WorldMark Palm Springs

The Resort & Setting

WorldMark Palm Springs is a WorldMark by Wyndham property at 1177 N Palm Canyon Dr, right in downtown Palm Springs. Google reviewers (4.3/5 from 722 ratings) describe it as a relaxed, welcoming resort built around studios and suites, with outdoor pools, a hot tub and views out to the surrounding mountains. It's a lodging property that also houses an on-site real estate and travel office, which is typical of the WorldMark network — owners can handle some vacation planning and exchange business right at the resort.

This isn't a sprawling resort complex; it reads more like a relaxed, low-key base that puts you within walking distance of the main strip rather than a self-contained destination resort. That suits owners and renters who want to be out exploring Palm Springs rather than staying on property all day.

The Area & Things to Do

Palm Springs is the classic desert getaway in Riverside County, known for its mid-century modern architecture, art galleries, spa culture and warm, dry climate. North Palm Canyon Drive itself is lined with restaurants, boutiques and galleries, all within walking distance of the resort. The Palm Springs Aerial Tramway, which climbs into the San Jacinto Mountains, and Joshua Tree National Park are both popular day trips from town for owners and guests who want to get out into the desert landscape. Downtown's weekly street fair (VillageFest) and the area's many golf courses are also part of what draws repeat visitors to Palm Springs year after year.

Selling or Renting a Week Here

If you own a week at WorldMark Palm Springs and are thinking about moving it on, BidMyTimeshare.com is a straightforward owner-to-owner route: you list the week yourself, set your own asking price, and buyers or renters contact you directly through the platform. There's no commission taken from your sale — sellers pay a single, one-time listing fee to post the week, nothing more.

Before you list, it's worth knowing how WorldMark by Wyndham handles resale transfers. According to WorldMark by Wyndham, brokers have reported a transfer fee of $399 in their 2025–2026 price lists, and no right of first refusal has been found in the current ownership documentation — meaning the resort doesn't appear to have a contractual right to step in and buy back a week before an outside buyer can. Owners on forums such as TUG report that a transfer through a broker typically takes around six weeks to complete.

What a resale buyer actually receives matters too: Club Pass exchange access is limited to developer-purchased vacation credits, so a resale buyer may not get the same exchange flexibility as someone who bought directly from WorldMark. VIP status and TravelShare benefits are also reported to transfer only within the original owner's family, not to a new resale buyer. If exchanging is part of your plan, note that RCI is the verified exchange network associated with WorldMark ownership.

Renters, meanwhile, are typically looking for the basics: confirmed dates, the right unit size (studio versus a larger suite), proximity to downtown Palm Springs, and a clear idea of what's included — pool and hot tub access, for instance — before they book.

Practical Notes

Palm Springs has a hot desert climate, with summer temperatures regularly climbing above 40°C (100°F+) and a far more comfortable, popular season running from autumn through spring. If you're listing a week for sale or rent, mention which season or fixed week your usage falls into, since that's often the deciding factor for buyers comparing weeks at the same resort. Always check your current maintenance fee and any outstanding assessments before agreeing a price with a buyer, and confirm the exact transfer fee directly with WorldMark or your closing company, as fees are subject to change.
