Muslim Friendly Hotels

Las Casitas Village & Golden Door Spa, The Waldorf Astoria Collection
El Conquistador Resort & Golden Door Spa Highly (min $200/night after the added fees), this resort-style lodging is so far removed from anything else that you are forced to eat on site or drive for a relatively far distance. The service from the staff can be bad at times, and a overwhelming aura of apathy exudes from many there, especially at the front desk. Check in/out is horrifically slow, especially if you feel the need to actually debate the random charges appearing on your bill that shouldn't be there. There are many other options in the area with equally nice views at a more realistic price.
