I write this as I celebrate Canada Day-152 years young. Of course, I thought about how old Palm Springs is…1853 when the natural hot springs and minerals were discovered. Regardless of age, this hotel is exquisite! Complete with mid-century architecture, this adult only resort is open to non-registered guests! Yes, that’s right, you don’t have to stay there to take advantage of all the stunning amenities it has to offer. Located at 1501 North Palm Canyon Drive, you arrive at Arrive with ID at the front desk and they simply let you in to use their ozonated pool, hot tub and pool floaties for free. In addition, they offer free beach towels and chaise lounges. With a cocktail in hand, these floaties are simply delightful. The floaties range from pineapples, watermelons, palm trees, toucans to flamingos. How could you not love that!
The other highlight is the steamed mist aerating from the neighboring palm trees that cool you down in the heat of PS, and what a relief that is!
Once there, you choose a spot and just take in the vibe!
If you fancy a cocktail and a nibble, simply put on your wrap and saunter down to Wexler’s in the hotel where you can get Dana’s Matzo soup for $10 American or if you crave something more substantial, you can order a grilled cheese sandwich with fries for $9.00 American. By the way, the poolside service is next to none with waiters and waitresses always on the alert for hungry and thirsty guests.
If you want some R and R away from family and children, I highly recommend this hotel whether you stay there or not. It has a lot to offer and guaranteed, you will not want to emerge from the pool unless a cocktail or food beckons you.
Stay tuned for more of my budgeted tropical adventures.
