So if you enjoy sitting in a hot springs pool, petting a cute dog and reading a book, you'll be in for a good time. We had so much fun, that we stayed an extra day.
Also, it's pretty affordable, especially because you feel like you're getting good service for the price. Sure, there's no cleaning staff (though you can pay for one if you want it), but that's not a big deal.
Suggestions if you are going: If you feel like doing something nice for your significant other, I would suggest asking them to get you some champagne and local toffee (so tasty!).
Buy some meat for the grill, because you'll probably want to stay in and relax.
The local casino is pretty lame (Caliente something or other), so it might be worth going out a few minutes more to find something nicer. I hear Morongo is better.
It's a little over an hour to get to Joshua Tree (the entrance is only about 40 minutes away, but you need to drive another 20 minutes to get to a nice place to hike), so plan accordingly.
The only problem I could think of is that my internet was a little wonky; but that's because I think we were too far away from the router. The wireless worked when we left our room.

Sagewater Spa
After seeing the reviews in TripAdvisor and comparison shopping we booked at the Sagewater Spa. Although it differed slightly from what we had in mind, it was as advertised and really quite wonderful. The pool and spa are totally relaxing. The massage was great, as was the trip over to Joshua Tree Park.
The gals will recommend restaurants and make reservations, give you a heavenly cake loaf filled with gooey cinnamon on your arrival, and even let you give little Sage shnauzer a kiss if you are missing your own critters. We had a great time.

Sagewater Spa
From the moment we walked through the door at the Sagewater Spa in Desert Hot Springs we knew we would be at peace. Our troubles fell from our shoulders as we were personally greeted by our hostesses/ guides/ mentors, and their pooch, Sage. Our only regret is that we couldn't spend every minute in the mineral waters in the pool and 100 degrees plus soaking tub. Once in a while we had to come out to prepare our barbeque meal, or go to sleep on our pristine white sheets. It was indeed, a sage choice to stay at the Sagewater Spa.

Sagewater Spa
I like to begin with thanking Cristina and Rhoni for a providing a very relaxing and graitfying experience at Sage Spa. It was both my gf's and my first time there. At first, we thought "wow, this is a very small place for a weekend getaway." But then, we realized this place just made us feel just right at home. The place has about 6 rooms total. Each room has all access to amenities you need, such as kitchen, cable, dining table, etc. And, just about a couple feet away from our door-step is the mineral pool and jaccuzzi. So, it's just perfect: you go in for dip and come out and just relax in your room. The pool side also has a bbq grill and wireless internet connection, so you pretty much have everything laid out for you.
Sage Spa is a perfect place for a couple's getaway or even for friends' getaway. The service is indescribily awesome! For those who will be going there for their first time, make sure to eat their coffee cake. Omg! it's so good!!! And of course, try Cristina and Rhoni's mouth-watering "Caprina" cocktail. Hands down the greatest ! I know I will be heading back soon!
